“What? You, you two know each other? "

Lin Qingfang was left speechless. Her eyes stared wide open, and even her mouth opened, but she did not seem to sense anything, and instead looked at Xiang Yang and Boss of Imperial Palace in shock. This scene truly shocked her too much, and she had just said that it was impossible for Xiang Yang to know Boss of Imperial Palace, but unexpectedly, everything that had happened in the next second made her feel as if she had been ruthlessly slapped in the face.

At this moment, even though the Xiang Yang in their eyes was still an ordinary teacher of the Tianhai First High School, he had become incomparably mysterious, and was no longer someone who could be casually mocked by Lin Qingfang.

Lawyer Zhong was also equally shocked. The Boss of Imperial Palace he had always been trying to get to know, had actually recognized Xiang Yang, and when he had seen Xiang Yang, he had revealed such a respectful expression. This was simply too inconceivable.

“Oh, he’s from my village. We came from the same village.” Xiang Yang said with a smile.

“Right, right. We are from the same village.” Boss of Imperial Palace Xiang Feng immediately said.

“I haven’t seen you in a long time; just leave your contact information for now. I’ll get together with you next time.” Xiang Yang chuckled.

“Okay, okay.” Xiang Feng immediately took out a name card and handed it over with his two hands.

“Then I won’t disturb you any further.” Xiang Feng smiled. Although he looked no different from usual, Lawyer Zhong and the rest discovered that something was amiss. It was as if Boss of Imperial Palace was extremely reserved in front of Xiang Yang and had casually said that if they were to meet again, Boss of Imperial Palace would not dare to stay.

“Is his identity not as simple as that of an ordinary high school teacher?” Suspicion appeared in Lawyer Zhong’s eyes.

“Sorry to bother you, this is the restaurant owner’s gift.”

After a short while, waiters came in one after the other, either with precious good wine or with all sorts of expensive dishes in their hands, making everyone present fall silent. They understood that the reason the Boss of Imperial Palace was sending so many dishes was not because of the famous lawyer Lawyer Zhong, but because of Xiang Yang, the ordinary high school teacher whom they had never thought highly of and had been ridiculed by Lin Qingfang.

The gathering continued, but everyone started to get close to Xiang Yang intentionally or unintentionally, even Lawyer Zhong started to get closer to him, and started to interact more with him. Instead, it was Lin Qingfang who was left alone, she was drinking the top grade wine that the Boss of Imperial Palace had just gifted them, quietly taking out her phone to check the brand, she was immediately shocked, it was actually from F Nation’s top Lafite Wine Villa, and it is already decades old, and every bottle was priceless, and only one bottle was worth as much as her salary for many years.

Amongst Lu Xinran’s classmates, other than Lin Qingfang, all of them were toasting to Xiang Yang. Xiang Yang did not reject any of them; he wore a smile on his face as he chatted and drank, but instead, he was not unhappy, and only revealed a faint smile as he watched Lu Xinran drink with her classmates.

At this moment, Lu Xinran was looking at Xiang Yang with a strange expression. As a Principal, her observation skills and experience far exceeded that of ordinary people, and the scene just now made her very clear that it was impossible for the relationship between Xiang Yang and Boss of Imperial Palace to be just like that of an ordinary village. She was shocked and curious, and muttered to herself in her heart, “What exactly is your identity?”

“Teacher Xiang is such a good drinker.”

After the meal, Xiang Yang drank more than all the people on the table added together. However, he still did not feel the slightest bit drunk, which made the people on the table very surprised.

“Haha, I don’t have any other abilities, but I’m good at drinking.” Xiang Yang said proudly.

“Amazing, as expected of Teacher Xiang, Great Goddess Lu’s judgment is really good, to be able to find such a powerful boyfriend like you.” A man who was looking down on Xiang Yang for being a normal high school teacher gave Xiang Yang big thumbs up.

After Lin Qingfang heard this, she remained silent and continued to quietly drink her wine.

“Bang …” After he finished speaking, Xiang Yang slapped the table hard, causing the table to shake from the impact.

