Zhao Zheng had gotten a private room, and it was just enough for four to five people .

Zhao Zheng entered the room with a smile on his face . He looked at everyone, but his gaze lingered on Su Yue . His gaze softened immediately . “Little Lass . ”
Su Yue sized him up with a cold gaze, feeling a little confused .
Xuxu thought Su Yue didn’t remember Zhao Zheng, so she introduced him with a smile . “Yueyue, this is Professor Zhao . You’ve met him before . ”
“Oh, Professor Zhao,” Su Yue called plainly and lazily before she found a seat and sat down . She then suddenly lifted her head to look at Zhao Zheng . “Professor Zhao, Bai Jing wants to attend your school . ”
“Oh!” Zhao Zheng froze . “Who’s Bai Jing?”
She had chimed up so suddenly and without any context .
Not just Zhao Zheng, even Xuxu and Yan Rusheng were caught in shock .

It took a while for Xuxu to regain her senses . It shocked her that Bai Jing wanted to attend A University . She sat down beside Su Yue and asked her, “Bai Jing wants to go to A University?”
Su Yue nodded and then pulled a sigh . “But with her father’s condition, she doesn’t want to anymore . ”
Xuxu looked at Yan Rusheng and they had a silent conversation .
Yan Rusheng was expressionless . They initially thought Bai Jing would want to give up her education .
“Xuxu, who’s Bai Jing? Is she your relative?” Zhao Zheng eagerly asked her .
Xuxu replied plainly, “She’s a good friend of Su Yue’s . ”
Zhao Zheng nodded in understanding . “Then you should pass me her information, and I’ll look through it . I’ll try to reserve a slot for her . ”

After a brief pause, he continued, “But it still depends on her grades . ”
“That was of no help at all,” Yan Rusheng commented, rolling his eyes at Zhao Zheng and not giving him any face .
He stretched his arm and gracefully poured himself some plain water . Pride was written all over his face .
Xuxu didn’t know what to say .
Under the table, she stretched her arm and pinched Yan Rusheng’s thigh .
‘This fellow . Could he be more subtle?’
Yan Rusheng smiled unwaveringly .
Xuxu ignored Yan Rusheng and faced Zhao Zheng . “Aren’t we here for dinner? Have you ordered?”
She wanted to get this dinner over and done with . She had planned on refraining future meetings with Zhao Zheng ever again .
They had no reason to meet again, anyway .
“I haven’t ordered . I was waiting for you because I didn’t know what you like,” Zhao Zheng replied with a shake of his head . He passed the menu to Xuxu .
‘I was waiting for you . ’
Yan Rusheng felt uncomfortable when he heard those words . He swiftly extended his arm and grabbed the menu before Xuxu did .
He then crossed his legs gracefully and flipped through the menu . He casually commented, “Of course, outsiders wouldn’t know my wife’s taste . ”
He then turned to Xuxu and winked . “Am I right, darling?”
“Pfft!” Ming Ansheng was drinking a mouthful of water but spat it out when he heard Yan Rusheng said the word ‘darling’ . He almost choked .
He gave Yan Rusheng a look of contempt before hurriedly wiping his mouth .
‘This fellow is being utterly shameless!’
He disgusted others while enjoying himself . Two words: selfish!
Zhao Zheng’s expression was dark . He felt indignant every time he saw Yan Rusheng and Xuxu being affectionate .
He felt that Yan Rusheng wasn’t good enough for Xuxu . She was so gentle, intellectual, and kind . She deserved to be with someone worthy like himself—someone who wouldn’t put her favorable qualities to waste .
