Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Jiang Yao had taken an extended leave of absence. If it were not for the fact that she was the best in her department the previous year, some people in the school would have been dissatisfied with that. Wen Xuehui was afraid that the school would expel Jiang Yao if that matter got out of hand. Therefore, she had been threatening Chancellor Wen all day long. If the school dared to do anything, she would do anything to protect her friend.

Jiang Yao thanked him sincerely. Lu Xingzhi took the book for her, and the two of them bade farewell to the chancellor before leaving the office building.

It was a coincidence. After Jiang Yao left the office building, she had planned to look for Wen Xuehui. However, she saw Wen Xuehui on the way there. Judging from how she was running toward her, she must have received the news quite some time ago.

"Jiang Yao! Jiang Yao! I've missed you so much!" Wen Xuehui did not care about her reputation at all. She was still dozens of meters away from Jiang Yao when she ran with her arms wide open and shouted Jiang Yao's name from afar. She was so excited that it was as if she had taken some medicine.

Wen Xuehui had wanted to throw herself into Jiang Yao's arms and give her a good hug, but she did not expect that someone would beat her to it.

Before she could reach Jiang Yao, she suddenly saw a little brat rush in front of her. Since he was short, he could only hug Jiang Yao's thigh.

What was even more horrifying was when he called out to Jiang Yao. "Mama!"

Jiang Yao lowered her head and looked at the brat hugging her thigh like a koala bear. She was completely dumbfounded.

"Cheng Jinnian, why are you here?" Jiang Yao swung her leg with all her might, but the brat seemed to be glued to her leg, and she could not shake him off no matter how hard she tried.

Then, Lu Xingzhi squeezed the child's arm and forced him to let go; Jiang Yao let out a sigh of relief. She stared at the face that looked so much like her that it did not make sense. Her expression was unfriendly. "What did you call me just now?"

"Mama!" Cheng Jinnian and called out again.

"Jiang Yao, you—"

Wen Xuehui moved toward Jiang Yao. She did not even gasp for breath. She looked at the child with a terrified expression. "You have a child?"

There were a lot of students around them. It was already eye-catching enough for Jiang Yao to appear at school with her husband. However, everyone stopped walking when the child suddenly appeared and hugged Jiang Yao while calling for her mother. They stood in the distance and watched. Some of them immediately surrounded Jiang Yao.

"Jiang Yao, you hid it very well."

Wen Xuehui was a little disappointed. She did not expect Jiang Yao to have such a big secret that she had not told her.

Even though she had not known Jiang Yao for long, Wen Xuehui treated Jiang Yao like a good sister. She had no secrets from Jiang Yao, but she felt a little sad when she thought about how Jiang Yao had a child and did not tell her.

"This child is already five years old. How could he be my child?" Jiang Yao's head hurt, especially when she lowered her head to look at Cheng Jinnian, who was winking and making faces at her. "I'm 20 years old, and he is five years old. I'd have to have him when I was 14 years old. What kind of girl do you take me for?"

"What?"

Wen Xuehui scratched her head with an embarrassed smile. "That's right. It doesn't add up! But that child looks so much like you, and he calls you mom. Is he not your child? Why do you look alike?"

Someone at the side jeered at her. "In ancient times, a woman could get married at 13 years old. It's not unusual for a woman to have a child at 14."
