Chapter 1779 Father Discovered
Duan Shumin was sitting in the driver's seat. She didn't leave the school. She was in an extremely bad mood. She really regretted that she told Duan Shuxian the identity of Xi Jingchen that night, and let her know his noble and charming identity.
If she didn't say it, Xi Jingchen would still be an ordinary professor in this school. Maybe he was handsome and would be liked by women.
But when Duan Shuxian finds out that he is your son, she will definitely spend a hundred times more effort to get close to him, to get close to him.
When Duan Shumin thought of something, she couldn't help but pushed the door and got out of the car. Just as two female classmates were walking towards her, she immediately stopped them with a curious expression.
"Hello, classmates, do you know Teacher Xi in this school?" Duan Shumin wanted to find out something from them.
Seeing her inquiring about Xi Jingchen, the female classmate immediately became excited, "Mr. Xi! Is that the young and handsome Mr. Xi? Of course we know each other! We have even attended his class!"
"That's right! Who in our school doesn't know Mr. Xi! He is the male god in the eyes of the goddesses in our school!"
"Oh! Really? Does he have a girlfriend!" Duan Shumin asked with a smile.
These two students were scheming people, and one of them immediately said, "Mr. Xi doesn't have a girlfriend! I never heard that he has a girlfriend!"
"Really? I think I heard he was getting close to the librarian?"
Another female voice immediately thought of something, "Yes, yes, he has had an affair with our librarian, Senior Sister Duan. It seems that Teacher Xi brought her love breakfast or something."
A sneer crossed Duan Shumin's heart. She didn't expect her cousin to be so clever, and let Xi Jingchen bring her a love breakfast? Where did she come from? "Sister, who are you!"
"Oh! My uncle is a professor here, I just inquired out of boredom." Duan Shumin also inquired about the news she wanted.
Even the classmates in the school know the news about Xi Jingchen and Duan Shuxian, which shows how close they are usually.
Duan Shumin sat in her car again, tightly gripped the steering wheel, and bit her red lips tightly. The jealousy and anger in her eyes merged together, making her really want to settle accounts with Duan Shuxian.
Duan Shuxian was sitting on the bookcase reading at the moment, and was busy with work from time to time. Aunt Huang went to the warehouse to talk on the phone with her old sister.
Before I knew it, it was 4:30 in the afternoon. Duan Shuxian looked at the time on her watch, wondering if her cousin would come over today
Will she go to Xi Jingchen? Or has she already gone to him? Duan Shuxian supported the back of her hand and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Let him handle it! Although the cousin will find it difficult to accept it for a while, but things like feelings cannot be forced, and recognizing it earlier will also reduce future pain.
Of course, she won't force anyone in this relationship. She even thought that as long as Xi Jingchen doesn't like her unilaterally, she won't pester him.
Even at this moment, she still has a lot of thoughts that cannot be determined, but if she dares to be with him, of course Duan Shuxian will.
In front of love, she will not be afraid of everything, but only to her family, she does not want to cause harm.
Duan Shuxian was in conflict, time passed without knowing it, around five o'clock, Duan Shuxian had expectations in her heart, she wondered if Xi Jingchen would come
However, before Xi Jingchen was able to wait, she saw her father walking in, her heart was tensed, and she quickly stood up to meet her father.
"Dad, why are you here?"
"I'm here to find a few books! I'm waiting for you to get off work together." After Duan Deming finished speaking, he asked with concern, "Will it be very tiring to work here?"
"It's okay! I still have time to read the materials." Duan Shuxian replied.
Duan Deming nodded, and went in to find his information. Duan Shuxian couldn't help but look in the direction of the door, she silently begged Xi Jingchen not to come.
Duan Deming found the book he wanted and came out. He sat on a chair next to Duan Shuxian and flipped through it. Duan Shuxian peeked at his father's expression several times, and Duan Deming was seriously reading his book.
Duan Shuxian saw that it was almost 5:15, and she could leave at 5:30, maybe Xi Jingchen would not come, maybe he had something urgent to leave.
