Gu Zhiyun repeated clearly, "I choose to stay at the university as a teacher and will not go to the Aerospace Institute."
Tang Xiaoran looked at Gu Zhiyun in disbelief and shook her head repeatedly.
"Xiao Gu, are you drunk and talking nonsense? Which student in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics doesn't dream of working at the National Space Administration? There's no future in being a university teacher; the only way is to get into the National Space Administration..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Zhiyun interrupted her, saying, "I don't think being a university teacher has no future. My grandfather was a university teacher, my mother was a university teacher, and my mentor, Professor Tang, was also a university teacher. They are all my role models."
Although he disliked Tang Xiaoran, out of respect for her status, he would never interrupt her so abruptly.
Now that things were out in the open, he didn't want to listen to Tang Xiaoran nagging in his ear anymore.
He's really annoying.
After saying that, he tried to go back to the private room, but Tang Xiaoran grabbed his arm.
Gu Zhiyun almost instinctively shook off her hand and shouted angrily, "Don't touch me!"
Tang Xiaoran was startled by his roar.
At this moment, Gu Zhiyun's eyes flashed with barely concealed anger and deep disgust.
That look stung Tang Xiaoran.
She took a deep breath and forced a calm tone to speak:
"Xiao Gu, I don't believe you would easily give up the job opportunity at the Aerospace Academy. Tell me honestly, is there some unspeakable reason? Is it because Shen Jingyan is afraid you'll have too much contact with me that she's preventing you from entering the Aerospace Academy? She's short-sighted! A frog in a well! If you blindly listen to her, you'll ruin your future!"
When facing Tang Xiaoran, Gu Zhiyun no longer had that respectful and cautious attitude.
His eyes were as cold as icebergs, and his sharp gaze was like a sword.
"Tang Xiaoran, please stop slandering my wife immediately."
"Xiao Gu, you..." Tang Xiaoran was shocked and couldn't speak fluently.
“You have no right to point fingers at my wife. Our love is stronger than gold and unwavering. You can’t sow discord with just a few words.”
Gu Zhi's words grew increasingly harsh, almost to the point of breaking off relations with Tang Xiaoran. "You always use your titles of teacher and leader to disrupt our lives, and I've had enough! It's all in vain for you. My love for my wife will never change under any circumstances. I advise you to give up on this idea!"
Standing in a corner not far away, Shen Jingyan felt a warm current surge in her chest upon hearing these words.
"Xiao Gu, calm down. Listen to me. I'm doing this for your own good. You can't give up such a bright future, you..."
"Please save your kindness for someone else; I don't need it."
Gu Zhiyun interrupted her again.
“You’re not sober right now. Go home, get some sleep, and we’ll discuss this when you’re sober.”

Tang Xiaoran tried to save face.
"If you dare to call my house again, I'll report you for harassment."
"You..." Tang Xiaoran couldn't believe that such harsh words could come from the mouth of the gentle and refined Gu Zhiyun.
Looking at Gu Zhiyun's disgusted eyes, she found it hard to accept that she meant nothing to Gu Zhiyun!
She dared not say anything more, afraid of angering Gu Zhiyun and having him say even harsher things to hurt her.
She slowly took a few steps back and returned to the private room, looking disheveled.
Gu Zhiyun stood there for a while, looking a little helpless.
He sighed deeply, lowered his head, and walked back.
"Brother Yun." Shen Jingyan walked out from the corner and called out softly.
Gu Zhiyun immediately walked over and hugged Shen Jingyan.

He smelled strongly of alcohol, but Shen Jingyan didn't mind at all.
Gu Zhiyun rested his chin on Shen Jingyan's neck, his tone tinged with grievance: "Wife."
"Yes, I'm here," Shen Jingyan replied gently.
Only she could understand how lost Gu Zhiyun was right now.
Telling Tang Xiaoran that he was giving up his job at the aerospace institute meant that he was really saying goodbye to his dream.
Shen Jingyan clearly remembered how firm and persistent Gu Zhiyun was in his ideals.
When he talks about the aerospace institute, research projects, and his plans for research directions, his deep eyes light up.
But for her, for Rui Rui, for his family, he chose to give up his dream.
Although he doesn't regret his decision, it's impossible for him not to feel sad and disappointed.
"Wife, let's go home." Gu Zhiyun kissed Shen Jingyan's cheek.

This statement even sounds a bit like a coquettish remark.
"Okay, everyone has almost finished eating. Let's go inside, see the guests off, and then go home."
Shen Jingyan pulled him towards the private room.
"No, we're going home now."
Perhaps it was the alcohol really taking effect, because Gu Zhiyun actually started to whine, "Wife, I don't want to see anyone, I just want to be with you."
He held Shen Jingyan tightly, and brazenly cupped her face and kissed her lips.
Shen Jingyan could only coax, "Okay, okay, we'll go home right away. When you go in, don't say anything, just pretend you're drunk. I'll see you out, okay?"
"Oh no, let's ignore them and leave now. I want to take good care of you."
