Xuxu immediately agreed .
After lunch, Mu Li sent Xuxu to her work studio . She alighted at the alley and walked to the studio .
The door was ajar and Xuxu could hear the sewing machine . She hastened her footsteps towards the sound in excitement .
“Tailor Wang, I’m here . ”
“Sister Xuxu . ”
Li Qian was walking down the stairs .
Xuxu grunted in response and continued walking .
“Xuxu . ”
Suddenly, a familiar voice belonging to a man sounded . He hurried footsteps followed soon after .
Xuxu stopped in her tracks and glanced at the staircase .
“Zhao Zheng?”
‘Why is he here?’
Zhao Zheng was clad in a white shirt paired with black pants . He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles, and his footsteps sounded eager .
“Sister Xuxu, Professor Zhao is here to look for you,” informed Li Qian as she reached Xuxu .
A streak of annoyance flashed across Xuxu’s eyes . “Why didn’t you inform me in advance that there was a guest waiting for me?”
Zhao Zheng interjected instead, and he chuckled . “I didn’t get her to call you . I was just passing by and decided to visit you . If you weren’t around, I would have left . ”
He adjusted his spectacles as he finished speaking .
Xuxu remembered this habit of his when she first knew him . He would always adjust his spectacles .
He gave off the impression he was an intellectual and a refined man .
Xuxu grunted and glanced at Zhao Zheng . She had no idea how she should respond .
He had given her a real shock by appearing .
She felt he purposely came over . After all, how could he just be just passing by?
Zhao Zheng stopped in front of Xuxu and smiled . “Xuxu, how are you these days?” asked Zhao Zheng with a concerned tone .
Xuxu nodded . “I’m fine . ”
“This…” Zhao Zheng glanced at Xuxu’s protruding belly and there was a look of fleeting disappointment on his face . “Are you giving birth soon?”
“No, not so soon . ” Xuxu noticed his expression and she deliberately smiled a blissful smile . She stroked her belly . “I’m having twins, hence my belly looks huge . ”
“Oh . ” Zhao Zheng nodded, and he couldn’t conceal his disappointed expression . “Your children will definitely be as smart as you . ”
Xuxu quipped . “They should look more like their father . Everyone says that the father is good-looking, so it’s better if they look like him . ”
Zhao Zheng shook his head . “No, you are more beautiful . ”
“Haha . ” Xuxu smiled . Zhao Zheng had always looked down on Yan Rusheng and the rest of his friends . He thought, other than their wealth and background, they had no other strengths . He thought more highly of himself .
When they were still in high school, she had already noticed this . But his thinking had intensified after the previous meet-ups .
Yes! Xuxu felt that Zhao Zheng was too against them .
Even if they irked her as well, she had to consider that they were ex-classmates and on account of Teacher Zhao, too .
Xuxu pointed at the reception area and said, “Let’s chat over there . ”
“Sure . ” Zhao Zheng nodded and walked with her . “I was surprised to find out that Li Qian was working with you during the graduation gathering . What a coincidence . ”
