“How… How could I know?!” Zhao Yanzi glared at Hao Ren.

Hao Ren smiled.

Last night was Xie Yujia’s first night living in his home, and he didn’t sleep well. Obviously, Zhao Yanzi who was at downtown seemed to have been thinking of them last night.

However, Zhao Yanzi thought too much. After all, the fact that Xie Yujia was living in his home didn’t mean anything extra.

From Zhao Yanzi’s perspective, Xie Yujia had taken a step forward regarding her relationship with Hao Ren, and it gave Zhao Yanzi a sense of pressure.

After all, just a while ago, Xie Yujia was only the Class President to Hao Ren, but now she was living in Hao Ren’s home in the blink of an eye. Zhao Yanzi wondered what would become of her, the fiancée.

The more she thought, the more insecure she felt. However, she couldn’t interfere with the whole thing. After all, she couldn’t drop her face and move into Hao Ren’s home as well.

Seeing Hao Ren’s calm attitude, Zhao Yanzi glared at him again. “I warn you! She can live in your home, but you can’t get too close to her!”

Her fierce look told him that he was under her control although they weren’t married yet. In her subconsciousness, Hao Ren was already hers.

“Ok. I got it,” Hao Ren agreed helplessly.

She had no objection toward the fact that Hao Ren got close to Su Han and the Lu sisters, but she was alarmed when he and Xie Yujia stayed together alone.

Seeing that Hao Ren was still staring at her, Zhao Yanzi blushed and added, “But I didn’t say that I would marry you!”

“Ugh…” Hao Ren was speechless. Obviously, Zhao Yanzi had rights but was not bounded by any responsibilities. That was her privilege.

In other words, if her problem could be solved through another method, she might not marry him, regardless of the consequences.

“Hey! Help me solve this problem!” Zhao Yanzi changed the subject and pushed her homework before Hao Ren.

Hao Ren read the problem carefully. “We… drinking tea…”

“Choose answer A, all like. Notional verbs are followed…” he answered her question without thinking.

Recently, he had been reading the textbooks and doing exercise problems of the subjects in middle school. He was very familiar with the concepts of the Eighth Grade that he felt like he could be a good teacher who could teach English, physics, and math.

“Oh.” Zhao Yanzi pulled back her homework.

Sometimes warm and sometimes cold; her moods changed so fast that Hao Ren was confused by her. He guessed that maybe the students nowadays were all just like her.

From her office, Zhao Hongyu sent a file to Hao Ren’s computer. It contained designs of three buildings the studio had done during the first quarter of last year, and it was for Hao Ren to study and learn from.

Everyone working here had to do their share, and Zhao Hongyu would never lower her standards for Hao Ren because he was her future son-in-law. She was determined to let him learn stuff while he was in her office as an intern.

As time ticked away, Zhao Yanzi no longer dared to disturb Hao Ren after asking some questions about her homework. Before they left their house, Zhao Hongyu had warned Zhao Yanzi that she would get severely punished if she disturbed Hao Ren’s work in the studio for no reason since his work here was important.

Although Zhao Yanzi didn’t understand why her mom favored Hao Ren, she obeyed her mom’s orders. She knew her mom, who was usually mild, was strict if her rules were violated.

“Mom! It’s lunchtime! I’ll go out for lunch with Hao Ren!” Zhao Yanzi endured until noon in boredom. Then, she called out to her mom in the small office while exhaling deeply.

“Ok! Go ahead,” Zhao Hongyu, who was reading files in her office, answered.

Like a prisoner who just got released from her cell, Zhao Yanzi jumped up abruptly and grabbed Hao Ren before running out the door. After all, she was a girl who didn’t like to sit still, and she was bored to death sitting there doing her homework at Zhao Hongyu’s order.

Finally, she could use the lunch break to get out.

The sky was clear, and there were several small and elegant cafes in the Art District that was full of art exhibitions. Familiar with the surrounding area, Zhao Yanzi pulled Hao Ren into one of the nearby cafes.

Leaning against the coffee-colored glass, Zhao Yanzi in her white T-shirt and denim overall looked like a little bird released from its cage.

Hao Ren slouched on the chair and looked through the coffee-colored glass.

“Can I please get the tuna salad, the Hungarian beef soup, the Italian pork fried rice, and orange juice; for him, the vegetable salad, the Italian vegetable soup, the Filet Mignon served with garlic mashed potatoes, and a pot of Longjing Tea.”

Picking up the big menu, Zhao Yanzi ordered swiftly for herself and Hao Ren. She knew if she let Hao Ren order, he would hesitate and waste their time.

After the waiter took their order, Zhao Yanzi rested her chin on her hand and watched the scene out of the window while tapping her cheek with her fingers.

Gentle music was being played in the café.

Hao Ren glanced from Zhao Yanzi to the scenes outside, unsure where to look.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Yanzi turned her bright eyes to Hao Ren. “What? Are you bored with me?”

“The less I say, the better,” Hao Ren answered.

“No one told you not to talk!” Zhao Yanzi wrinkled her nose. “Ok. The lunch is on me!”

Sometimes she thought Hao Ren was annoying, and sometimes she felt like he was dumb. Despite all these, she still believed that Hao Ren was better than most of the other guys around her.

The other guys either fawned over her like sticky candy or played cool; both types were more boring than Hao Ren.

“Oh, I have gifts for you.” Hao Ren took out the two storage bags from his necklace and placed them before her.

“Oh? What are these?” Zhao Yanzi blinked curiously. It was the first time that Hao Ren offered to give her gifts.

She had now reached level 9 of the Qi Refinement Realm, so she injected nature essence into them and opened them.

She took out two wooden badges, a short sword, bottles of elixirs, and several dharma notes.

“Where did you get them?” Zhao Yanzi asked while playing with the two wooden badges.

“I caught two people today, and they gave me these bags,” Hao Ren answered.

“Elder Tianyi, Elder Yuxin… White Sand Sect…” Zhao Yanzi touched the ancient-looking wooden badges. Then, she picked up the short sword, and her nature essence entered it immediately, showing that it was a dharma treasure.

“I like this sword; I’ll take it!” Since she had begun cultivation again, she needed a good weapon; this short sword would become her first dharma treasure.

“But White Sand Sect doesn’t sound like one of us; it sounds like a cultivation sect.” Zhao Yanzi picked up the wooden badges again and studied them for a few seconds. She yelled suddenly, “They probably came from a sect on Fifth Heaven! Idiot, you let go of two spies!”

“Really?” Hao Ren was surprised.

At that moment, Zhao Yanzi’s eyes lit up. “Two identity badges… Hey! Let’s go up there and play around!”
