Huo Yuanchen paused and looked behind him following the sound.

I saw An Wen holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, standing in the crowd with a lonely expression, her lips tightly pursed, her eyes red, and she looked like she was about to cry at any time.

Huo Yuanchen was about to turn around immediately.

Wen Li was sitting in the back seat of the taxi. When he passed by, she reached out and grabbed him.

"Huo Yuanchen, I'm not feeling well." She looked at him with a smile on her face, but that smile was not sincere at all. She asked him softly, "Didn't we agree that you would take me home first?"

The man said "hmm" absentmindedly, his eyes drifting towards An Wen. His wrist was held by Wen Li, so he couldn't move. He reached out to pat the back of her hand and said, "I'll be back soon."

"No." Wen Li was still smiling, gentle and kind, "The taxi can't stay here for too long. We can't make things difficult for the driver."

Huo Yuanchen frowned and looked at her quietly for a few seconds.

Wen Li walked up to him without giving in, and their eyes met. She still smiled, but there was an obvious persistence in her beautiful eyes.

An Wen also saw Wen Li. Her face froze for a moment, and her eyes suddenly became redder, but she did not leave. Instead, she walked towards them with the flowers in her arms, and stopped a few steps away from Huo Yuanchen. She handed the flowers to him with both hands and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Yuanchen, welcome back to China."

When she came over, Wen Yongjie and Hu Huifen, who were sitting in the taxi, also noticed something was wrong. Hu Huifen pinched Wen Li's arm and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Li, what's going on? Who is this girl?"

Wen Li smiled and explained to her parents, "This is one of Yuanchen's students. He respects his teacher very much. He knew Yuanchen was returning home today, so he came to the airport to pick him up."

The four words "respect teachers and honor the elderly" are emphasized with particular emphasis.

An Wen's face suddenly turned pale, and her body even swayed under the weight. She bit her lips tightly, trying hard to prevent the tears in her eyes from falling out.

Seeing her like this, Huo Yuanchen frowned even more tightly, and there was a hint of accusation in his eyes when he looked at Wen Li.

He signaled to Wen Li with his eyes that that was enough.

Wen Li pretended not to see it, smiled and stuck his head out, and said loudly to An Wen, "Your teacher has something to do today, so he can't go back to school with you. You can take a taxi by yourself, and I will reimburse you for the fare."

An Wen couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they fell like beads from a broken string. She looked at Huo Yuanchen for help, and cried pitifully, "Yuan..."

Wen Li immediately interrupted her, still smiling gently, and said, "Look at my poor memory. I don't even have your contact information, so how can I reimburse you? How about this, add me and I'll transfer the car fare to you."

After saying that, he quickly called up his QR code and held it in front of An Wen.

An Wen didn't move, just looked at Huo Yuanchen, her expression was extremely aggrieved, and her eyes were as red as a little rabbit.

Wen Li didn't force her, and went to see Huo Yuanchen, and asked, "What do you think?"

As a result, everyone in the car was waiting for Huo Yuanchen to speak.

During this process, Wen Li could feel that he wanted to shake off her hand a few times. She made An Wen sad, and he felt sorry for An Wen, and he didn't like her aggressiveness, so he didn't want to pay attention to her.

But that was her character. The more he didn't want her to mess with An Wen, the more she wanted to mess with his darling.

She also figured it out. As long as he was a professor at Haishi University, there would be no substantial development between him and An Wen. It would not be good to get involved with his own students. He was not an unknown cat or dog. He was Huo Yuanchen, a well-known professor with a high reputation internationally. He had to cherish his reputation.

So, she wanted to take a gamble, to see if the official relationship he just agreed to was still valid? To see how much of a position she, his girlfriend, held in his heart?

Huo Yuanchen and her were in a stalemate for a while. In just a few tens of seconds, Wen Li's face turned several shades paler, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her other hand covered her lower abdomen meaninglessly.

He rubbed his brows and thought, she is really stubborn. Even though she is still so weak, she is not willing to give in when quarreling.

He felt guilty towards her, so he had to go along with her wishes. He turned to An Wen and said, "You go back first. Be careful on the road, and let me know when you arrive."

As soon as she finished speaking, An Wen covered her face and ran away. The bouquet of flowers she brought for Huo Yuanchen was also thrown on the ground by her, not far from his feet.

Huo Yuanchen bent down and tried to pick up the flowers, but his hand was still held by Wen Li. When he bent down, he unexpectedly pulled Wen Li.

Wen Li was completely unprepared and couldn't help but let out an "Ouch".

Hu Huifen hurriedly asked her, "Xiao Li, what's wrong with you?"

Huo Yuanchen felt Wen Li's hand loosen. She covered her abdomen with her hands, using her body to block Hu Huifen from seeing. She smiled and said, "It's okay. I just felt a sudden throbbing pain in my temple. I guess it's because I got up too early to catch the flight and didn't get enough rest."

Hu Huifen was worried and asked her a few more questions. After confirming that she was okay, she said, "You must be very tired after flying for so long. When you get home, don't rush to pack your things. Go and catch up on your sleep."

Wen Li said with a smile, "I know. Mom loves me the most."

Huo Yuanchen's eyes flickered. He clearly saw that the place where Wen Li's hand was covering was the wound from her surgery.

He didn't pick up the bouquet of flowers that An Wen dropped. He bent down and got into the car. He apologized to Wen Li's parents first, "I'm sorry that I wasted my uncle and aunt's time because of me."

Wen Yongjie waved his hand and said to him kindly, "It doesn't matter. Teaching is a serious matter. Your students can run to the airport to pick you up, which shows that you are a respectable teacher. Your aunt and I don't work, and we don't have to rush, so you don't have to worry about it."

After that, he said to Wen Li, "Yuanchen has a very good job, which is much more meaningful than your job. He has to teach students, which is very stressful. You should be more considerate of him and stop throwing tantrums like a child."

Wen Li curled her lips, not really taking it seriously. She thought to herself, how dare she act like a child with Professor Huo? She was so busy trying to please him that she didn't have time.

But she still followed Wen Yongjie's words, nodded, and said, "Dad, I understand. Don't worry, I will get along well with him."

Huo Yuanchen looked back at her from the front row, but said nothing because he was concerned about her parents being there.

Wen Yongjie and Hu Huifen went upstairs first, and Huo Yuanchen went to the trunk to get Wen Li's suitcase. When Wen Li came to pull him, his face was gloomy and he turned sideways to avoid her outstretched hand.

"Just now, you went a little too far." He looked at her coldly and spoke indifferently.
