With a casual rub of his daughter’s head, Han Bin’s eyes were filled with satisfaction: "Daddy believes in our Qianqian."

Little did he know, Han Qian’s current words and emotions were just to reassure him, so he wouldn’t be pushed by her to the bad woman she hated, namely Feng Lu.

Li Guochao and Wang Tao, some classmates, were stunned when they saw Han Bin and his daughter pass by, and after Han Bin and his daughter were half a kilometer away, Li Guochao whispered to Wang Tao: "Is that Han Qian’s dad?"

"Didn’t you hear Han Qian call him dad?"

Wang Tao rolled his eyes and continued: "Actually, back in elementary school, Han Qian mentioned in our class that Luo Minghan looked a lot like her dad when he was young. Later, she even showed us photos of her dad from back then, but I think it’s nothing. There are many people in the world who look alike, don’t you think?"

"But Luo Minghan really does look like her dad!"

One male classmate muttered.

"Wu Song, what exactly are you trying to say?" Wang Tao frowned: "We’re all classmates, and if you start making baseless guesses and spread rumors, how will you face Luo Minghan later?"

The classmate, referred to as Wu Song, gave an embarrassed smile: "I’m not trying to say anything, I just find it quite fascinating that two unrelated people look so similar."

"I hope that’s truly what you feel, otherwise, when Luo Minghan finds out you’re talking about his looks behind his back, he’ll definitely confront you!" Wang Tao warned Wu Song: "Luo Minghan’s parents are impressive. His mom is even a national top athlete, and last year she won several gold medals at international competitions with the national team. Her fame is enormous!"

"I just said one sentence, is it necessary to scare me like this?"

Wu Song understood Wang Tao’s meaning; although they were only thirteen or fourteen years old now, their family conditions were good, so they knew that having fame meant knowing many people, including important figures. Moreover, Luo Minghan’s mom really was formidable, so he wouldn’t find trouble with Luo Minghan for no reason.

Furthermore, he had no conflicts with anyone, the words he just said were merely casual murmurings without other intentions.

Including Li Guochao, the other male classmates remained silent, none chiming in.

"Are you going home or heading to the classroom?"

Seeing no one responding, Wang Tao asked a question.

"I’m going home."

"I’m going home too."

"You guys go ahead, I’m taking a stroll around the classroom."

"Wait for me, I’ll go with you to the classroom."

Upon hearing some classmates say they were going home and others heading to the classroom, Wang Tao chose to go home. He walked beside Li Guochao and Wu Song, the three of them linked arms and chatted casually as they headed to the bike shed.

"See you."

At the school gate, Wang Tao got on his bicycle, waved at Li Guochao and Wu Song, and then cycled away.

Actually, this middle school is just five bus stops away from the institute’s compound, not too far, and there are several buses passing from the compound to the middle school, making traveling by bus quite convenient.

But for those with bicycles at home, who know how to ride, many choose to cycle to school.

However, for the safety of the Min Rui siblings, Kang Li didn’t agree with cycling to school, thus, ever since the Min Rui trio started middle school, they’ve consistently taken the bus to and from school and the compound.

Back on track, after Wang Tao parted ways with Li Guochao and Wu Song, he cycled a short distance and couldn’t help but recall Wu Song saying Ming Han resembled Han Qian’s dad.

In fact, he was also pondering this, especially after his mom mentioned the "resurrection" of Professor Luo’s ex-wife not long ago, Wang Tao inexplicably felt there was something behind it, and at that moment, he couldn’t resist a thought, Could they be...

Stop it, Wang Tao quickly halted his thoughts, feeling annoyed and self-despising. Just moments ago, he was righteously pointing out Wu Song’s mistakes at school, yet here he was, indulging in such thoughts himself?

To clarify, Wang Tao’s "they" undoubtedly referred to Ming Han and Han Bin.

As for his "Could they be..." that he abruptly ceased, the unfinished thought is not difficult to guess.

...

After registering Min Rui, Kang Li’s family of four made their way to Shuimu University.

"Mom, Ming Han and I will stay here to clean up. We won’t be tagging along with you and Dad."

The small two-story building previously assigned to Luo Yanqing by the school remained intact, and the school regularly sent someone to clean it every now and then to prevent property fees from accruing. Therefore, what Kang Li and Luo Yanqing saw now was just like when they first moved in years ago.
