The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Xiaoting naturally recognized Teacher Zhang’s car, but whose was the other one?

The car window rolled down slowly, revealing that stunningly handsome face.

Uncle? What was he also doing here?

“Why is Teacher Zhu here as well?” Xiaoting’s tone was somewhat cold.

Chu Liyuan glanced at her without responding and turned his gaze to Jian Dan, smiling at her.

Seeing that Zhu Rimen didn’t speak, Zhang Yang explained, “The principal arranged for Teacher Zhu to join us; having another teacher will be safer.”

“I see!” Xiaoting said, her voice laced with sarcasm.

“Alright, hurry and get in the car; we have quite a few places to go!”

Xiaoting and Ouyang Jing were the first to get in the car, with Xiaoting deliberately leaving the passenger seat open for Jian Dan.

“Jian, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get in!” Xiaoting called out when she saw Jian Dan wasn’t moving.

Jian Dan instinctively turned to look at Uncle.

It was clear from Uncle’s expression that he wanted her to get in his car.

“Xiaoting, with Teacher Zhu alone, it doesn’t seem right; I’ll go with him!” she said and then quickly settled into the passenger seat of Uncle’s car.

The moment Jian Dan chose to get in Teacher Zhu’s car, a hint of disappointment flashed in Zhang Yang’s eyes.

Seeing his lass get into his car, Chu Liyuan’s lips curled into a satisfied smile, and he affectionately stroked Jian Jian’s head with his hand.

He reached over from behind her to pull the seat belt, carefully buckling her in.

After securing the seatbelt, he held Jian Dan’s hand in his palm while the other hand gripped the steering wheel.

“Uncle, this car is…” it didn’t seem to Jian Dan that Uncle had this car before.

“Just bought it!”

“Ah?”

“This car fits a teacher’s image better!”

“True!” None of Uncle’s cars weren’t limited editions; driving those as a teacher would indeed be inappropriate!

“Uncle, so you’re going to the beach with us tomorrow too?”

“Mhm!”

“That’s great; it’s been so long since I’ve gone on a trip with Uncle!”

Chu Liyuan was very pleased with Jian Dan’s response…

Xiaoting in Zhang Yang’s car was feeling very gloomy at the moment and took out her phone to send a WeChat message to Jian Dan: ‘Jian, what’s going on? You actually got into Teacher Zhu’s car?’

Upon hearing the WeChat notification, Jian Dan opened the app and her expression stiffened for a moment: ‘Xiaoting, if all of us take Teacher Zhang’s car, it wouldn’t be nice, it’s like we’re isolating Teacher Zhu.’

‘Then why didn’t you ask Ouyang Jing to go over?’

‘You guys had already gotten in the car; it wouldn’t be nice to get out again, and Teacher Zhang might feel awkward. Don’t you think?’

‘But I always feel like that Teacher Zhu harbors ulterior motives toward you!’

‘Xiaoting, you’re overthinking it! You think you’re in a TV drama or what?

Alright already, stop being so paranoid!’

“Which little lass is the one who disapproves of me!” Uncle suddenly spoke up.

“Uncle, how did you know she disapproves of you?”

“Anyone with eyes should be able to see that!”

“Hehe~” Xiaoting’s expression indeed made it too obvious.

“She’s worried that you, a middle-aged married Uncle, might deceive me, that’s why she’s acting like this!”

Jian Dan’s words made Chu Liyuan’s expression darken in an instant.

A married middle-aged Uncle??

“Uncle, that look on your face, it’s a bit scary!

Uncle, Xiaoting is just a young girl; you won’t take it to heart, right?”

Chu Liyuan took a sharp turn into an off-ramp and brought the car to a stop, skillfully unbuckling his seat belt and leaning in close to Jian Dan.

Jian Dan clutched the seat belt in front of her tightly, leaning back, but there was only the car door behind her, so she couldn’t move back much.

Her heartbeat was racing faster and faster-

“Middle! Age! Uncle!” Uncle enunciated each word.

So Uncle was upset about that.

Jian Dan wrapped her arms around Chu Liyuan’s neck, her face breaking into a sweet smile, “I like Uncle just the way he is!”

Because of that one sentence from Jian Jian, all his irritation vanished in an instant..
