What is she doing here?
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, Liao Nanxing quickly stepped forward and pulled the person into the corridor leading to the restroom.
Looking at the woman with such classical charm in front of him, Liao Nanxing was momentarily lost in thought.
The exquisite cheongsam with its subtle floral pattern hugged her curvaceous figure.
The high collar made her swan-like neck appear even more noble.
The slanted V-neckline subtly reveals the fair collarbone, inevitably sparking the imagination.
The thigh-high slit exudes endless allure.
The woman by the wine shop is like the moon, her fair wrists like frost and snow—that's the perfect description of a woman like this!
"Let go!" Zhou Chunhua pushed the person away.
Coming to his senses, Liao Nanxing awkwardly tugged at his collar.
“What are you doing here?” he demanded.
Where I am is none of your business.
Liao Nanxing sneered.
"I know you want to win me back, otherwise you wouldn't have come up with such a disgusting and despicable trick as leaving with nothing to force me to stay with you. I divorced you against all odds, and now you're dressed like this to get my attention."
Don't waste your time! If I had even the slightest feeling for you, I wouldn't have been willing to leave with nothing to get a divorce. Please don't ever appear in front of me like this again!
"I...you..." Zhou Chunhua was speechless and didn't know where to begin her scolding.
"You're in your fifties, and what are you dressed like?! It's an embarrassment! This is my college reunion, so stop loitering here and get out of here! There's no future for us!"
"Narcissist! Besides Su Mu, that trash-picking guy, who would be interested in an old scumbag like you?" Zhou Chunhua controlled her hand that wanted to hit someone and turned to leave.
"Are you crazy! The door is this way!" Liao Nanxing pulled the person back.
He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "If you dare to cause trouble here, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Really? Come on! Try being impolite to me!" Zhou Chunhua took a step forward, slowly raising her already clenched fist.
"I...I'm warning you, if you come any closer, I really won't be polite." Liao Nanxing took a step back.
"Come on!" Zhou Chunhua stepped forward again.
Liao Nanxing took another step back.
"Hmph! Coward!" Zhou Chunhua sneered and stepped forward again.
"You! Come out with me!" Liao Nanxing stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Chunhua's hand.
Unable to contain her disgust any longer, Zhou Chunhua, who had been touched, swung her free hand directly at Liao Nanxing's face.
The crisp sound of a slap echoed amidst the soft, elegant music.
People were already looking this way from the other side of the corridor.
Liao Nanxing dared not delay any longer and pulled Zhou Chunhua toward the gate.
"Stop!" a clear voice rang out.
The next second, Liao Nanxing's hand, which was holding Zhou Chunhua's, was grabbed by someone else.
With a sharp pain in his wrist, Liao Nanxing let out a muffled groan as he was shoved against the wall.
Gu Yao! What's he doing here?
Gu Yao, Zhou Chunhua... what is their relationship?
He and Zhou Chunhua are both divorced, so why is Gu Yao still with her?
Gu Yao didn't even glance at Liao Nanxing.
"Are you alright? Does your hand hurt?"
Zhou Chunhua shook her head.
Gu Yao looked at the red marks on Zhou Chunhua's wrist with heartache, then turned his icy gaze to Liao Nanxing.
Just as Gu Yao raised his hand, Zhou Chunhua pulled it back.
"There's no need to make things unpleasant here. Don't embarrass your mentor."
Gu Yao then withdrew his hand.
"Liao Nanxing, if you dare to touch her again, I won't be polite to you anymore."
"Junior Brother Gu... Oh? Old Liao, you're here! Hurry up, Teacher was just saying you were the only one missing."
Liu Zhiwen walked over enthusiastically.
"Old Liao, your face..."
Liao Nanxing touched her burning cheek and said awkwardly, "I accidentally bumped into you just now. Let's go see the teacher."
"Where did you bump into? You even got a handprint." Liu Zhiwen said cheerfully, then turned to Gu Yao and said politely, "Junior Brother Gu, come on, our teacher is looking for you."
Gu Yao nodded politely, naturally took Zhou Chunhua's hand and put it in his arm, then walked towards Liu Zhiwen.
Liao Nanxing awkwardly rubbed his face, trying to avoid having his handprint noticed later.
On the way, Liao Nanxing asked Liu Zhiwen and learned that Gu Yao had also been a student of his mentor.
Zhou Chunhua followed Gu Yao to the head seat at the main table.
Liao Nanxing stepped forward respectfully first: "Master, it's been a long time. I hope you are in good health."
The elderly man in the main seat had white hair, a kind face, and wore a Zhongshan suit, exuding a strong scholarly air.
He looks like a very knowledgeable person.
"Okay, everything's fine." After saying that, she turned to Gu Yao and made arrangements: "Xiao Yao, sit here."
Gu Yao nodded, but first pulled out the empty seat next to the guest of honor and let her sit down.
Zhou Chunhua, after taking her seat, politely smiled and nodded to the elderly man in the main seat.
The old man politely returned her a smile.
Then, Gu Yao sat to the right of the old man, his senior classmate Teacher Liu sat to the left of the old man, and Liao Nanxing sat next to Teacher Liu.
While the waiter was serving the drinks, Liao Nanxing greeted everyone else.
Everyone raised their glasses and chatted amongst themselves, creating a lively atmosphere.
The old man in the main seat was talking to Liao Nanxing, but Liao Nanxing's eyes kept glancing in her direction.
Gu Yao served her some food, and she smiled in return.
Gu Yao had asked me to help with the acting today. He said it was for free because his teacher kept pressuring him to get married.
Since she agreed to help, she naturally had to act naturally.
"Oh my, I never expected that Junior Brother Gu, who is usually so cold and aloof, would have such a warm side. I wonder when Junior Brother Gu will invite us to his wedding?"
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Liu, I'll personally deliver the invitation. However, Teacher Shao and Senior Brother Liu can attend Senior Brother Liao's wedding first, right, Teacher Liao?"
He's not one to be trifled with if anyone dares to lay a hand on his woman.
Everyone present stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Liao Nanxing.
"Old Liao's wedding banquet? Didn't Old Liao get married a long time ago? Back then, it wasn't as convenient as it is now, so none of us got to attend Old Liao's wedding banquet. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed. What? Is Old Liao planning to make up for the wedding banquet he owed everyone back then?"
“It’s time to make up for it!” The old man in the main seat said with a smile, “Over the years, you’ve come to see me every year, but you’ve never brought your wife. Over the years, your career has been successful, and I’m sure your wife has sacrificed a lot for you.”
Don't underestimate a small family; there are always countless trivial matters. Just like your teacher's wife, she worried herself sick for this family for decades. In the end, she was left with a lot of illness and passed away before me.
It's too late for regrets. You weren't well-off before, but now you're a professor; it's time to make it up to them. Don't end up like me, with regrets.
Liao Nanxing looked grim.
The reason he couldn't bring Su Mu today was twofold: first, he couldn't explain Su Mu's identity to the teachers; second, if they knew Su Mu was newly married, they would immediately know about his extramarital affair just by looking at Su Mu's pregnant belly.
My beloved teacher has always been a man of great loyalty and affection; I fear he will never acknowledge me as his student again.
