“Li Miaoke!” An angry voice suddenly sounded from the front.

Li Miaoke raised her head reflexively and happened to meet the furious eyes of her headteacher. She asked blankly, “Ms. Wang, what’s the matter?”

“You dare to ask me? Let me ask you, what were you thinking just now?” Ms. Wang, the headteacher of Li Miaoke’s class, was so angry that she knocked on the table.

“Nothing. I was not thinking about anything.” Li Miaoke’s face instantly blushed.

“Stand up and listen carefully. After class, follow me to the office.” Ms. Wang clearly did not believe Li Miaoke.

After class, Li Miaoke went to the teacher’s office and looked pitifully at Ms. Wang. “I’m sorry, Ms. Wang. I won’t be distracted during class next time. Please don’t…”

The headteacher put down the textbook in her hands, saying earnestly, “Li Miaoke, the college entrance exam is coming soon. All the students are working hard, but you are distracted in class. What you have done is not responsible for yourself!”

“But Ms. Wang, I have improved in my study recently,” Li Miaoke said in a low voice, “So, can you forgive me this time and don’t call my parents over here?”

“Are you even trying to bargain with me?” The headteacher snorted. “Unfortunately, it’s too late. I’ve already contacted your parents. They should be about to arrive at this time.”

Hearing what Ms. Wang said, Li Miaoke felt like she was going crazy. Just as she was planning how to escape, someone knocked on the office door. Ms. Wang glanced at Li Miaoke, who was restless in the office, and then said loudly, “Come in, please.”

Li Miaoke’s body stiffened as she looked at the office door. When she saw the man who pushed the door open and entered, her eyes instantly widened. “F*ck, what are you doing here?!”

The person who came in was nobody else but Huo Quan, who had just separated from Li Miaoke not long ago!

Huo Quan heard Li Miaoke’s grumpy voice as soon as he opened the door to the office. His nice brows furrowed slightly. “Miaoke, I just told you not to swear earlier today.”

Li Miaoke shrunk her neck and said, “I didn’t say it on purpose. I… I was just too surprised.”

Didn’t Ms. Wang call her parents? Why did Huo Quan come here? Didn’t this man have a mountain of work piled up, and his time was measured in seconds?

Huo Quan’s gaze fell on Li Miaoke, and his brows furrowed again. Li Miaoke’s heart skipped a beat. What happened? She had already apologized. Why was this man still looking at her like that? Gosh! Did he know that his gaze was rather frightening?

“Have you been standing here the whole time?”

“Huh?”

Li Miaoke was stunned. She didn’t understand what Huo Quan meant. Just as she was about to ask him in detail, Huo Quan suddenly sat down on a chair at the side and beckoned to her. “Come over here.”

Li Miaoke was stunned. “What?” Her mind couldn’t keep up with him. Of course, she didn’t need to. Seeing that Li Miaoke didn’t respond, Huo Quan quickly pulled her to him, pressed her onto his lap, and hugged her.

Li Miaoke was so shocked that she got speechless.

Her headteacher was still in the office! Jesus! She would rather die!

At this moment, Ms. Wang’s face was more than shocked. It was as dark as a piece of burnt meat.

“Are you Li Miaoke’s parent?”

Ms. Wang’s voice was filled with suspicion. After all, this man in front of her did not seem to be a father, no matter how she looked at him.

“No,” Huo Quan replied rather decisively.

“Then you are…” Ms. Wang hesitated. She remembered that she had called Li Miaoke’s parents.

“I am her husband.” Huo Quan’s gaze fell on the headteacher as he asked calmly, “And now, can you give me the reason for punishing my wife physically?”

Again, Li Miaoke was speechless.

Oh, Lord! She would rather be killed! How could she have the face to live in this world anymore? Did this man have any idea the consequence of saying these words in front of her headteacher?!

Li Miaoke struggled to get off Huo Quan’s embrace, but Huo Quan forcefully stopped her. He even bent down to massage her calves.

The headteacher, Ms. Wang, was already dumbfounded by Huo Qua’s series of actions.

“It has been 32 minutes since I received your call. During the 32 minutes, you sat on the chair to rest, but you let my wife stand by the side and listen to your scolding obediently, right?” Huo Quan’s tone did not change as he spoke, and there was no emotion in his voice.

However, Li Miaoke, who knew quite well about Huo Quan, realized that he really got angry.

“I didn’t…” Ms. Wang reflexively retorted, but Huo Quan would never give her the chance to do it.

“If all teachers in Kinsland High School have the same quality as yours, then there’s no need for this school to exist,” Huo Quan said quite the shocking words in a calm voice.
