The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

She immediately packed up her things and left.

Hai Xiaotang moved swiftly. Just as she stepped out of the classroom, a tall boy caught up to her.

“Hi, my name is Pei Hao. I’m from Architecture Design Class Two. Are you in Class One?”

Hai Xiaotang looked at the sunny boy with a clean smile in front of her, slightly taken aback. “Yes, I’m in Class One. Is there something you need?”

Pei Hao smiled lightly, “No, nothing in particular. I just thought you looked familiar and wanted to get to know you. What’s your name?”

When it came to matters of the heart, Hai Xiaotang was far more mature than what her age might suggest.

She came to this school to learn, not to get involved in a relationship.

Perhaps she didn’t even need any friendships.

“Sorry, I’m in a rush.” She walked around him and hurried away.

Realizing she had misunderstood him, Pei Hao caught up to explain, “You misunderstood me. I wasn’t implying anything. I honestly thought you looked familiar.”

“Your pick-up style is quite cliched.” Hai Xiaotang gave a light laugh and briskly walked away.

Pei Hao was stunned, then burst into laughter.

Although he didn’t have any particular feelings for Hai Xiaotang, just wanted to know her, he still felt hurt being rejected this way.

After all, he had never been ignored by a girl like this before. He was always the one girls were drawn to.

But Pei Hao didn’t mind. He watched Hai Xiaotang’s retreating figure, his eyes gleaming, as he caught up with her again.

“Look, I’ve been staring at you all day, but I can’t seem to remember where I might have seen you. Your demeanor reminds me of someone I know, that’s why I wanted to meet you. I don’t mean anything else.”

Just as Hai Xiaotang stepped out of the teaching building, she spotted Tao Yi not far off.

Tao Yi noticed her too and waved at her with a smile.

Hai Xiaotang also started laughing. She turned to Pei Hao, “I don’t think we’ll have any common ground, so it’s best we don’t get acquainted. Thanks for your kindness. Goodbye.”

Finishing her sentence, she ran towards Tao Yi.

Tao Yi was dressed in casual wear today. He had a robust, tall figure, and his handsome, straightforward appearance made many girls on the path unable to resist stealing glances at him.

On the other hand, many boys were eyeing the beautiful, elegant Hai Xiaotang…

When Hai Xiaotang ran to Tao Yi, many of the boys and girls couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

“Big Brother Tao, why are you here? Didn’t you promise to wait for me at the school gate?” Hai Xiaotang asked, smiling with confusion.

Tao Yi chuckled, “This is the only way to the school gate. I thought I’d see you earlier if I waited here.”

Hai Xiaotang giggled, “Have you been waiting long?”

Tao Yi crossed his arms, “Not that long. And I haven’t had enough time to enjoy your campus. It’s truly beautiful. Maybe you can show me around next time.”

“Sure.”

“Let’s go. The car’s this way.” Tao Yi offered to take her backpack.

Hai Xiaotang thanked him but politely declined.

Tao Yi, however, insisted and took her bag easily.

Hai Xiaotang’s bag was large and filled with books. It was heavy for her, but he carried it with ease.

As expected, a soldier is quite strong.

Meanwhile, not too far off, Pei Hao was still watching them leaving.

“Pei Hao, give it a rest. That girl’s clearly taken. You should stop daydreaming.” His classmate couldn’t resist nudging him a bit.
