Newlyweds are in the throes of passion, but Professor He's little darling wants a separation.

He Tingchu's chopsticks froze in place.

He's not a picky eater; the one who doesn't eat scallions is someone else.

He clearly remembered that someone from ten years ago didn't like eating scallions. If she even had a little bit of scallion on her food, she would become extremely spoiled and refuse to eat.

Wen Shiyuan said that she should be more sensible in the He family, but she still threw a tantrum over the scallion issue. Wen Shiyuan lost face and ended up getting a beating.

He Tingchu took the chicken soup to the kitchen and ladled out another bowl.

Wen Xi's little pearl finally stopped and obediently ate her food.

"Don't you not eat scallions?" He Tingchu asked casually.

Wen Xi looked at him with great surprise.

I didn't expect him to remember it. Sure enough, top students have great memories.

"I didn't eat it before, but after my dad beat me a few times, I started eating it..." Wen Xi answered casually.

He Tingchu then realized that ten years is enough to change a person's habits.

...

A hint of disappointment flashed in the man's eyes. He put down his chopsticks in a daze and placed the bowl of wontons with scallions in front of Wen Xi.

He ate the bowl without any scallions himself.

Even though she was really hungry, Wen Xi wolfed down her food without any manners, showing no trace of the demeanor of a well-bred young lady.

Never mind, never mind.

She's not He Tingyou, so her image doesn't matter. There's no need for her to pretend to be a refined lady.

Soon, the wontons in front of Wen Xi were gone. He Tingchu was right; the wontons were indeed delicious, with flavorful broth and chewy meat.

That's right, I only managed to eat about 50% full.

Across from him, He Tingchu ate at a leisurely pace, displaying the refined manners of a noble young master.

Indeed, good-looking people are pleasing to the eye even when they eat, maintaining their refined and elegant demeanor.

He has the demeanor of a noble young master.

Wen Xi wanted to laugh as he watched him eat slowly and carefully, but he held back. He then looked at the wontons in the bowl and swallowed.

Should we buy another bowl?

No!

Does it make her look like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey?

This certainly damages her ladylike image.

Who has a perfectly healthy daughter who eats two big bowls of wontons?

"Are you full?" He Tingchu looked up and met her drooling gaze.

I'm full.

"Professor He, you're in the cafeteria too?" At that moment, a student recognized He Tingchu and hurried over with a tray to greet him.

"Hmm." He Tingchu nodded lightly.

"Who is this?" The gossipy girl quickly focused her attention on Wen Xi's face.

Four eyes, circling around and around.

Wen Xi was stunned. How should he answer?

"This is your senior, why don't you greet her?" He Tingchu comforted her.

"Hello, senior, I won't disturb your meal any longer." The girl covered her mouth and quickly left.

Even after the person left, their eyes kept drifting towards her face. To avoid any misunderstanding, Wen Xi decided to leave first.

"Um, Brother Tingchu, I've finished eating, I'll be going now." Wen Xi leaned forward and whispered.

The distance suddenly closed by several tens of centimeters, meeting the man's deep black eyes. Wen Xi suddenly felt embarrassed, her face flushing red.

"I'm going to the library to look up some information later, let's go together."

Is he alright?

She was just being polite to him.

She didn't want to be seen with him and cause gossip.

The phone on the table suddenly rang; it was He Tingyou calling. Wen Xi's previously gloomy expression instantly brightened.

"Brother Tingchu, I need to take this call." Wen Xi held the phone and almost ran outside to answer it.

A wave of emotion washed over He Tingchu, and a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flickered across his eyes.

Yes, she was his younger brother's fiancée.

What is he thinking?

Who wants to get married for no reason these days?

If the end of the world were to happen in the form of marriage, there would only be one marriage partner he could think of.

That was the little crybaby from back then.

He and Wen Qiqi were considered a good match in terms of social standing and strength.

However, he couldn't even finish dealing with all the things he had on hand.

Who has the energy and spirit to deal with this spoiled little princess?

It's better not to get married, that way the world won't end.

He Tingyou must take full responsibility.

But the thought of Wen Xi becoming He Tingyou's wife made him feel inexplicably annoyed.

In short, his feelings were indescribably complicated, and he couldn't figure out why for the time being.

He continued to struggle with the small wontons in the bowl.

At that moment, Gu Lianyu caught sight of an old acquaintance in the corner, who rudely brought over a tray of food.

"Didn't you say you weren't going to eat? What are you doing here?" Gu Lianyu nudged He Tingchu's shoulder with his arm and plopped down in Wen Xi's seat.

"Auntie, tidy up a bit," Gu Lianyu called out.

The aunt quickly came over and took away Wen Xi's finished plate. He Tingchu glared coldly at the person in front of him, then kicked him inexplicably with annoyance.

