The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572: Chapter 568: Gu Jiaojiao Is Exposed

Leng Yuan was too cold and taciturn. Although he was an expert in his field, everyone was a little intimidated by him. As for the desk by the door, it was cold in the winter and hot in the summer—not exactly a prime location.

Gu Jiaojiao scanned the room, then walked over to Leng Yuan. "Mr. Leng, I’ll be sitting across from you from now on. I look forward to working with you."

Leng Yuan reluctantly shook his wife’s hand. "I look forward to working with you too, Teacher Gu."

The others shot the pair a strange look.

The principal, on the other hand, thought everything was perfectly fine and went on to explain a few more work-related details.

Just then, a teacher asked, "Principal, I thought we were hiring one teacher. Why is she a teaching assistant?"

The smile instantly vanished from the principal’s face. "We hired two people this time: one teaching assistant and one teacher. It’s just that the new teacher had some business to attend to and requested time off."

Everyone was speechless.

’What kind of teacher puts on such airs, taking leave before their first day? We’ve never heard of anything like it.’

However, seeing the principal’s foul mood, and considering a new position had suddenly opened up, everyone was sensible enough not to press the matter.

Only after he left did they start whispering among themselves.

Gu Jiaojiao, meanwhile, finished arranging her things and looked up to find the man across from her staring. She offered a kind reminder, "Mr. Leng, your class is about to begin. You should get to the classroom."

Leng Yuan let out a laugh of exasperation. He picked up his textbook and stared at his wife, his tone laden with meaning. "Well then, Teacher Gu, you’d better use the time I’m in class to think carefully about how you’re going to explain all this to me later."

Gu Jiaojiao gave him an "A-OK" sign.

Seeing that it was almost time for his class, Leng Yuan got ready to head to the classroom. Just then, a sharp-eyed teacher spotted the brand-new Plum Blossom watch on his wrist and exclaimed in astonishment, "Mr. Leng, is that a new Plum Blossom watch? I happened to see that exact model at the department store before the New Year. It cost over 280 yuan—almost 300! And you needed coupons for it, too. I was so jealous but didn’t dare to buy it. You actually got one!"

’My salary is only a dozen or so yuan a month. I’d have to save for two years without eating or drinking to afford a watch like that. How could I ever dare to buy it?’
