Professor Li Yan had a big grin on his face. “Oh, child, Imperial Media University has existed for nearly a century, but only three people have managed to skip to graduation in one go. This news has spread throughout the entire school already; how could I not know?”
“Last night, I mentioned it while I was having dinner with your grandfather and a few other friends. Your grandfather didn’t say anything outright, but his tail was nearly raised to the sky!”
Ye Wanwan didn’t know whether to cry or laugh when she heard that. However, she really did have to thank Professor Li for mentioning her in front of Grandpa repeatedly. It helped create a good impression for her Grandpa.
“Oh, Wanwan, you should be free now that you’re done with your exams, right?” Professor Li suddenly asked after some chatting with her.
When Ye Wanwan heard this question, her heart skipped a beat, and an ominous feeling washed over her.
Professor Li looked expectant as he asked, “When are you free, Wanwan? I’ll invite your grandfather and grandmother, and our two families can have a casual meal together. That punk of mine just happens to be back as well!”
Ye Wanwan: “…”
Why hadn’t Professor Li forgotten about this matter yet…
What casual meal… This was nothing but a matchmaking gala…
She couldn’t anymore, and she had to explain it clearly.
Ye Wanwan scratched her head and abashedly said, “I’m truly sorry, Professor Li, but I’ve been busy with studying and writing my thesis, so I didn’t have any free time. Now that I’m finally free, I made plans with my boyfriend to go on a trip, so I won’t be free these next few days…”
Professor Li was startled. “Wanwan, you have a boyfriend?”
Ye Wanwan nodded. “I do.”
Professor Li instantly felt his heart aching like his chosen flower had been picked by someone else. But after thinking about it, he found something was amiss. “That’s not right… Girl, you aren’t lying to me, right?! I talked to your grandfather earlier, but he didn’t mention you had a boyfriend!”
Ye Wanwan rushed to explain. “Um, Professor Li, you know about my family’s situation. I don’t see Grandpa and Grandma often, so they don’t know I have a boyfriend yet!”
“You really aren’t lying to me?”
“Of course I’m not! Why would I lie to you?”
“Oh, Wanwan, I know you young people are averse to matchmaking and arranged marriages, but let me tell you. I’m not boasting when I say my son is handsome and is a perfect match with you!” Professor Li merely thought “I have a boyfriend” was Ye Wanwan’s excuse, so he strongly plowed through.
Ye Wanwan coughed. “Um, about that… Professor Li, I don’t think looks are important. Feelings should be taken into greater consideration…”
Professor Li was immediately irked. “What, girl, you don’t believe me? Let me show you a photo!”
In order to snuff out Professor Li’s hopes, Ye Wanwan had no choice but to wave her hand fiercely and say, “No, no! I really don’t care about looks! I actually prefer them uglier since they feel safer…”
Ye Wanwan was trying her hardest to persuade Li Yan when she heard rustling footsteps from someone treading on fallen leaves.
Ye Wanwan automatically looked behind her and was shocked at first before her eyes shot wide open.
Si Yehan was wearing a bluish gray suit and was holding a large bouquet of fiery red roses as he walked toward her…
On this rare occasion, Si Yehan was wearing something other than black and he was holding a fiery bouquet, making his face more eye-catching than usual.
Ye Wanwan was nearly blinded from how dazzling he was. She was dumbfounded as she looked at him. “Ah… Ah-Jiu… why… why are you here?!”
