[ON HOLD] (1)The Little Brat's Sweet And Sassy

118-120

“Thank you, Mr. Geng. I won’t do it again.”

Geng Haifan sighed a breath of relief when Ning Li apologized so sincerely.

“It’s okay, as long as we have cleared up all the misunderstandings.”

He took another glance at Ning Li before looking at Lu Huaiyu. He was impressed by the man’s care of the girl.

“Thank you for coming over, Mr. Lu. If not for your trust in Ning Li which revealed the truth behind this incident, this situation would surely become more complicated.”

Usually, parents would be suspicious if they suspected that their children were involved in a relationship at such a young age. However, Lu Huaiyu undeniably trusted the girl and never doubted her for a second.

It was because of his trust that Ning Li had listened to him.

Lu Huaiyu nodded. “The final year in high school is important to them. I’ve talked to her about what she should focus on and what she should avoid. She has always been an obedient girl.

Geng Haifan was delighted.

“Yes, yes. Mr. Lu, you seem like someone who upholds strict house rules. With you watching over Ning Li, us teachers will have less to worry about.”

Geng Haifan strongly believed Su Yuan was hopeless. He made a note to only discuss matters involving Ning Li with Lu Huaiyu in future.

Lu Huaiyu raised a brow and smiled. “You’re absolutely right.”

The bell rang and the class was over.

Music then sounded through the broadcast. It was time for a P.E session.

Geng Haifan looked at the time and said, “We’ve used two class periods for this discussion. Pei Song, Ning Li, you may both go back to class.”

“Hold up.”

Lu Huaiyu walked up to Pei Song.

He held out his hand for a handshake. “I still haven’t thanked you for looking after our Ning Li.”

The tone of his voice seemed as lazy and unconcerned as always, but every word was uttered clearly.

A handshake was an official sign of gratitude.

Pei Song held out his hand.

The two of them shook hands.

Pei Song looked up into the man’s eyes.

He had mysterious-looking eyes. They looked calm but when you looked closer, there was something unsettling inside the darkness.

For a moment, Pei Song got the feeling that Lu Huaiyu was a fierce beast and he felt as if he had accidentally trespassed onto the beast’s territory. His gaze was a sign of warning.

Fortunately, that feeling only lasted for an instant. Lu Huaiyu pulled his hand away quickly.

He maintained his gentlemanly bearing throughout the handshake.

Pei Song said, “You don’t have to thank me.”

Lu Huaiyu smiled. “I do. Lili is a stubborn girl and she doesn’t like to be in someone’s debt.

Pei Song felt slightly nervous, so he did not say a word.

Geng Haifan asked, “Mr. Lu, I’ll see you out.”

“It’s okay, Lili can do that.”

Geng Haifan assumed the two of them still had some unfinished business, so he nodded.
