The couple’s attitude was flawless; upon eting, there was a string of perfectly tid complints, yet Zhao Qingge found them sohow awkward.
Are they treating as an equal? Well, they should treat as an equal...
Zhao Qingge’s expression froze slightly, squeezing out a smile: "Teacher Yu, you don’t have to be so formal. This is what I’m supposed to do. Mainly, Peifeng has been having so issues in his life lately, and I think it’s necessary to have a conversation with you. Plus, the Capital isn’t that far from here, and Ningyuan City is a tourist city. I’ve never been here before, so I’m just taking the opportunity to see the sights, hence the visit."
"Right." Yu Huizhi nodded repeatedly. "Treat it as a vacation. Now that you’re here, don’t hurry to leave. Ningyuan not only has the sea, but also mountains and ancient towns. I’ll take you around these few days over New Year’s, fulfill the host’s duties, properly express our thanks... By the way, you haven’t booked a hotel yet, right? I have a friend who’s the manager of a four-star hotel by the sea. Let give her a call, I’ll book it for you!"
"No, there’s no need!"
Zhao Qingge quickly stopped her, but Yu Huizhi was already pulling out her phone. While dialing, she smiled and said: "Don’t mind it’s not five-star, Ningyuan is small, and her place is already the best in terms of anities in the entire area."
After she finished speaking, the call connected, and Yu Huizhi imdiately said into the phone: "Hey, Jingjing? I have a friend here visiting, can you book the best room..."
"Teacher Zhao, have so fruit."
At this mont, Li Qiyuan returned with a fruit platter, offering it enthusiastically. It was hard to refuse such hospitality, so Zhao Qingge used a toothpick to pick up a piece of waterlon and put it into his mouth. After swallowing, he nodded repeatedly: "It’s very sweet, rare for this season."
"My wife’s very picky, she has to eat fruit every day. Over ti, I know more fruit suppliers and understand how to select fruit better than those vendors." Li Qiyuan lovingly glanced at Yu Huizhi, as she sweetly rolled her eyes after hanging up the phone: "Talking about in front of outsiders again."
"I wasn’t!"
"Yes, you were!"
"Naughty!"
"But it doesn’t stop from loving you, my wife!"
The couple’s flirtatious conversation left Zhao Qingge feeling a bit dazed.
Who am I? Where am I? What are they doing?
Luckily, Li Qiyuan quickly ca back to his senses and detached himself from the mushiness with his wife. He put the fruit platter on the coffee table and said seriously: "So Professor Zhao, you’ve co here this ti because Fengfeng caused so trouble at school?"
Yu Huizhi furrowed her brows slightly: "Yes, Teacher Zhao, you ntioned on the phone before that you wanted to talk about Fengfeng. What exactly is the matter?"
Old Li and Old Yu got nervous, and Zhao Qingge finally rembered his purpose for coming. After pondering for a mont, he slowly opened his mouth: "Peifeng has no issues with his studies. So of my projects have received great support from him, and his early graduation is a sure thing. Whether he wants to focus on writing in the future or continue his Ph.D. and teach at the university, it’s all possible..."
"What about him?" Li Qiyuan had an inkling of realization.
Zhao Qingge’s face showed a hint of concern and worry: "However, Peifeng’s personal relationship problems have always been relatively... complex. Last ti when you went to the school, you saw it too — many girls asked questions during the lecture, and those girls had interaction and ambiguous relations with him."
"Right, right, right." Yu Huizhi nodded repeatedly: "We reasoned with him for a long ti then, and Fengfeng also promised... promised..."
Yu Huizhi hesitated, gritted her teeth, thinking about eting Xu Manning and Wu Wenyue later, so what did Li Peifeng’s promises amount to? He’s getting more outrageous!
Li Qiyuan also felt helpless: "The child has grown up, and when it cos to how he manages his relationships, as parents, we can only guide him. Teacher Zhao, we probably already know what you’re talking about."
Zhao Qingge mused: "What ti will he be ho today?"
"An hour ago, I ssaged him; he said he just got on the highway."
Li Qiyuan speculated: "He should be here by 12 at the latest."
"So this ti who is he bringing ho to et you two? Is it Wu Wenyue or Xu Manning, or both together?"
Yu Huizhi’s face turned red, a bit flustered: "Oh dear~ Teacher Zhao, you know too... Uh, yes, it’s both."
Li Qiyuan held his forehead, covering his face along with his eyes, muttering bad luck, bad luck for the family...
He’s daring enough to bring both to et his parents?!
Zhao Qingge took a deep breath, restraining the anger inside, and calmly asked: "What if I told you, he has another girlfriend, what would you two think?"
Yu Huizhi’s eyes widened in disbelief: "Another one?"
"Besides those two, Li Peifeng has another girlfriend?"
This ti, Li Qiyuan couldn’t worry about embarrassnt, and said seriously: "Teacher Zhao, are you serious? He has three girlfriends?"
Zhao Qingge nodded slightly: "Three, maybe more than three, and the third one you also saw during the lecture at Beihua Normal University. Her na is Huang Tianxuan."
"Tianxuan..."
Yu Huizhi was too shocked by this news to speak, sitting motionless on the couch as if her soul had departed: "Chen Aohong, indeed."
Li Qiyuan also remained silent, seemingly still processing, before speaking a few seconds later: "Then Teacher Zhao, do you know when he and Li Peifeng started seeing each other?"
"It’s all within the last two months."
Zhao Qingge calmly replied: "But Huang Tianxuan isn’t like Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning. She doesn’t quite accept what Li Peifeng does, so their relationship is ambiguous, but calling it a relationship isn’t an exaggeration."
Yu Huizhi suddenly realized sothing and hurriedly asked: "Then this Huang Tianxuan and Fengfeng... Do Wenyue and Manning know about them?"
