Chapter 20: Estranging the Relationship Between the Male and Female Leads! The Female Lead’s Gratitude
Unexpectedly, there was no pain from the fall. When she opened her eyes, she found herself still standing.
Wang Xueying’s heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled.
Remembering the terrifying moment just now, she couldn’t help but shiver with fear…
As she relaxed, she realized something.
She was currently in a warm embrace, her hands still hooked around the man’s neck.
Swish—
Feeling the masculine breath rushing toward her, Wang Xueying’s pretty face rapidly turned red with a blush.
She stuttered, “Th-thank you, Mr. Xu.”
This was the first time she had been in such close contact with the opposite sex, her heart beating rapidly with “thump-thump” sounds…

“As long as you’re okay.”
Xu Hao sensed this beautiful teacher and the protagonist’s stepmother’s touch.
In a flash, he gently took back his hand from her waist.
The pure character setting couldn’t be ruined. If not, it would lead to a reputation like the Third Young Master in his previous life, causing more harm than good…

[Ding! Chen Mo harbors hatred. You obtained 888 emotion points]
Just two steps away from them, Chen Mo, who had come out to catch Wang Xueying’s hand, froze in mid-air.
His gaze was blank as he looked at the two embracing each other.
He had seen Wang Xueying fall just now and rushed out without thinking, regardless of maintaining his cover…
It had to be admitted that his speed was very fast.
Following the trajectory of Wang Xueying’s fall, he could have saved her at the last moment. But unexpectedly, Xu Hao intervened.
Such an excellent opportunity for a hero to save the beauty was intercepted by him…
Seeing the stunning goddess-like teacher being held by a man, how could Chen Mo not feel furious?
Feeling the hand on her waist loosen, Wang Xueying stepped back and made some distance.
The blush on her face wouldn’t fade for a long time.
She averted her gaze, unable to look directly into Xu Hao’s eyes.
Her eyes darted around, trying to find a topic to ease the embarrassment…
In doing so, she noticed Chen Mo under the stairs and asked in surprise, “What are you doing here?”
As soon as the words were spoken, she realized it wasn’t appropriate. What kind of question was that? This wasn’t a secret place. Wasn’t it normal for someone to be here?
It made it seem like she had been caught on a date…
Chen Mo managed a forced smile, “Isn’t it lunchtime? I came here to eat, I didn’t expect to be with you guys… hahaha…”
“Oh.”
Xu Hao just replied as if he believed his words.
Chen Mo cursed Xu Hao in his heart a thousand times.
Wang Xueying’s eyes became strange. Chen Mo’s explanation was too blunt, and his words were unclear. If it wasn’t a coincidence, Chen Mo was intentionally following them…
With Xu Hao’s identity and the fact that they didn’t know each other, it was tantamount to stalking her.
Why was Chen Mo stalking her?
Wang Xueying couldn’t help but think of some news online. Some people who came out of prison had twisted psyches, they were perverted, and they had thoughts of retaliating against society…
While she wasn’t so self-centered as to be vain every day, she had no doubt about her appearance. Thinking that someone who had just been released from prison was following her, it was very likely that they were lu_sting after her beauty.
Wang Xueying shivered. She moved closer to Xu Hao…
Seeing this, Chen Mo’s mouth twitched.
Realizing that Wang Xueying was beginning to suspect him, he wanted to explain, but he couldn’t say anything. Did he have to say that he knew she was going to have lunch with Xu Hao, and he was worried this guy would bully her, so he followed her?
What relationship did they have?
They weren’t even close to being intimate…
Chen Mo’s gaze fell on Xu Hao again.
All because of this guy, the relationship between him and Teacher Wang became strained.
“Xueying, let’s go. I’ll take you back to university.”
“It’s good you’re okay. If I brought you out for lunch and you ended up falling, I would feel too guilty.”
“It’s nothing. It was clearly my fault…”
After arriving at the parking lot and getting into the car, they left in a hurry.
Until the distant shadow of the car disappeared, Chen Mo was still stunned in place, his fists clenched. His eyes grew deep, and he revealed killing intent.
Having undergone rigorous training with his master for three years, he was no longer the submissive student he had been before. Those who bullied him in prison before didn’t let a single one of them off.
“Don’t let me find an opportunity. Otherwise, I will definitely kill you…”
