Chapter 106 -106 The New Female Teacher
Bai Yun’s lips curved upward, her voice tinged with longing as she asked Qin Yize, “Then tell me, when I go to the Imperial Capital to sell things in the future, can I talk to them about the Red Spirit Jade Marrow?”
Qin Yize fell silent for a moment, then spoke solemnly, “Not many people know that Elder Gu holds the Red Spirit Jade Marrow.”
Bai Yun was taken aback and probed, “What does ‘not many people know’ mean?”
“Because it is a secret!”
Bai Yun’s eyes held a complex light as she murmured, “Thank you for your trust in me.”
It seemed there was a light laugh from the other end of the line…
...
He then said, “You’re welcome.”
Bai Yun wondered if she should ask him.
It is polite to reciprocate, after all.
Thus, Bai Yun hesitated for a moment before asking, “How have you been lately?”
“Not bad…”
On the other end of the phone, Qin Yize thought to himself, Finally, she remembered to ask how he was.
At that moment, Lian Yuhong stole a glance at Bai Yun from the kitchen and, seeing her husband just back from work, gestured and whispered, “Qiaoqiao is talking to Ah Ze on the phone…”
Gu Tianfeng nodded in understanding.
He then tiptoed to the room across the hall.
Soon, Gu Zishu’s howls echoed from outside, “Mom, is dinner ready? I’m starving to death…”
On the phone, someone called out for “Doctor Qin,” and after Qin Yize responded, he said to Bai Yun, “I have to go to the base, you should hang up the phone.”
“…Uh…” Bai Yun didn’t hesitate to put down the receiver.
On the other end of the line, Qin Yize listened to the dial tone and slowly put down the phone as well.
A faint smile played around his lips.
Bai Yun, who seemed so experienced and mature, could be as simple as a child at times.
When Qin Yize saw the base guard Luh Fei enter, he regained his usual cool demeanor.
Luh Fei always had this feeling that Doctor Qin might have just been smiling.
But Luh Fei kept a straight face and pursed his lips.
He certainly didn’t dare to ask.
He stood tall and followed Doctor Qin to another test field in the base to inspect the work.
He was one of those responsible for protecting Doctor Qin.
But he felt that maybe in danger, Doctor Qin might need to protect him instead.
The members of their security team all admired him.
Because he was not only erudite but also highly skilled!
Initially, everyone thought Doctor Qin was a frail, beautiful scholar, but during a random spar, he managed to knock down ten men by himself.
Ten men!
That was the true definition of fighting ten at once.
From then on, no one questioned him.
They all admired him greatly.
The only downside was that his expression was as cold as the snow atop the mountains.
Luh Fei was very curious, wondering if Doctor Qin was the same in front of his wife?
After Bai Yun hung up the phone, she stood there somewhat dazed.
Her mind was also a mess.
She didn’t quite understand – had Qin Yize called her just for some small talk?
Since when had their relationship become so casual?
And she didn’t even think there was anything amiss.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
She had even told him the secret of the Mysterious Dragon Box.
And he also told her about the Red Spirit Jade Marrow.
Thinking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao frowned. Knowing about the Red Spirit Jade Marrow now wasn’t much use.
Even if the owner of Yubao Square was willing to part with it, she couldn’t afford it.
It went without saying that it would be exorbitantly priced.
And such jade items only increased in value over time.
In short, the most pressing matter was to carve more items—that was important.
During the meal, Lian Yuhong asked Gu Qiaoqiao when she would go to Qin Yize’s place, not that she was dissatisfied with Gu Qiaoqiao staying at her parents’ home, but she felt that if the newlyweds had the opportunity, it was better for them to be together.
Otherwise, even the best relationships could fade with prolonged separation.
Gu Qiaoqiao gave a noncommittal response, and Gu Qianqian brought up a new female teacher at their school from the Imperial Capital.
She was under thirty, dressed very fashionably…
The members of the Gu Family paid it no mind. Though this woman was Gu Tianfeng’s colleague, he had less information about her than his students did.
However, three days later, Gu Qiaoqiao, on a whim that also served as exercise, went to pick up her sister from school.
Then, at the school’s gate, she brushed past a woman.
At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao wore plain attire, and as the wind was strong at the end of winter, she had donned Lian Yuhong’s floral headscarf.
Therefore, that woman didn’t even give Gu Qiaoqiao a second glance.
But Gu Qiaoqiao recognized her immediately.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart skipped a beat.
She suddenly stopped at the school gate, staring blankly at the woman’s retreating figure.
That woman was not yet thirty.
In her past life, when she knew her, she was in her early thirties, the illegitimate daughter from Sun Yingke’s great-uncle’s family.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew her because, the year before the incident, she went back to the Imperial Capital with Qin Yize. At that time, Bai Yun took her shopping, and she had seen them on the street.
At that time, the woman was arguing with Sun Yingke about something.
She never forgot the sharp and arrogant Sun Yingke in the karaoke bar on the third day of the Lunar New Year, so she had a deep impression of the woman who pointed at Sun Yingke’s nose and cursed.
Back then, her life was a mess.
But somehow, she managed to remember this woman’s face.
Bai Yun told her that she was Sun Yingke’s great-uncle’s illegitimate daughter, who graduated from a normal school, divorced her husband, and was trying to transfer back to the Imperial Capital from Hebei. No one knew why she was arguing with Sun Yingke, but with that behavior, she even dared to be a teacher, followed by a bunch of gossip…
Gu Qiaoqiao felt a heavy weight in her heart. According to the timeline, she wouldn’t bump into her on the streets of the Imperial Capital until two years later.
But now she had encountered her at the gate of Stone Town Middle School ahead of time.
So, was she the new teacher Gu Qianqian mentioned?
By then, school was out.
Gu Qianqian ran towards her sister like a little butterfly.
Gu Zishu always walked separately from Qianqian, so the two sisters didn’t wait for that naughty boy and headed home together instead.
On the way, it was confirmed that the woman was indeed the new teacher Gu Qianqian had mentioned.
Named Sun Chuxia, she taught history.
In her past life, she never knew that woman’s name—so it was Sun Chuxia, a completely unfamiliar name.
When Gu Qiaoqiao got home, she didn’t withhold any information and shared everything she knew with her family at dinner.
Lian Yuhong, wary of such a woman, sagely advised Gu Tianfeng to keep his distance from her.
After all, though Gu Tianfeng was already over forty, he remained a striking figure, dignified and distinguished.
At the very least, he was the most handsome among the male teachers at Stone Town Middle School.
This was a precaution.
This made Gu Tianfeng’s face turn red in front of his children as he quickly put some vegetables in his wife’s bowl, urging, “Let’s eat, let’s eat…”
Gu Qiaoqiao watched, smiling.
In their Gu family, where parents loved each other and siblings cared deeply, she would definitely protect it all well in this life!
