Feng Xian’er laughed softly. “Teacher Ying, You are mistaken if I have forgotten Chen Li, for I can never forget him.”
Liu Ying raised her eyebrows, and she then asked her again. “If you can’t forget Chen Li, how come you were so with Mo Xie now?”
“Unfortunately, I can’t talk about this in public.” Feng Xian’er softly sighed, but she then asked with a mysterious smile. “How about the two of us go out to eat and talk alone later, Sister Ying? Moreover, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, so I’d like to talk to you about many things.”
“All right, I agree with that.” Liu Ying replied without hesitation, especially after she realized the meaning behind Feng Xian’er’s smile. She then said to Chen Li. “Mo Xie, my father has finished the pendants but might need a few more days to complete the jade carvings.”
“It’s okay, Sister Ying. Uncle Liu doesn’t need to rush to finish them.” Chen Li answered as he smiled.
However, his smile made Liu Ying dumbfounded, and her eyes kept looking at her in confusion. Soon, she shook her head and asked him. “Who exactly are you? Why do I feel your smile is similar to Chen Li’s?”
This time, Chen Li was stunned after hearing her words, and he really didn’t expect that Liu Ying would be able to recognize his smile.
On the other hand, Feng Xian’er covered her mouth with her hands, and she was trying hard not to laugh. She then sent a voice transmission to her husband. ‘Like I told you, right? Teacher Ying has always paid attention to you back then, so you shouldn’t be surprised if she feels that way.’
‘Sigh, I didn’t understand they could have feelings for me. Moreover, I’ve never tried to get close to Sister Ying and the others, and I’ve always spent my time with you daily.’ Chen Li replied as he sighed softly, and he didn’t know what to answer Liu Ying, for he was afraid that she would be angry with him, especially since he didn’t admit his identity right away when they met at Liu Zhen’s house.
Feng Xian’er smiled upon hearing her husband’s words; she then glanced at Xiao Huoli.
Xiao Huoli nodded in understanding, waved her hand, and enveloped them in her aura; only then wouldn’t everyone in the cafeteria be able to hear their conversation.
After that, Feng Xian’er said to Liu Ying. “I already expected that you would feel that way, Teacher Ying. Moreover, you already know I would never get close to any man other than Chen Li, right?”
“Yes.” Liu Ying nodded to her. “I felt astonished to see you intimate with Mo Xie, so I thought you had forgotten about Chen Li.”
“Hehe.” Feng Xian’er giggled. “Actually, Mo Xie and Chen Li are the same person, Teacher Ying.”
“Huh!?” Liu Ying gave a low cry and looked at him in shock, for their faces and appearances were so different.
Chen Li was small and fragile in her memories, but Mo Xie looked muscular and strong, so she found it hard to believe they were the same person.
Liu Ying kept looking at him and asked in disbelief. “Are you really Chen LI? I heard that you disappeared four months ago, and the police are still tracking your whereabouts until now. What’s more, how can your appearance be so different?”
“En, I’m sorry for not telling you earlier, but I am indeed Chen Li, Sister Ying.” Chen Li replied with an apologetic look. “However, I have a lot of trouble to deal with, so only a handful of people know I’ve returned.”
Liu Ying didn’t say anything, but she stretched out her hand to rub Chen Li’s cheek, and her gaze was so full of affection.
Chen Li was taken aback by her actions, and he initially still doubted that Liu Ying had had a crush on him for a long time. Yet, her reaction had already answered his doubts. He then held and pressed her hand to his cheek.
Liu Ying was startled by that and wanted to pull her hand back, but he held her hand tightly; she then said in embarrassment. “Let go of my hand, Chen Li. We are in the school cafeteria right now, and I don’t feel comfortable if people see me like this.”
“Why are you embarrassed, Teacher Ying.” Feng Xian’er laughed softly. “I know that you’ve had a crush on him for a long time, and I even noticed that you always glanced at him during school hours.”
Liu Ying was tongue-tied, her face flushed bright red, and smoke seemed to be coming out from her head, for she felt so embarrassed that her former student knew about her feelings.
