Chapter 775 - Chapter 775 Chapter 775 Sometimes Ignorance is Bliss

Chapter 775: Chapter 775: Sometimes Ignorance is Bliss Chapter 775: Chapter 775: Sometimes Ignorance is Bliss Suddenly, her wrist was grasped, causing Qiao Yun to pause abruptly, and she instinctively turned her head to look, only to see a person she hadn’t expected.

It was Li Hanzhou.

The man’s handsome face, against the light, seemed a bit blurred, but his upturned, affectionate peach blossom eyes were clearly visible.

Seeing him, Qiao Yun’s eyes slightly brightened, and the tone of her voice, unbeknownst to herself, carried a hint of joy as she asserted almost certainly, “You were waiting for me.”

Li Hanzhou indeed had been waiting for Qiao Yun, and had seen her coming from afar. However, he initially didn’t approach because the Lu couple was there. Seeing Qiao Yun now, a slight smile involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

The two attractive individuals quickly drew the attention of many.

Li Hanzhou didn’t rush to respond to Qiao Yun’s words, instead, he pulled her aside to move away from the crowd, then said, “I came to drop off Li Miao.”

Qiao Yun’s eyelids fluttered slightly, and she responded faintly with an “Oh.”

Li Hanzhou chuckled lightly, his voice leisurely, “Just kidding, I specifically came to wait for you.”

Qiao Yun raised her eyebrows, “Are you worried about my college entrance exam?”

“Hmm?” Li Hanzhou asked with a smile, “The college entrance exam shouldn’t be a big deal for Professor Qiao, should it?”

Qiao Yun nodded slightly, agreeing with his statement.

Li Hanzhou continued, “However, it’s rare to see Professor Qiao taking her exams. As her boyfriend, how could I not be part of the most important moment of your life?”

For her, it was just another ordinary exam. They both knew her capabilities well and truly didn’t need to worry about it.

But this time, not only her parents and brother but also Li Hanzhou were there. Even the grandparents had sent their caring greetings.

This was something Qiao Yun hadn’t anticipated, feeling both helpless and unspeakably warm in her heart.

She gazed at Li Hanzhou and reached out her small hand to hold his warm, dry hand, her voice softly saying, “I am very happy.”

Her happiness stemmed not only from Li Hanzhou’s attention but also from the care shown by others.

Despite Qiao Yun’s typically calm demeanor, it was hard to tell she was happy.

Li Hanzhou felt a complicated emotion, surprised that the little one would find joy in such an ordinary affair.

He regretted again that he hadn’t thought of her sooner.

If he had thought of her earlier, such a well-behaved girl he would have cherished and pampered, perhaps her personality wouldn’t be like this.

“It’s time to go in.”

Qiao Yun’s voice brought Li Hanzhou back to reality. He checked the time, indeed it was time, and then raised his hand to tousle Qiao Yun’s hair.

“If you do well, I’ll give you a reward.”

Qiao Yun showed a bit of interest, “What kind of reward?”

Li Hanzhou pretended to be mysterious, his voice lowered, “A date with me as the reward.”

Qiao Yun paused for a moment, her face tightening as she said, “You’re taking advantage of me.”

After all, she couldn’t possibly score poorly.

Li Hanzhou defended confidently, “You’re my girlfriend. If I don’t take advantage of you, shouldn’t I take advantage of someone else, huh?”

“Alright, alright,” Qiao Yun’s tone was indulgently like she was coaxing an unreasonable younger person.

They say love can make one’s IQ drop, and for that, Qiao Yun even conducted a test herself. Fortunately, her IQ was normal, but Li Hanzhou’s was still under observation.

Qiao Yun glanced at Li Hanzhou, deciding to find a time to check his brain.

Being stared at like this, Li Hanzhou inexplicably shivered, feeling that the little one seemed to be plotting something.

Qiao Yun withdrew her gaze and told Li Hanzhou she was heading in. Then, under his watchful eye, she walked into the examination room.

Watching Qiao Yun enter, Li Hanzhou didn’t hurry to leave. His gaze shifted and landed on the Lu couple, who, like other parents, were waiting for their child to finish the exam.

He walked towards them without any hesitation.

Lu Rui was the first to notice Li Hanzhou, and recently, due to Mr. Li’s situation, his attitude towards the Li Family had warmed considerably.

Seeing Li Hanzhou now, he greeted with a smile, “Master Li is also here, what a coincidence? Did you come to drop off your sister?”

Li Hanzhou half-seriously responded, “Yes, came to drop someone off.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Rui internally commented.

He hadn’t thought Li Hanzhou, usually so cold, would care so much about family, taking time out of his busy schedule to accompany his sister.

Mr. Li was right; Li Hanzhou might seem aloof, but due to some harsh experiences in his childhood, he is actually very tender at heart. Crafting such a cold exterior was all for self-protection; indeed, he’s quite the pitiable person.

Li Hanzhou, completely unaware that his grandfather had painted him as such a pitiable figure, saw Lu Rui unexpectedly let out a sigh and quizzically raised an eyebrow.

Su Mian knew at a glance what Lu Rui was thinking. She rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking only Lu Rui could be so naive. She reckoned that Li Hanzhou was definitely here waiting for Qiaoqiao; otherwise, the timing wouldn’t be so coincidental.

Su Mian’s feelings towards Li Hanzhou were quite mixed. Initially, she thought he was a good person for often keeping Qiaoqiao company, ensuring she wasn’t friendless.

