"That was your fault to begin with. My hitting you was a legitimate act of self-defense and heroism, so you should apologize to me!"
Gu Chaoyan's expression suddenly changed, and she put on that arrogant look again, looking at Lin Yue with disdain, "You wouldn't happen to be Yun Zheng's kept mistress, would you?"
"If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll beat you up again."
Seeing Lin Yue's unusual reaction, Gu Chaoyan became even more certain of her guess! So she smiled even more smugly, "Then you should explain yourself, what else could a man be if not a lover, when he's being so nice to you for no reason?"
"Your heart is filthy, so everything you see is filthy! I'm too lazy to explain to someone like you. Jiang Li, let's go!"
The two glared at Gu Chaoyan with a shared sense of righteous indignation, then walked together toward the dormitory building.
Halfway there, Jiang Li suddenly patted her hand, "Yuezai, is that your uncle?"
Lin Yue suddenly stopped and looked in the direction Jiang Li was pointing. Her heart sank. Who else could it be but Song Yunzheng! What was he doing at the school?
Song Yunzheng happened to see Lin Yue and walked straight towards her. Every female classmate who passed by him stopped and covered her mouth to watch, her eyes filled with amazement, just like her reaction when she first saw him.
Jiang Li reacted first, smiling as she greeted Song Yunzheng, "Hello, handsome uncle, are you here to see Lin Yue?"
Why does the term "uncle" sound so jarring? Song Yunzheng frowned slightly and said calmly, "Hello."
Faced with this unexpected situation, Lin Yue immediately put on a well-behaved and cute demeanor, looked at Song Yunzheng, and said sweetly, "Uncle, why did you come to school? Is there something wrong?" She even winked mischievously after saying that.
Song Yunzheng looked at her with a forced smile, "I came to find you. You didn't reply to any of my WeChat messages, so I thought you had disappeared. I came to the school to check and make sure."
Lin Yue, of course, understood his underlying meaning: he was just upset that she hadn't replied to his message and was coming to interrogate her! What a petty person!
"Oh? Really? I must have been too busy studying lately and forgot to reply. You know how it is, third-year students have a tight schedule and heavy workload. They also have to prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam. They simply don't have time to check their phones!"
"Really?" Song Yunzheng took out his phone, opened her Moments, held it up in front of her, and said with a smile, "Then who posts these daily updates on Moments?"
That damn old man, he doesn't give her any face at all! Lin Yue's back teeth were practically grinding to powder, but she still had to keep smiling.
Lin Yue turned around and stuffed the book in her arms into Jiang Li's hands, smiling ingratiatingly, "Baby~ why don't you help me take the book back to the dormitory first? I'll chat with my uncle for a while and be back soon."
Jiang Li looked at the strange uncle and nephew in front of her with a puzzled expression, then nodded, "Alright, I'll go in first."
After confirming that Jiang Li had entered the dormitory building, Lin Yue pulled Song Yunzheng to a quiet corner and questioned, "Tell me, what are you doing here?"
"Didn't I already say I was here to confirm if you were missing?"
"Is that all?" Lin Yue looked up at him, her eyes flickering.
She was still angry, but when she thought about what Gu Chaoyan had said and saw him standing in front of her, her anger immediately disappeared. She hadn't expected him to help her. The feeling of being protected... seemed pretty good.
"Are you still angry?" Song Yunzheng asked softly.
"There's still a little..." Lin Yue lowered her head, unconsciously pouting.
Although she had calmed down, she just didn't want him to know that she was too easy to appease.
"And now?" As he spoke, Song Yunzheng handed her a beautifully packaged jewelry box.
Lin Yue looked at him in surprise, reached out and took it, opened it, and saw a necklace that shimmered brilliantly in the natural light lying quietly in the box, sparkling like a star in the night sky. "Wow~ diamonds! So beautiful, is it for me?"
"This is for you, do you like it?"
"I love it!" Lin Yue nodded vigorously, her eyes fixed on the necklace in her hand.
Seeing her adorable expression of being obsessed with money, Song Yunzheng couldn't help but smile. "I'm not good at comforting people, especially a kid like you, so this necklace is my way of apologizing."
He's already sent such an expensive gift to express his apology. If I keep putting on airs, wouldn't I be incredibly ungrateful?
Lin Yue happily went up and hugged him, but quickly let go. "I'm not angry anymore. Thank you for helping me, and thank you for the apology gift!"
Song Yunzheng smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."
Lin Yue suddenly changed the subject, "If you always apologize like this, can I make you angry more often in the future? And then you can coax me back?"
"Lin Yue, you're my wife. I can give you any gift you want. There's no need to beat around the bush like this."
Hearing this, Lin Yue suddenly blushed, scratched her head, and said shyly, "Hehe~ just kidding."
Meanwhile, not far from them, Gu Chaoyan was holding up her phone and filming the entire interaction between the two.
"Lin Yue, Lin Yue, I've told you not to mess with me. The evidence is irrefutable, so you can't deny it now, can you?"
She silently put her phone away, a smile on her lips, but her eyes were filled with malice and viciousness.
