117: Chapter 117 Stay!

Seeing that it was finally over,

Bai Ye spoke up to take his leave.

"Teacher Huang Chen, it's getting late. I need to get back to school to rest."

Guan Shu also said,

"Then I'll head back to school as well."

Teacher Huang Chen actually had a very cunning smile on his face.

"Forget it, it's already so late, past ten o'clock."

"It wouldn't be very safe for the two of you to head back to school now."

"Stay here overnight today, alright?"

Teacher Huang Chen looked at Bai Ye.

"Don't worry, I've already had the rooms prepared."

"You can just go upstairs."

Bai Ye was dumbfounded.

Wait, what exactly does this mean?

Now he finally realized what the other party was trying to do.

No wonder it was just a trivial matter that could have been settled in the office with a few words.

Teacher Huang Chen insisted on having him come over and have dinner at home.

Moreover, he spoke so leisurely, as if stalling for something, resulting in a meal that lasted nearly three hours and only finished now at ten o'clock.

So, it was all to provoke An Tianjiao!

Indeed, Bai Ye was very clear in his heart; he wasn't someone without self-awareness.

He knew it was impossible for Teacher Huang Chen to let him and Guan Shu stay together at this time; that would be too unreliable.

What he wanted to do was create the fact that neither of them had returned home tonight.

Once An Tianjiao found out, she would surely be devastated!

After all, if An Tianjiao knew her roommate was staying out all night with a man...

...she would definitely feel miserable for a long time.

Teacher Huang Chen was indeed a cunning adult, using this method to subtly pressure her.

At the same time, he expressed his concern for his daughter.

However, there was one thing he hadn't considered, and that was Bai Ye.

What if Bai Ye insisted on leaving?

Now the problem fell on Bai Ye.

What exactly should he do?

Bai Ye was now thinking seriously; to be honest, he didn't know what to do either.

But after thinking it over seriously, he made a decision.

A man certainly couldn't wimp out.

If he said he wanted to return to campus today, it would be a total disaster.

Of course, while that's what he thought, he couldn't make it too obvious on the surface, so he spoke with a hint of hesitation.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"I feel like I'm imposing on you too much."

Teacher Huang Chen said, "It's fine. Our villa is very spacious with plenty of guest rooms. Don't worry about it."

This was exactly the sentence Bai Ye was waiting for. After hearing it, he nodded seriously.

"Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony."

Teacher Huang Chen then said to Guan Shu,

"Alright, it's late. Time to rest."

"Take Bai Ye to see his room."

Guan Shu, of course, understood her mother's intention and had already been feeling quite embarrassed.

She tried her best to calm her emotions and then led Bai Ye upstairs.

Watching their departing figures, a look of relief finally appeared in Teacher Huang Chen's eyes.

"Very good, my efforts haven't been in vain."

Teacher Huang Chen had long wanted to recruit this young man, Bai Ye.

There was no chance during the summer vacation, but now that he had finally enrolled...

...Teacher Huang Chen had his chance!

Plus, Bai Ye's performance today was simply too shocking and impressive.

Teacher Huang Chen became even more determined in his resolve to win Bai Ye over!

Such an excellent, top-tier son-in-law wasn't someone just anyone could secure.

If someone else snatched him away, he might regret it for twenty years and still not find anyone better.

The only concern was his own girl.

Although Guan Shu seemed like the type who could easily handle boys on the surface, she was actually completely clueless about matters of the heart.

Naturally, Teacher Huang Chen had to provide an assist to let his daughter play to her strengths.

Otherwise, if someone else took the lead, it would be too late for regrets.

Teacher Huang Chen was about to return to his study to look over some materials when he suddenly remembered.

Those materials were left in the car.

So he went back to the car to get the materials, leisurely looking through them while eating fruit.

Soon, he noticed something was off.

Wait, that's not right.

Wasn't she just taking Bai Ye to see the guest room? Why hasn't she come back yet?

Teacher Huang Chen walked up to the room, filled with curiosity.

He suddenly discovered that the door to Bai Ye's room was actually closed, and the voices of two people were coming from inside.

Teacher Huang Chen couldn't help but think,

"No way, the two of them... they haven't started already, have they?"

"Their progress is a bit too fast."

Although Teacher Huang Chen had already prepared himself and was even actively pushing for it,

he felt that this sort of thing should at least wait until the two of them had a confirmed relationship.

Aren't these two young people a bit too impatient?

A sense of panic suddenly sank into Teacher Huang Chen's heart.

He comforted himself, thinking that perhaps they hadn't done anything and it was just his misunderstanding.

So he stood in front of the door, wanting to listen to the movement inside.

Just then, the door was suddenly opened.

Guan Shu looked at him strangely.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Teacher Huang Chen gave an awkward smile.

"It's nothing, I was just checking if you two needed anything. Oh, and if you wanted more fruit."

Guan Shu shook her head. "No need."

"There seemed to be a problem with the faucet in Bai Ye's room just now, so I helped him check it."

"Is there a wrench or something in the house? It seems to be broken and needs fixing."

Hearing this, Teacher Huang Chen felt immensely relieved.

So he said, "Alright, don't worry about it. I'll have the nanny take care of it in a bit."

Teacher Huang Chen knew he had overthought things and now returned to his own place with peace of mind.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye asked Guan Shu,

"By the way, there's something I've been keeping in my heart for a long time, and I must ask you now."

Upon hearing this, a hint of a blush suddenly appeared on Guan Shu's face.

"You... what do you mean?"

"I'm not ready yet."

Bai Ye said strangely,

"What's there to be ready for? Is An Tianjiao really the one?"

Guan Shu couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.

She thought he was talking about something else, but it turned out to be related to An Tianjiao.

However, at this moment, she also realized that was indeed the case.

The reason Bai Ye stayed here was because of her.

It seemed she had overthought things and let her imagination run wild.

Despite this, a faint sense of disappointment still lingered in her heart.

As if she had missed out on something.
