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

Wen Xi was terrified by the loud and repeated calls of "Master's wife".

The blush on her face just wouldn't go away.

Finally, as if fleeing for her life, she pushed open the side door, trembling with fear as she broke through it and escaped.

"Great, you scared my baby away again. Why were you shouting so loudly? Don't you know she's young?" He Tingchu seemed a little angry.

The Physics Department is predominantly male, and that loud-sounding teacher's wife really scared Wen Xi to death.

Even after she had run far away, she could still feel her heart pounding.

His face was covered in sweat.

scared her to death.

It turns out that all the clothes in the house were bought by He Tingchu. She had always thought that Bai Xue had arranged it, but this was... too strange.

Wen Xi didn't dare to make a scene at Peking University anymore. She took a taxi back to Lanting Pavilion, where she had a message from Li Mu saying that it was his pre-wedding party that night and warmly inviting her to join them.

She decided to refuse almost without thinking.

She wasn't familiar with Li Mo either; Li Mo was He Tingchu's classmate, so why was she going to join in the fun?

[Teacher Li, I'm sorry...]

She kept editing the message, trying to come up with a reason to refuse.

Just when she was at her wit's end, she received a call from Xia Qing:

"Qiqi, where are you?" Xia Qing's voice sounded very urgent.

"at home."

"Could you come with me to a place? It's Li Mo's pre-wedding party. He specifically invited me, but your teacher has surgery and can't get away, so he asked me to deliver a gift."

"What a coincidence, he invited me too." Wen Xi clicked his tongue in amazement.

Are you going?

"I don't…"

"Let's go together then. At least we'll have company, so it won't be so awkward. We can even escape together later."

Wen Xi was struggling to find a reason to refuse. He thought, it would be impolite not to go, so why not just say goodbye and leave?

She and Xia Qing had agreed, and Xia Qing said she would take a taxi to pick her up.

Wen Xi said no need, Xia Qing is now Gu Lianyu's girlfriend, and can also be considered his future teacher's wife, so she has to be polite.

"I've come to pick you up, Madam." Wen Xi smiled.

It felt so good to be able to call someone else "teacher's wife".

Wen Xi went to the underground parking garage and drove the red supercar, one of the big gifts He Tingchu had given her a few months ago.

When you step on the gas, the car engine roars to life—it feels amazing.

Since we're going to keep an appointment, it's not appropriate to go empty-handed.

When passing by the Beijing branch of Kangde, Wen Xi stopped for a few minutes. She called Uncle Chen in advance and asked for a few boxes of Kangde's dietary supplements.

After Kangde's dietary supplements were launched in Japan and South Korea, they became an instant hit overseas and even boosted the domestic market, where they are currently in short supply.

The production line is working overtime to produce more nutrients, and the surge in demand for the nutritional supplements has boosted Kangde's stock price. Currently, there are widespread rumors in the industry that Kangde has been revived.

ST has successfully shed its ST designation.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

"Qiqi." At the front desk, Uncle Chen brought down the nutritional supplements and beamed when he saw her.

Uncle Chen is an elder who watched her grow up. He worked alongside Wen Shiyuan back then and has now been transferred to manage this branch company.

"Uncle Chen, how's the company doing lately?" Wen Xi asked hurriedly.

She recently started reading some business management books and has gained a basic understanding of how companies operate.

He Tingchu is right. She carries the responsibility of Kant on her shoulders. In the future, she can hire professional managers to manage the business, but as the largest shareholder, she must understand business operations.

"It's great. Our product is very popular, sales are steadily increasing, and a new cancer drug is about to be launched. We've finally made it through."

"Well, Uncle Chen, I'd like to recommend a few interns. You can arrange the interviews as usual. Keep the qualified ones, and don't worry about the unqualified ones because of me," Wen Xi instructed.

While Li Tingting and others were looking for internships, Wen Xi was thinking about whether he could train a few trusted lieutenants.

Li Tingting can do training, Guo Shan can do finance, but of course, ability is the most important thing. As He Tingchu once said, as a qualified business operator, you must never be swayed by personal relationships.

Unbeknownst to Wen Xi, He Tingchu's ramblings before falling asleep gradually took root in her heart.

"You can send me your resume first, and I'll arrange an interview. Qiqi, you've grown up and become more sensible."

"Uncle Chen, we must strictly adhere to the human resources hiring standards and not show favoritism. What we at Kant want are the most capable individuals."

Uncle Chen nodded with great satisfaction.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Chen, Wen Xi went to Jiahe Garden, where Xia Qing was already waiting for her.

