Every time it’s only 1000 or 2000, Su Yuntang is even more generous than him!
Huo Jingshen acted like he would take the money back, Su Wanwan panicked, without a shred of dignity ran over, “I want it, I want it.”
Even a mosquito’s leg is meat.
She snatched the money back, but Huo Jingshen arrogantly began, “If your husband gives you money to spend, shouldn’t you do something in return?” Su Wanwan glared at him, “Isn’t it natural for a husband to give his wife money?”
Besides, it’s not a big deal.
Huo Jingshen squinted, then looked at her leisurely, pointing to his lips, “One kiss, extra 1000.”
Who would have known, Su Wanwan looks insulted, “I cannot be corrupted by wealth!”
Huo Jingshen:acting quite noble now, are we?
The next second.
“Unless you give me 10,000!” Su Wanwan shot for the stars.
Oh, the taste of money was rather sweet.
Huo Jingshen once again:”…”
Su Wanwan saw his stingy expression, concluded he wouldn’t agree and was about to leave when suddenly her hand was pulled back.
When sudden footsteps echoed outside, she got frightened and hurriedly tried to push him away, “Someone’s coming…”
Her hands were grabbed and moved behind her back, and she was soon held in a different position.
Su Wanwan was incredibly nervous, until the sound of footsteps came closer, the arms that were tightly wrapped around her suddenly loosened.
His slender fingers pinched her chin, Huo Jingshen’s expression was incredibly calm, “Old enough to be an adult, yet making a five-year-old kid wait? Such a good girl, go up and get your school bag for school.”
Su Wanwan:”…”
She was utterly overwhelmed by his ability to suddenly act dead serious.
And also…
What schoolbag? I’m a university student!
Su Wanwan complained heartily, but Aunt Liu had already walked into the dining room, seemed not to notice anything unusual, calmly tidying up the dishes on the table.
Her face flushed, she could only lower her head and quickly scampered off.

Whether Fu Qi liked it or not, he eventually had to get into Ji Jie’s car and head to the airport.
Perhaps because the troublesome person finally left, Su Wanwan’s mood suddenly lifted.
Huo Jingshen drove Fu Ziyang to school first.
The Wellington School the little lad’s at is the most prestigious institution in Nancheng, reached there, Su Wanwan noticed many children’s parents personally drop them off at the gate. When Huo Jingshen got out of the car, she immediately followed.
“Uncle Huo, Aunt Wanwan, goodbye.” Dressed in the school uniform, Fu Ziyang waved at them.
You have to admit, the lad is incredibly handsome.
Though only five, his features were perfectly crafted, better looking than many child stars on the screen, plus that calm demeanor, he has a mature temperament at such a young age. A striking contrast to the playful kids around him.
“Fu Ziyang, Fu Ziyang!”
A chubby little girl suddenly lunged over, “Fu Ziyang, are these your parents?”
Fu Ziyang gave her a brief look, “No.”
Having said that, he turned around and headed towards the campus.
“Fu Ziyang, Fu Ziyang wait for me!”
The chubby little girl quickly chased after him.
Su Wanwan was taken aback.
Wow, being this cold to the girls at just five?
Unbelievable.
“Get in the car.”
“Oh.”
Su Wanwan quickly turned around.
Once in the car, as she buckled in her seatbelt, she said, “The curriculum here is different from home, for which I need to attend audited classes for freshmen and sophomores this semester.”
“Okay.” Huo Jingshen answered and started driving.
Su Wanwan sneaked a glance at him. He was focused on the road ahead, one hand on the wheel, his profile conveying a cold and deep persona, his emotions inscrutable.
She coughed discreetly and formally proposed, “Which is why, I’m considering living in the dorm, to catch up on the previously missed lectures.”
Having not expected Huo Jingshen to agree instantly, she was planning to justify further…
“Okay.”
Su Wanwan’s eyes widened.
Holy crap!
He actually agreed without hesitation?
This is unusually suspicious!
Huo Jingshen added, “Once Ji Jie is back from dropping off Fu Qi, I will have
him move your things to South University.”
Not only did he agree to let her live in the dormitory, but he was also willing to help her move?
Could he be…
Su Wanwan’s mind was aflutter…
From shock!
She cautiously asked, “Why are you suddenly being so nice to me?”
Just as the traffic light turned red, Huo Jingshen stopped the car and turned to look at her.
