The relationship between me and Qi Yu is quietly changing.

He would personally drop me off at school and then to the office every morning.

In the afternoon, even if he didn't get off work, he would let the driver pick me up first.

Actually, I could have taken the subway back by myself.

But I enjoyed being taken care of by him.

After class, I was in a hurry to go home, and I was entangled by Fang Yizhou again.

"Zhou Miaomiao, where do you live? I've got a car to take you."

"No thanks." I politely declined.

As if he hadn't heard, Fang Yizhou continued, "I'm very skilled."

I stopped abruptly and looked at the figure at the entrance of the campus in amazement.

After a moment, I rushed to him.

"Qi Yu, why are you here?"

I tried my best to suppress the joy in my heart, not wanting to be seen by him.

He raised his hand to pull up a strand of hair in front of my ear, and his natural and skillful demeanor made my heart tighten.

"I'll pick you up, and we'll go to a party together."

"Okay."

The flickering lights in the hall and the smiling faces of people made me feel difficult to breathe.

It's been a long, long time since I've been to a banquet like this.

He seemed to sense something, rubbing the back of my hand.

He said, "Don't be afraid."

My restless heart was soothed.

"Mr. Qi."

The man stepped forward and talked to Qi Yu.

He said to me, "Go get something to eat, and I'll come to you later."

The man smiled, "Mr. Qi is so caring to his wife."

My mood was as sweet as eating a marshmallow.

I went to the buffet and picked up a piece of cake, and a female voice sounded behind me.

"You are Zhou Miaomiao?"

I looked back and saw three girls looking at me with contempt.

Before I could speak, they sarcastically said, "It doesn't look good."

"Hey, how did you seduce Qi Yu to marry you?"

I didn't want to cause trouble for Qi Yu because of the quarrel, so I turned around and left.

They grabbed my arm and wouldn't let me go.

"Where are you going?" I ask you what to say."

Waiters holding champagne passed by, and one of the women deliberately pushed and shoved.

Wine instantly spilled on my dress.

A few girls laughed and attracted the attention of the people around them.

I lowered my eyes and buttoned my nails in a careless manner.

Suddenly, I was pulled into a familiar embrace.

Qi Yu encircled me in a protective posture.

Masashi snapped, "Please apologize to my wife."

They were still laughing out loud just now, and suddenly restrained their smiles.

"Don't you want to cooperate with my Qi family?"

Their faces turned pale, and one by one they bowed and apologized to me.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mrs. Qi."

"Get out." Qi Yu said coldly.

The first time I saw Qi Yu angry, he was usually gentle and polite to people, but with a faint sense of alienation.

I raised my eyes to look at him and said sincerely, "Qi Yu, thank you."

For the first time since I was a child, someone stood firmly behind me and defended me.

When I had a conflict with someone, whether it was right or wrong, my parents would pressure me to apologize to the other person.

They are only worried that because I have offended people and lost their interests.

Qi Yu hugged me tightly in his arms, "Good, it's okay, I will always protect you."

My eyes blurred, and a tear fell down his shoulder and vanished.

I knew very well that I had fallen.

It's about to get off work, and I received a notice from the group saying that tomorrow's Teacher's Day, the teachers of the Chinese group will have a dinner together.

I don't really want to go, but I can't shirk the necessary socialization.

The location was set in a five-star hotel, and it was quite a bloody ......

I don't want to drag the last person alone with everyone.

Pushing open the private room door, I paused.

How did it look like a marriage proposal scene, I thought I had gone to the wrong private room, and I was about to turn around and leave.

I heard a colleague call me, "Teacher Zhou Miaomiao."

"Come in."

I took a few steps forward and saw the whole picture, pink balloons, flower petals, and the eyes of the audience were looking at me.

I suddenly felt bad in my heart, and sure enough, in the next second, Fang Yizhou knelt down to me with a bouquet of flowers.

Before he could speak, I bowed and said "I'm sorry" and ran out.

My disgust for the other boat rose to its peak.

I don't understand how anyone can be so thick-skinned.

The next day, I saw my colleague's strange gaze at me and the way he wanted to speak.

I didn't pay much attention to it, I guess that's the reason for yesterday's farce.

A few days later I was called to the office by the principal.

He said straight to the point: "Teacher Zhou Miaomiao, now the school is spreading about your being adopted, do you have anything to explain?"

"Custody?"

My eyebrows were twisted, how could such a nonsensical thing come about.

"Headmaster, I was married when I entered the school."

He paused and continued: "Teacher Fang Yizhou said that he saw you get on a luxury car with his own eyes, and then some colleagues said that they often saw the luxury car that picked you up at the school gate."

"Is it possible that the headmaster is my own car?"

Although Qi Yu bought it, I silently added in my heart.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Go back first, we'll find out."

I nodded and went out to Fang Yizhou's office.
