"I..." Chi Zaozao buried her head and clasped her fingers tightly, looking somewhat nervous, "I... heard Mommy say that I will become your wife in the future, so..."
"That's enough."
Before she could finish speaking, he sharply interrupted, "Chi Zaozao, you're in your senior year, about to face the college entrance exams, and your mind still has room for this? Focus on your studies."
Having said that, Ye Que got into the car and started the engine...
Seeing that he was about to leave, Chi Zaozao quickly ran over, "Aren't you going to take me to school?"
"I'm busy, Uncle Wang will take you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he and the luxury sedan disappeared from Chi Zaozao's sight in the blink of an eye.
His attitude was so cold, so cold that even after he had vanished, she was still shivering.
It seemed that her mommy's wish for her to become a daughter-in-law was just wishful thinking; Ye Que had never really taken notice of her.
Ningdu Aristocrat High School
The teacher was lecturing passionately at the podium, but Chi Zaozao was bent over a pile of books, drawing Ye Que's likeness.
Perhaps she was too absorbed in her work, her mind filled only with images of Ye Que, that she didn't even notice when the teacher approached her, and she kept delicately sculpting Ye Que's noble nose.
"Chi Zaozao, what are you doing?"
With a harsh reprimand, before Chi Zaozao could react, the teacher snatched away the drawing.
She was startled, her heart sinking, this was it.
After examining her masterpiece, the teacher became so angry he blew his top, "The college entrance exam is just around the corner, and you still have the mind to draw this?"
Fuming, the teacher took the drawing to the lectern and yelled sternly, "After school this afternoon, call your parents over, and besides, rewrite all the mock test papers from this and the last period twice."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Chi Zaozao's legs went weak with shock.
Call her parents? Would she dare to ask her daddy and mommy to come to the school? Certainly not, so what should she do?
...
In the afternoon, as her classmates left one by one for home, only Chi Zaozao remained, called into the office by the teacher, who insisted she summon her parents before allowing her to leave.
Having no other choice, she had to call Ye Que.
Ye Que usually finished work at six, but because of Chi Zaozao, he left an hour early.
When he saw Chi Zaozao in the office, he had a stern face, a cold look as though he was about to devour her.
Chi Zaozao pretended to ignore him, just like he was doing.
The female teacher in her thirties, upon seeing the imposing and handsome Ye Que, quickly stood up to greet him, "May I ask if you are..."
"Chi Zaozao's guardian." Ye Que was efficient and decisive, getting straight to the point, "What's the problem?"
Hearing that he was Chi Zaozao's guardian, the teacher couldn't help but speculate silently, was this Chi Zaozao's father?
Her father so young? Impossible.
So, he might be Chi Zaozao's brother.
"It's like this!" With an air of teaching and respecting authority, the teacher handed over the drawing Chi Zaozao made to Ye Que, "Look, as the college entrance exam approaches, all students are studying hard, but your Chi Zaozao still found time to draw on her desk during class, and, hey, doesn't the person in this drawing look a lot like you?"
The teacher wanted to compare the drawing, yet it was swiftly tucked away by Ye Que, who then apologized, "She is young and doesn't understand what the college entrance exam means. I will definitely teach her once we're home, my apologies, teacher."
The female teacher had never seen such a breathtakingly beautiful man; moreover, he was extremely polite, although he seemed a bit aloof, which she guessed was just his personality.
In an era where young, fresh faces ruled, not even grandmothers could resist drooling over them, so how could she not hold onto the allure of this man's beauty?
Therefore, with the handsome man before her, the teacher had to relent!
In flattery, she said, "Actually, Chi Zaozao usually studies hard. You should have a good talk with her when you get home, and it won't be a big deal."
