Xiang Ziqi couldn’t help but flash a hint of admiration in her beautiful eyes, indeed finding it hard to believe how sensible little Wu You was.
"Moreover, in our character development class, we’ve discovered that little You has an extremely high talent for piano. If Mr. Xiao, you have the means, we do hope you could let little You learn piano. She seems to really love it herself," Xiang Ziqi earnestly said as she lifted her head to Xiao Yifei.
Upon hearing Xiang Ziqi’s words, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. He lowered his head to look at little Wu You in his embrace, his face revealing a slight smile.
He hadn’t expected little Wu You to have an affection for the piano.
"Big brother, I really do like the piano."
It seemed as if little Wu You had heard Xiang Ziqi’s words, as she lifted her head, looked at Xiao Yifei with her big, twinkling eyes that made her appear extremely adorable, "And let me tell you a secret, big brother, Teacher Xiang plays the piano really well too; she’s even won national awards before!"
Hearing little Wu You’s words, Xiao Yifei looked up at Xiang Ziqi.
"Haha, I did study piano for a while."
Xiang Ziqi seemed somewhat embarrassed by little Wu You’s comment, giggling as she covered her mouth with her hand, "But that was some time ago."
Although now Xiang Ziqi was the principal of Xinba District Experimental Elementary School, she did not show any contempt toward Xiao Yifei. In fact, she was filled with curiosity about the young and handsome Xiao Yifei.
Setting aside the fact that Xiang Ziqi had only ascended to the position of principal with Xiao Yifei’s assistance, there was also the question of why such a young man had such a frighteningly powerful background. This alone made Xiang Ziqi full of doubts about Xiao Yifei.
Of course, the conscientious and responsible Xiang Ziqi was much better at managing the school than Zhu Yonghao ever was!
Under Xiang Ziqi’s leadership, Xinba District Experimental Elementary School had made great strides compared to before. This not only proved Xiang Ziqi’s ability, but it also showed that she never feared those in authority and never assumed that people with money or power were anyhow special.
However, when it came to the matter of little Wu You, Xiang Ziqi was indeed somewhat influenced, and coupled with her genuine fondness for the child, she provided little Wu You with extra care at school.
"Do you want to learn piano?"
After his gaze swept over Xiang Ziqi’s slender and delicate hand, Xiao Yifei turned his head and smiled at little Wu You, "If you want to learn, we’ll go buy a piano for you later, so you can start practicing when we get home."
Regarding Wu You’s interests and hobbies, Xiao Yifei would definitely offer his full support, especially now that he had the means to do so.
Little Wu You looked at Xiao Yifei and nodded her head with a sweet smile, but just as Xiao Yifei was about to say something, he was suddenly interrupted by little Wu You, who continued, "But I want Teacher Xiang to teach me! Teacher Xiang is really amazing!"
Then, little Wu You turned her head to look at Xiang Ziqi.
As soon as she heard little Wu You’s words, Xiang Ziqi was also taken aback, her face clearly showing surprise.
Even Xiao Yifei was slightly startled upon hearing little Wu You’s words.
"Teacher Xiang, you promised to teach me!"
Upon seeing Xiang Ziqi’s reaction, little Wu You became a bit anxious, pouting her lips; her initially pure and large eyes suddenly misted with tears, making the already delicate and adorable little Wu You, who looked like a porcelain doll, appear even more pitiable!
And in the instant that Xiao Yifei saw little Wu You’s expression, he was taken aback.
He truly hadn’t expected that little Wu You had already become such a clever child. Since escaping her past difficult life, little Wu You, while still very sensible, had also developed her own distinct personality traits.
Although Xiao Yifei and Xiang Ziqi both knew that Wu You was just playing around, seeing how adorable Wu You was at the moment made it impossible for Xiang Ziqi to utter her words of refusal.
"Alright, alright, Teacher Xiang has agreed, so let it be."
A smile flashed across the beautiful and intelligent face of Xiang Ziqi as she reached out to ruffle Wu You’s hair and said with a smile, "You little clever clogs!"
Upon receiving Xiang Ziqi’s affirmative answer, Wu You’s face blossomed with a sweet smile, and she excitedly wriggled within Xiao Yifei’s embrace.
"Teacher Xiang, it’s fine, I won’t force you. If you’re busy, just let me know. It’s really okay!"
Seeing that Xiang Ziqi had agreed, Xiao Yifei was somewhat worried that it might affect Xiang Ziqi’s work, and he couldn’t help but speak to Xiang Ziqi anxiously.
After hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, Wu You became very well-behaved and stopped talking; she nestled quietly in Xiao Yifei’s arms, her big eyes flickering as she looked at Xiang Ziqi.
"It’s alright. Sometimes I also practice the piano myself, and while I’m practicing, I can teach little You as well. It’s not a trouble,"
After winking at Wu You in Xiao Yifei’s arms, Xiang Ziqi said with a smile.
"That’s great, thank you, Teacher Xiang."
A relieved smile finally appeared on Xiao Yifei’s face.
"Oh yeah, Mr. Xiao, I had something to tell you, but it suddenly slipped my mind."
Xiang Ziqi suddenly remembered something and raised her head to speak to Xiao Yifei, "Recently, although little You’s grades are still very good, I feel she’s somewhat distracted. Before you arrived, I was discussing this with little You..."
But before Xiang Ziqi could finish, Xiao Yifei interrupted her.
"Thank you, Teacher Xiang. I know where the problem lies, and don’t worry. By tomorrow, little You will definitely bounce back."
He smiled narrowly at Xiang Ziqi and then lowered his head again, reaching out to gently place his hand on Wu You’s head.
Xiao Yifei himself hadn’t realized that his state of mind could also affect Wu You’s.
Xiang Ziqi paused for a moment and then nodded with a smile at Xiao Yifei.
"Little You, say goodbye to Teacher Xiang, we’re going home now."
Seeing that it was almost time, Xiao Yifei said to Wu You with a smile.
After Wu You said her goodbyes to Xiang Ziqi, Xiao Yifei raised his head and smiled at Xiang Ziqi, "Teacher Xiang, I might still need to bother you about the piano later on."
Xiang Ziqi nodded with a smile at Xiao Yifei. Find the newest release on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Then, Xiao Yifei left the school with Wu You and Zhou Meifeng.
As Xiang Ziqi watched Xiao Yifei’s departing figure, a mysterious light fleetingly crossed her eyes.
Even though Xiang Ziqi had become the principal of Xinba District Experimental Primary School, in reality, she didn’t think much of it. On the contrary, she was filled with curiosity about the family combination of Xiao Yifei, Zhou Meifeng, and their group.
After all, Xiang Ziqi could clearly see that Xiao Yifei and Zhou Meifeng were not husband and wife, and Wu You was not their daughter, a series of circumstances that momentarily baffled Xiang Ziqi.
But when she couldn’t figure it out, Xiang Ziqi stopped pondering and turned back to return to the school; she still had things to attend to.
As for Xiang Ziqi’s personality, even though she was aware that Xiao Yifei had a very deep background, and even the position of principal of Xinba District Experimental Primary School was given to her casually by Xiao Yifei at the time, it hadn’t affected Xiang Ziqi at all.
