Chapter 70: Really that attractive?

When HuMing woke up, he suddenly remembered about a class test at school.He had planned to score the highest on his first try just to let Han ShuYi experience a bit of a shock. But after thinking it over, he realized that this might not be enough to shake him, and it wouldn't be good for Ye QiuXue either.

After all, the president had gone to great lengths to prepare the test just for him. If she found out that he already knew all the answers, who's to say she wouldn't get upset?

With that in mind, he decided to abandon his initial plan. Still, he knew he needed to achieve a satisfactory score.

As he got into the car, Hu Ming was surprised to find that the driver today wasn't LanJun but Han LiTian.

Just as HuMing was about to speak, Han LiTian had already started driving, clearly with no intention of picking up Han YunXi and Han ShuYi.

HuMing quietly sat back in his seat, gaze fixed on the person sitting in the front, waiting for him to speak.

"HuMing."

"Mmm?"

"I heard from ShuYi that there's a class test today."

"Yes."

"I know you're not interested in studying, and your grades haven't been great, but you should still try to improve. Not for anyone else, but at least for yourself."

Han LiTian's tone was gentle, foreign from the ruthless businessman he was known to be.

He was genuinely patient with HuMing. Whether HuMing was his biological son or not, it was clear from his actions that he treated him as his own.

In the Han family, there were two people he had no affection for, but the other two made him feel a twinge of hesitation.

In the past, this would have been unthinkable.

He couldn't help but wonder if spending so much time with these people had softened his once-hardened heart.

Seeing HuMing remained silent, Han LiTian continued.

"Your mother... well, never mind. She's overly protective of ShuYi. But you can rest assured, I'm still the head of this family. You don't need to worry about anything she says---I won't agree to it."

Han LiTian wanted to boost HuMing's confidence. He was concerned that his wife's words might cause HuMing to waver.

In truth, he didn't see anything wrong with HuMing's place in the family. Moreover, HuMing was now mature and methodical in his actions. Together with ShuYi, they can make the Han Family stronger.

It was precisely for this reason Han LiTan didn't want HuMing to overthink things. All he wanted was for HuMing to be happy.

"Father."

HuMing called out to him softly.

"I trust you. I'll only do what I should. As for everything else, it's beyond my control."

"That's enough. If you face any difficulties, I'll be here to help."

Hearing HuMing's response, a smile appeared on Han LiTian's face.

HuMing leaned against the car window, watching the scenery flash by outside.

'How great would it be if there weren't Madam Han and Han ShuYi?'

...

HuMing got out of the car and bid farewell to Han LiTian. Just as he was about to enter the school, he noticed SuLiu, who seemed to have been waiting for him for quite some time.

As soon as she saw him, SuLiu quickly walked up.

"Hu Ming, I've been waiting for you!"

"Waiting for me? Didn't I tell you to stop bothering me?"

"I know you have a class test today, so I came to help you study. My grades are pretty good, you know."

"Are they as good as Ye QiuXue's?"

HuMing's doubtful voice rang out, and his words made SuLiu's face freeze instantly.

What he said was a slap in her face.

In this school, who could claim to have better grades than Ye QiuXue? Even if someone dared to say it, no one would believe them.

"My... My grades may not be as good as hers, but I'll teach you with all my heart!"

"Stop wasting my time. Move."

HuMing didn't want to waste any more words with her and walked straight toward his classroom. SuLiu hurried to catch up, glancing around as if searching for something.

When they reached the school field, SuLiu suddenly stepped before HuMing, blocking his path.

"Um, HuMing. Let's go over there---I have something really important to tell you!"

She pointed to the equipment room nearby, where a small path led to the classroom. It was the same path HuMing had taken last night.

However, SuLiu's actions seemed overly deliberate, so much so that it gave HuMing the unsettling impression that last night's incident might be connected to her.

HuMing raised an eyebrow, his gaze intensifying as he studied the person standing before him.

HuMing's intense gaze took Su Liu aback, her body tensed and her expression grew strange.

"What... what's wrong?"

"SuLiu, I found something quite interesting last night. Do you want to hear about it?"

HuMing's eyes drifted toward the equipment room, and his actions sent a chill down SuLiu's spine, raising goosebumps all over her.

She forced a smile, about to speak, when a voice that shouldn't be here came from behind.

"HuMing, aren't you going back to the classroom?"

HuMing turned his head to see Ye QiuXue adjusting the armband on her arm, her gaze sweeping over both of them.

SuLiu's eyes widened in disbelief, but she quickly looked down, muttering, "I have something to do," before hurriedly leaving.

HuMing watched her retreating figure, his eyes growing colder.

SuLiu's actions were too conspicuous. If last night's incident had nothing to do with her, HuMing would find it hard to believe.

"Hey! Is SuLiu really that attractive?"

Ye QiuXue looked at HuMing with displeasure.

'Wasn't this guy at odds with Su Liu before? Why does he suddenly act like a different person now?'

Ye QiuXue, of course, had no idea what HuMing was thinking. He shrugged his shoulders and replied,

"Why are we talking about whether she's attractive? I was only trying to figure out how to get rid of that nuisance."

"If SuLiu hears that, she'll be despairing."

"Why should I care?"

HuMing shook his head and then looked at Ye QiuXue. Suddenly, he recalled the man from last night.

He squinted at Ye QiuXue and tentatively asked, "President, come to think of it, I didn't see your parents last night."

It felt like a sunny day had suddenly turned gloomy.

Ye QiuXue's face immediately turned grim.

Her face remained neutral, and she was clearly unwilling to discuss the matter but felt compelled to respond.

"They're very busy and usually don't stay with me."

"You guys on bad terms?"

"Ugh, HuMing, why are you so nosy? Get back to your classroom already. Doesn't your class have a class test today? If you don't do well, I'll twist your head off."

Ye QiuXue brandished her fist at HuMing, then turned and walked toward the school entrance.

She was probably going to find out who locked her up last night.

HuMing shook his head and headed straight to his classroom.

...

Hu Ming propped his chin on his hand, staring at the questions on his test paper.

However, his lips were twitching, and his expression was anything but natural.

Most of the questions were ones Ye QiuXue had given him before. If he deliberately got them wrong, would Ye QiuXue kill him?"