Feng Xian’er smiled faintly, moved to sit beside Liu Ying, and took her hand. “Do you still like Chen Li?”
Liu Ying looked at Feng Xian’er in confusion; she was at a loss as to what to say. However, she nodded, for she didn’t want to deny her feelings.
Feng Xian’er smiled contentedly at that, and she then said to her again. “However, before we talk further, I will tell you many things when we go out to eat.”
“All right.” Liu Ying nodded in agreement and pulled her hand from Chen Li’s grasp. “Anyway, I must return to my office now, for I still have to prepare some things for the next lesson.”
“Yes.” Feng Xian’er and Chen Li replied to her with a nod.
After that, Liu Ying got up and left the cafeteria but kept looking at Chen Li. Without noticing her, a relieved smile graced her pretty face, for she had been worrying about him for four months, but now he had returned safely.
After Liu Ying disappeared from their sight, Feng Xian’er asked her husband. “Do you believe me now, Hubby?”
“Yes.” Chen Li nodded with a soft sigh. “However, I don’t want to rush her, especially since I’m unsure if Sister Ying can accept my polyamorous relationship.”
“Don’t worry, leave the matter to me; I will convince Teacher Ying to accept your relationship.” Feng Xian’er said with a confident smile.
Chen Li laughed and pinched Feng Xian’er’s cheeks. “Somehow, I feel that your mind is broader yet more cunning than mine, Little Phoenix.”
“Haha.” Feng Xian’er let out a soft laugh after hearing that. “You are my husband, and I, as your wife, will definitely do my best to support you. So, how can I do everything if I’m not like this?”
“Anyway, I’m going to go see Ye Xiao now, for I want to renovate the building as soon as possible, and I also have to build a residence and training ground for the members of Long Feng Pavilion.”
Feng Xian’er nodded to him. “All right, you can see Big Brother Ye now, and I will wait for Teacher Ying here.”
After that, Chen Li quickly left the school, and Xiao Huoli entered the Tianyi Realm again.
On the other hand, Feng Xian’er thought carefully about her plan to bring Liu Ying to Chen Li’s side, for she did not want to fail.

Meanwhile, Guo Qing was in front of his mother and explained his intention to propose to Li Xue as soon as possible, surprising her.
“Are you serious about that, Qing’er?” Hua Niang asked with a serious look. “I know that you and Li Xue have loved each other for a long time, and I would also be delighted if she became my daughter-in-law. However, I remember you guys telling us that you two were getting married right after you graduated from college, but why do you suddenly want me to propose to her?”
Guo Qing smiled awkwardly and explained to her again. “Mom, me and Xue have already done that, so I want to be responsible to her by marrying her.”
Hua Niang was stunned upon hearing that. She knew her son’s character well and was sure he would not dare to do such a thing before they married. However, he now admits that they did that, which shocks her.
Soon, Hua Niang took a deep breath, picked up her smartphone, and called her husband. She then told him about their son’s confession, which shocked Guo Jing.
[All right, I’ll be home tonight, and we’ll go directly to meet Yun Zhi to discuss their marriage.]
“All right, I will wait for you, and we will see Yun Zhi afterward.” After she cut off their call, Hua Niang asked her son. “Are you really ready to be responsible to Li Xue?” ｎ𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｃｏ𝚖
“Mom, don’t worry; I will be fully responsible for Xue.” Guo Qing answered with a determined nod, and Hua Niang nodded satisfactorily.

On the other hand, Yun Zhi smiled widely after Li Xue explained everything to her; she then hugged her daughter. “Hehe! I’ve always wanted to see you marry Little Guo, and my wish will come true soon.”
Li Xue smiled wryly at her mother’s words. “However, we’re thinking about getting married in civil service for now, and we won’t be having a wedding party before we graduate from college, Mom.”
“No!” Yun Zhi immediately rejected her daughter’s idea. “Since you guys have done it, you have to get married soon, and I will talk to his parents to carry out your wedding party soon.”
“But-”
“No buts! I will not compromise on this matter.” Li Xue couldn’t help but sigh helplessly and nodded in agreement to her mother.
