Shu Kaiqi is not the heir of the Shu Family, but the Shu Family has always hoped he could return to help his brother manage the family business.

Standing on the balcony, looking out at the myriad of lights, Shu Kaiqi thought about the call he just received from the school, and smiled softly.

The more Bai Chenyao acts like this, the more it shows he doesn’t trust Tian Tian. As long as it’s like this, he still has a chance.

Thinking of this, a bit of gloom in Shu Kaiqi’s heart disappeared without a trace. He glanced at the half-spent cigarette in his hand and frowned slightly.

Tian Tian doesn’t like boys who smoke; she thinks the smell is strong.

So unless he has to take a cigarette in social situations, he almost never smokes when he’s alone.

But today...

It’s obviously because Bai Chenyao deliberately made him stay away from Mu Tiantian, he was dissatisfied, yet he knew he couldn’t confront Bai Chenyao for now.

But the Shen Family and the Mu Family have already started cooperating, and while the Bai Family and the Shen Family seem harmonious on the surface, they had been fighting fiercely in private even before the Shen Family and Mu Family started to cooperate.

No matter how much Bai Chenyao wants to keep Tian Tian by his side every day, that depends on Tian Tian’s willingness.

Clearly, Tian Tian is unwilling; otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to teach at Administrative University.

This alone is enough!

As long as there’s a chance, there’s hope!

And opportunities always favor those who are prepared!

Shu Kaiqi turned and went into the study, glanced at the various school-related documents on the desk, smiled with a curl of his lips, raised his hand to gather all the documents, and bent down to place them in the farthest corner of the bookshelf.

The next day when Mu Tiantian arrived at school, she was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open.

But there was no way around it; her class was the first one in the morning at 8 o’clock. From Golden Bay Villa to here, it took at least an hour, and with breakfast to consider, she groggily got up at six and stayed in a daze. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

As for the reason...

Of course, it was because Bai Chenyao had done it a few too many times last night; she couldn’t take it at all, but Bai Chenyao wouldn’t listen to anything, just holding her tight and pounding away.

Her cheeks flushed red as Mu Tiantian suddenly widened her eyes.

Looking at the school’s gate not far ahead, she wearily reached out to rub her cheeks.

"Tian Tian?"

Mu Tiantian looked dazedly over and saw Shu Kaiqi in a suit standing by the car, seemingly about to get in.

"Teacher Shu?"

Seeing Mu Tiantian deliberately keeping her distance, Shu Kaiqi’s heart felt sour, but his expression remained unchanged, still looking gently and smiling at her.

"You shouldn’t call me Teacher Shu anymore, because I resigned today!"

Mu Tiantian’s sleepiness instantly faded a lot, and she looked at Shu Kaiqi in surprise, her bright, grape-like eyes staring at him.

"Why the sudden resignation?"

If she remembered correctly, Shu Kaiqi had mentioned during their childhood playtime that teaching and educating people was his dream.

Though their first meeting after ten years wasn’t very pleasant, it didn’t mean she forgot everything.

"Haven’t you always wanted to be a teacher?"

Shu Kaiqi’s originally sour heart brightened instantly upon hearing Mu Tiantian’s words, his somewhat dim pupils suddenly lit up, as if injected with endless energy, suddenly becoming dazzlingly brilliant.

"You still remember?"

Mu Tiantian: "..."

Alright, maybe she shouldn’t have said that.

Mu Tiantian awkwardly smiled, rubbed her slightly disheveled hair, and glanced down at her watch.

"It’s getting late, I should head in, bye-bye!"
