The mont he said that,
everyone furrowed their brows simultaneously,
almost believing they had heard wrong.
What did Wei Jiang call Xu Wendong?
Dean?
Was he mistaking him for soone else?
Ding Qian also said, "Honey, he’s Ding Yao’s boyfriend, are you sure you’re not mistaken?"
But unexpectedly, Wei Jiang didn’t pay her any mind and walked straight up to Xu Wendong, enthusiastically extending his hands to tightly shake his, exclaiming excitedly, "Dean Xu, I’m Wei Jiang from the College of Traditional Chinese dicine. I had the privilege of attending one of your lectures at our school before!"
Xu Wendong suddenly understood, "Oh, that’s why you looked familiar earlier."
Alright then.
Xu Wendong didn’t actually find Wei Jiang familiar at all, saying that was just to save face for him.
Xu Wendong had been an honorary lecturer in the Traditional Chinese dicine Departnt at the Provincial dical University. However, a few days ago, he received a call from the school inviting him to be the honorary dean of the Traditional Chinese dicine Departnt.
"What? He’s the honorary dean of your departnt?" Ding Qian gasped, her eyes filled with shock.
And it wasn’t just her.
Everyone looked at Xu Wendong equally astonished, clearly unable to imagine how soone so young could beco the honorary dean of the Traditional Chinese dicine Departnt.
It was an unparalleled honor!
Ding Yao also looked at Xu Wendong in disbelief, not expecting him to have such a title.
Not to ntion anything else, just this title was sothing many people couldn’t achieve even with a lifeti of effort.
Wei Jiang excitedly said, "Dean Xu’s dical skills are well-known, without a doubt a figure of towering importance in our departnt. I never imagined we were also brothers-in-law."
Ding Qian felt utterly disgusted, as if she’d swallowed a bitter pill. She had always competed with Ding Yao since childhood, comparing studies, comparing looks, thinking she had finally found a capable husband to hold her head high.
But who would have thought,
that even her own husband had to courteously call Xu Wendong "Dean"?
And even highly praised his dical skills.
It was incredibly frustrating!
Ding Zhicheng also started to look more favorably at Xu Wendong. Initially, he was worried Xu Wendong wouldn’t have a decent job, but now it seed he was overthinking.
Not to ntion anything else, just having the title of honorary dean of a dical school was enough to make him, an "old father-in-law," feel proud.
At this mont,
Ding Yao’s mother peeked her head out from the kitchen and said, "Yao Yao, your Aunt Chen is here. Hurry downstairs to welco her!"
"Aunt Chen is here?" Ding Yao was elated and imdiately said, "I’ll go downstairs right away." With that, she quickly grabbed her coat, changed her shoes, and headed downstairs.
Just as Xu Wendong was chatting idly with Ding Family’s relatives, the door opened and Ding Yao entered with a beautiful young woman.
Everyone got up to greet her and exchanged pleasantries.
Ding Yao’s mother, especially excited, ca out from the kitchen and gave her good friend a warm hug, as they hadn’t seen each other for a long ti.
However,
when Xu Wendong saw "Aunt Chen," he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his pupils filled with deep astonishnt.
How could it be her?
This was clearly Xiao Ruyan!
How did she beco Aunt Chen?
Can soone tell what on earth is going on?
Xu Wendong never thought he’d et Xiao Ruyan here, it was sothing he never imagined even in his dreams.
Similarly,
when Xiao Ruyan saw Xu Wendong, she showed a look of shock, almost thinking she was seeing an illusion.
Ding Yao didn’t notice their emotions and smiled, "Aunt Chen, let introduce you. He’s Xu Wendong, my boyfriend!"
Xiao Ruyan flashed a smile, "Doctor Xu and I are old acquaintances!"
"You know each other?" Ding Yao looked completely surprised, as did the others, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.
Before Xiao Ruyan could speak, Xu Wendong’s voice rang out, "I got to know Aunt Chen when I went to Qingshan Village as a resident doctor. She was volunteering there as a teacher!"
Everyone felt at ease, marveling at the incredible coincidence of fate.
Later, Xiao Ruyan went into the kitchen and chatted briefly with Ding Yao’s mother, while Xu Wendong sat uneasily in the living room listening to the elders chat.
He had never imagined he would run into Xiao Ruyan here. It left him a bit unsure of how to face her.
"Wendong, co over here for a mont!" Ding Yao ca to the living room, pulled Xu Wendong aside, and whispered, "Aunt Chen isn’t feeling well. She’s in my bedroom now. Could you check on her?"
"Alright." Without thinking, Xu Wendong headed to Ding Yao’s bedroom door, politely knocked before entering, and then closed the door behind him.
At that mont, Xiao Ruyan was sitting in front of the dressing table, smiling at him with an intriguing expression on her face. "What a coincidence!" she said.
Xu Wendong responded with an awkward smile, "It is quite the coincidence."
Then he turned the conversation and couldn’t help but ask, "By the way, how should I address you?"
He was certain,
Xiao Ruyan wasn’t her real na.
And his question decided their future relationship.
It made him inexplicably nervous.
After all, she was his soulmate, being with her truly made him feel relaxed and happy.
Xiao Ruyan smiled broadly, "A na is just a label. Call whatever you used to call ."
Her simple words made Xu Wendong breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiao Ruyan ant that she didn’t mind about him and Ding Yao, that they were still soulmates.
In fact, for Xiao Ruyan, ever since she decided to be with Xu Wendong, she had ntally prepared herself, not expecting to walk hand in hand with him until old age. All she wanted was a soulful connection.
She was also prepared to accept that Xu Wendong might have other won.
Xiao Ruyan asked, "Are you free tomorrow noon?"
Xu Wendong cautiously asked, "To your ho?"
Xiao Ruyan nodded, "Yes."
"Alright, I’ll go ho with you tomorrow noon!" Xu Wendong agreed imdiately, then asked, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Xiao Ruyan put down her phone, smiling, "No, I’m not unwell. It’s just too crowded and noisy outside, so I thought I’d find an excuse to bring you in here to chat."
Xu Wendong let out a sigh, "Honestly, I don’t really feel like chatting with you."
Xiao Ruyan frowned, "Then what do you want to do?"
"I want to sleep with you." Xu Wendong didn’t hide his inner desire, his eyes shining with a touch of intensity. Xiao Ruyan was his soulmate; every ti he was with her, he couldn’t control his urges.
Xiao Ruyan was taken aback, a blush rising to her cheeks. "This is your girlfriend’s room. Are you sure you want to sleep with here?"
"Aren’t you afraid your girlfriend might walk in on us while we’re making love?"
Her simple words doused the flas in Xu Wendong’s heart. While doing such things in Ding Yao’s room would be exciting, it also carried significant risks.
And just then, his phone rang.
Seeing the number on the screen, Xu Wendong suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation.
