Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 928: With You Always (73)

"Teacher, I will make sure he corrects this problem," Gu Lili said, holding her younger son’s hand.

"Alright, let’s talk about the next student, Tan Ruyue, please stand up and say hello."

A little girl with a ponytail stood up, "Hello everyone, my name is Tan Ruyue."

"You may sit down. This student’s parents didn’t come, but her academic performance is excellent and there are no other small issues, so we’ll move on to the next student..."

"Mom, did you see her? That’s Tan Ruyue," Xingxing quietly tattled to Gu Lili beside him, "She’s so annoying."

"Don’t talk, the teacher is speaking, focus and listen."

Xingxing closed his mouth and continued listening. The parent-teacher meeting was making him drowsy.

After two periods, just as the brothers were about to fall asleep, the class ended.

On hearing the bell, Xingxing seemed ready to jump up.

"There’s only one class left before school ends. Mom won’t leave, I’ll wait in the car outside the school gate until you finish. Xingxing, don’t be naughty anymore."

"Got it, Mom, you can go without worries. Don’t you trust me?" he said earnestly, "From today on, I will be Mom’s good boy."

Gu Lili kissed him, "Alright, Mom’s heading out."

"Goodbye, Mom." He waved, and as soon as Gu Lili left the classroom, Xingxing raised his fist tightly, "Yay!"

"Long Xingchen, was that lady really your mom?"

Xingxing lifted his chin slightly, saying proudly, "Of course!"

"Your mom is really pretty."

Seeing Tan Ruyue compliment his mom, Xingxing spoke to her in a surprisingly nicer tone, "Why didn’t your parents come?"

"My mom left."

"Left? Where did she go?"

"Went abroad, I don’t know where. Dad made a lady come to take care of me, and they won’t be at future parent-teacher meetings."

"Your dad can come," Listen asked, "Is he really busy?"

"I don’t know if he’s busy or not," Tan Ruyue’s eyes filled with tears, "I haven’t seen him in a long time."

Stars would usually tease her, but seeing her cry, he remembered his mom telling him to be a gentleman to girls. He took out his handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her, "Girls, just love to cry, here."

Tan Ruyue took it and noticed the embroidered lotus on the blue handkerchief, "Where did you get this? It’s so pretty."

"From home."

Tan Ruyue sniffed it under her nose, "It even smells nice."

"I have other colors at home, do you want them? If you want, I’ll bring them to school tomorrow."

On hearing Xingxing’s offer, Listen looked at him as if he’d seen a ghost, puzzled by what his brother was thinking.

Showing off how many handkerchiefs they have at home?

Tan Ruyue’s eyes curved with a smile, "No need, this one you gave is already great, thank you, Long Xingchen."

Upon receiving her thanks, Xingxing felt extremely satisfied, "No need to thank me, it’s not anything valuable."

After dinner, the sky gradually darkened.

Jun Xiangyi sat on the swing in the yard, Feng Qinglian came over from afar, draping a shawl over her shoulders, "It’s damp at night, you’re not dressed warmly enough."

Watching his gentle actions, Jun Xiangyi couldn’t tell if he genuinely cared or if it was just pretense.

"Thank you."

"No thanks needed between husband and wife."

Jun Xiangyi wrapped herself tighter in the shawl, "Where did you just come back from?"