Now she realized she was wrong. From the beginning, he had ulterior motives, and they had unwittingly welcomed a wolf into their midst.

However…

Su Mian sneaked another look at Li Hanzhou; the man was tall, with long legs, handsome features, and an extraordinary bearing–a truly talented individual.

In comparison, her two sons were practically novices beside a master.

It was over, once compared, she couldn’t find any fault at all, and with Grandpa Li’s intermittent sarcastic remarks, she couldn’t muster any dissatisfaction towards Han Zhou.

Although originally, Su Mian was quite satisfied with Han Zhou before she knew about his feelings for Qiao Yun.

Han Zhou sharply noticed Su Mian’s gaze and turned his head to glance at her.

Caught peeping, Su Mian tensed up, subconsciously revealing a sheepish smile, and with an awkward attempt to cover it up, she asked, “Mr. Li, would you like to wait together?”

A thoughtful flicker passed through Han Zhou’s eyes, his lips curved slightly, “Sure.”

Su Mian: Do the Li Family not know that there’s such a thing as polite conversation in this world?

Lu Rui, oblivious to his wife’s complex emotions, felt an increased fondness for Han Zhou upon hearing that he was willing to wait for Li Miao to finish her exam.

Valuing family like this was exactly like their own Lu Family.

He praised, “You’re really good to your sister.”

Han Zhou offered a meaningful smile, “Yeah, after all, she’s the most important person.”

Although this ‘sister’ was not that ‘sister’.

Seeing Lu Rui still looking foolishly content, Su Mian decided they’d better sleep in separate beds that night.

…

Han Zhou didn’t lie to the Lu couple; Li Miao really was in the same exam room as Qiao Yun, and he truly came to send off his sister, although it was conveniently on his way.

Unaware Li Miao, when encountering Qiao Yun in the exam venue, curiously murmured, “Qiaoqiao, guess who brought me here today?”

Qiao Yun nodded, “Zhouzhou.”

“How did you know?” Li Miao’s eyes widened in astonishment, and before Qiao Yun could answer, she exclaimed with a baffled face, “Can you believe it? He actually offered to bring me to the exam. It’s practically the ninth wonder of the world!”

Qiao Yun, seeing Li Miao so delightfully surprised, raised her hand and gently touched her head.

Suddenly having her head touched, Li Miao looked confused, “What’s up?”

“It’s nothing.” Qiao Yun calmly withdrew her hand, “Grandpa said, sometimes ignorance is bliss.”

Li Miao: ???

Typical Qiaoqiao, her words always so profound and inscrutable.

“Let’s not talk about this now.” Li Miao grabbed Qiao Yun’s hand, “Do well in the college entrance exam. Just treat it like any regular test, don’t be nervous.”

It’s said that many students who perform well usually get nervous and underperform during the college entrance exam, and Li Miao really feared that Qiaoqiao might end up making such a minor mistake.

Qiao Yun also encouraged her, “You too.”

This college entrance exam let her experience a different feeling of being human, and Qiao Yun was very pleased with herself.

After chatting for a few moments, Li Miao went off to prepare for the exam.

She wasn’t nervous at all because she planned to pursue an arts exam, aiming to become a big star just like her mother.

When the time came, an exam invigilator entered carrying the test papers.

Qiao Yun glanced at the paper and was pleased; it was, as usual, quite simple.

She picked up her pen and without any hesitation, and even without drafting, she briskly wrote down the answers.

The speed of her responses made the invigilator suspect she was just scribbling nonsense, so he walked over to check.

After looking for a while: “…”

The invigilator walked away in a daze.

This year’s candidates were out of his league, completely out of his league!

After completing all her answers, Qiao Yun casually looked up to see everyone else still writing vigorously. Deciding not to crush their confidence, she, like in past exams, set down her pen and sat there daydreaming.

…

While the examination was happening inside, the parents outside were frantic with worry.

Compared to other anxious parents, the Lu couple and Han Zhou were quite calm.

Seeing how composed Su Mian was, a mother couldn’t help but curiously ask, “You seem very confident in your child, not nervous at all. How does your child perform?”

“Not bad,” Su Mian said casually, though pride was nearly oozing from her face, shocking you to death if I really spoke up, my daughter is Professor Qiao, her brain isn’t one ordinary people can match.

Only modestly, Su Mian added, “She should just manage to get into Beijing University.”

Hearing this, several parents looked at Su Mian appraisingly; dressed so well, she must be wealthy.

The middle-aged woman who initiated the conversation inwardly sneered, another rich parent who spoils their child, shamelessly hoping for Beijing University, one of the top universities in the nation–one can’t just claim to enroll there. Perhaps they think money can buy a spot.

Unable to hold back, the woman sourly commented, “Some things shouldn’t be said too early, especially since it’s not over yet, to avoid too large a letdown later, making it hard on the child too. But looking at your family, you seem quite wealthy. Even if she doesn’t get in, you can afford to send her overseas for a golden opportunity.”

Su Mian, detecting the sourness in the woman’s tone, was unbothered and patiently inquired, “How is your child doing?”

Speaking of her own child, the woman proudly claimed, “My child does fairly well, ranks within the top twenty at Shengyang High School.”

Hearing this, other parents cast envious glances her way. Ranking in the top twenty might sound ordinary, but that’s at Shengyang High School, a breeding ground for top students,

Su Mian’s voice lifted: “What a coincidence, my daughter also attends Shengyang High School.”
