Chapter 126

The person behind her did it on purpose.

This was Yu Na's subconscious reaction.

Because the person behind her was debating whether to hug her or not,

and she caught a glimpse of the person's arm out of the corner of her eye - the familiar black shirt rolled up a bit, revealing muscular arms with protruding veins, and a bracelet around his wrist.

It was a gift she had bought for him before.

On the other wrist was an expensive watch, one that Xiao Chen often wore.

There were still many students standing outside the classroom, and Xiao Chen's arrival directly sparked a discussion.

Especially among the girls.

"Is that Qiao Rui's brother?"

"His brother is so handsome!"

"Not only handsome, but also super rich. Dating him would definitely be worthwhile."

"Qiao Rui often invites parents. I've never run into them before, what a pity."

"Let's egg Qiao Rui on to cause some more trouble later, feast our eyes a bit."

"Oh stop that, his brother is a big boss, very busy."

And at Qiao Rui's place -

"Qiao Rui your brother is here!"

"Qiao Rui, give me your brother's WeChat."

"Qiao Rui, is your brother married?"

"Qiao Rui..."

Leaning on the railing, Qiao Rui was annoyed by the clamor and glanced over coolly, "My brother isn't that easy to seduce!"

Xiao Chen had previously treated Yu Na's students to an expensive outdoor barbecue. For him, that money was nothing, but for students not yet financially independent, it was a feast, having treated so many students at once.

So in their eyes he had perfectly established his domineering CEO image.

Yu Na and Xiao Chen had kept their relationship very hidden, so the students didn't know their homeroom teacher was the girlfriend of this business tycoon.

Ignoring the admiring sighs, Xiao Chen stood behind Yu Na and deliberately whispered ambiguously, "Teacher Yu, sorry I'm late."

"...\" Those sighs naturally also fell on Yu Na's ears.

She didn't know how to face Xiao Chen for a moment, only smiled awkwardly, "That's alright." Then she called Qiao Rui over, "Qiao Rui, take your brother inside."

"You got it!" Qiao Rui walked over basking in the female students' gazes. Although the highlight wasn't because of him but rather his brother, he still strangely felt that he had a lot of face at this moment.

Even his tone of voice was different as he walked to Xiao Chen's side, "Bro."

Xiao Chen ignored him.

Qiao Rui said: "Follow me."

Qiao Rui led Xiao Chen into the classroom, again attracting attention.

Without Yu Na by his side, Xiao Chen didn't bother putting on any reaction at all, his expression very calm.

Only when Qiao Rui brought him to his seat did Xiao Chen's expression finally change...

"You..." He looked on helplessly, confirming repeatedly, "This is your seat?"

"Ah, yes." Qiao Rui didn't think anything was wrong. Instead he even proudly showed off to him, whispering, "This is the closest spot to Teacher Yu. Thanks to me, you get to see what your wife looks like when she's working. Pretty thoughtful of me right, buddy?"

"..."

He thought to himself, I want to see my wife in different ways. Do I need to rely on you, Mr. Troublemaker? You think too highly of yourself.

With parents and students attending this parent-teacher conference together, parents sat in the students' seats while students stood next to their parents.

The large classroom seemed exceptionally crowded for the first time.

Xiao Chen had no choice but to sit in this unique spot.

After all the parents and students were present, Yu Na was the last one to enter the classroom. She closed the classroom door behind her.

With one glance she saw Xiao Chen sitting disgruntled next to the podium.

She tried her best to ignore him, afraid her train of thought would be led astray by him throughout the meeting.

Yu Na stood at the podium, gazing at the parents below. She clapped to quiet them down, "Parents, to save everyone's time, I'll keep this brief."

Sitting at the podium table, Xiao Chen had to admit, from this angle watching his girlfriend was quite novel.

The first time she held a parent-teacher meeting, she was still relatively inexperienced and visibly nervous.

But this time, facing the parents she was perfectly at ease.

Yu Na mainly analyzed the current situation and state of the students in the class, then explained to parents the schedule for studying and holidays in this pivotal year three of high school.

To summarize in one sentence, class time increased substantially while holidays greatly decreased.

The students were disheartened to hear this while the parents expressed their support one after another.

Xiao Chen didn't hear a word she said, instead spending the whole time watching her serious demeanor at the moment, while recalling her spoiled side clinging to him for hugs and kisses. Truly like two different people.

Considering the parents still had work, the meeting didn't last too long.

After covering a few key points simply, Yu Na added, "In summary, I hope parents can cooperate more before graduation next June. As homeroom teacher I will also pay attention to students' studying and mental/physical state."

"If there's no other questions, parents may leave first."

Many parents surrounded Yu Na, continuously asking about their own children's circumstances. By 5pm, students went downstairs for track and field then the cafeteria for dinner before returning for evening self-study.

The classroom was left with only the parents.

Xiao Chen had specifically kept this time open, so he was in no hurry either. He sat at the podium table, eyes fixed attentively on his girlfriend patiently answering other parents' questions.

After all the parents left, only then did Xiao Chen slowly say, "Teacher Yu."

At this moment there were only two of them left in the classroom.

Yu Na instantly recalled the first time they held a parent-teacher meeting.

She didn't dare be brazen in the classroom, giving a composed mmm.

Xiao Chen deliberately asked even though he knew, "The parents have all left right?"

"Mm...yes, all left."

He unhurriedly stood up, "Then now, can I have your time?"

Yu Na tidied up as she prompted, pointing above to the classroom ceiling, "Should we go to the office then?"

"The office," Xiao Chen followed her direction, seeing the surveillance camera, he cleared his throat, "Right, we should go to the office."

...

Yu Na brought Xiao Chen to the office.

There were two colleagues in the office. They greeted each other.

Yu Na took Qiao Rui's grades from last week's mock exam out of her drawer.

"Looking at last week's mock exam, Qiao Rui's grades have slightly declined, but there's no major issue."

Xiao Chen's eyes were just about glued onto Yu Na instead of looking at any exam paper.

Yu Na stiffly continued, "Qiao Rui has improved a lot recently. Look at his grades," she pointed to the third grade scoresheet column with Qiao Rui's name, "he progressed the most in English, but his Chinese score never really went up. I asked his Chinese teacher and was told Qiao Rui often spaces out and doesn't write his compositions diligently in Chinese class. I hope you can remind him about this when you get home."

She was mid-sentence when the office's two other teachers got up, heading to the cafeteria together and bid Yu Na goodbye on their way out, "Na Na, we're going to eat."

Yu Na: "Alright, go ahead."

The two teachers left and the office only had the couple remaining.

It was still the first time they were alone together in the office.

Yu Na was very ill at ease while Xiao Chen didn't feel that way at all. On the contrary he was inwardly thanking the other two teachers in his heart.

He leaned towards Yu Na's direction, "Why'd you stop?"

Yu Na: "......"

Her breathing was a little unsteady, afraid he would do something improper in the office.

Yu Na forced herself to stay calm, just about to speak when Xiao Chen once again beat her to the punch, "Or should we talk about something else?"

She subtly reminded, "This is the office."

Just then, Xiao Chen's phone lit up. He took it out for a quick look. It was from father.

He wanted to ignore it for the time being and reply later, but the moment he put his phone away he suddenly glimpsed two conspicuous words from his dad's message -

【Marriage】