However, whatever she was afraid of, she just came here. Duan Shuxian was tidying up the table, and suddenly saw a slender and charming figure walking towards the courtyard outside the door. If it's not Xi Jingchen, who is it
Duan Shuxian's heart suffocated, she nervously watched him approaching, Duan Shuxian met his gaze, she shook her head implyingly, telling him not to come, or not to greet her too intimately at this time.
She didn't want her father to see him, she knew that her father also knew his identity.
Xi Jingchen understood her hint, and his eyebrows twitched slightly. He walked to Duan Shuxian's desk, and first greeted Duan Deming next to him, "Teacher Duan."
Only then did Duan Deming realize that he was coming, and he immediately stood up from his seat, instinctively showing respect to the young man.
"Teacher Xi." Duan Deming also greeted him back.
Regarding Xi Jingchen's sensitive and mysterious identity, Duan Deming also knew that it was best to pretend not to know.
Xi Jingchen's gaze fell on Duan Shuxian's face, and he smiled softly, "Shu Xian, I'm here to borrow books."
"Uh...Okay! Go in and borrow it!" Duan Shuxian lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at his father in front of her.
Duan Deming's eyes flicked between his daughter and Xi Jingchen, he keenly sensed something, maybe his daughter was restraining her feelings, but this Young Master Xi's eyes did not hide his love for his daughter.
He was also young, and he couldn't cover up the feeling of liking someone.
"Cough..." Duan Deming couldn't help pretending to cough, he also hoped that Xi Jingchen would look away from his daughter.
What's more, isn't he on a blind date with his eldest niece? He doesn't want his daughter to get involved in Duan Shumin's relationship, it must be a family.
"Shu Xian, clean up, let's go!" Duan Deming said to his daughter.
Duan Shuxian had already packed up, and at this time, Aunt Li, who took over, appeared at the door on time.
"Shu Xian, get off work!" As soon as Aunt Li came, she saw her father waiting for her.
Duan Shuxian raised her eyes and looked at Xi Jingchen apologetically. Xi Jingchen smiled and nodded at her, signaling her to go home with her father.
"Dad, can I have a word with Teacher Xi." Duan Shuxian asked courageously.
Duan Deming's face suddenly sank, and he said sternly, "Shu Xian, if you have any questions, just ask in front of my face!"
Duan Shuxian was taken aback, so she had no choice but to say to Xi Jingchen, "Then I'll go home first."
Xi Jingchen said to Duan Deming, "Uncle Duan, Shu Xian and I are currently friends."
"I'm afraid my daughter won't have the good fortune to be Teacher Xi's friend!" Duan Deming said with a pun.
After finishing speaking, he reached out to grab Duan Shuxian's arm, and pulled her towards the door. Duan Shuxian, under the strong force of her father, turned her head to look at Xi Jingchen, with a sad look in her eyes that was difficult to express.
Xi Jingchen's eyes flashed with distress. He didn't want to hurt her family too hard, but also hoped that her family would not stop them from interacting.
But obviously, Duan Deming knew his identity, and knowing the situation, he had already shown his decision, he didn't want his daughter to be with him.
In this world, not every parent wants their daughter to marry into a wealthy family, because he himself has abandoned his status as a wealthy family and become an ordinary person, enjoying the ordinary happiness of life.
Duan Shuxian kept her head down and followed her father to his car. Duan Deming pulled the passenger seat and said to her, "Shu Xian, get in the car."
Duan Shuxian nodded and sat in. Duan Deming pulled the driver's seat and sat down. He started the car and drove straight away from the school.
There was a moment of silence in the carriage, Duan Shuxian took a peek at her father's face, and it was the serious expression that made her very stressed.
"Dad..." Duan Shuxian called him.
"Shu Xian, tell Dad the truth, do you like Teacher Xi very much?" Duan Deming turned to look at her, asking seriously.
Duan Shuxian was taken aback, was her father trying to probe her mind? And should she tell the truth
Duan Shuxian nodded lightly, telling the truth, "Yes, I like him."
Duan Deming tensed his face, looked ahead and said, "You should already know who he is."
"I know." Duan Shuxian nodded. "Knowing that you still dare to like him?" Duan Deming was stopping at a traffic light, he turned his head and stared at this ignorant daughter, who gave her the courage to like a man who will be a future cabinet lord
