Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 383 - 346: No Threshold Is Too High for the Determined
Su Xiaomeng couldn’t help but laugh, thinking she was quite impressive herself.
"Next month it is, Professor Qi Jun personally called to invite you, of course, you have to go."
"Hmm."
"But you have to promise me, even if you become an academic ace, you need to pace yourself. Don’t overwork, remember, haste makes waste."
"Oh oh oh, I got it!"
Su Xiaomeng hugged his head and gave him several heavy kisses.
Yin Shixiu gently stroked her back. For a moment, he was moved and murmured in a raspy voice by her ear, "Has it been a while since we last did it?"
"It’s been over three months, it should be okay, right?"
As he spoke, his large hand started to act unruly. Su Xiaomeng slapped it away, "Hold it! Dare to touch Little Treasure and see what happens!"
"I’ll be gentle, my dear Meng Meng..."
Su Xiaomeng was teased by Yin Shixiu’s almost coquettish plea... her heart started itching.
"No, we need to control ourselves... This child was your idea, remember?"
Su Xiaomeng kept a stern face and reminded him seriously.
Yin Shixiu blinked at her, "Honestly, I’m kind of regretting it now."
"Dear Meng Meng... I promise to be gentle, you were busy with exams recently, haven’t you attended to it?"
Yin Shixiu pulled her hand, bringing it to touch his unbearably clamoring desire.
Sensuality is always a thing for two. With Yin Shixiu having feelings, it’s impossible for Xiao Meng to be completely unaffected.
But...
"Shuangshuang and Huang Huang are still in the living room, no one’s watching them..."
Yin Shixiu immediately picked her up, setting her on the leather chair, "Give me ten minutes, I’ll put the two little ones to sleep."
Su Xiaomeng blinked, incredulous...
"Ten minutes, you can put them to sleep?"
"Just wait and see."
With that, Yin Shixiu left the study room.
Su Xiaomeng showed a speechless face, leaned back on his leather chair, feeling both annoyed and amused.
But more than that, probably a bit sweet.
Put those two kids to sleep in ten minutes?
Su Xiaomeng couldn’t believe it at all...
Thus, she leaned over the desk, turned her head to stare at the clock hanging on the wall, watching the minute hand inch forward...
When Yin Shixiu came back in, he found Su Xiaomeng had fallen asleep there.
To say he wasn’t heartache, would be a lie.
He knew better than anyone why she was prepping for exams with such effort, so tense and unwilling to slack off.
He was willing to give her time, but she wasn’t willing to take.
She didn’t say, or even wasn’t aware, how urgently she was pushing herself.
So urgently and eagerly aiming for some achievements. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Two years ago, she promised her mother she’d strive to become an outstanding person, to live up to the name of Mrs. Yin.
Two years passed, and she never forgot for a second.
Whenever this happened, Yin Shixiu always felt he truly found a treasure.
So many people spend their lives, yet fail to find a soulmate, but he stumbled upon one by accident.
"Hmm..."
"Meng Meng, let’s go back to bed."
Su Xiaomeng woke up, leaning her head, with a sleepy smile, looking at him, "Did you put them to sleep?"
"Hmm, they’re asleep."
"Hmm... someone here made a solemn vow... ten minutes is all they’d need?"
Seeing her half-awake and still not missing a chance to mock, Yin Shixiu lowered his head and bit her lips, "You’re always right, okay?"
Su Xiaomeng giggled, stretched her arms to encircle his neck, lightly biting his ear, "Come on, you lecherous man."
"Be careful... you know it, or else, there won’t be a next time..."
Yin Shixiu, feeling passionate, flames rising from his lower abdomen...
He picked her up, "Hmm... where to?"
"Back to the bedroom."
"Weren’t the kids just put to sleep? Don’t go to the bedroom, let’s just make do here on the sofa..."
"Back to the bedroom, no more fooling around today, let’s sleep well."
"Hmm..."
Su Xiaomeng chuckled silly, whispering conspiratorially in his ear, "I’m giving you an opportunity, don’t you want it..."
"Yes, I’m wasting it myself, can’t blame you."
"Hmm!"
Su Xiaomeng responded loudly, "Then I’ll... nap a bit..."
"...Hmm, sleep well."
After carrying her back to the room, Yin Shixiu sent a message to Chen Lan to cancel the flight tickets, opting not to go for now.
He then didn’t return to the study, took a shower, noticing Su Xiaomeng lying on the bed with lips so dry they were turning white, he went to the kitchen to make a cup of warm honey water.
Returning, he fed some to Su Xiaomeng before letting her continue to sleep.
She slept much more soundly for the rest of the night.
This isn’t Xiao Meng’s first pregnancy, and he, looking after a pregnant woman, has some experience in that regard.
Compared to Xiao Meng’s initial cluelessness and his own panic, dealing with all things during pregnancy now feels much more at ease.
On Monday morning, Yin Shixiu drove Xiao Meng to Beijing Foreign Studies University.
"Call the driver after class, I have meetings running late, probably can’t catch up with you."
Xiao Meng nodded, "Okay, okay, you hurry to the company, drive safely."
"Mm."
