Teng Pingmao put his arm around her shoulders, leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed, and murmured, "... Huihui, are you okay?"
The woman closed her eyes, as if she was very resistant to the name, but she didn't refute it in the end. She just smiled and said, "Very good, I'm fine. Pingmao, you have to be fine too..."
She patted Teng Pingmao's chest.
Teng Pingmao held her hand and said, "If we have a daughter, how about naming her Teng Xiaohui?"
The woman seemed to have finally lost her patience and pushed Teng Pingmao's hand away. Her eyes were red as she choked out tears and said, "Pingmao! Don't treat me like a fool!"
"If you already have someone in your heart, then don't bother with me!"
She suddenly stood up, stood in front of Teng Pingmao, and looked down at him.
Teng Pingmao lifted one eyelid and looked at her coldly.
The cold light in his eyes made him seem like a completely different person from the gentle and affectionate man just now.
The woman wrapped her nightgown tightly around herself and took a step back, frightened by his gaze. She stammered, "Did I...did I say something wrong?! You clearly...you clearly treated me as a substitute for someone else!"
Teng Pingmao looked at her face full of anger, but smiled slightly and said, "What are you thinking? Why would I treat you as a substitute? Whose substitute?"
The woman was no longer so frightened when she saw Teng Pingmao's coldness subsided. She frowned and said, "Are you still thinking about your first love? But she's already married!"
Teng Pingmao rubbed his brows and frowned, saying, "Nonsense! I broke up with her a long time ago and haven't been in touch for years. What are you thinking?"
Then, without waiting for the woman to answer, Teng Pingmao waved his hand and said, "You should go and rest. It's very late. I'll sit for a while and then go upstairs to accompany you."
The woman's anger turned into joy and she said, "Then come up quickly!"
She turned and went upstairs, even her steps were much lighter.
Teng Pingmao folded his arms and leaned back on the sofa, looking like he was worried about something.
Xia Chujian quietly followed the woman upstairs.
She originally wanted to see if this woman had any evidence that could help her bring down Teng Pingmao.
It turned out that the woman returned to the bedroom and did not go to sleep immediately. Instead, she pulled out a virtual display screen and started chatting with someone.
[Huining]: Honghong, are you there?
[Honghong]: Aning, I'm here... But it's daytime here, and it's midnight there, right? Why aren't you asleep yet? What time is it?
[Hui Ning]: Honghong, I feel so sad... I gave my whole heart to Pingmao, but I always feel that his heart is not with me...
Honghong: How could this be?! Aning, you have the best family background and the best grades among our high school classmates. Didn't Teng Pingmao also come from a humble background? How could you have ulterior motives?! Are you overthinking this?
[Hui Ning]: I also hope that I am overthinking it, but he never calls me "Aning". Even though I told him many times, he always called me "Hui Hui"!
[Hui Ning]: Just call me "bad luck"! How can you keep calling someone by their surname? I've told him so many times to call me Aning, but he promised to do it to my face and then forgot it the moment he turned around!
[Hui Ning]: Today we even said that if we have a daughter, we will name her Teng Xiaohui!
Hui Ning: Listen to this! Listen to this! If we were to name our daughter after our surnames, it should be Teng Hui! Not Teng Xiaohui!
Honghong: ...Are you overthinking this? Teng Hui and Teng Xiaohui aren't that different...
Huining: Honghong, you've never been in a relationship, so you don't understand! Tenghui is his last name, and my last name, so putting them together is totally fine!
[Hui Ning]: And Teng Xiaohui must be a woman’s name, Xiaohui!
[Hui Ning]: So he always calls me "Hui Hui", but he is actually calling another woman!
Hui Ning: I'm a woman! I'm a woman who loves him with all my heart! Only I can feel that every time he looks at me, he's looking at someone else through me!
Xia Chujian couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw this, wondering if Hui Ning had read too many online novels about domineering CEO stand-ins?!
And Honghong obviously had the same idea as her.
[Honghong]: ...Aning, have you read too many online novels about domineering CEOs acting as stand-ins? There aren't that many stand-ins in real life. Besides, Teng Pingmao isn't exactly a domineering CEO...
[Honghong]: Of course, once Teng Pingmao is elected to the lower house of the Senate, he'll be considered a top boss. Aning, we high school classmates are all very envious of you!
[Honghong]: You are our top student! Marrying well is the real happiness!
Xia Chujian rolled her eyes speechlessly.
A top student just wants to marry well?
This is too much of an insult to the word "academic master".
As someone who has always been a poor student and occasionally a top student, Xia Chujian also looks down on this statement.
She was too lazy to listen to the two girls continue talking nonsense.
I just walked around this bedroom.
Upon taking a look, I realized that this bedroom has a very strong feminine atmosphere. It must be a woman's bedroom, right?
It doesn't look like Teng Pingmao lives here either.
Could it be that this couple hasn’t lived together yet?
Xia Chujian was puzzled and glanced at the virtual display screen on Huining's side.
Huining had no idea that someone had followed her in, so she had no scruples when sending the message.
[Hui Ning]: Honghong, we have been in a relationship for more than a month, but he only comes to my room at that time. The rest of the time, he lives in his own bedroom.
Huining: I was very unhappy. I wanted to live with him, but he wouldn't let me...
[Honghong]: Hehehe…at that time, at that time…Aning, you are so shy!
