Hmm?

The man holding the roses was dumbfounded.

Su Linlang said softly, "Teacher He, I've already told you that I have a boyfriend, we're just colleagues."

After saying that, Su Linlang looked at Chen Xuan, "Let's go, Teacher He didn't make things difficult for me, it was just a misunderstanding."

Chen Xuan nodded and didn't say much.

"Hold on."

He Jian reached out to stop them, "Brother, what do you do? Linlang is the most beautiful teacher at our school. Looking at your plain attire, do you really think you can make Linlang happy?"

Chen Xuan sneered, "Seems like it doesn't concern you much!"

Ignoring the other, Chen Xuan took Su Linlang's hand and got in the car to leave.

He Jian's expression was uncertain, then he got in his car and quietly followed to see where Chen Xuan would take Su Linlang.

Following all the way to Su Linlang's apartment, He Jian stayed downstairs, seething with anger, staring intently upwards.

To someone who didn't know, it might seem like Chen Xuan had stolen his beloved.

Inside the apartment, Chen Xuan talked to Su Linlang about Yang Leshan's situation, "Sigh, I'm pretty upset right now, Wanxi will definitely be affected too."

"If this isn't handled well, I'm afraid my marriage with Wanxi won't get back on track."

Su Linlang nodded slightly, "Yes, because of Yiyi's issue, Lin Wanxi already started harboring resentments towards you, and without fully resolving that, Yang Leshan popped up, adding to her melancholy."

"But Chen Xuan, there's no need to worry too much about this, just let things unfold naturally."

With Su Linlang's comforting, Chen Xuan felt much better, "You're always so understanding. Whenever I face any difficulties, I like talking things over with you."

Su Linlang smiled gently, "As long as you're in a good mood, I'm happy too."

"It's getting late, shall we head to your barbecue shop?"

The two walked out of the apartment building and drove to the barbecue shop.

He Jian hurriedly followed like a thief.

That night, Yang Leshan didn't come to help, only Su Linlang was there assisting.

Seeing this, He Jian gave a disdainful smile, "So, he's just a small fry running a barbecue shop!"

"Not qualified to compete with me for Su Linlang!"

He devised a plan to severely humiliate Chen Xuan in front of Su Linlang the next afternoon, making him lose face and be ashamed to stay with Su Linlang.

He quietly turned to leave, readying himself for the scheming of tomorrow.

Little did he know, his secret following had long been detected by Chen Xuan, who simply disdained to acknowledge him.

...

The next afternoon, Chen Xuan drove back to Jiangbei University.

Su Linlang called him, "Chen Xuan, just now Teacher He came to find me, saying he wants to treat us to a meal, so..."

Chen Xuan chuckled, "No problem, let's give him some face then."

"I'm at your school entrance, let's go together."

"Okay, I'm coming out now."

Su Linlang hung up the phone and went to the school gate, "I don't know what He Jian is up to, suddenly wanting to treat us to dinner."

Chen Xuan knew well, "As long as he doesn't have ill intentions towards you, it's all good."

At this moment, He Jian came over, greeting with a cheerful smile, "Since Brother Chen Xuan is here, let's go together."

"Tonight, I've invited a few other colleagues as well to get acquainted."

Chen Xuan smiled calmly, "With Teacher He's warm invitation, it would be impolite to refuse."

He Jian sneered inwardly, soon he's going to lose face, feeling humiliated!

They arranged to meet at a restaurant, and six people were sitting in the private room.

"So you're Linlang's boyfriend, where do you work?" a man asked with a smile.

Chen Xuan replied softly, "I own a barbecue shop, just a small business."

He Jian immediately chimed in, "Brother Chen Xuan, I'm not saying this to belittle you, but someone of your status really doesn't match Linlang's beauty."

Su Linlang's face turned unhappy, "Teacher He, please don't say such things."

He Jian was unfazed, "Linlang, do you think I'm wrong? In every aspect, us being together is more fitting."

"Life should be about refinement. Being with him, you'll only be smoked and scorched."

As he spoke, He Jian took out an exquisite packaging box, "Linlang, this is a gift I bought for you – a beauty cream from Qingcheng Company!"

"Being with me, you can enjoy a high-quality life!"

The six colleagues present all praised He Jian.

"This beauty cream has amazing effects! Plus, right now Qingcheng Company is implementing a hunger marketing strategy to gain the Jiangbei Market, it's hard to get your hands on it."

"Teacher He getting hold of it, that's truly remarkable!"

"Even more commendable is Teacher He's thoughtfulness and thoroughness!"

He Jian, looking quite pleased with himself, sneered at Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, what do you think? Can you compare with me?"

Chen Xuan just smiled and said nothing, quietly watching He Jian showing off pretentiously.

"What are you laughing at? If you know what's good for you, just leave Linlang voluntarily."

He Jian sneered, "Linlang, it's not that I deliberately want to humiliate him, I just want you to see clearly who you'll have more face with!"

Su Linlang was amused yet annoyed, "Teacher He, do you know why Chen Xuan is laughing and saying nothing? Because you're so ignorant, it's just a show for the crowd!"

"This act is simply ridiculous and laughable!"

He Jian's face turned unhappy, "Linlang, on what grounds are you saying this about me? What qualification does he have to compete with me?!"

Su Linlang raised her hand to point at the packaging box, "Teacher He, I really don't want to break it to you, but the formula for this beauty cream comes from my boyfriend, Chen Xuan."

"You're showing off a cream made from a formula he casually gave out, in front of him. Isn't that ridiculous and laughable?"
