Qiao Xi smiled shyly. She was so shy! Now that everyone knew that she and Gu Zheng were husband and wife, she could not keep a low profile in university in the future!
Then, Song Xiao smiled and said, “It’s really enviable to have such a powerful uncle!”
Qiao Xi: “…” Uncle?
Song Xiao did not notice the change in Qiao Xi’s expression. At this moment, the other teachers from the design department walked over. Song Xiao said excitedly, “Look, that’s Xi Xi’s uncle, Gu Zheng! He’s handsome and rich!”
Coincidentally, the chancellor saw them and hurriedly waved at them to greet them.
Qiao Xi was just about to explain that Gu Zheng was her husband. She really did not understand. Gu Zheng was only 26 years old this year. How did he become her uncle?
Before she could explain, everyone had already walked in front of Gu Zheng.
The man had long seen the few of them muttering and guessed that Qiao Xi had told everyone about their relationship. This was the first time she announced their relationship in front of everyone, and it made him very happy.
The next second, Song Xiao said, “Hello, Uncle Gu!”
Gu Zheng’s expression froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Qiao Xi lowered her head.
The man’s expression recovered its indifference, and his gaze descended onto Qiao Xi as he said with a faint smile, “You told them that I’m your uncle?”
The air seemed to have frozen, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Song Xiao asked in confusion, “Aren’t you?”
Qiao Xi shook her head and was just about to speak. “No…”
“Yes!” Gu Zheng spoke first, then said with a smile, “Xi Xi, follow me.”
Before everyone could react, Gu Zheng had already pulled Qiao Xi away.
Song Xiao was young, and Qiao Xi was even younger than her. Although Gu Zheng was 26 years old, he looked mature and steady like he was in his 30s. That was why Song Xiao mistakenly thought that Gu Zheng was Qiao Xi’s uncle.
Qiao Xi was uneasy in her heart as she followed Gu Zheng into a studio. At this moment, there was no one in the room. Before Gu Zheng could speak, Qiao Xi asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Can’t I be here? Am I affecting your relationship with other male teachers?” Gu Zheng’s words were filled with jealousy.
Gu Zheng bent down and gently stroked her face. His fingers moved to her lips as he sneered. “I’m your uncle?”
Qiao Xi’s body trembled slightly. After a moment of silence, she suddenly looked up and smiled. She placed her hands on Gu Zheng’s shoulders and said sweetly, “What’s wrong with me calling you my uncle? It’s a nickname! Moreover, I wasn’t talking to a male teacher! Why are you jealous?!”
Gu Zheng’s body suddenly stiffened, and his eyes gradually burned. His Adam’s apple moved, and his voice was hoarse. “Very good. Let me teach you how to paint, then.”
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched slightly. Was Gu Zheng now obsessed with being an uncle? However, since he was pretending to be an uncle, she could only brace herself and answer, “Alright.”
Coincidentally, the tools in the studio were all present. Qiao Xi casually found a spot and started painting. Gu Zheng stood behind her and bent down slightly to hold her hand. His hot chest was pressed against her back, and their posture was extremely ambiguous.
Qiao Xi’s nose was filled with Gu Zheng’s strong aura, and her head was spinning. Her heart was thumping violently, and her face was dyed red. She forced herself to remain calm and paint seriously.
In next to no time, Qiao Xi completed an exquisite painting.
“Not bad.” Gu Zheng took the brush from her hand and added two strokes to the painting, adding some color to it.
“I learned my art skills from Grandpa, so of course, I’m not bad at it!” Qiao Xi had participated in the International Painting Competition before and even held an art exhibition. Painting was not difficult for her.
After the two of them left, a figure walked into the studio. The moment he saw the painting, he could not help but gasp.
This was actually painted by Qiao Xi!
Tang Ruge had a look of disbelief. Qiao Xi could actually paint such exquisite works?
She had seen Qiao Xi painting with a paintbrush outside the door. She originally thought that she was just an amateur, but now, it would seem that Qiao Xi was qualified to participate in the International Painting Competition.
With Qiao Xi’s strength and talent, if she really returned to that family and became the daughter of that family, she would definitely leap to become the top socialite in the capital. At that time, where would she, Tang Ruge, stand?
Tang Ruge admitted that she was not considered beautiful and could not compare to Qiao Xi’s foxy face. However, she had always been recognized as a talented woman in the capital.
