When Wu Youyou chose him, Tang Chuxuan knew he was just a shield, but he was still happy inside.
At the very least, he and Wu Youyou have taken a step closer, which is a good thing for him.
After Wu Youyou calmed down, she spoke to Tang Chuxuan.
"Instructor Tang, thank you for today!"
"Youyou, everything I've done today is for you. I'm serious. I have no worries behind me and can give you the sense of security you need."
Wu Youyou was moved upon hearing this, but she also knew that she was not in a suitable state to discuss such matters. She said calmly,
"Instructor Tang, I'll pretend you never said those things today. I don't want to discuss these matters with you now. Please take me to school."
Tang Chuxuan smiled wryly, knowing that she was avoiding him, so he stopped making things difficult for her.
But thinking of Shan Tianen, he felt the other party wasn't as simple as he seemed, and reminded him...
“Youyou, I’ve investigated this Shan Tianen. He grew up in an orphanage and then escaped. Nobody knows what he went through before he suddenly became a mysterious investor. And now, he’s willing to reveal his true identity just to meet you. Don’t you think there’s something wrong with this?”
After hearing this, Wu Youyou also fell into deep thought. She couldn't understand why this was happening.
Is it all just to get myself to sign a contract with Director Huang?
But what are the motives behind such a signing?
“Instructor Tang, I am also puzzled by Shan Tianen’s behavior today, but so far, he doesn’t seem to have any ill intentions towards me.”
"Youyou, don't judge a book by its cover. Didn't you think I had ill intentions towards you at first? But even now, do you still think that way?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Youyou immediately blushed.
"Indeed, Young Master Tang has a discerning eye. I still have a lot to learn from you!"
"Heh~ Are you praising me or insulting me?"
To Tang Chuxuan, "cunning and shrewd" did indeed sound like a derogatory term.
However, Wu Youyou did want to praise him.
"Of course I'm praising you!"
"Alright, then take it as a compliment. But be careful of this person in the future. With such simple background information, he's either trying his best to hide his background or he's just an ordinary person who made a comeback. But for an ordinary person to cross social classes, it's easier said than done. I'm more inclined to believe the former."
Looking into Tang Chuxuan's shrewd and sharp eyes, Wu Youyou sensed a particularly strong sense of cunning and treachery. Making an enemy of such a person would be extremely troublesome.
Tang Chuxuan sensed Wu Youyou's strange gaze on him, instantly concealing the sharpness in his eyes, and said with a smile,
"Why are you looking at me like that? Am I dangerous? Why are you so wary of me!"
Wu Youyou immediately looked away before daring to speak.
"Instructor Tang, perhaps the impression you made on me from the beginning has already been ingrained in my mind. To be honest, a person like you is sometimes cynical, sometimes rigorous and profound, intelligent yet cunning, and shrewd yet humane. I always feel that anyone who opposes you would have little chance of winning."
"Oh... so it seems I'm highly regarded by you!"
At this moment, Tang Chuxuan gave Wu Youyou the impression of being cynical and irreverent, yet he was also full of cunning.
Wu Youyou couldn't help but wonder to herself: Is he the person the leader of the Phoenix Organization is supposed to contact?
Wu Youyou wanted to test the waters further, but the car wasn't convenient, so she wanted to reschedule with Tang Chuxuan.
"Instructor Tang, I am so grateful for your concern for me today. You went to all the trouble to rescue me and then took the time to get me back to school. I owe you this favor. I'll treat you to a meal in a couple of days as a way of repaying you."
"That's wonderful! It's a deal! I'm really looking forward to it."
Tang Chuxuan was delighted by Wu Youyou's gratitude, realizing that today's actions had not been entirely ineffective!
Shi Zhan drove closely behind Tang Chuxuan's car, as if it were a shadow, to ensure that Wu Youyou returned to school safely.
Tang Chuxuan glanced at the sports car in the rearview mirror, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
Following his gaze, Wu Youyou also glanced back.
Seeing Shi Zhan following closely behind, she frowned slightly. He was about to get engaged to Wei Ziyao, and she felt a mix of emotions.
She thought that after being reborn in this life, there would be some changes, but the fact that Wei Ziyao was his wife seemed to be beyond her control and she had no way to change it.
Seeing this, Tang Chuxuan spoke sarcastically.
"This guy is having his engagement party the day after tomorrow, and he's still clinging to you like crazy. He's really a womanizer!"
Wu Youyou felt as if a stone was lodged in her heart, making her feel suffocated.
She involuntarily opened the car window, turned her face to the outside, and let the strong wind from the moving vehicle blow her hair like a storm.
She murmured softly, bathed in the whistling wind.
"They're even!"
"What did you say?"
Tang Chuxuan didn't hear clearly, but it didn't seem to be anything nice.
Wu Youyou squinted as the wind blew in.
At this moment, all she wanted was to enjoy the breeze and not think about anything else.
Unbeknownst to her, Wu Youyou had fallen asleep.
When the car arrived at the school gate, Tang Chuxuan saw that she was sleeping soundly and couldn't bear to wake her.
Shi Zhan parked his car behind him and waited.
He could see that Wu Youyou was asleep.
When Wu Youyou woke up, she saw Tang Chuxuan staring at her, his fox-like eyes seeming to be smiling but not smiling.
Wu Youyou felt uneasy under their gaze.
How long have you been staring at me like that?
Tang Chuxuan smiled slightly.
"Not long, only half an hour!"
Wu Youyou blushed instantly, feeling very embarrassed. She quickly thanked him and got out of the car.
Tang Chuxuan saw Shi Zhan's murderous expression in the rearview mirror and burst into laughter.
"Fun, so fun! Let's go!"
The driver stepped on the gas, and the car sped away.
When Wu Youyou stepped into the school gate, she knew that Shi Zhan was following behind her, keeping a certain distance from her.
Wu Youyou did not turn around, nor did she wait for him.
She stopped in her tracks when she reached the girls' teaching building.
She sensed that Shi Zhan behind her had also stopped and was not walking towards her.
Wu Youyou felt aggrieved; she had finally given way a step, yet he wouldn't come any closer.
"I'm so angry! I wish you would tell me that your engagement to Wei Ziyao was fake, but you don't even have the courage to say it. Why should I humiliate myself?"
Wu Youyou stomped her foot and quickly returned to her dormitory.
Shi Zhan wanted to step forward and explain things to her properly, but he couldn't. He could only watch helplessly as she misunderstood him.
"Youyou, we agreed on five years, are you still willing to wait for me?"
