Chapter 38: Searching for Clues

Su Xiyan searched through all news reports from the twenty years after her birth, but found no news about a prominent family in the capital losing a child.

If she guessed correctly, the news was then tightly covered up.

Su Xiyan felt vexed, and everything fell into a deadlock again.

Su Xiyan grew even more impatient with others' gazes, although this person looked decent.

But the confidence he thought he concealed well in his eyes aroused Su Xiyan's disgust.

There are always some annoying, self‑assured men who think a little looks can make all women fall for them.

Since she found nothing in the library, she had no need to waste time here.

Without waiting for Yan Fanqing to approach, Su Xiyan instantly rose and turned to leave, giving him no chance at all.

Watching Su Xiyan's retreating back, Yan Fanqing curled the corner of his mouth.

Heh, playing hard to get with him?

He believed that tomorrow she would definitely come to this seat.

"Xiwei, the next class is Teacher Yan's! I'm really excited—I finally managed to snag a spot in his class!"

Listening to Liu Yiyi's chattering, Su Xiwei felt impatient inside but showed nothing on her face; she gave a restrained smile and said, "Yiyi, he's a teacher."

Moreover, it's that Yan again—Su Xiyan felt uneasy in her heart; just hearing his name made her feel ill‑omened.

Liu Yiyi cupped her face, lovesick, saying, "What's wrong with the teacher? After I graduate, we'll be alumni!"

Moreover, if you don't take advantage of being in school now to get more face time, you won't have the chance after graduation!

You don't know—those flirtatious junior schoolgirls are crazier than me; as soon as they entered school, they went to confess to Teacher Yan!

"That Teacher Yan really does have charm."

Although she said that, in Su Xiwei's heart he was merely a college instructor—nothing compared to her brother Feng Yan.

Liu Yiyi asked strangely, "Hey, Xiwei, you don't even know Teacher Yan's reputation—how did you manage to snag his class?"

Teacher Yan's class is famously the hardest to get into among all universities in the capital!

Su Xiwei smiled and said, "Really? I just clicked and got in—it was simple."

"Sorry for keeping you all waiting; I went to the city library and got stuck in traffic on the way back, so I'm late."

A voice as gentle as spring breeze sounded; Su Xiwei instinctively looked up and saw Yan Fanqing, warm and jade‑like, elegant as orchid and jade tree, and her eyes lit up.

Beside her ear came Liu Yiyi's stifled exclamation: "Here he comes, here he comes—Teacher Yan is really too handsome! I feel like I'm going to faint!"

Seeing the suddenly noisy classroom, Yan Fanqing, long accustomed to it, smiled faintly and said:

"Alright everyone, settle down—we're starting roll call now."

"Wang Yuan"

"Present"

"Liu Yiyi"

"Present"

His long fingers pointed to Su Xiwei's name; Yan Fanqing paused slightly and lifted his head,

"Su Xiwei"

"Present"

Seeing Su Xiwei's smile that she thought was gentle and gracious but actually betrayed a flirtatious intent, Yan Fanqing lowered his head without changing his expression.

Inside he sneered, "Heh, is this really Yan Moci's wife?"

With a wife like that, Yan Moci's head probably won't sport any nice colors.

Not even a strand of hair can compare to that girl he just saw in the library—although she exudes an icy temperament all over, she is pure and limpid everywhere, making one lose oneself in her.

"Okay, that's it for today's class—dismissed."

After class, Yan Fanqing gathered his things, preparing to leave.

"Oh dear, Yiyi, I'm going home."

"Xiwei, please, could you keep me company? I have a question about today's lesson I want to ask Teacher Yan."

"Hmph, fine, fine—I can't stand you, just a little while—my brother Feng Yan is still waiting outside."

"Mhm! Xiwei, I knew you dote on me the most!"

As they talked, Liu Yiyi pulled Su Xiwei over to Yan Fanqing's side.

Hearing Su Xiwei mention Feng Yan, Yan Fanqing frowned.

He is the eldest son of the Feng Clan Group, which has only recently been healed—Feng Yan.

I never expected Su Xiwei to dare openly mingle among the top elite families—doesn't she fear that if Yan Huaian finds out, he'll wipe out the whole Su Family?

Yan Fanqing's gaze involuntarily fell, probing, upon Su Xiwei.

Noticing Yan Fanqing's gaze, Su Xiwei gave a timely smile: "Teacher Yan, Yiyi has a question she wants to ask you."

Yan Fanqing withdrew his gaze, looked at Yiyi, and said, "This classmate, what's your question?"

After leaving the classroom, Liu Yiyi, lovesick, said, "Xiwei, Teacher Yan is really so handsome~"

Seeing Feng Yan waiting a while in the distance, Su Xiwei apologized, "Yiyi, my brother Feng Yan has been waiting for me a long time—I have to go first."

"Mhm! Xiwei, I'm really jealous of you—you actually have a domineering CEO like Feng Yan who's so devoted to you."

Su Xiwei watched Yan Fanqing just walk out in the distance, gave Liu Yiyi a playful wink, and said, "You could also have Teacher Yan, couldn't you?"

Noticing Yan Fanqing's gaze coming her way, Su Xiwei gave him an inconspicuous blink, her eyes flowing, utterly bewitching.

Seeing Yan Fanqing startled, he seemed somewhat at a loss and averted his gaze.

Su Xiwei felt triumphant inside—Feng Yan is her ultimate destination, but if Yan Fanqing could add some color to her dull campus life, that wouldn't be bad either.

Compared to those clueless, penniless youngsters, Yan Fanqing's pure‑hearted university professorship is obviously more suitable as her plaything.

Feeling Yan Fanqing's gaze escorting her all the way into Feng Yan's car, Su Xiwei truly enjoyed the sensation of being attended to by a high‑quality man.

After Su Xiwei left, Yan Fanqing withdrew his gaze.

Such a two-faced, quite capable woman could drive away Liu Huanyu, and he wouldn't find it strange; after all, without his help, Liu Huanyu has always been as stupid as a pig.

However, as long as Yan Moci dies, afterwards the entire Yan Family will be his.

Now, Su Xiwei openly together with Feng Yan, if they intend to plot the Yan Family's assets, then he must step in and manage it.

Thinking of this, Yan Fanqing's pupil color instantly deepened, the depths of his eyes as cold and vicious as a knife.

After Su Xiyan returned home, she never went back to her room; Dongzi stood inside the room, feeling the century cold air produced by Yan Moci, truly like sitting on pins and needles, days feeling like years.

"What is she doing outside?"

Dongzi swallowed, "Reporting to Boss, the Eldest daughter-in-law is just as before, unaware that you have awakened, watching TV downstairs."

Yan Moci suppressed his anger, "Is she not even preparing to give me acupuncture and massage today?"

Dongzi suggested, "How about I secretly call the Eldest daughter-in-law up?"

"No need!" Yan Moci turned his head away in anger, but he couldn't absorb a single word of the book in his hand.

"Boss, there is something I need to tell you, that is the Eldest daughter-in-law's background.

"It might be a bit problematic."

Hearing Dongzi's hesitant voice, Yan Moci immediately turned his head.

He frowned and asked:

"What's going on?"
