bill, only taking the bottle of red wine given to Xiao Tu as a meeting gift.Leaving the restaurant, he called a driver because he had been drinking. Then, holding the inebriated An Xiaotu, he got int...Chapter 12: From Childhood to Adulthood

"Tang Tong, have you eaten lunch yet" An Xiaotu asked politely, then introduced, "This is Teacher An Pingting, she's new today; Teacher An Pingting, this is Tang Sxiu, a student in my class."

Tang Si Xiu didn't even bother to lift an eyelid when An Xiaotu introduced him to An Pingtong.

A pair of captivating phoenix eyes stared straight at An Xiaotu. Her perfect lips curved into a warm and elegant smile, her tone both graceful and imposing, yet carrying an undeniable air of authority:

"Ms. Xiaotu, didn't you say yesterday that you were going to treat me to a meal Then let's make it this Sunday."

He had planned for Friday, but a text message made him change his mind.

"Huh" His words startled An Xiaotu. She came to herself and said, "Sorry, Tang classmate, I have something to do on Sunday."

"Teacher Xiaotu, you wouldn't be refusing to treat me to a meal is why you're saying that, would you" Tang Xiu asked with a hint of questioning and a faint smile.

An Xiaotu was speechless for a moment, feeling it wasn't necessary to explain to him that she was going to meet Tang Yucheng's parents. She simply said, "I really have something to do this weekend, Tang classmate, maybe you could pick another time"

Since Tang Xiu saw that she didn't dodge the invitation to dinner, he believed that she really had something to do.

After a few moments of silence, he said, "Then this coming Friday."

"Okay, I have time on Friday." An Xiaotù nodded in agreement.

Then, the waiter brought Tang Xiu's lunch.

Anne Pingting ate her lunch quietly, not minding being treated as invisible. Instead, she silently watched Tang Shuxiu and An Xiaotu chat idly with each other.

An Gou's lips curled into a cold smile: "I didn't expect the young master of the Tang family, R country's first aristocratic family, to actually like An Xiaotu..."

At lunchtime, half way through her meal, An Xiaotu's phone suddenly rang. She picked up the phone to see that it was a call from Tang Yucheng:

"Hello, is there something" she asked.

"Have you eaten" The man's voice was cold and low.

"Having lunch at the campus cafeteria, what about you"

"Ate." A voice as bland yet pleasing as ever.

Tang Yucheng spoke very little. After chatting for a few more sentences, they ended the call.

------------------------------------

The next day.

Just as school let out for the day, a delivery guy appeared at the office door like clockwork. "Excuse me, is this Ms. An Xiaotu"

"Me!" An Xiaotu raised a hand, "Is there anything"

"Here's your delivery, please sign for it." The dashing delivery guy said, placing a takeout order on her desk.

"Wait a minute... I didn't order takeout, did I Did you get the wrong address" An Xiaotu looked at the sign of the five-star luxury hotel - Di Ting Hotel, her face full of bewilderment.

"Correct, it was a Mr. Tang who placed the order."

Before the delivery guy could finish his words, An Xiaotu's phone rang. As soon as she saw the caller ID, she immediately knew who had ordered this takeout.

"Have you received the takeout I ordered for you" Tang Yucheng asked calmly over the phone.

"Just arrived." An Xiaotu answered truthfully.

"Well, I guess we won't have to eat at the school cafeteria anymore."

An Xiaotu received the takeout and after sending off the delivery guy, she said, "That... you don't have to order me such expensive takeout in the future."

"I can afford to keep you." His domineering tone carried a hint of dominance, and he added, "You're too thin, eat something nutritious."

"Where did I lose weight" An Xiaotu pinched her waist and said unconvinced.

"Chest."

An Xiaotu almost choked on his answer. She was a 34C, the most perfect cup size for an Asian woman, where was she small Where

You wouldn't think this man was so lively and talkative under normal circumstances, but he's a real wild card.

She angrily said, “I don’t know who tricked and coerced me into marrying you back then, complaining that I have a small chest. Find someone with a bigger one.”

"But I like childhood sweethearts," he said, implying it deeply.

"What" asked Little White Rabbit in a daze.

"It's nothing, I was busy."

After saying that, without waiting for An Xiaotu to speak, he hung up the phone.

An Xiaotu put away her phone somewhat dejectedly and started unpacking the takeout.

It was her favorite seafood set meal, with both meat and vegetarian options. It looked very appetizing, and the aroma alone made one's mouth water. There was also soup, after-dinner dessert, and fruit...

It's simply incredibly rich and luxurious.

"Wow, Teacher An is really living it up today!" Yuling Zhen remarked when she returned to the office after class and saw her desk piled high with takeout from Di Ting Restaurant.

An Xiaotu beckoned to her and said, "Someone ordered this. I can't finish it alone. Teacher Yu, if you don't mind, let's eat together."

In this office, she has the best relationship with Teacher Jade; you know, Teacher Jade used to give her a few lessons.

"Haha, I'd rather not. If I ate you, I wouldn't be full later." Jade Ling chuckled and refused.

"No, it's okay." An Xiaotu got up and pulled her over, placing a set of bowls and chopsticks in front of her. "Eat together, if I can't finish it alone, it would be a waste."

"Then I won't be polite." Teacher Yu Lingzhen saw that she had said so, and she couldn't refuse any longer.

An Xiaotu was eating when she recalled Tang Yucheng suddenly saying, "I like childhood sweethearts," on the phone earlier. So she asked Yu Lingzhen across from her:

"By the way, Teacher Yu, a friend of mine came to me and said that a man she was talking to suddenly said to her, 'I like childhood sweethearts.' Do you know what he means"

"Tell me first what they talked about I'll analyze it for you." Teacher Yu said calmly.

“Um…” An Xiaotu hesitated for a moment before saying, “The man said my friend was too skinny. My friend asked him where she was thin Where Then the man said her chest. I guess he angered my friend. The man then added, ‘But I like childhood sweethearts…’”

Yuling Zhen, upon hearing this, burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha~ Your friend got teased by that man."

"How were you teased" An Xiaotu asked with a naive face.

"Teacher An, what is childhood sweethearts" Yu Lingzhen countered.

"Two boys and girls who played together from childhood should be like this, right"

Jade Lingzhen saw her explaining the meaning of childhood sweetheart with such seriousness, but she understood its implication. She could only explain it straightforwardly to her:

That man said your friend has small breasts, and then he said he likes childhood sweethearts. The subtext is: Although you have small breasts, I like someone I've grown up with.

She said this while putting on a nonchalant expression, reaching out to An Xiaotu's chest and pretending to touch her breasts.

An Xiaotu was still stunned for a few seconds before she reacted.

My face flushed instantly, I almost couldn't help but swear: Damn it, teasing, blatant teasing! He looked so serious and upright on the surface, but underneath he was such a scoundrel, such a smoldering rogue.l in Country R for life. Two months later, An Pingting regained consciousness and found herself in a mental hospital. That was the true meaning of being unable to live or die, worse than death! "When...