Everyone was shocked, thinking that Xiang Yang was about to go berserk. All of them looked at Xiang Yang nervously, but they heard Xiang Yang say loudly, “You are wrong, Xinran is the most perfect woman in the world, being together with Xinran is the honor of my hundred lifetimes, I have always been proud of her.”

"… Clap, clap, clap …”

They originally thought that Xiang Yang wanted to take revenge for the ridicule they received earlier, but who knew that Xiang Yang would actually say such words. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then erupted in earth-shaking applause.

Lu Xinran, on the other hand, had a blush on her face as she glanced at Xiang Yang.

The gathering continued, and the manager of the Imperial Palace came in from time to time to take a look, when he realize that the wine and food on the table had either finished or gone cold, he would immediately order someone to bring up new dishes and wine. The service was very considerate, causing everyone to be amazed, their hearts feeling carefree, who could be personally waited on by the manager of the Imperial Palace?

“Teacher Xiang, I …”

Just as the ball was about to end, Lin Qingfang, who had been opposing Xiang Yang all this while, suddenly arrived in front of Xiang Yang and whispered, “My company has been facing a financial crisis recently, I wonder if Teacher Xiang can help me?”

“Ahhhh!” Xiang Yang looked at Lin Qingfang with shock on his face. It was really hard to imagine how such a shameless person could exist in this world, even mocking him as nothing previously, but now, he still had the face to ask for his help.

“You must be joking. I’m just an ordinary high school teacher, and you’re the general manager of a foreign trade company. The difference in status between us is so huge. How could I possibly help you?”

There was a smile on Xiang Yang’s face, but it kept people at a distance. The reason why he drank with these people at the table was because he care about Lu Xinran; as for Lin Qingfang, she had always openly mocked him earlier. No matter how generous he was, he couldn’t possibly help her do anything.

"It was my fault just now, I made a mistake. I apologize to you, I just hope that you can forgive me, and help me out on behalf of Xinran, okay? If the company doesn’t get a loan from the bank, it’s going to close down soon, and I’m going to have a lot of debt, so how am I going to survive?" Lin Qingfang muttered as she could not help but shed tears.

Xiang Yang was speechless, there were truly shameless people in this world, they were overbearing just now, but now they were pretending to be pitiful and crying, they were really doing whatever they could to achieve their goals.

“Sorry, I really can’t help you.” Xiang Yang’s face still carried a smile that could repel people a thousand miles away.

“Why are you so stingy? Didn’t I just say something to you?” “If you hold a grudge and refuse to help me, a man like you doesn’t have a heart. If you have the ability but don’t help others, what’s the use of having more ability?” Hearing Xiang Yang’s rejection once again, Lin Qingfang immediately became angry from the embarrassment. After standing up and cursing a few times, she directly grabbed her bag and left.

“…”

As the class monitor, Zhang Lin immediately said to Xiang Yang: “She is really going too far, ai, as a student before; I didn’t know that her character was so bad. Calling her here today is truly a mistake, Teacher Xiang Yang I’m truly sorry, I hope you don’t mind, in order to show my apology, I will punish myself with three cups.” As he spoke, he drank three cups in a row.

The current him had forgotten that he had spoken on Lin Qingfang’s behalf before this.

“It’s just a small matter. Everyone, continue.”

Xiang Yang laughed and continued to drink with the rest.

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … ….

After the alcohol party ended, Xiang Yang and Lu Xinran did not drive, but walked along the road side by side.

Although Lu Xinran did not drink a lot, she still drank quite a bit, with a blush on her face, which added a bit of charm to her perfect face.

“I didn’t expect your alcohol tolerance to be so good; you drank everyone down from the table.” Lu Xinran blinked his eyes as he looked at Xiang Yang.

Looking at Lu Xinran’s charming and moving appearance, Xiang Yang couldn’t help but be moved, and unconsciously extended his hand to grab onto Lu Xinran’s small hand. The latter was slightly stunned, and did not get angry, but allowed Xiang Yang to grab her hand.

“Drinking wine is no different to me than drinking boiling water.” Xiang Yang’s face revealed a pleased look.

