The next day.

As usual, Fu Nuan went to school to work. He spent the entire day thinking about how he had promised his father last night that he would marry a stranger that he had never met.

But —

Although she spoke with confidence, her heart was still in a daze.

Before getting off work, teachers were invited to a dinner at Jinyuanlou near the school because the department's associate professor had passed his doctorate examination.

Fu Nuan originally wanted to shirk responsibility, but he was unable to endure An Zhu's enthusiasm. When she regained her senses, she had already forcefully pulled him into the private room, but he was still as absent-minded as before.

Just as the atmosphere became lively, the door to the room was once again opened.

Originally, no one paid much attention to it, but after the associate professor, a new Director Rong walked in.

In an instant, the table was in complete silence.

Fu Nuan followed everyone's gaze and looked over, only to see the tall and handsome figure of the man.

Doubt arose in his heart: Would he come to such an occasion? If he had known he would come, he wouldn't have come.

In this room, before Fu Nuan could adjust his expression, the female teachers around were eager to give up their seats, while the other male teachers also subconsciously lowered their heads and greeted him.

"Director Rong is here, please take a seat."

"Good morning, Director Rong."

Looking at this scene, Rong Yu gave a faint smile. After he sat down, he said in a casual tone, "Everyone, do as you please. Don't be so restrained just because of me."

After saying so, everyone burst into laughter, but —

In the end, he no longer had that casual attitude from before.

In that extremely quiet moment, Fu Nuan lowered his head and used his chopsticks to poke at the food on his plate that had no appetite, when he heard a man's voice from the other side that was neither warm nor cold — —

"Teacher Fu Nuan, have you recovered?"

At that moment, everyone at the table was filled with surprise.

Fu Nuan felt that many pairs of eyes were looking at her with burning passion, but he was speechless: Why do I have to talk to her in such a crowded place, she doesn't want to be the center of attention!

She could only bite the bullet and avoid the weird looks on the surrounding people, shaking her head, "Thank you Director Rong for your concern, I'm fine now."

As soon as he finished speaking, An Zhu, who was beside him, had a face full of suspicion. He went close to Fu Nuan's ear and whispered: "Fu Nuan, are you sick?"

"Yeah, it's fine now."

Then, he heard An Zhu mutter: "How does Director Rong know you're sick?"

Fu Nuan, "..."

Regarding this, she chose to remain silent.

After that, the atmosphere became even quieter, so quiet that no one dared to breathe.

Maybe Rong Yu felt the surrounding atmosphere, as her lips slightly perked, and opened her mouth leisurely: "Right now is not the working time, so everyone is just casually getting along like friends. If the atmosphere were to turn cold again, I would have ruined the assistant professor's mood. "

Hearing this, the crowd no longer felt awkward anymore.

After hearing the words "friends get along", the most excited person would naturally be An Zhu, as she had long coveted the "gold medal professor".

"Director Rong, you said just now that you are friends. Can I ask you a few questions?"

Hearing that, Rong Yu smirked, and with a smile, he agreed.

"Director Rong, do you have a wife?"

Rong Yu seemed to have already guessed that there would be a similar question, and calmly raised his eyes to sweep across it, but his gaze actually intentionally or unintentionally stopped on Fu Nuan's body.

"Nope."

"Then does Director Rong have a girlfriend?"

Rong Yu replied again, "No."

Immediately, An Zhu's eyes lit up, but before she could ask "Director Rong, what do you like", the man's low and hoarse voice sounded again.

"But I'm going to be married soon."

After saying this, the room once again became silent. In an instant, Fu Nuan raised her head and stared fixedly into the man's pair of dark eyes.

However, in just a moment, he quickly lowered his head and hid behind the back of the chair even more. He thought to himself, "He is actually going to be married!" Then before that, he was still following her …

The more Fu Nuan thought about it, the more resentful she became. The only fortunate thing was that nothing happened again with the man in the apartment. Otherwise, wouldn't she be even more guilty?

The meal that followed was ended by Fu Nuan lowering his head in silence.

After they left Jinju Building, teachers who had a car on their way left with teachers who wanted to take a ride.

It just so happened that Fu Nuan took the car to take care of it. Originally, he wanted to take a ride with An Zhu, but looking at the car, An Zhu had already taken a few teachers who were familiar with each other.

Just as she was considering whether she should just follow the crowd, she saw a familiar black car slowly pull to a stop. The man in the car raised his arm and leaned against the window as he asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to take a ride with me?"

Rong Yu saw that Fu Nuan was the only one left standing, Mn, that's right, he was asking despite knowing the answer.

Fu Nuan was about to reject, but An Zhu stuck his head out and interrupted, "Yes, yes, there is! Director Rong, can I trouble you to send Teacher Fu Nuan back? We'll be leaving first! "

With that, An Zhu drove off in a hurry.

Fu Nuan was startled, did he really leave her here alone?

After being betrayed by her teammates, she barely managed to turn around. With an ugly expression, she refused the man who wore a smile that was not a smile:

"There's no need to trouble the Prof. Rong. I'll take a taxi back myself."

However —

"Trouble? Along the way, no trouble at all. "

With that, the man reached out his hand to open the passenger door. He cast a glance at the woman, who was in distress and did not dare to raise her eyes. He said softly, "Are you still not going to get on the car?"

Fu Nuan bit his lips, his heart full of helplessness.

But in the dead of night, wouldn't it be too much of an act if she didn't get on the car?

He held in his anger and got into the car without looking at the man. He closed the door and said the name subconsciously, as if he was taking a taxi.

"I live here …"

"I know, I've been there."

The words that came after was interrupted by the man. It sounded like it was unintentional, but it was an obvious reminder to Fu Nuan of what happened between the two of them in her apartment building.

In her mind, she couldn't help but think of that scene from back then …

Gritting his teeth in hatred, he had done the most wrong thing in his life – not to get to know that trash, Jiang Yucheng, but to bed with this dangerous man next to him!

He didn't expect the other party to be someone on the verge of having an owner.

Fu Nuan's heart was filled with a complex feeling, a burst of anger seemed to come out of nowhere. He immediately turned his head, his eyebrows knitted together as he stared at the cold side view under the dim light, and asked with a questioning tone: "Does Director Rong have a fiancee?"

Hearing this, the man's expression didn't change. His gaze was still fixated on the road ahead. His thin lips lightly said, "It can't be said."

These words made Fu Nuan even more annoyed. Some did, some did not, what did it mean that it couldn't be said?

She took a deep breath, turned her head towards the window to calm her expression, and when she spoke again, her words were as if she was trying her best —

"Since the Director Rong already has a fiancee, then we should keep a safe distance from other females."

The car slowed to a stop at the red light at the intersection in front of them.

At this time, Rong Yu turned his head, his gaze looking at the lady beside him. His pretty eyebrows were raised, his lower jaw slightly raised, and the corner of his mouth curved into a smile.

"You mean the distance between us isn't safe, huh?"
