Ye Que somehow inexplicably lost his temper and went upstairs as if to call Tang Wanjun, but he stopped at Chi Zaozao's bedroom door, where he overheard a warm and touching conversation.
"My dear Little Princess, come, open your mouth!"
Chi Zaozao opened her mouth to eat the dish that Tang Wanjun had offered, and while chewing, she said, "Teacher Tang, I find your teaching method easier to understand than Wanyuan's. How about you come to my house every day from now on and tutor me until the college entrance exam?"
"As long as you find my teaching method easy to understand, then sure, I'll come every day to tutor you."
"Really? Won't that be a lot of trouble for you?"
The man's warm palm tenderly caressed the girl's forehead, his eyes filled with tenderness, "How could it be trouble? To serve the Little Princess is a blessing I must have earned in my past life."
"Hehe, you really know how to talk. How about this: if I get into a key university, I'll grant you one request, as long as it doesn't go against loyalty or morals!"
Tang Wanjun seemed exceptionally excited, "Do you mean it?"
Chi Zaozao thought, if what Ye Que said to her in the car that day was true, then her commitment to Tang Wanjun was also true.
Ye Que was the kind of person who meant what he said and she supposed he wouldn't break his word either!
So, looking into Tang Wanjun's expectant eyes, she nodded, "Of course it's true, but on the condition that you must get me into a key university."
Tang Wanjun was full of confidence, "Not just a key university, not even Tsing Hua and Peking Universities are out of reach. Zaozao, you're actually very smart; you just don't focus, and your mind is always cluttered with random thoughts. That's why you've been lagging behind your classmates. Starting tomorrow, I'll pick you up from school every day, and after school, I'll take you somewhere else to review. I guarantee that you'll get into a key university."
As long as she could get into a key university, Chi Zaozao was willing to do anything. She quickly took the bowl from Tang Wanjun's hand and started to gobble up her food.
She didn't want to waste any more time; she needed to eat quickly and get back to studying.
"Good, then it's settled. You'll pick me up every day after school."
"Mhm!"
Watching her eat, he gently laid his broad hand on her head, stroking it as if she were a little dog.
Suddenly, someone pushed the door open.
Both of them looked up.
Seeing it was Ye Que, Chi Zaozao's face instantly turned pale.
Tang Wanjun still politely greeted, "Brother!"
"You, come out! I need to talk to you," Ye Que said, his gaze coldly sweeping past Chi Zaozao.
Tang Wanjun nodded, stood up, and stroked Chi Zaozao's head, reminding her, "Eat slowly. Once you're full, practice the two problems I just assigned you."
Chi Zaozao nodded, watching Tang Wanjun leave.
No, to be precise, it was Ye Que's cold figure that she watched depart.
Chi Zaozao didn't understand why Ye Que was always so cold to her. Could it be because she was to become his wife in the future?
Was he so cold to her because he didn't like her and didn't want her to become his wife?
Chi Zaozao put down her chopsticks, aggravated, and ruffled her hair.
No, if he really didn't like her, he wouldn't have said that if she got into university, she could be with him.
She sighed. It was best not to overthink; she should just focus on reviewing.
Ye Que's study!
The two sat down face to face, the atmosphere strangely eerie.
With a cold expression, Ye Que kept silent, prompting Tang Wanjun to ask, "Brother, what did you want to talk about?"