With a slight curve of his lips, a gentle lift of his eyebrows, and sparkling eyes that were flirty, his voice was soft and teasing, “You’re my wife, and it’s only right for a husband to be nice to his wife.”
However, Su Wanwan felt no stir of excitement, but instead, deep inside her, a sense of unease grew.
Perhaps last night’s encounter in the car was too stimulating. Now, even seeing
him smile gave her the creeps…awkward.

Upon reaching the school and letting Su Wanwan off, Huo Jingshen drove away.
Su Wanwan went straight to her dorm.
As it was still early, the other three girls in the dorm were preparing for their classes.
Upon seeing Su Wanwan, Lin Qiao was the first to speak, albeit with a sharp tone, “Su Wanwan, could you let us know in advance if you’re not coming back to sleep?”
“What’s wrong?”
The dormitory manager checks the rooms every night. We know you like to stay out all night, probably messing around, but not saying a word about it every time is really poor manners, isn’t it?” Lin Qiao said impatiently.
Clearly, she had many complaints about Su Wanwan.
The other two girls cast her a few extra glances upon hearing these words.
Their looks seemed to say: Wow, she loves to stay out all night, she must be fooling around with some guy!
Su Wanwan raised her eyebrow, “Alright, I got it.”
Today was her first day at boarding school, she didn’t want to start unnecessary conflicts with these girls, especially since class was about to begin.
As for Lin Qiao, her expression instantly turned into one of surprise.
Back in high school, if she had said something like that, Su Wanwan would have started a fight, but now…
She didn’t even retort?
Like punching into cotton, Lin Qiao felt frustrated but could do nothing about it.
She grabbed her textbooks, “I’m off to class.”
“Let’s go together.” The other two girls quickly followed.
Su Wanwan went to her desk and checked her classes for the day.
As a third-year student, her classes were less intense. Most of the previous semester was filled with compulsory and workshop-based classes. She had only two English classes this morning, from nine-thirty till eleven-thirty. Su Wanwan quickly prepared her class materials and quickly left the dorm.
Not being familiar with the school layout, she wasted ten minutes looking for the lecture building. When she finally found the classroom, the bell for the start of class rang.
She rushed towards it, nearly colliding with a male student exiting the classroom.
“Sorry, didn’t hit you, did I?”
The boy’s voice was rather pleasant, clear, crisp, and filled with the youthful energy that was unique to boys his age.
“It’s fine.” Su Wanwan didn’t even look at him and quickly entered the classroom.
The male student looked as if he had lost his soul. He stood still for a few seconds before turning away and leaving.
10 minutes later, a serious and conservative female professor walked into the classroom, followed by that male student.
“Jiang Shuhao, can you help me distribute the printed materials to everyone?”
Jiang Shuhao?
Isn’t that…?
Su Wanwan then took a good look at him.
He was wearing a white polo shirt paired with light grey casual pants. He was about 1.8 meters tall, slender, with fair skin, and striking features.
He was the epitome of a university heartthrob, no wonder Lin Qiao was so intent on being hostile towards her.
The materials were passed forward. Su Wanwan, who was seated in the last row, received the materials handed back by the student in front of her just when the teacher started speaking.
“Today is the first English lesson in your third year, and I hope you all strive hard. We aim to get our certificates by the end of this semester. Now, let’s start with the roll call. Zhou Guohua.”
“Present.”
“Wang Liya.”
“Present.”
“Liu Pingping.”
“Present.”
Last one.
“Su Wanwan.”
“Present.”
The female professor lifted her head to look at Su Wanwan, who was sitting in the last row.
Everyone’s gaze in the classroom directed towards the rear.
Suddenly, one of the boys asked, “Isn’t this the new girl in our class?”
“Wow, she’s a beauty!” someone echoed.
Then followed.
“She’s so pretty!”
“Is she a celebrity?”
“Looks like we’re going to have a new class flower.”
“I think she can even take on the university’s beauty queen!”
Hearing this astonished chatter, Lin Qiao’s face went flush with indignation.
Was Su Wanwan going to steal her spotlight on the very first day?
It’s just a class, yet she’s wearing such an exquisite dress, with her lips painted red. She’s dressed like a fox spirit, talk about being high-profile!
Filled with resentment, she looked away, only to find her boyfriend, who was sitting beside her, looking at Su Wanwan with a smile….
