Upon hearing Su Hua's words, the students couldn't help but start gossiping.
"What's going on? President Su said the password for the card is Lin Xuan's birthday... President Su knows Lin Xuan's birthday, and even specifically set the bank card password to it? And she personally delivered the card? What kind of idol drama plot is this?"
"This... this... I have a bold theory: President Su and Lin Xuan are together."
"They're a couple? That seems unlikely. President Su is older than Lin Xuan. Maybe her secretary set the password."
"Right, I think that's the reason. Anyway, there's no way they could be together. The idea of them being a couple is simply unbelievable."
Most people shared the same thought.
Impossible. They absolutely could not be a couple.
"Thank you, President Su," Lin Xuan said with a nod.
Wang Dahe clicked his tongue.
"Looks like Xuanzi and President Su are putting on a show again."
The two of them sure had a lot of tricks up their sleeves.
Lin Xuan reached to take the red envelope from Su Hua's hand.
Just as his hand touched it, Su Hua deliberately and lightly scratched his palm.
Her movement was very gentle.
Lin Xuan felt as if a feather had brushed across his palm, sending a tingling, ticklish sensation.
The scene from the National University Computer Team Competition flashed in Lin Xuan's mind.
The situation that day was similar to today's.
When Hua Bao was awarding him his prize, in front of a national audience but hidden from the cameras, she had secretly scratched his palm.
Lin Xuan wasn't very comfortable with intimate contact with Su Hua in front of so many people.
He felt like he was being watched like a monkey in a zoo.
"Ahem—" Lin Xuan coughed and swiftly put the red envelope away.
He stood properly to the side.
"Thank you for the gift, President Su."
Lin Xuan offered another formal, somewhat performative thank you.
Just as he was about to leave, Su Hua suddenly leaned close to Lin Xuan's ear. In a voice only the two of them could hear, she whispered, "Ah Xuan, I'll pick you up after school."
All the students were watching every move Su Hua and Lin Xuan made, their eyes filled with excitement and curiosity.
President Su was acting really close to Lin Xuan.
Either President Su was interested in Lin Xuan,
or the two of them already had something going on.
Lin Xuan was so outstanding, so handsome and cool. It was normal for President Su to like him.
After speaking, Su Hua took a step back, putting distance between herself and Lin Xuan.
She raised an eyebrow and said, "Student Lin Xuan, this hickey on your neck was left by your girlfriend, right? It's quite a nice bite mark."
Whoosh!
Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Lin Xuan's neck.
Sure enough, there was a reddish bite mark there.
It was just in a rather inconspicuous spot.
If you didn't look carefully, you might not even notice it.
The female students felt their hearts shatter.
The students who had just become fans of the Lin Xuan-Su Hua ship wilted on the spot.
Lin Xuan had a girlfriend? Didn't that mean it would be very difficult for President Su and him to become a pair...
Lin Xuan's ears turned slightly red.
He shot a resentful look at a certain young woman.
Hua Bao really knew how to bring up the most awkward topics.
Was a hickey on the neck something to mention in front of so many people?
"President Su, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
Without waiting for Su Hua's reply, Lin Xuan quickly left the stage.
The reason he bolted so fast was he was worried he might hear some other ambiguous comment from Hua Bao's mouth.
Watching Lin Xuan's retreating figure, a trace of amusement flashed in Su Hua's eyes.
Teasing Ah Xuan was quite fun sometimes.
Jiang Qing frowned deeply.
She had thought President Su would use the lecture to publicly claim Young Master Lin.
But in the end, she just gave him an award and made some slightly ambiguous gestures? That was it?
She strongly suspected President Su had a particular quirk: she enjoyed the feeling of secretly flirting with Young Master Lin while their relationship remained hidden...
The principal walked up and asked respectfully, "President Su, is there anything else you'd like to say?"
"Nothing more," Su Hua shook her head.
Her purpose for coming to give this lecture today was her Ah Xuan.
Now that the lecture was over, there was naturally nothing left to say.
"Alright."
The principal picked up the microphone and announced, "President Su has given us such a lengthy and insightful speech today. When you return, you must remember it well and study it diligently."
"Today's lecture ends here. Everyone, please return to your classrooms for lessons."
The people in the auditorium began to disperse.
Chen Ling was the last among the students to leave. From a distance, she glared at Su Hua.
That hickey must have been left by Su Hua.
She was afraid people wouldn't know about her ambiguous relationship with Brother Lin Xuan, so she deliberately pointed it out in front of everyone!
It must be that Brother Lin Xuan wanted to hide his relationship with this vixen.
So this vixen found every possible excuse to let people discover their relationship.
So scheming!
No way!
She had to tell Brother Lin Xuan about this, make him see through the vixen's true colors.
Thinking this,
Chen Ling quickly ran to catch up with Lin Xuan.
Luo Yuan and Wang Dahe vigilantly stretched out their arms to block Chen Ling.
"What do you want?" Wang Dahe said in a very unfriendly tone.
This Chen Ling had a crush on Xuanzi; he had to guard against her.
Chen Ling bit her lip and said, "I have something to discuss with Brother Lin Xuan."
Wang Dahe frowned. "Since you're looking for Xuanzi, say what you need to say. And talk from there, don't get so close."
Hmph.
Trying to get close to Xuanzi? With him here, Chen Ling's plans wouldn't succeed.
Chen Ling gritted her teeth and glanced around.
There were so many people here.
If she said it directly, they would definitely find out about Brother Lin Xuan and that vixen being together.
Wouldn't that be exactly what the vixen wanted?
Chen Ling's eyes reddened, putting on a pitiful, lovable expression. "Brother Lin Xuan, I have something urgent to discuss with you. It's related to my dad."
Lin Xuan's brow furrowed tightly.
If it were about anything else, he wouldn't get involved. But this concerned the orphanage director...
"Fine, I'll go with you," Lin Xuan nodded.
Chen Ling's heart leapt with joy.
But then Lin Xuan added, "However, Wang Dahe and Luo Yuan will come with me."
Hua Bao was still on campus.
If he were alone with Chen Ling, Hua Bao would definitely find out.
If Hua Bao got jealous, his kidneys would be done for again.
So, he absolutely had to avoid being alone with Chen Ling.
Chen Ling had a feeling Wang Dahe and Luo Yuan would ruin her plans.
"But, it's about my dad. Outsiders shouldn't know," Chen Ling said, biting her lip.
Lin Xuan said, "Dahe is also from the orphanage, and he has a good relationship with the director too. Him being there shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Wang Dahe nodded vigorously.
Right, he should definitely be present!
