“Uncle Wang, why did you park so close to the school today?” An Wen asked as she opened the car door. Suddenly, she noticed that another person was already sitting inside. It was Chu Qichen.

The older man’s hair was parted and slicked back to expose his forehead. He had a fashionable and elegant gentleman’s hairstyle, and wore a neat tie with a black, formal suit over a white shirt with the buttons done all the way to the top. Chu Qichen crossed one of his slender legs over the other. It seemed like this was the only way for him to properly arrange his long legs inside this narrow car. He was spotless from head to toe, and his black, leather shoes seemed like they were recently washed. Not to mention, his face was pale and handsome. He had thin lips, a long and straight nose, and an angular face that seemed like it was finely carved by knives. It was not surprising that the Original Host had fallen head over heels for him as he had an irresistibly attractive face.

However, Chu Qichen’s bright eyes were too composed and his face had a naturally stern look. Whenever he gazed at someone else, the other party would feel as though his temper was about to flare up. He also made other people feel like they were beneath him.

“Mister Chu, why are you here?” An Wen asked.

“Get in.” Chu Qichen spoke softly, but his tone made it seem like he was giving a strict order.

An Wen obediently entered the car and closed the door.

The atmosphere inside the car was extremely stifling and quiet as the driver drove back to the villa. The driver usually loved to chat, but he was currently too afraid to say anything. An Wen sneakily cast a sidelong glance at him, who was sitting up straight in the car. He seemed extremely careful about everything.

She thought, ‘Mister Chu is a handsome young man with a promising future, but it feels like I’m sitting next to my father when I’m beside him. Strangely enough, I feel the need to respect him.’

Chu Qichen noticed that An Wen was secretly glancing at him when he looked in the rearview mirror. He was amused and curious about her actions. Suddenly, he spoke, “Have your injuries healed?”

“Yes, they’ve healed. They were only minor injuries anyway,” the girl replied.

“I heard that you were suspected of cheating in your exams.”

“Mister Chu, you’re well-informed and highly resourceful.” An Wen gave him a thumbs up. When she noticed that Chu Qichen was still expressionless, she continued, “I was too intelligent and answered the questions too quickly. The teachers were also shocked because my answers seemed to be too accurate. However, that doesn’t matter because I’m going to retake the exams tomorrow to prove my innocence.”

Chu Qichen was close friends with An Wen’s older brother. He had mentioned that she was incredibly smart, but the man had never expected that the teachers of Di City No. 1 High School would be shocked by her intelligence.
