Because Ruan Qing was held by Lin Anyan, Lin Anyan naturally sensed a momentary stiffness in the person in his arms.
With a hint of confusion, he followed the gaze of the person in his arms.
Professor Chu?
Lin Anyan immediately understood why the person in his arms reacted so strongly. Probably scolded by Professor Chu to the point of becoming withdrawn, so upon seeing him, the person instinctively stiffened.
Having the audacity to skip Professor Chu’s class, one really wondered what this person was thinking.
However, due to Lin Anyan looking towards Chu Yi, he didn’t notice what was under his feet. Accidentally stepping on a fallen dry twig, he stumbled forward, unable to maintain his balance.
Ruan Qing, originally planning to find an excuse to retreat to the venue, suddenly felt a loss of weight.
Ruan Qing whispered in surprise, and his body, faster than his brain, instinctively hugged Lin Anyan.
Although Lin Anyan had already stabilized, and the two didn’t fall to the ground, Ruan Qing knew it was bad after the hug.
Indeed, the two over there had already turned their attention towards here.
Chu Yi was originally about to walk towards the manager but heard a voice nearby. He casually glanced over.
Then he saw the young man who should have been waiting for him in his office... in the arms of another man.
Even more obediently hugging the man’s neck, burying his head in the man’s arms, they looked extremely intimate.
As if they were a couple deeply in love.
After all, in ordinary relationships, it’s impossible to adopt such an intimate posture.
Chu Yi’s deep eyes instantly turned cold.
The manager on the other side naturally saw it too, and the gentle smile on his face faded instantly.
With his head buried in Lin Anyan’s embrace, Ruan Qing didn’t dare to look at the expressions of the two.
As if by doing so, they wouldn’t recognize him.
Beside them, Chi Yifan glanced at the person in Lin Anyan’s arms, walked over to Chu Yi with a cold demeanor, and politely greeted him.
“Good afternoon, Professor Chu.”
Chu Yi didn’t pay attention to Chi Yifan. Instead, he looked coldly at Ruan Qing in Lin Anyan’s arms and spoke with a commanding tone, “Come down.”
Ruan Qing’s body stiffened. He pursed his lips, slowly released his hold on Lin Anyan, and struggled to come down.
Lin Anyan didn’t say much. Following Ruan Qing’s strength, he gently set him down.
Ruan Qing, facing Chu Yi’s cold gaze, stood somewhat bewildered on the spot. He tried to explain, “Just now, classmate Lin stepped on a twig and almost fell. I acted instinctively...”
The manager had also walked over by now. He looked at Ruan Qing and chuckled, interrupting his explanation. “It seems that Mr. Wang is having quite an exciting time at school, much more interesting than at my place.”
Ruan Qing’s slender body stiffened even more at the manager’s words. Another layer of moisture appeared in his eyes, and he no longer had the mood to explain. Instead, he looked at the manager with a somewhat pleading expression.
Pleading for him not to reveal everything.
The manager, seeing this, just smiled gently, not refusing but also not explicitly agreeing.
His smile, as always, was inscrutable.
The few of them stood face to face, not too far apart, yet the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
Even if Lin Anyan was a bit slow, he could sense that something was amiss.
Most universities were located in relatively remote areas, and even prestigious ones like Hengming University were no exception.
The “Huayue” bar, on the other hand, was in the most prosperous part of the city, quite far from the university. Many students hadn’t even heard of “Huayue,” let alone know its manager.
Naturally, Lin Anyan didn’t know the manager. He looked at the man exuding a powerful aura, then at Chu Yi, who had a cold expression, and concealed his emotions.
Lin Anyan then turned to Ruan Qing with a puzzled expression and asked, “Student Wang, who is this...?”
Ruan Qing, instinctively looking at the manager, displayed a bit of helplessness on his delicate face.
After receiving Ruan Qing’s gaze, the manager smiled and said, “Why is Mr. Wang looking at me? He’s asking you.”
“Who am I?”
Clearly, the manager wasn’t helping Ruan Qing, and like everyone else, he calmly awaited Ruan Qing’s answer.
In the next second, seeking help, Ruan Qing looked at Chu Yi, but Chu Yi just looked at him coldly.
Ruan Qing could only lower his eyes pitifully, a bit flustered, and said, “Yes, it’s my... my boss.”
“Boss?” The manager playfully spoke, finally smiling gently. “Indeed, I can be considered your boss.”
This statement obviously didn’t expose his intention. Ruan Qing seemed to relax a bit, but just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the manager straightened his cuffs, slowly spoke, “However, I am a bit curious. Who is this Professor Chu to you that he’s in such a hurry to pay you a breach of contract fee?”
The manager didn’t wait for Ruan Qing’s response and spoke with a gentle smile, “A breach of contract penalty of fifty million.”
Those present widened their eyes in disbelief, looking at Chu Yi and Ruan Qing.
Fifty... million?
Breach of contract penalty?
Professor Chu offered to pay a fifty-million penalty for Wang Qing!!!
Not only were the people present stunned, but even the viewers watching the live stream were also shocked.
[Fifty million!!! This might be something even one’s biological father couldn’t do!]
[If I were kidnapped, and the kidnappers asked my dad for fifty million, he would abandon me without hesitation, not even a shred of hesitation. As for my mom, she might cry for a day and then decide... to give up on me (laughs in tears.jpg).]
[But, if I had fifty million, I’d be willing to pay this fine for student Wang for sure. He’s just too irresistible (whispering.jpg).]
[Well, he is indeed hard to resist, but I always feel like I’ve seen this student Wang somewhere before. I just can’t remember. Clearly, it’s my first time seeing this plot.]
[Isn’t anyone curious about what led to a breach of contract penalty of fifty million? The atmosphere among these people feels strange, not like they’re good people. Could the culprit be among them?]
After the manager’s words, everyone looked at Chu Yi and Ruan Qing with a mixture of shock and suspicion.
Ruan Qing’s face turned pale upon hearing fifty million. He widened his eyes, seemingly incredulous. “Fifty, fifty million?”
The manager smiled and nodded. “Yes, breach of contract penalties for employees like you are fifty million.”
“So, who is this Professor Chu to you that he’s willing to pay fifty million for you?” Although the manager addressed Ruan Qing, he looked at Chu Yi with a mild gaze that carried a subtle hint of coldness.
Chu Yi coldly glanced at the manager but remained silent, as if waiting for Ruan Qing’s response.
The atmosphere between the two was extremely delicate.
After looking at Chu Yi, Ruan Qing lowered his head, concealing the expression in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment before whispering, “He’s my...”
Ruan Qing’s voice was too low for anyone present to hear clearly.
Chu Yi, expressionless, looked at Ruan Qing, emitting a cold aura. “I’m your what? A teacher? Or simply the head of your department?”
Ruan Qing hesitated, shook his head slightly, and nervously played with the hem of his sleeve. After a moment, seemingly exhausted, he quietly said, “It’s my... my lover...”
