The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Hai Xiaotang checked the time immediately…

Dammit, she was going to be late!

She hastily pushed the door open, got out of the car, and rushed towards the school.

Watching her rushing figure, Dongfang Yu couldn’t help but laugh. He had done it on purpose, just to tease her, to see her emotional fluctuations.

This was much better than her being indifferent…

Hai Xiaotang jogged all the way, and just in time, she entered the classroom.

She found a seat in a corner of the front row and sat down, but then someone caught up and sat next to her.

Ha Xiaotang turned her head and was momentarily taken aback.

Pei Hao, sitting beside her, revealed a friendly smile, “Hai Xiaotang, why did you only come to class today?”

Hai Xiaotang responded indifferently, “Something held me up at home.”

Without asking further, Pei Hao actively handed over two notebooks, “These are my notes. You’ve missed a few days of classes, and I think these will be helpful for you.”

Hai Xiaotang hadn’t expected his proactive assistance, “That’s not necessary, I can look up materials in the library…”

“That’s too slow, and you can’t learn much from it. Just take a look at these. I mean nothing else, hope you won’t misunderstand.” With a candid expression, Pei Hao made Hai Xiaotang feel awkward for rejecting his kindness.

“Alright, thank you then.” Hai Xiaotang resignedly accepted.

Pei Hao gave another warm smile, “You’re welcome. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me. Alright, the teacher’s coming, let’s get on with the class.”

“Hmm.” Hai Xiaotang nodded.

Hai Xiaotang and Pei Hao were not in the same class, but they shared many courses.

Throughout the morning, Pei Hao sat beside her, engaging with her in a perfectly adequate manner, which Hai Xiaotang didn’t mind.

However, she didn’t feel like making friends, all she wanted was to devote her time to studying.

After class that morning, Hai Xiaotang went to the cafeteria alone. Just as she sat down with her meal, Pei Hao came over and sat across from her.

His insistent approach today made Hai Xiaotang feel a bit uneasy.

Perceiving her hesitance, Pei Hao directly smiled and said, “You really shouldn’t misunderstand, I’m getting close to you for no other reason but to get to know you. Do you know why I want to know you?”

Hai Xiaotang had no idea, “Why?”

Pei Hao smiled lightly, “You probably don’t remember me. During that bank robbery, I was the one who untied you.”

Hai Xiaotang’s eyes widened in surprise, finding it hard to believe, “It was you?!”

“Yes.” Pei Hao said with a smile, “You were very brave then. Regardless, we’ve gone through adversity together, so I just wanted to get to know you…”

Hai Xiaotang instantly felt less resistant towards Pei Hao.

He was right, they’ve experienced hardship together. That shared experience was enough to bring them closer together.

If it weren’t for him back then, they probably wouldn’t have made it…

This time, Hai Xiaotang and Pei Hao have truly become acquainted with each other.

The two exchanged some information, and Pei Hao learned that Hai Xiaotang was turning 20 this year and that she was a local.

He also studied in the library with Hai Xiaotang, although they studied their own materials and he didn’t bother her.

There was only one class in the afternoon and after it finished, school was over.

Pei Hao walked with her towards the school gate again.

“Xiaotang, where do you live? Let me drive you home. I just bought a car recently,” Pei Hao told her.

Just as Hai Xiaotang was about to respond, she saw Dongfang Yu waiting at the school gate!
