Chapter Twenty-Three: Everyone Waiting Outside



Shen Yanxi is a person who cares a lot about her image. Her shouting here has already attracted a lot of attention.

But she didn't seem to care at all.

He Lingchuan thought back to when they were together. Shen Yanxi was worried that others would misunderstand their relationship when they walked side by side. At that time, he was not presentable, and Shen Yanxi was very careful when she went out.

In order to spend more time with Shen Yanxi, He Lingchuan usually chooses to go out at night so that no one can recognize him.

And now? She actually publicly supports Zhou Mingyan in this public place, and even shouts and yells. She has thrown all her principles to the back of her mind, just for this one man?

Professor Zhao became even more furious upon hearing his words: "Are you now accusing me of going back on my word?"

He looked Shen Yanxi up and down. She did have guts, but when he thought of He Lingchuan giving up his promising future for her, all his optimism and praise vanished: "Lingchuan ruined his career for you?"

He questioned Shen Yanxi, seemingly intending to stand up for He Lingchuan.

Faced with the elders' questioning, Shen Yanxi remained polite and explained to Professor Zhao, "This was her own choice."

Upon hearing these three words, He Lingchuan also became somewhat uneasy.

"I volunteered? Did I even have a choice?"

He had no other choice but to give up his career and become a stay-at-home husband in order to put Shen Yanxi at ease.

Only in this way could Shen Yanxi glance at him more.

Sensing He Lingchuan's sorrow, Professor Zhao offered no comfort, but instead rubbed salt into his wounds: "Is this the woman who made you give up your piety? Lingchuan, do you think it was worth it?"

Is it worth it?

He Lingchuan asked himself this question. He had been making excuses for himself before, but now that he thought about it...

"not worth."

It's really not worth it.

All his remaining hope vanished, and from then on, he felt only endless indifference and resentment towards Shen Yanxi.

"It's good that you know. If you do something foolish like this again, find someone worthy of it."

Professor Zhao's eyes, hidden behind his glasses, were sharp and cold, and his voice carried an air of "keep away."

He genuinely felt that He Lingchuan was being treated unfairly.

He Lingchuan is incredibly stupid to give up his career for such an ungrateful wretch.

He slapped his forehead: "How could I have such a stupid student like you?"

He Lingchuan is single-minded, which is his strength, but sometimes, Professor Zhao really doesn't wish he had this strength.

Gu Chengze watched this farce unfold, and at the opportune moment, he spoke up: "Shen Yanxi, are you alright? Don't waste our time here."

"I just want justice."

Shen Yanxi clearly intended to avenge Zhou Mingyan.

Forget about professors and teachers, all he wants right now is for He Lingchuan to apologize.

"I will never apologize to him."

He Lingchuan made his stance clear. He glanced at Professor Zhao and said respectfully, "Professor, let's go."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Shen Yanxi stopped him: "What exactly is your relationship with Professor Zhao?"

The two of them seemed to be closer than she was. Shen Yanxi had gone to great lengths to get Zhou Mingyan tickets to this summit.

He Lingchuan didn't have to do anything to be personally led in by Professor Zhao. How could she not be surprised?

Hearing her words, Gu Chengze chimed in, "Don't you know his relationship with Professor Zhao? He's the 'best guy' on our team."

"Their team?" Shen Yanxi pondered for a moment, then looked at He Lingchuan with expectant eyes: "You mean your AI team?"

Gu Chengze's research in AI is quite advanced, and many companies want to cooperate with him.

But he looks down on everyone, and the older brothers and staff members in his team are all prominent figures in their respective fields.

Even Shen Yanxi had to admire him for being able to find so many outstanding individuals.

She never imagined that the person she shared a bed with would be the outstanding individual he had described.

Are you kidding me?

"Whether I'm joking or not, you can tell by looking at the professor's attitude."

Gu Chengze looked at him disdainfully: "Professor Zhou never wants useless students."

That's true; every student Professor Zhao teaches must have achieved success in their respective fields.

After being taught by him, their grades will only get better and better.

This is why so many outstanding people still want to be his students.

But……

"How come I didn't know he was so amazing before?"

In Shen Yanxi's eyes, He Lingchuan was a man who cooked very well and could take good care of his home and children.

Now, if you say he's an AI expert, Shen Yanxi would never believe it.

She grabbed He Lingchuan's clothes: "What exactly happened?"

He Lingchuan slowly raised his eyelids: "So what if you know?"

He didn't want to waste time explaining to Shen Yanxi.

With the summit about to begin, Professor Zhao specially arranged a time for him to present his latest research.

If he can sell this research through this summit, he can earn a large sum of money.

This can be considered his first pot of gold after his divorce.

Professor Zhao waited at the door for a while and then urged him, "Hurry up."

He already didn't have a good impression of Shen Yanxi. It was bad enough that she had seduced his good student, but now that they were divorced, she was still bothering him and bringing another man with her. If it weren't for the Shen family, he would have kicked her out long ago.

"Coming right now, teacher."

He Lingchuan hurriedly responded and turned to look at the hand that Shen Yanxi was using to grab his sleeve: "Let go."

Shen Yanxi paused, this was the first time He Lingchuan had spoken to her in such an impatient tone.

"You want me to let go?"

She has a very strong sense of self-respect and never admits defeat.

"Are you sure? I'll never do it again..."

"I'm very busy."

Seeing that she had relaxed her grip, He Lingchuan immediately pushed her away.

The moment he gained his freedom, He Lingchuan visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't even glance at Shen Yanxi, and pushed Gu Chengze into the banquet hall.

Shen Yanxi stared blankly at He Lingchuan as he left, the hand he had pushed away still holding onto him.

"He Lingchuan, how come you've changed so much?"

She muttered to herself. Zhou Mingyan had originally planned to whisper in her ear and ask her to help him get revenge.

Now, she felt that Shen Yanxi seemed to be rekindling their old flame.

"Xixi, Xixi?"

He gently nudged Shen Yanxi's shoulder, his expression also somewhat grave: "Should we still go in?"

He couldn't help but complain, "That He Lingchuan is really something, he actually left you all alone outside."

Shen Yanxi was swayed by his emotions: 'Yeah, he actually left me outside all alone?'

Shen Yanxi clenched her fist: "He Lingchuan, you've really gotten something out of you."
