Chapter 127 - 127 Why Haven't You Resigned?

127 Why Haven’t You Resigned?

At the Huo family’s old residence.

Old Master Huo kept calling, but no one was picking up.

The butler watched as he put a coat on him.

“Master, are you still worried about the Young Master?”

Old Master Huo sighed. “That child is always in low spirits this time of the year, I’m afraid he’ll do something stupid. There’s also nobody by his side to save him.”

The butler hurriedly consoled him. “Young Master has matured a lot, he’ll learn to accept it. He’s already been much better these past two years. Didn’t the doctor say that he’ll be fine once he comes to terms with it?”

“I know that. I’m just afraid that his previous behavior was all an act. It’s also my fault for not having found them quicker back then, which caused his mother to pass away and him to turn out like this.”

The butler did not dare to say anything else.

“Continue calling until you have some concrete news.”

The butler nodded.

“Yes, Master.”

——————

Lu Ning looked somewhat unsettled during the morning, but after making a call she was all excited again; she even had two bowls of rice during lunch.

Shen Yunci looked upon her daughter’s strange behavior curiously.

It lasted until Huo Jinyan arrived in the evening.

The smile on Lu Ning’s face instantly disappeared.

???

Why is he here again?!

Shouldn’t he have resigned?!

Lu Ning had been quite worried about Huo Jinyan since the previous night; his behavior last night led Lu Ning to become afraid that he would not be able to hold on. Ultimately, she decided to call Lin Ci; she told her that she had seen Huo Jinyan today, but he did not attend English class.

He’s fine, but if he didn’t attend English class, wouldn’t that mean that he has resigned?!

Lu Ning was so elated that she ate two big bowls of rice in a row.

Truth be told, she had never regarded Huo Jinyan as a teacher from the very beginning. She subconsciously felt that Huo Jinyan would leave sooner or later, and she even thought that last night’s behavior was a precursor to his resignation.

However, as a result, when her food had just been digested, the person in question came again.

Not only did he not resign, but he also looked very normal, much like how he was before last night.

“…”

Lu Ning looked at Huo Jinyan, her eyes filled with despair.

Shen Yunci was afraid of disturbing their tuition, so she dragged Lu Zhi out.

Lu Qing did not leave. He kept standing there, but not long after, he received a call and went out.

Lu Ning stopped pretending. She slapped her book shut and looked at Huo Jinyan. “Teacher Huo, why are you here again?”

Huo Jinyan looked at her. “Why can’t I? My duty hasn’t been completed.”

Lu Ning: “Didn’t you resign? These duties have nothing to do with you anymore.”

Huo Jinyan looked up at her. “Who told you I resigned?”

“Then why haven’t you resigned?”

“Why would I resign?”

Lu Ning took a deep breath. “You were being so immoral last night. I can get you expelled in minutes.”

Huo Jinyan was not threatened at all. “And didn’t you give me, your teacher, a tight hug last night, as a student? So we’re even.”

Lu Ning: ???

How are they even?

“Not fair!”

Huo Jinyan put down his things and looked at her. “You want fairness? Then why don’t I hug you too?”

Lu Ning: “…”

“You’re a teacher. As a teacher, how can you say such things?”

Huo Jinyan looked at her face, red as a tomato, and did not say anything else. He just smiled.

“Hurry up and finish this question.”

Lu Ning: “…?”

No matter how angry she was, she still had to obediently do those questions while under his supervision. She had been happy over nothing today.

Huo Jinyan looked at her profile from the side with a slightly dazed expression. After looking at her for a long time, the corners of his lips curled up, and there was a certain determination in his eyes…
