Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Pretending not to know

Suizi was mentally prepared, thinking he was going to talk about his father-in-law.

"When you hit Yu Shuilian right here, I’ve been wanting to ask you—"

Yu Jingting gestured to his chest.

"Who taught you to hit people there?"

"???"

She was all ready to be a sympathetic ear, prepared to hear his innermost feelings -- but this was it?

"Just a reminder that your father might still be alive, right?"

Suizi subtly hinted, shouldn’t they be discussing what to do next now?

"I’ve figured out what I’m going to do about him, but right now I’m more interested in why you hit people there."

As he spoke and gestured, the actions he mimicked could only be described with one word: lewd.

"When you women fight, do you all aim straight for the ’conscience’?"

"I heard her howl pretty badly, but I don’t have one of those things so I can’t feel it--why don’t you describe to me what it feels like?"

"Did you get this brilliant idea from how I usually dealt with you——"

"Enough!" Suizi felt his conversation was going off the rails, as she pointed to his nose, "you shut up!"

An angered and embarrassed Suizi stormed into the room, Yu Jingting followed her in, chattering along the way out of habit.

"Getting anxious and you start speaking bird language? But maybe I am a bird, since I understood, you want me to shut up~"

I won’t shut up!

That night, someone talked so much nonsense that Suizi had to cover her ears, not mentioning anything serious.

It took Suizi half a day to figure out what he was thinking.

Why did he seem troubled one moment, but the moment she wanted to give him a comforting hug, he avoided talking about it?

Why didn’t he want to discuss a solution with her?

With these thoughts in mind, Suizi drifted off during class, and while the Principal was in a meeting, she mindlessly drew on a piece of paper, thinking about him.

"Director, what are you drawing? Such a strange bottle." Zhang Yue’e wanted to see what Suizi was writing down, but all she saw was strange bottles all over the paper.

"This is a Klein bottle."

To Suizi, Yu Jingting was like a Klein bottle.

Looking at the seemingly simple construct of a four-dimensional bottle, but no matter how much water you poured in, it never seemed to fill up.

Just like how Suizi thought that every of Yu Jingting’s actions were simple, but when combined, they were difficult to decipher.

The Principal spoke with great enthusiasm until his saliva was flying everywhere, when he glanced down, he almost choked.

Director Xiaochen is openly slacking off with her subordinates, and she doesn’t even give a damn about him!

So angry, but he couldn’t say anything!

The Principal didn’t dare to offend Suizi, and it was truly vexing. He stayed in his office the entire day, not coming out and didn’t even eat lunch out of anger.

All that was left was a solitary and desolate silhouette.

"What’s up with the Principal? Is he upset?" Xiaozhao, the recently transferred colleague, asked out of curiosity.

Xiaoli shook her head with a look of world-weariness.

"You as a young girl wouldn’t understand the heart of a man. Sometimes we men like to be alone. The Principal is under a lot of pressure, he needs some alone time!"

"Then why doesn’t he talk to his wife? It would be nice to discuss things together if there is an issue."

Suizi who was passing by stopped, erected her ears and started eavesdropping.

"You just don’t understand men! Only women like to discuss problems when they occur. Have you ever seen a group of men gathering around and squawking when they encounter an issue?"

Suizi suddenly understood.

So that’s how it is, men are such simple yet complicated creatures.

If the Principal knew about Suizi’s exceptional reading comprehension, he might start crying unfairly. He simply could not deal with Director Xiaochen, all of his pressure came from Director Xiaochen, wailing!

It was almost time to get off work, and the Principal who had been sulking all day called Suizi into his office.

"Chenchen ah, your belly is getting quite big now, when are you going to take your maternity leave?"

"I feel fine physically, and I want to continue making my contributions at work." Suizi spoke sincerely, mainly because she was not willing to lose her salary.

Getting paid for reading the newspaper is an opportunity no one would want to miss.

"You keep making your contributions and I’ll be toast -- I mean, I’ve already discussed with the superiors. Due to your situation, it’s not convenient for you to keep running around. You can work from home for the next few months, your salary will remain the same. If there is any issue, I’ll have Wangwang and the others come to you. You just need to have one meeting a week."

"That’s really not good -- let’s start from tomorrow then."

Suizi’s attitude improved immediately when she heard that her salary would remain the same.

The Principal felt a weight get lifted off his shoulders, great, without her coming in, he can finally breathe freely.

"Principal, don’t worry, if I can’t come, I can ask Jingting to come over everyday——"

"Cough!" The Principal choked on the free air, constantly waving his hands, "No! Please don’t!"

He just managed to send away the regent, now bringing in a "Prince Regent", does he even want to live!

In the Principal’s eyes, the couple Suizi and Jingting were simply weirdos.

The woman enjoys tormenting his heart with the most "ordinary" tactics, while the man enjoys tormenting his body with brute force!

"If there’s any issue, I’ll have Wangwang come over to you. Brother Jingting is so busy, please don’t ask him to come -- please try not to go out as much as possible."

The Principal smiled insincerely, murmuring in his heart, just let this quirky couple lock their doors and have a go at each other.

Fearing that Suizi might change her mind about working from home, the Principal pulled out a big bag of apples from under his desk and gave them all to Suizi.

"Chenchen, you’ve never let me down with your work performance, but it’s just...." please don’t come anymore!

Yu Jingting came a bit late today, Suizi wanted to wait for him at school.

Fearing that Yu Jingting might persuade Suizi to change her mind, the Principal ordered Zhang Yue’e and Wang Mengmeng to escort Suizi home.

One of them carried the apples for Suizi, the other carried the plant from Suizi’s office, they must ensure Suizi gets home safe.

After sending off Suizi, the Principal started humming a cheerful tune.

"Ah my friend, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!"

She even took the plants home, now the old Buddha can’t use watering the plants as an excuse to come back to school. The Principal felt like a genius.

As they passed by the department store, sharp-eyed Wang Mengmeng pointed ahead.

"Isn’t that the Director’s man?"

Yu Jingting was standing in front of a display window, concentrating on something.

Wang Mengmeng wanted to call out to him, but was pulled back by Suizi.

"You two have worked hard, head back."

Across the street, Suizi silently watched him. She could only see his profile and even his expression was blurred due to the distance.

But she seemed to be able to feel his mood at the moment, guessing that he had a gentle smile on his face.

The display window was showcasing a set of children’s toys.

The man who was engrossed in his own world and lost track of time, was focused on the toys, picturing in his mind the scene of their child playing with them.

At this moment, Suizi suddenly understood.

He deliberately glossed over the issue of his father last night because of her pregnancy.

She was pregnant and couldn’t be left alone, and he would inevitably have to run around to investigate the truth.

She wanted the young boy in her heart to always be carefree, and he also wanted the girl in his heart not to bear too much.

For sure he has to find his biological father, but just not now.

Suizi’s eyes began to tear up, she closed her eyes to regulate her emotions, and when she opened them again, she acted as if nothing had happened.

He doesn’t want her to know, then she’ll pretend not to know.

Men, occasionally need a little secrecy and space.
