Chapter 1681 - Father’s Discovery
She did not leave the academy as her mood was extremely bad. She really regretted revealing Xi Jingchen's identity to Duan Shu Xian that night and letting her know of his noble and charming identity.
If she did not say it out loud, Xi Jingchen would still be an ordinary professor in this school.
However, when he became your son and Duan Shu Xian finds out about his identity, she would spend a hundred times more time and effort to get close to him, close to him.
Duan Shumin thought about something and she immediately pushed the door open and got off the car. Coincidentally, two female students walked over to her and she immediately stopped them with a feigned look of curiosity.
"Hello fellow students, do you know the Teacher Xi in this school?" Duan Shumin wanted to find out something from them.
When the female student saw her asking about Xi Jingchen's news, she immediately became excited, "Ah, Teacher Xi! Was it that young and handsome Teacher Xi? Of course we know each other! We even listened to his lessons! "
"That's right! Who wouldn't know of Teacher Xi in our school! He's the male god in the heart of our school's goddess! "
"Oh!" Is that so? Does he have a girlfriend!? " Duan Shumin asked while smiling.
The two of them belonged to the unscheming class, and one of them immediately said, "Teacher Xi doesn't have a girlfriend! I never heard that he has a girlfriend! "
"Is that so? I think I heard he was close to the librarian? "
"That's right, that's right. He told our librarian, Senior Duan, about a scandal once, and it seems like the Teacher Xi gave her a loving breakfast or something."
A cold smile flashed across Duan Shumin's heart. She never thought that her little cousin's skills would be so brilliant, even allowing Xi Jingchen to give her a loving breakfast? "Where did she get her skills from?" Elder sister, who are you! "
"Oh!" "My uncle is a professor here. I was just asking around out of boredom." Duan Shumin also managed to get the information she wanted.
Even the students in the school knew about Xi Jingchen and Duan Shu Xian. It could be seen how close they usually were to each other.
Duan Shumin once again sat in her car, tightly holding onto the steering wheel, tightly biting her red lips. The jealousy and fury in her eyes merged together, making her really want to find Duan Shu to settle the score.
At this time, Duan Shu Xian was sitting on the bookshelf reading a book and was busy working from time to time. Auntie Huang went to the warehouse to talk to her old sister on the phone.
It was already 4: 30 in the afternoon. Duan Shu Xian looked at her watch and wondered if her cousin would come today.
Would she go and find Xi Jingchen? Or had she already gone to find him? Duan Shu Xian held onto the back of her hand and heaved a long sigh.
Let him handle it! Although his cousin would find it hard to accept this, he didn't want to force it. It would reduce the pain in the future if he knew it earlier.
Of course, she wouldn't force anyone into this relationship. She had even thought that as long as Xi Jingchen didn't like her on one side, she wouldn't pester him anymore.
Even at this moment, she still had many thoughts that she was uncertain of. However, if she dared to stay with him, of course she would.
In front of love, she was not afraid of anything, but towards her family, she did not want to cause any harm.
While Duan Shu Xian was in a dilemma, time unknowingly passed by. Around five o'clock, Duan Shu Xian's heart was filled with anticipation. She was wondering if Xi Jingchen would come over.
But before she could reach Xi Jingchen, she saw her father walk in. Her heart tensed up and she quickly stood up to welcome her father.
"Dad, why are you here?"
"I'll look for a few books! I was waiting for you to get off work too. " After Duan Deming finished speaking, he asked worriedly, "Will working here be tiring?"
"Not bad!" I still have time to look at the information. " Duan Shu Xian replied.
Duan Deming nodded, then went in to look for his information. Duan Shu Xian couldn't help but look towards the door, she silently prayed that Xi Jingchen would not come.
Duan Deming found the book he was looking for and came out. He sat on a chair next to Duan Shu Xian and started flipping through it.
Duan Shu Xian looked at the time. It was almost 5: 15, she could leave at 5: 30, maybe Xi Jingchen wouldn't come, maybe he had something urgent and left.
However, whatever he was afraid of had suddenly appeared. Duan Shu Xian was tidying up the table when she suddenly saw a slender and enchanting figure walking in from the courtyard. Who else could it be other than Xi Jingchen?
