Nangong Yao rushed home and saw Nangong Siqing sitting on her bed, her knees bent and her face buried in her palms. She had a helpless look on her face.
"Uncle!" Seeing Nangong Yao push open the door and enter, she immediately raised her head and called out to him.
"Aunt Chen has already told me about you. After reading for so many years, you should understand that this is a very normal thing." Nangong Yao stood at the door and did not step inside.
"I know, I was just scared. It"s good that uncle is back. I"m fine now. Please rest early uncle." Nangong Siqing revealed a smile and said in a considerate ma
er.
"Yes, I have something to ask of Aunt Chen." Nangong Yao did not say anything more and returned to his room.
He laid his head back on the bed and stared at the crystal lamp inlaid on the ceiling. The flickering light was like the blurry eyes of Mu Yun after she had drunk too much. It was incredibly mesmerizing.
Nangong Yao had just met someone he liked. His mood was really good. Tonight, he could have a good dream.
The next morning, Mu Yun drove to school as usual. As soon as she entered her office, she saw a box of steaming hot breakfast in it. She couldn"t help but sigh when she saw the breakfast.
Although Mu Yun had the t.i.tle of a cold beauty in school, there were still quite a number of men who pursued her. Currently, there were two very active men who were currently courting her, asking her for warmth, caring for her sooner or later. Mu Yun had already rejected them many times, but they acted as if they were competing.
"Teacher Mu, please eat my bowl. This is the newly opened restaurant for breakfast. The seafood porridge here is excellent. You can pay for it." After Mu Yun sat down, another young man walked over with a breakfast bag in his hand.
Mu Yun rejected indifferently, "There"s no need for that. I"ve already eaten breakfast. Thank you for your kind intentions."
The two men looked a little embarra.s.sed, but Mu Yun said that they wouldn"t eat it, so they could only take it away. However, in their hearts, they felt that Mu Yun was really too n.o.ble.
As Mu Yun tidied up her textbooks for today, she heard whispers from the side.
"You"re already at the third place, and yet you"re still so vigilant? Tsk, tsk, I"m really worried that she won"t be able to get married."
"That"s right. I"ve been in school for a few years and I"ve never even seen a man. It"s not good for women to be too arrogant."
Mu Yun already knew that she was a proud peac.o.c.k in their eyes, but she didn"t care. How she wanted to live was her own business, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.
When cla.s.s ended, Mu Yun pla
ed to go to the cafeteria for lunch. However, on the way, she was blocked by a man. It was the person who was pursuing her, Cheng Yuan.
Mu Yun didn"t take a detour the moment she saw him. She only frowned and asked, "Cheng Yuan, why are you in my way?"
"Mu Yun, I"ve confessed to you for half a year now, did you really not react at all? Or did you fall for Li Tang? His uncle has real power, and your brother can be considered as someone in power. And my sincerity, in your eyes, is worthless. " Cheng Yuan decided to explain the situation to her. If he could give her a reason to reject him, he might be able to give up.
Mu Yun"s expression changed a little and she became angry. "I have tactfully rejected you many times in the past six months, but you didn"t listen. I was teaching in the same school and I didn"t want to embarra.s.s you. I thought you would stop at that. But now, are you going to become even more serious?"
"You"re saying all this just to tell me that you like Li Tang, right? "Alright, I"ve finally recognized the reality. Being the right person is the most important thing. Who do I think I am?" Cheng Yuan immediately began to mock himself.
Before Mu Yun could say anything, she saw a person angrily ru
ing over from behind her. It was her other pursuer, Li Tang.
Both of them were young and vigorous, and now that they had met, their eyes were naturally red with envy.
Fortunately, this was the teacher"s pa.s.sageway, so no students came over. However, Mu Yun still wanted to walk away.
"Cheng Yuan, what are you trying to do?" When Li Tang rushed over, he immediately pointed at Li Tang"s face and yelled angrily.
"I just want Mu Yun to give me an answer. It"s none of your business." Cheng Yuan was also very angry.
Mu Yun stood in the middle of them, feeling incomparably humiliated. There were already so many rumors about her in the school, but she really didn"t want to fill in the blanks. Why did everyone want to find a sense of existence in her?
"Stop arguing, the two of you. I already have a boyfriend." It wasn"t that she wanted to offend anyone, but she understood that matters of the heart could not be dragged down. Before this, she had never coldly refused him, and all she did was to be treated as a colleague, and to keep her head up high. Now that they were going to argue about her, she could no longer care about her pride.
"What?" As expected, the two men didn"t have the mood to argue anymore. They looked at her with disbelief, "Mu Yun, you can"t be lying to us again, right? This reason of yours is nothing new."
"Yeah, last time you said you have a boyfriend, but your boyfriend didn"t show his face for half a year. If you don"t like us, then you can say it clearly, lying to us is meaningless."
Mu Yun"s face turned cold as she mocked, "Do you really think that my choice of mate can only be made between the two of you?"
The two men"s faces instantly flushed red.
"We all like you." Their reasons were also sufficient.
"Do I have no other suitors besides you? In this half a year, you"ve made the entire school aware of this, and my reputation has been almost ruined by you. I"ve not pursued this matter, what else do you want? I am a woman, but I am not easy to bully. You did not give up on your pursuit of me because the two of you want to fight for power. You want to fight for your face, not me. " Mu Yun exposed their intentions with a single blow, and their expressions turned even more unsightly.
"It"s fine if you guys want to fight today, but don"t take me as your excuse. In the future, don"t show me your sincerity anymore. It"s true that you guys like me, but it"s also true that I don"t like you guys." Mu Yun had truly offended her two male colleagues this time. After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.
But at this moment, she saw Nangong Yao standing not too far away.
When did he come?
Mu Yun was like a child who had made a mistake, wanting to run away with a guilty conscience.
Nangong Yao walked over to her with heavy steps. She had her back facing Nangong Yao just now, so she didn"t notice him. However, he was standing not far away, so he could clearly hear what she was saying.