Xiao Meng stood there, waiting until Yin Shixiu drove far away before entering the school gate.
The layout of Beijing Foreign Studies University is quite similar to A University, with signs clearly marking each teaching area. It didn’t take long to find the large lecture hall where the class was held.
It was nearly full with people.
Su Xiaomeng randomly found a seat and sat down, noticing there were two more rows of people standing at the back of the classroom...
These were students without a slot, hoping to audit the class.
Su Xiaomeng was really glad she agreed to Dean Qi right away. Others wanted to attend but couldn’t, and if she had refused, it would have been like stepping on an opportunity placed right in front of her.
When Dean Qi entered, he was indeed well-loved by the students, as applause filled the room before he even started the lecture.
After studying at A University for two years, Xiao Meng had never seen such a scene.
The course lasted a total of two hours, with a fifteen-minute break in between. Su Xiaomeng initially thought of taking the opportunity during the break to greet the dean, but as soon as class ended, students flocked to fill the podium...
Su Xiaomeng, having a little one in her belly, refrained from joining the crowd.
"You’re not a student from our school, are you?"
The boy sitting next to Xiao Meng had been stealthily observing her for a while before speaking up.
Su Xiaomeng turned her head at his words. Next to her sat quite a handsome young man, who looked honest and straightforward. She nodded, "Mm, I’m a student at A University."
"A University isn’t close by, are you also a die-hard fan of Dean Qi?"
"Die-hard fan?"
Su Xiaomeng blinked and couldn’t help but laugh, "It seems Dean Qi is really popular, huh."
"Isn’t he? His lectures are humorous, he’s approachable with students, and most importantly, his knowledge and insights are renowned. Anyone who wants to excel in English hopes to learn from him."
Su Xiaomeng nodded.
The boy, seeing how Su Xiaomeng spoke politely with a constant smile on her face, found her appearance cute and fresh, with a nice demeanor.
Feeling eager, he pulled out his phone and somewhat bashfully said, "Um, my name is Sun Pengpeng, I’m a senior in the Foreign Languages Institute."
"Oh, I’m Su Xiaomeng, a junior."
"Su Xiaomeng... what a cute name."
Su Xiaomeng scratched her head, always a little embarrassed when praised face-to-face.
"Xiao Meng, could we... add each other on WeChat? Meeting like this is fate, don’t you think? We’re both studying translation, we could consult each other if we encounter any issues in the future."
Not thinking much of it, Su Xiaomeng agreed. Nowadays, social media wasn’t that private anymore; making a friend after meeting was quite normal.
"Sure."
Sun Pengpeng added Su Xiaomeng on WeChat, feeling a wave of small excitement.
He thought he had finally found a blossom.
"Sun, could you watch over my things? I need to use the bathroom."
"Sure, sure, the bathroom is left out of the classroom, at the end of the hallway."
"Thank you."
As soon as Xiao Meng left, Sun Pengpeng hurriedly started scrolling through Su Xiaomeng’s moments.
The first scroll... Beijing University football field? Hmm, two silhouettes snuggling under the sun...
Girls love taking these seemingly artistic photos with their friends.
The second scroll...
This pair of twins is really quite cute; I wonder which relative’s kids they are...
The third scroll...
Still the same pair of twins?
The boy got so absorbed in scrolling that Xiao Meng’s return went unnoticed.
"Cute, aren’t they?"
"Huh?"
The boy, startled, quickly smiled, "Mm, very cute, how are they related to you?"
"Oh, they’re my son and daughter."
Su Xiaomeng didn’t know if it was her imagination, but during the second part of the lecture, Sun Pengpeng seemed to deliberately keep his distance.
It felt as if he was more distant and unfamiliar than before they exchanged WeChat.
Confused, she continued to focus on the lecture and took notes.
After class, she simply exchanged greetings and left.
Su Xiaomeng only felt today’s boys were strange; one moment they were warm, the next cold, truly unpredictable.
Most students had left the classroom, but the podium was still surrounded.
Through the gaps in the crowd, Xiao Meng saw Dean Qi sweating and remained smiling as he answered student queries.
After some thought, Xiao Meng stayed in her seat, organizing and summarizing her notes, circling the unclear points.
About half an hour later, as the crowd at the podium thinned a bit.
Su Xiaomeng checked the time and figured the driver was already waiting outside, so she packed her bag, and as she approached the podium, she heard the dean’s voice was hoarse.
Her gaze swept over to a teacup at the podium’s edge; the tea leaves had dried up.
Xiao Meng took the teacup to the water dispenser, filled it up, and put it back.
The students surrounding Dean Qi were fervently discussing issues, and Su Xiaomeng felt too shy to interrupt them merely to say goodbye to the dean.
So she placed the teacup back and left the classroom.
By the time Dean Qi could also take a break, he was genuinely sweating, taking off his jacket, placing it aside, and reaching for the teacup, feeling gratified to find it full.
He had noticed Su Xiaomeng, but similarly, had no chance to greet her amidst it all.
He picked up his phone and saw a message from Su Xiaomeng, expressing her gratitude for giving her this slot, and hoping that he would also take care of himself and not overwork.
"Dean, what’s making you so happy?"