Duan Shu Xian's heart skipped a beat as she nervously watched him walk over. She shook her head, telling him not to come over, or perhaps not to be too intimate with her at this moment.
She didn't want her father to see it. She knew that her father also knew who he was.
Xi Jingchen understood her meaning and frowned slightly. He walked over to Duan Shu Xian's table, and greeted Duan Deming first, "Teacher Duan."
Only now did Duan Deming realize that he had come. He immediately stood up from his seat and instinctively revealed a respectful expression towards this young man.
"Teacher Xi." Duan Deming also greeted him.
Regarding Xi Jingchen's sensitive and mysterious identity, Duan Deming also knew that pretending to not know anything was the best.
Xi Jingchen's gaze landed on Duan Shu Xian's face. He smiled gently, "Shu Xian, I'm here to borrow a book."
historical
"Ugh .." Great! You can go in and borrow it! " Duan Shu Xian lowered her gaze, not daring to look him in the eye in front of her father.
Duan Deming's eyes swept between his daughter and Xi Jingchen. He keenly felt something, and maybe his daughter was restraining her emotions, but this Young Master Xi's eyes did not hide the fact that she liked her daughter.
He had also been young, and the feeling of liking someone couldn't be concealed even if he wanted to.
"Cough .." Duan Deming couldn't help but fake a cough, as he also hoped that Xi Jingchen's gaze would move away from his daughter.
What's more, wasn't he dating his first niece? He didn't want his daughter to be mixed into Duan Shumin's feelings and be part of a family.
"Shu Xian, pack up, let's go!" Duan Deming said to his daughter.
Duan Shu Xian had already packed up. At this moment, Auntie Li, who took over the shift, appeared at the door on time.
"Shu Xian, let's get off work!" As soon as Auntie Li arrived, she saw that her father was waiting for her.
Duan Shu Xian looked at Xi Jingchen apologetically. Xi Jingchen smiled and nodded at her, signalling her to follow his father home.
"Dad, can I have a word with Teacher Xi?" Duan Shu Xian gathered her courage and asked.
Duan Deming's face suddenly darkened, and said sternly: "Shu Xian, if you have something to say, ask it right in front of me!"
Duan Shu Xian was startled, she could only say to Xi Jingchen: "Then I'll go home first."
Xi Jingchen said to Duan Deming, "Uncle Duan, Shu Xian and I are currently friends."
"I'm afraid that my daughter doesn't have the luck to be Teacher Xi's friend!" Duan Deming said doubtfully.
With that, he reached out and grabbed Duan Shu Xian's arm, and pulled her out of the room. Under his father's overbearing strength, Duan Shu Xian turned her head and looked at Xi Jingchen, her eyes filled with sorrow, unable to speak.
A flash of pain flashed past Xi Jingchen's eyes. Even if he did not want to hurt her family members too much, he hoped that her family members would not stop them from getting along with each other.
But obviously, Duan Deming knew his identity, and with the information he had displayed, he didn't want his daughter to be with him.
In this world, not every parent wished for their daughter to marry into an influential family. This was because he himself had abandoned his status as an influential family and turned into an ordinary person, enjoying the bliss of a dull life.
Duan Shu Xian kept her head down as she followed her father to his car. Duan Deming pulled open his copilot and said to her: "Shu Xian, get in the car."
Duan Shu Xian nodded as she entered the car. Duan Deming pulled open the driver's seat and drove the car out of the school.
There was a moment of silence as Duan Shu Xian peeked at her father's expression. It was also a serious expression that made her feel very pressured.
"Dad .." Duan Shu Xian called out to him.
"Shu Xian, tell daddy the truth, do you like Teacher Xi a lot?" Duan Deming turned his head to look at her, asking her a question with a serious expression.
Duan Shu Xian was stunned. Was her father inquiring about her thoughts? Should she tell the truth?
Duan Shu Xian nodded lightly. To be honest, she replied, "Yes, I like him."
Duan Deming tightened his face and looked forward, "You should already know who he is."
"I know." "Yes." Duan Shu Xian nodded. You still dare to like him when you know it? " Duan Deming stopped for a traffic light as he turned his head to glare at this daughter of his who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. Who gave her the guts to fall in love with a man who would become a Pavilion Master in the future?
