Chapter 535: Chapter 535: It’s a Real Person, Not a Statue! Chapter 535: Chapter 535: It’s a Real Person, Not a Statue! “`
The assistants around were terrified; this man was the president’s father and a distinguished scientific researcher who is now retired and living at Imperial Capital University.
He hadn’t cried even when faced with so many research failures.
The next moment, the elder staggered, rushing toward the president’s office in a frenzied run that made everyone’s legs grow weak as they followed behind him!
The elder climbed up to the second floor with surprising agility and went straight into the president’s office.
The president, a man in his seventies, was taken aback when he saw his father, “Father, what’s wrong with you?”
The elder said through tears, “I saw Miss Bai! Hurry and look for her for me!”
In his childhood, after his parents had passed away, he, a six or seven-year-old child, wandered the streets, convinced he wouldn’t survive the winter.
One chilly autumn day, as he shivered in the streets looking for work, he met that Miss Bai. Seeing his pitiful state, she took him to the university where he helped with various chores. There, he found a job and audited many classes, which completely changed his fate.
All these years later, he still remembered how Miss Bai liked to call him “little rascal.”
The president was momentarily dumbfounded, then realized, “Oh, did you go to the statue again today, dad?”
The elder was so angry he nearly spat out his false teeth, “It was a real person, not a statue! She hasn’t changed at all, still looks like a young girl! You beast!”
Helpless, the president, though a head of a university, being called a beast by his own father, said, “… Dad, it’s just the start of the semester today… Alright, alright, I’ll look for her, I will definitely find her for you.” Sensing things were going downhill, the president quickly tried to placate him.
After all, his father was getting on in years; he must have been seeing things!
Duan Xingye had not planned to leave the university with them; Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan left Imperial Capital University together and returned to their luxury home in Sky City.
The butler, Li, was all smiles upon seeing Bai Chuwei’s return, seemingly reminded of something, “Miss, my good-for-nothing son learned that you are studying in Imperial Capital, so he wanted to find some time to visit you later.”
Bai Chuwei had come to Imperial Capital for her graduation trip, but coincidentally, his son had been abroad for a conference and only today had found the chance.
Bai Chuwei nodded indifferently and headed upstairs with Duan Feihan. This content belongs to novel·fire.net
In the luxury house of Sky City, there were actually not many servants; the Feiyu Carpet scampered around the empty garden, occasionally using a corner of the carpet to knock down some exceptionally beautiful flowers, piling them at the four corners of the carpet — ridiculously showy.
Duan Feihan watched silently, resolved to one day replace this broken carpet.
Such a mode of transportation was hardly normal.
Bai Chuwei looked at Duan Feihan with a twinkling smile, waving her hand, “Hanhan, be careful on your way home.”
In the past, Duan Feihan would have already left, but now he stood before the balcony, watching her intently.
The words “Study hard” could no longer be spoken; Duan Feihan looked at Bai Chuwei with a slightly complex expression.
As the light danced in her eyes and a smile played over her lips, Bai Chuwei stepped forward and suddenly grabbed Duan Feihan’s tie, pulled down his neck, and said in a sultry and lingering voice, “If I must choose a partner, I’d only consider Hanhan.”
Those boys at school couldn’t catch her eye.
Of course, whether she would choose or not was another matter altogether.
Duan Feihan purposefully ignored the first half of her statement, his lips curving into a smile, as he suddenly wrapped his arm around her slender waist, his voice deep, “Then before I go, may I ask for something?”
