Luckily, people in this era were quite simple and honest. Because of that warning and disciplinary action, everyone speculated that Lu Rong had some issues with her character. Plus, given her unapproachable personality, there really wasn't anyone gossiping about her.
On Friday afternoon, as Lin Xiaoguai was packing up her things to head back, she heard Yang Xiaoli, who had just returned, say, "Xiao Guai, there's a man outside with a child looking for you."
She paused, her expression somewhat strange as she continued, "He also said he's your lover."
Had it not been for the man's decent appearance, she would have doubted his sanity.
Lin Xiaoguai was startled upon hearing this and went to the window to look down; indeed, Shen Chi was standing there.
Shen Chi saw her as well and waved at her, while Little Niangao jumped up and down excitedly, calling out for "Mommy".
Lin Xiaoguai smiled, made a gesture for them to wait a moment, and went downstairs.
