Chapter 1141: Chapter 1142 Caught Red-Handed

Lu Yaobing finally finished dressing, standing confidently in front of Song Xiaodong, without any shyness or reserve.

Seeing Lu Yaobing being so natural, Song Xiaodong couldn’t avoid looking anymore, as that would make him appear guilty. Watching Lu Yaobing pull on her T-shirt, the spring-like allure on her body gradually faded away, leaving behind a particularly enchanting charm.

“Look good?” Lu Yaobing asked playfully, flashing a smile at Song Xiaodong after getting dressed.

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, and he said, “Not good.”

Lu Yaobing pouted and hugged Song Xiaodong’s arm, saying, “Master, even if I’m not as good as the Mistress, you don’t have to hit my confidence like that, do you?”

Song Xiaodong said irritably, “I must hit your confidence; otherwise, you’ll become more and more unruly.”

Lu Yaobing shook Song Xiaodong’s arm, coyly saying, “You are the dearest master to me.”

Song Xiaodong, also feeling a bit helpless with Lu Yaobing, thought that this apprentice was spoiled, but he had to admit he quite liked this relationship too. He couldn’t bring himself to scold Lu Yaobing, so he said helplessly, “Alright, alright, if you keep shaking, I’ll fall apart. Now let’s go, get something to eat, and hurry to class.”

“Okay.” Lu Yaobing responded with a sweet smile, linking her arm through Song Xiaodong’s and opening the door to walk out.

But as soon as she stepped out, Lu Yaobing stopped in her tracks, surprised to see a woman in her forties standing at the door. “Mom, what are you doing here?”

This greeting shocked Song Xiaodong, seeing the woman who resembled Lu Yaobing quite a bit. Although she was in her forties, he could tell she was very beautiful in her youth. Her professional suit made her look quite spirited.

However, her expression was notably unpleasant at that moment, her face tense, eyes fixed on Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but darken his expression; clearly, Lu Yaobing’s mother had found out they were in a hotel room together and was standing at the door to catch them in the act. Especially with Lu Yaobing currently holding onto his arm, anyone would think the same, and now this was a real problem.

“Mom! What’s with that expression?” Lu Yaobing hadn’t realized the issue, letting go of Song Xiaodong’s arm to hook her mother’s, asking in confusion.

“Nice!” Lu Yaobing’s mother turned her head to her daughter, saying, “All grown up, and you know how to get a room with a man.”

Lu Yaobing finally realized why her mother was upset, her face turning red as she quickly said, “Mom, you misunderstand, this is Song Xiaodong from our school, Teacher Song.”

“What?” Hearing this, Lu Yaobing’s mother’s face became even more unpleasant, her eyes burning as she stared at Song Xiaodong, “You’re a teacher?”

Song Xiaodong secretly gave a bitter smile, saying, “Let’s go inside to talk.” He said this while turning back to open the door, walking directly in.

Lu Yaobing’s mother immediately stepped in, and Lu Yaobing hurriedly said, “Mom, you misunderstood, he’s really my teacher.”

“Ha ha…” Lu Yaobing’s mother let out a cold laugh, saying, “Teacher taking students to a hotel, Teacher Song, you’re quite something?”

Song Xiaodong didn’t reply, instead smiling and saying, “Please, have a seat, may I ask your name?”

Song Xiaodong’s composed demeanor only further angered Lu Yaobing’s mother, who pressed her lips together and said, “Now answer me, as a teacher, taking a student to a hotel, don’t you owe me an explanation?”

Lu Yaobing urgently said, “Mom, what are you doing? I told you, he’s my teacher.”

Lu Yaobing’s mother got even angrier, furiously saying, “You know he’s a teacher? If you were dating a classmate, I could turn a blind eye, but you’re actually dating a teacher, do you have any shame?”

“Ah…” It was only at this point that Lu Yaobing understood why her mother was angry, and she couldn’t help but laugh and cry, saying, “Mom, what nonsense! I’m not dating Song Teacher, he’s my master.”

“Master? What a mess, you’re not dating but come here to a hotel, is this a fling?” Lu Yaobing’s mother’s gaze was as if it could kill.

“Mom!” Lu Yaobing was also annoyed by her mother’s words, stomping her foot forcefully, saying, “Mom, how can you speak so unpleasantly.”

Lu Yaobing’s mother nearly hysterically said, “You can do it and I can’t talk about it?”

As a mother, her reaction was completely normal. Her daughter dating is unavoidable, but going to a hotel with a teacher was a big disgrace for her, hence she was very upset and angry.

Being scolded brought tears to Lu Yaobing’s eyes, and Song Xiaodong, feeling both amused and exasperated, hurriedly said, “Ms. Lu Yaobing’s mother, I think you’ve really misunderstood. Lu Yaobing is still chaste, still a young girl.”

“What?” Nothing was as effective as those words, Lu Yaobing’s mother immediately looked at Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly, saying, “If you’re worried, you can take Lu Yaobing for a check-up.”

Lu Yaobing’s mother, hearing this, found her anger subsiding quite a bit, a look of confusion appearing on her face as she said, “Then what are you two doing here?”

Song Xiaodong explained, “Let me introduce myself, I’m the Acupuncture Technique teacher for Lu Yaobing. She has a special talent in acupuncture, truly a rare talent, so I accepted her as my apprentice to pass on my skills. What I’m teaching her cannot be taught publicly or in the classroom, so I brought her here for lessons, to avoid being disturbed.”

Lu Yaobing’s mother furrowed her brow and asked, “How old are you this year?”

“I’m twenty-six.”

“Twenty-six…” Lu Yaobing’s mother’s frowned even more intensely, “Teacher Song, you’re really quite young.”

Lu Yaobing immediately said, “Mom, don’t underestimate Master because he’s young, Master is very skilled. With Master’s guidance, I can now perform acupuncture and I’m the best in my class at it.”

“I see…” Lu Yaobing’s mother looked at her daughter, saying, “Then I should thank Teacher Song.”

Lu Yaobing huffed, “What kind of person are you, coming in and accusing us without understanding the situation? Master, please don’t hold a grudge against my mom.”

Song Xiaodong chuckled slightly, saying, “Of course I won’t. I completely understand a mother’s need to protect her daughter. I’m also going to be a father, so I understand.”

However, Song Xiaodong saw from Lu Yaobing’s mother’s eyes that she didn’t fully trust him. Fearing that bringing up this apprentice in the future wouldn’t be easy.
