Hayden Crawford stood upstairs, watching Serena Sterling, and for a mont, he couldn’t bear to look away.
Serena was in the living room, teaching the old lady a few simple exercises. She playfully winked while holding a small ball, "Grandma, exercising with a ball is really fun. Let show you."
Serena tossed the small ball up, then straightened her chest. The ball quickly landed on the graceful curve of her youthful figure and slid down. She then kicked it up with her foot, turned her back, and with a charming push of her hips, popped the ball straight into the old lady’s arms.
The old lady caught the ball and laughed heartily, "This is so much fun! Co on, Beryl, let’s join in."
Hayden watched Serena, knowing she had a background in dance. She could easily handle any dance style, and when she was the campus beauty at T University, she led the cheerleaders and made everyone scream with excitent. Even at that ti, when he stood there watching her enchanting performance, he was her most devout admirer.
Now she casually moved a bit while teaching grandma exercises, but the youthful energy and playfulness were overwhelming. Hayden’s gaze wandered over her curvaceous figure. He had seen many won in shirt and pencil skirt outfits, but she was the most stunningly beautiful, without a doubt.
Just then, the old lady noticed Hayden upstairs, "Hayden, you’re up?"
Serena glanced up and imdiately saw Hayden standing upstairs. Today, he wore a handmade black suit. The expensive fabric was impeccably ironed, leaving no wrinkles. Handso and noble, he descended the carpeted stairs with an imposing presence, exuding an unapproachable coldness and aloofness.
Serena recalled what happened last night and quickly turned away awkwardly, avoiding his gaze.
Hayden approached, "Grandma, why are you up so early?"
"It’s not early. Serena said if I sleep early, get up early, and exercise early, I can live to be 99," the old lady smiled.
Hayden observed his now-energetic grandma and slowly curved his thin lips. Then, he focused his gaze on Serena.
The old lady wittily suggested with a smile, "Hayden, Serena needs to attend the dical forum. Why don’t you drive her there?"
"No need..." Serena quickly refused.
Hayden nodded, "Alright."
With that, he gently took hold of Serena’s delicate hand, grabbed the car keys, and led her out.
As they walked to the luxury Rolls-Royce Phantom, Serena quickly withdrew her hand, "I can go by myself. You should head to the office."
Hayden, gentlemanly, opened the passenger door and commanded, "Get in."
Knowing his domineering nature, Serena understood that if it dragged on, she’d be late, so she obediently got into the car.
Then Hayden reached out and lightly patted her charming hip.
Serena froze entirely. What was he doing?
She imdiately turned, glaring at him with her clear, dark eyes.
With one hand in his pocket, Hayden looked every bit the refined business elite. He raised a heroic eyebrow and softly murmured in a voice only the two could hear, "Dressed like that to entice whom? Or are you thinking of riding in another man’s car?"
"..."
Serena looked herself over. How was she dressed inappropriately? What exactly was on his mind?
...
Today was a significant day for the Aethelgard dical community, as all the top figures attended the peak forum because of the first public appearance of Prof. Sterling. The forum gained imnse attention.
Outside the hall, a sea of dia reporters had gathered. Just then, soone exclaid, "Look, Academician Qiu is here!"
In a mont, all eyes turned as Academician Qiu walked the red carpet.

The microphones were thrust at Academician Qiu for an interview.
Without breaking his stride, he glanced at the cara, "Yes, Serena Sterling is my protégé X. Due to certain reasons, Serena’s records have been sealed, known by few. At 12, Serena was admitted to A University, and by 15, she beca a dual postdoc there. She and Zane are our two legends at A University.

Just then, a clear and lodious voice ca from behind, "Professor."