"What's wrong, Professor He? I'm having dinner with you, and you still look so gloomy. Did you break up with your boyfriend?"

"You actually cursed me? Believe me or not, I'll poison you until you're mute." He Tingchu said recklessly.

"Yeah, you're a lifelong single dog who's never been in a relationship, so how could you possibly experience heartbreak? You don't even deserve to suffer the pain of heartbreak!" Gu Lianyu said.

The man's face was gloomy.

...

Wen Xi was in a great mood after receiving the call. He Tingyou asked her to dinner that night, and Wen Xi said, "Okay."

As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw a man standing in front of He Tingchu. He was dressed in white and looked handsome from behind.

"Hey, look! The two Peking University students are wearing matching outfits, black and white!"

Two dogs from Peking University?

What a load of nonsense!

"I really like them, this scene is so nice to my eyes." A girl next to me secretly took out her phone to take a picture.

Following the direction of her finger, Wen Xi discovered that the camera was pointed at He Tingchu and the man opposite him.

"Why are you taking pictures of them?" Wen Xi asked casually.

"Handsome guy, Professor He is the psychopath of the School of Software, and Professor Gu is the executioner of the Medical School. Come on... guess who's on top and who's on the bottom..." The girl whispered in her ear.

Oh my god~

Wen Xi felt like her world had collapsed. Her pupils contracted slightly, but a strange, numb smile remained on her face.

Could this be the real reason why He Tingchu is almost thirty and still not married?

She finally understood, her dark eyes darting around.

"I bet Professor He is the one above. Professor He is more manly, with maximum sexual tension," the girl continued to mutter.

That makes sense.

Wen Xi disagreed with even more.

She dared not interrupt their date, so she quickly typed...

[Tingchu, He Tingyou is here to see me. I'll head out first. You guys enjoy your meal.]

She runs faster than a rabbit.

-

He Tingchu's phone vibrated; a message from Wen Xi had come in.

Why are you running? It's not like I'm going to eat you, you coward.

After reading it, he inexplicably became irritated, turned off the screen, and left with the tray.

"Professor He, can you have dinner with me?" Gu Lianyu asked while eating.

"Find a woman to eat with you. Get lost!" He Tingchu snapped.

"Seriously, how many graduate students did you take on this year?" Gu Lianyu asked casually.

Getting back to work, He Tingchu put down her plate and sat back down.

"Confiscate it. I don't have time to supervise graduate students; Hanyu is too busy. What about you?"

"I've only taken on one disciple as my last apprentice; I won't take any more because I've performed too many surgeries."

"Congratulations on gaining a beloved disciple. You'll be very busy." He Tingchu rolled his eyes and strode away first.

-

Wen Xi ate a bowl of wontons, and then He Tingyou took her to eat Western food. However, she seemed to be full and suddenly lost her appetite.

He hadn't even had a proper Western meal when He Tingyou's assistant arrived in a van to pick him up, and he left quickly.

But at least they finally had a date alone. After returning from her date with He Tingyou, Wen Xi was in such a good mood that she couldn't resist sharing it and called Xiao Man.

"Oh, this is so sweet."

"He explained the kiss to me and told me not to mind it, but I still felt uncomfortable."

"Of course, it's because your man is a heartthrob."

"Headache. Also, Xiaoman, you should give up on this idea sooner or later. His older brother isn't that straightforward." Wen Xi couldn't help but say.

"impossible."

"It's true, I saw him having dinner with that person."

"I thought you guys saw them sleeping together! You're blind. Just looking at the photos, your brother-in-law is straight, as straight as can be!"

"Fine, don't believe me then."

"I don't believe you. Don't extinguish the flame of my budding love."

-

Three days later, on the eighth day of the month, it is an auspicious day for marriage.

Before the wedding, Yu Feng's official WeChat account announced the news of the upcoming marriage between the He and Wen families, and stated that Yu Feng Group would reach a long-term strategic cooperation with Kangde Pharmaceutical. The news was a great boon to Kangde Pharmaceutical.

Within just one week, Kangde Pharmaceutical's stock hit the daily limit for three consecutive days.

Shareholders are optimistic about Kant, which shows signs of a comeback.

On the eve of their wedding, Xie Chunxi and Wen Shiyuan held Wen Xi's hands, cupped her face, and looked at her again and again.

"Qiqi, you must be happy. Mom and Dad, we're so sorry." The couple felt incredibly guilty.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, it's my own choice. Nobody forced me. It's not like you're selling your daughter!"

"Tingyou, he..." Wen Shiyuan hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"He's doing fine," Wen Xi comforted him.

"That's good. Just live your lives well."

"Yes." Wen Xi nodded heavily.

She will live a good life with him.
