Chapter 23 (2/2)

“Hanru, that shameless b*tch. It’s been two days since I last saw her. And I’m gonna rip out her mouth if she crosses paths with me again.”

Chunchun indignantly pushed Anhao, who was still standing beside her, aside. “Hey, what the hell are you still standing there for? Hurry up and change your clothes. The professor will arrive at 10:30am, and look at the time now. What’re you waiting for?”

Anhao could only partly absorb whatever Chunchun and Amao were saying. It was because they mentioned that the professor was someone from the Yishi Group.

“Anhao?”

“Huh?” Anhao was abruptly knocked back to her senses.

“Just hurry up and change your clothes. We’re leaving.”

“… Oh.”

As they were going to be late, Anhao had no choice but to pull the school uniform Chunchun gave her over her dress before heading straight toward the lecture hall.

The moment she took her seat, her cell phone rang, which turned out to be from the principal himself.

“Anhao, did you come to school today? Please come to the principal’s office.”

This surprised Anhao as she did not expect the principal to say ‘please’.

Coincidentally, she planned to go to the principal’s office. But by the time she stepped out of the lecture hall, she then suddenly saw a familiar figure coming out of a doorway not far from her.

Anhao became abruptly stiff the moment that man raised his eyes. Then, she hid behind the emergency exit door next to her in a flash.

By peeking at that slender figure through the slightly narrow door gap, all her memories from years ago swiftly flooded back.

Many years had gone by. That man was still as towering and tall as she remembered. He had a wide figure which made people have an extreme peace of mind, while his calm and peaceful movements made him look warm and friendly.

The young man, who was holding a speech draft while strolling along the hallway, obviously had a particularly handsome complexion with just a glimpse from the side.

He was the one who Anhao once placed her whole belief in, and he was her life’s purpose; the one who once guided her in her life.

Anhao did not expect A High School to invite Yi Zeyang, who had returned to China a while ago, as a guest professor.

And more to the point, Yi Zeyang got engaged after his return. Evidently, the Yi family planned to stay in A City for a while in order to expand their business.

‘He should be busy with Yishi Group’s business, not to mention taking the time to accompany his fiancée. What’s he doing here anyway?’

She saw that the man was walking toward the lecture hall. Beside the hall, a few teachers and the president were talking to him.

Yi Zeyang gently nodded while listening to them, seemingly friendly and approachable. He was very attentive to whatever the school president was saying. Even when that man had finally vanished from the hall’s entrance, Anhao remained frozen for a long time, clearly dazed and lost in her thoughts.

“Gu Anhao, what’re you doing here?”

Just then, a voice came from behind Anhao, startling her and causing her to abruptly turn around.

The President of Academic Affairs was having a quick smoke below the stairs of the emergency exit. After which, he reached the top of the stairs just in time to see Gu Anhao bending over and looking out the door like a thief.

Anhao got startled the moment she saw the President of Academic Affairs. Then, after smelling the cigarette smoke on the old man’s body, she smiled cheekily. “Mr. President, what’re you doing just now?”

Seeing that this girl was obviously trying to make things difficult for him, the President of Academic Affairs glared at her. “The principal’s looking for you. What’re you waiting for?”
