Chapter 361: 330 Charm, Unreduced (1 more update)_1

Tang Su stared at Lu Han and herself for a long time after they left, unable to retract her gaze.

"Ms. Lin, I’m going to paint now."

Qin Wanwan was completely oblivious to Lin Xue’s strangeness and didn’t sense that Lin Xue was overly flattering her uncle, Lu Han.

After all, she had just turned eighteen, not long into adulthood, and her parents had protected her well throughout her upbringing, leading her to be overly innocent now.

If someone was kind to her, she would return the favor, if someone harbored ill intentions, she would simply ignore them, never considering revenge.

Not to mention, if someone pretended to be kind with ulterior motives, she wouldn’t be able to detect that either.

Seeing Qin Wanwan was about to leave, Lin Xue reached out and pulled her back, "Wanwan, just now, your teacher saw that you were surprised when your uncle asked you to call someone ’auntie.’ What’s the matter? Didn’t your uncle invite you for a celebration drink when he got married?"

Lin Xue was probing.

She wanted to know whether the so-called ’auntie’ was legitimate or not.

In their society, there was a strange phenomenon where lovers would call each other ’husband’ and ’wife’ all the time, whereas actual married couples would respectfully use each other’s names.

So, she needed to find out first whether Lu Han was married or not.

If he were married, then naturally she would give up, but if he were unmarried and just had a girlfriend, then it was a free-for-all.

If she could poach him before marriage, she would only be lacking in morals, not breaking the law.

"They are probably still dating. Since Uncle is my grandfather’s most cherished son and born to him in his old age, if he were to get married, it would definitely be a grand affair. Besides, isn’t it the case nowadays that young people call each other ’husband’ and ’wife’ even before getting married?"

That was Qin Wanwan’s guess, and it was a logical one.

Sister Lu Zhu’s dowry was unparalleled in Beijing, and her wedding was extremely grand and stunning.

Lu Han was the only son of Grandma Bai, so her grandfather and Grandma Bai would definitely do it up big.

She was also a member of the Lu family, how could they not invite her?

Unable to help herself, Lin Xue chuckled, "Talking about the young people of today, you’re eighteen. You are the young generation. Tell me, if you were dating, would you call your boyfriend ’husband’ directly?"

Feeling teased by her teacher, Qin Wanwan’s face immediately turned red. She had never thought about her own love life or whom to date; it was likely she didn’t have the freedom to choose.

Her marital affairs would probably be quite traditional, ultimately adhering to her parents’ arrangements.

She wasn’t repulsed by this idea. Since birth, her whole life had been meticulously planned by her parents, and she had never rebelled.

She believed that her parents loved her, and whatever they did was for her benefit, never to her detriment.

Moreover, her mother had instructed her not to date casually, and to be cautious about meeting boyfriends, warning her about the impressive "phoenix men" out there.

Having seen the news, she too feared encountering such terrifying men.

Because she had always listened to her parents, she was especially doted upon at home.

Her parents gave birth to her, raised her, and unless they harbored some unresolved grudge from a past life, she believed they wouldn’t harm her.

Their experience in life was surely richer than hers, and their judgment of character, more mature and seasoned. She didn’t know how other families handled things, but she was truly willing to follow her parents’ arrangements.

Her parents weren’t like those domineering, almost tyrannical ones; when planning her life, they tried to opt for paths she liked. Just as when she was a child, she loved painting, loved buying many dolls, and her parents never opposed it, willing to spend any amount of money on her.

"I probably wouldn’t, and if my parents found out, they would scold me. They also don’t allow me to casually date anyone." Seeing that Lin Xue was waiting for her response, Qin Wanwan said with a blushing face.

She was quite lively by nature and very enthusiastic when dealing with others, but the Lu Family had principles and bottom lines.

She was no different, especially as a girl from the Lu Family; adherence to family rules was essential. According to the family teachings, "A good girl will be matched with a good boy—and vice versa."

She had never stayed out overnight, there was always a driver to pick her up from school, and she had always turned down boys’ invitations. She wouldn’t accept any birthday gifts either, unless they were from her parents or very close friends.

Since she had plenty of pocket money, she was happy to treat her classmates to drinks and snacks during group activities.

It wasn’t about pleasing anyone; treating others also brought joy to herself.

"That’s right, you are definitely someone who has been well-taught at home." Lin Xue praised, implying that Tang Su was the kind of girl without such upbringing.

Whether that marriage had taken place or not was uncertain, but she had just glanced at Tang Su’s finger, which was bare, without a single ring—certainly not married.

If she were married, wouldn’t a woman want to show off the ring her husband gave her?

"I’m not good at studying. My uncle was just complaining that I’m not working hard enough."

"Nobody’s perfect, right? Anyway, in Teacher Lin’s eyes, you’re very good. Go on and paint."

"Yeah, thank you, Teacher Lin."

"You’re welcome."

Lin Xue glanced in the direction where Lu Han and Tang Su had left; she could no longer see them, but felt no sense of defeat.

After being single for twenty-eight years, she had finally found the goal of her life.

In her lifetime, she would either stay unmarried or marry a man like Lu Han.

With Qin Wanwan in her class, she felt she would inevitably meet Lu Han again.

As long as the two of them were not married, she still had a chance.

Filled with confidence, Lin Xue went to look at her students’ paintings, while also planning how she would meet Lu Han next time.

However, Lin Xue didn’t know that no matter how much she planned, it was futile because Lu Han was going to leave Beijing in a few days.

A man who had no intention of settling down in Beijing was beyond her reach, no matter how eager she was.

**

Lin Xue’s fondness for Lu Han was so direct and intense, she didn’t care that Tang Su was right there, letting her emotions show plainly on her face.

Tang Su wasn’t blind; how could she not notice?

So, not long after leaving the pavilion, Tang Su, swinging the hand that Lu Han was holding, said sourly, "Doctor Lu’s charm really hasn’t faded with time, always making women fall for him at first sight."

"That’s why you should hurry up and lock down your Doctor Lu at home. If you’re worried, we can just get our marriage certificate in Beijing before going back. How about that?" Lu Han’s reaction was completely off-script.

"???"

Tang Su’s face turned red, and she turned her head to the side. Doctor Lu was so shameless; that Teacher Lin really should see this for herself.

He was just talking nonsense. To get a marriage certificate, they needed a household registration book, and on this trip, she had only brought her ID card, not the registration book.