Wen Xi brought the car to a stop.

"Wow, Qiqi, your car is so cool!" Xia Qing exclaimed, her eyes wide.

"Teacher's wife, don't we look good together?" Wen Xi wore a bright red dress that day, looking radiant and flamboyant.

Since it's He Tingchu's circle, losing face for oneself is less important than losing face for He Tingchu.

Xia Qing was clearly dressed up, and the two beauties got into the sports car, making a very conspicuous impression and attracting countless glances along the way.

"Let's go."

The two turned around and smiled, their beauty captivating all.

Passersby can't get enough of looking at him all day long.

Nightclub

The waiter led the two to VIP 7. The door to the room was pushed open, and the room was very large, isolated from the outside world, forming two completely different worlds.

The group consisted of about twenty people. Three to five people were singing into microphones, four or five were playing cards on the left, and a pool table was at the far end. In the dim light, Wen Xi squinted and looked around. He saw Li Mo and waved to him.

Li Mo stared intently at them. Why were Wen Xi and Xia Qing here?

He did invite He Tingchu and Gu Lianyu, but both declined, saying they were too busy and would meet in private.

Li Mo naturally knew He Tingchu's true identity and thought that he had invited a lot of people this time, and He Tingchu didn't like this kind of occasion.

Li Mo and Du Qian were a couple from high school, classmates in adjacent classes. This gathering included not only Li Mo's friends but also Du Qian's social circle.

But Du Qian was unhappy. She had already spread the word that the two most handsome boys from No. 8 Middle School would be attending her pre-wedding party, and many people were coming because of them.

No. 8 Middle School is a public middle school. No one knew He Tingchu’s true identity. They just thought he came from an ordinary family and that he had nothing special about him except that he was good at studying and good-looking.

When Du Qian learned that He Tingchu and Gu Lianyu were not coming, she threw a tantrum at Li Mo. Wasn't this making her lose face?

She learned from Li Mo that He Tingchu was married, so she sent an invitation to Wen Xi in Li Mo's name.

"What are you doing here?" Li Mo was more surprised to see the two of them.

"..." Wen Xi and Xia Qing exchanged a glance.

"Didn't you invite us here?" Wen Xi asked in surprise.

"Honey, I invited them on your behalf. You must be He Tingchu's wife, Wen Xi?" Du Qian said with a smile as she approached.

Li Mo's face darkened, and she quickly edited a message and sent it to the two parties involved.

[Your family members are with me, come quick! Sorry guys, my wife's causing trouble again.]

I will apologize again next time.

...

He knew that Du Qian had acted on her own again, and if He Tingchu found out, he didn't know how things would turn out. It was better to confess and be lenient.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Let me introduce you properly. This is He Tingchu's wife, and this is Lao Gu's girlfriend." Du Qian clapped her hands to signal everyone to pay attention.

A dozen pairs of eyes swept over at once, and Wen Xi blushed slightly, wondering why she felt a little short of breath.

She awkwardly tucked the stray hairs behind her ears and nodded to everyone in greeting.

She and Xia Qing naturally became the center of attention, and everyone gathered around them.

"Mr. Li, congratulations on your marriage to your wife. This is just a small token of my appreciation." The waiter behind Wen Xi pushed the gift in.

Xia Qing also presented a wedding gift.

"Wow, that's a big spender! This is a popular dietary supplement that's not cheap, and most importantly, it's something you can't buy even if you have the money," someone joked.

These gifts are indeed very valuable.

"Thank you for your kindness. Come, come and sit down." Du Qian led the two to sit on the sofa to the side.

She and Xia Qing felt a little awkward. After sitting for more than ten minutes, they wanted to say goodbye, but Wen Xi looked around and couldn't find Li Mo.

Xia Qing was also surrounded by people and couldn't get away, so Wen Xi got up and went to find Li Mo.

She pushed open the door to the back balcony.

"Who told you to invite them?" Li Mo complained in a low voice.

"I already told everyone, but you're useless. None of your buddies came. Where do I put my face now?"

"I can't explain it to you, so I won't go into detail about Old Gu, but He Tingchu is different."

"How is it different? Aren't we all just ordinary people? Why are you so great just because you're a professor at Peking University? You're a university teacher too."

"Sigh, I can't communicate with you. He Tingchu is different from us."

"I saw his wife arrive in a supercar. Could it be that He Tingchu has become a kept man? Has he hooked up with a rich woman?"
