Yan Rusheng promised through his gaze that he would keep his mouth shut, and Xuxu finally let him go. She then turned and smiled at Teacher Li. "Teacher Li, are you still staying in school even after your retirement?"

"Yes." Teacher Li nodded. "My children brought me back to their place, but I couldn't adapt to the environment so I came back."

"President Yan."

Suddenly, someone called Yan Rusheng.

Seeing that, she patted Xuxu's elbow and said, "Xuxu, you guys go ahead. I'll walk around."

"Alright." Xuxu nodded.

Teacher Li suddenly looked at Yan Rusheng and flashed a mysterious smile. "Yan Rusheng, I have something to give you before you leave."

Yan Rusheng ignored the person who called him and his eyes brightened when he heard her words. "I still have special benefits?"

"Just you wait. It definitely is." Teacher Li turned around, her mysterious smile still plastered onto her face.

Xuxu frowned and mumbled, "Why didn't Teacher have a gift for me?"

Yan Rusheng was smug. "I thought you were very well-behaved?"

Xuxu glared at him. "Quit your attitude."

She then headed towards the banquet hall. She was curious about what Teacher Li wanted to give him.

Wasn't it strange?

They haven't seen Teacher Li in more than a decade. Why did she have a gift for Yan Rusheng the moment they met, as though she had prepared it long ago?

She had a hunch that that gift had something to do with her.

But couldn't put her finger on it.

Yan Rusheng followed after her. "Everyone loved you when you were young. Now I'm just receiving a little love from Teacher Li and yet you're jealous?"

He tried to grab her hand but she pulled away fast enough.

"I don't want to talk to you."

Yan Rusheng chased after Xuxu in the crowd, and they were enjoying themselves.

"Xuxu."

Suddenly, someone called her. It was a familiar male voice which made Xuxu and Yan Rusheng frown.

But Xuxu smiled immediately after. She turned in the direction of the voice and greeted, "Zhao Zheng."

He was wearing a dark gray checkered tuxedo, his hands tucked into his pockets. The gold-rimmed spectacles on his nose bridge made him look learned and refined.

He strolled towards them.

Yan Rusheng immediately wrapped his waist around Xuxu. He puffed out his chest as he looked at Zhao Zheng. He smirked wickedly and said, "Zhao Zheng, it's been long."

"Yan Rusheng." Zhao Zheng nodded back at him, but his gaze didn't linger on him. He immediately looked at Xuxu and asked, "You didn't bring the children today?"

His gaze was heated with longing.

A longing he couldn't control or hide.

Yan Rusheng's expression darkened. He took a step in front of Xuxu, blocking her from his sight completely.

He was slightly taller than Zhao Zheng, so he tilted his head down slightly to look at him, giving him a sense of superiority.

"Zhao Zheng, I heard that you got divorced not too long ago. Why didn't you tell all of us?"

Zhao Zheng's expression faltered.

Only a few people knew about his divorce.

Yan Rusheng observed his reaction and smiled lightly. "If I had known, I would've held a reception to congratulate your returning to singlehood."

His statement had Xuxu dumbfounded.

Zhao Zheng's embarrassment turned into anger. "Yan Rusheng, what do you mean by that?"