“Keep bragging. I can see that your body reeked of alcohol, and you can’t hold on much longer.” Lu Xinran chuckled. She, who was drunk, felt that her steps were unsteady, and after just a few steps, she was limp in Xiang Yang’s arms.

“Good boy, this is incredible.”

Hugging the seductive body in his arms, Xiang Yang didn’t even dare to look at Lu Xinran, as he was afraid that he would be unable to resist the urge to ‘take care of her on the spot’.

“Why don’t you dare look at me?” It was unimaginable that the usually noble and elegant female Principal, the elite queen of education, was now like a little woman in love as she pouted her lips and looked at Xiang Yang in dissatisfaction.

“I didn’t.” Xiang Yang shot a glance at Lu Xinran. Good boy, this was too seductive. I can’t keep watching, or else this would be a crime.

“You liar.” Lu Xinran snorted, revealing a rare cute expression.

“I’m not lying to you.” Xiang Yang hugged Lu Xinran tightly, his eyes staring straight ahead with a face full of righteousness. He recited the Heart Cleansing Spell in his heart, so that he would not turn into a devil.

Both of Lu Xinran’s hands hooked onto Xiang Yang’s neck, and pulled Xiang Yang’s neck closer. She exhaled towards Xiang Yang, and said while chuckling, “Are you afraid of me?”

“Nonsense, why would I be afraid of you?” Xiang Yang was enraged, this woman was too outrageous, all of the pain he endured was for her own good, and yet she refused to appreciate his kindness, and even said that he was afraid of her, and that he had roamed the world for so many years, who could he be afraid of?

His gaze no longer averted and he looked straight into Lu Xinran’s eyes, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

Lu Xinran’s heart trembled, she felt that Xiang Yang’s eyes were filled with mystery; the deep eyeballs made her have the urge to kiss Xiang Yang’s eyes.

In fact, Lu Xinran, who was still drunk, moved even faster than she was thinking. Just as she finished thinking, her head had already uncontrollably moved closer to Xiang Yang’s eyes, and she gave him a light kiss.

“…”

When her sweet and fragrant lips touched his own eyes, Xiang Yang was slightly stunned before immediately becoming furious. “You dare to sneak attack me, you’re too much.”

He felt that as a man, he must not be indifferent while being ambushed by women. He had to resist when it was time, and he had to make his move when it was time.

Xiang Yang was very satisfied with his own counter attack. He glared at Lu Xinran fiercely, little brat, let’s see if you still dare to sneak an attack me.

Lu Xinran’s eyes were still drowsy a moment ago, but she seemed to have suddenly woken up. She pushed Xiang Yang away fiercely and after pondering for a long while, she said softly, “I need to go back.”

“No need, I’ll take a taxi back myself.” After Lu Xinran finished speaking in a hurry, he immediately stopped a taxi by the side of the road and got in.

"Is this woman awake? But it’s so late and she’s not afraid of encountering bad guys. Sigh, she would rather believe a taxi driver than me, do I look like such a bad person? "

Xiang Yang touched his face with a helpless look on his face. Then, he lowered his head to look at his own body, and said with a sad face, "This girl is too irresponsible.”

His blood was still boiling, and when he thought about Lu Xinran’s drunk and hazy appearance, he could not help but tremble. He muttered to himself, “However, you silly girl, do you really think that I would leave you alone if you did not let me follow you?”

After speaking, his silhouette flickered as he instantly vanished from his original location.

At the same time, when Lu Xinran got into the taxi, in a deserted warehouse in the countryside of Tianhai City, a man was watching a video of Lu Xinran in the taxi on the computer in front of him.

He turned off the laptop, stood up, and revealed an excited smile on his face, “Hahaha, Lu Xinran, Lu Xinran, Lu Xinran, you finally took the bait, today I am going to play with you fiercely, so that you will understand the consequences of refusing me!”

"So what if you are the empress of the education world? So what if you are a high and mighty Principal Goddess?"

“Right now, I’m going to let you understand the consequences of daring to refuse me.”

“…”

The man raised his head, revealing a perverted and crazy face.

At this time, Lu Xinran was still drunk in the car and did not know that she had fallen into a trap.
