Sponsored chapter (1/5)
Yu Baihan sat beside Lu Huan with an impeccable posture, his shoulders erect. Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, casting an air of formality about him.
The security guard stood there, eyes darting between the two of them, bewildered. Wasn’t this the delivery guy?
Lu Huan lightly rested his delicate fingers on his chopsticks, gazing at Yu Baihan for a few moments before returning his attention to his meal. Words danced on the tip of his tongue, but he finally remarked, “Family.”
Yu Baihan shifted his gaze to Lu Huan. Family members?
He wondered how Lu Huan could be so oblivious to everyone’s identity.
Yu Baihan probed, “Oh, Mr. Lu, are you referring to one of your tens of thousands of family members?”
Lu Huan, slightly incredulous, replied, “Where do I have thousands of family members?”
“Of course, I’ve conjured them up for you.”
See, forgetful as always.
The atmosphere in the office grew somewhat delicate. The security guard, lingering at the door, was torn between staying and leaving.
After a brief silence, Lu Huan suddenly broke into laughter, his eyes crinkling with amusement. “So, Baihan, what would you like to hear?”
He shifted his gaze to Yu Baihan’s profile. “Madam Lu?”
Yu Baihan’s heart skipped a beat at the affectionate title, and a satisfied smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Hmm, maybe it didn’t have to be so cheesy.
Lu Huan’s eyes landed on that quirked corner of Yu Baihan’s mouth. He moistened his own lower lip and then directed his words to the nearly petrified security guard by the door, “Did you catch that? You can leave now.”
“…Yes, Mr. Lu.”
The security guard departed, still in a daze, and closed the door behind him.
With the door safely closed, Yu Baihan’s posture relaxed once more. He casually picked at his noodles and said with mock humility, “Why are you saying it Madam Lu…” His words trailed off as his eyes sparkled.
Lu Huan caught on and played along. “Oh, what term would you prefer?”
“How about ‘I’m your wild boy’?”
Lu Huan arched an eyebrow. “It might be better as ‘Mrs. Lu’.”
Before they could finish their meal, there was another knock on the office door. Yao Xingran, holding a tablet, pushed it open. Her voice faltered upon seeing Yu Baihan standing there, and she quickly backed out, stammering, “I… I just wanted to report something. It can wait.”
“Come back,” Lu Huan instructed, his brow furrowed. “If you have something to say, say it.”
Yao Xingran hesitated, casting a glance at Yu Baihan. “Do I need to come back later? Am I disturbing you?”
Yu Baihan, catching her hesitation, quipped, “Should I step out? Don’t let me hinder your work.”
“No, no, no…” Yao Xingran shook her head rapidly. She didn’t want to interrupt Madam’s visit!
She went on to give Lu Huan a concise report and promptly left the office after receiving Lu Huan’s nod.
As the door closed behind her, Yao Xingran let out a sigh of relief.
…Surprise! Mr. Lu’s Queen has arrived!
Deciding to share this exciting news with her “Sisters Gossip Group” in the company, Yao Xingran opened the group chat and was greeted with 99 messages already.
The news that “Mrs. Lu” had brought lunch for Mr. Lu had taken over the conversation.
“I thought it was just the delivery guy, but it turns out to be Mrs. Lu!”
“Why do all the delivery guys look so good? They’re obviously Mr. Lu’s targets.”
“What does Mrs. Lu look like? I’m so curious. [Let me be healthy.jpg]”
“He’s simply pure and clean, the ideal image of a first love~”
Yao Xingran took a deep breath: Mrs. Lu sure knows how to make an entrance at the company. He truly deserves the title of Queen…
No, not just an ordinary Queen!
Meanwhile, the “Demon Queen of the Generation” Yu Baihan was oblivious to his newfound fame in Lu Huan’s company chat.
After they finished their meal, they placed the bowls and chopsticks back into the thermos together.

…
When he arrived home, he was still contemplating whether Lu Huan had the same stomach issues as the CEO. To put this to rest, he decided to make a call to Zhong Bingqi.
Yu Baihan contemplated: When Lu Huan returns home, he should have a thorough check-up done. Ignoring the boss’s stubbornness, they could use the diagnostic report to clarify things.
So that evening, when Lu Huan returned home, he overheard Yu Baihan and Zhong Bingqi in the living room discussing something:
“So, according to the law of conservation, if I add a few red dates and wolfberries to Lu Huan’s wine, would it counteract the potential harm to his stomach?”
“There might be new issues surfacing that could affect Mr. Lu’s appetite.”
Lu Huan interjected, “…”
He strolled down the hallway and entered the living room, observing the two individuals deeply engrossed in their scheme at the coffee table. “What exactly are you doing?”
A chilly tone entered the room.
Zhong Bingqi promptly stood and greeted with a friendly smile, “Mr. Lu.”
Yu Baihan gestured, “You’re finally back. Go upstairs with Brother Zhong for an examination.”
Lu Huan sneered, “Is there something wrong with me?”
Yu Baihan pulled him up to head upstairs and reassured him, “Don’t evade medical treatment. You might just be in good health.”
“…heh.”
Upstairs in the Lu residence, there was a dedicated examination room.
Ten minutes later, Lu Huan was already standing in front of the equipment, still in his formal attire, his entire being perfectly positioned.
Yu Baihan pointed at Lu Huan’s stomach and told Zhong Bingqi, “Especially focus on this area.”
His finger brushed a spot that was warm and resilient. The muscles beneath his touch seemed to quiver for a moment before his hand was seized with a snap!
“Si Baihan.”
Yu Baihan turned to meet Lu Huan’s intense gaze.
He pulled his hand back and spoke gently, “Don’t get agitated. We still need to measure your blood pressure and heart rate.”
Lu Huan, “…”
Zhong Bingqi, who was observing, “…”
After the examination was completed, some of the results were available right away.
The findings confirmed that Lu Huan was in excellent physical condition, and there were no significant stomach issues. Zhong Bingqi left after offering a few words of advice.
In the examination room, the two men exchanged glances.
“…….”
“…….”
Yu Baihan broke the silence, “You’re fine, and that makes me very happy.”
Lu Huan locked eyes with him for a long moment, eventually suppressing the emotions that surged within him. “If you find staying at home too dull, find something to occupy yourself.”
Anything.
Just don’t turn into a mischief-maker.
Yu Baihan accepted this sagacious counsel, “I’ll think about it then.”
…
However, despite Lu Huan’s suggestion to find something to occupy his time, Yu Baihan couldn’t immediately think of what to do.
On the following day, he paid a visit to the Archery Club once more.
It had been a few days since his last visit, but as he entered the club, an arrow whizzed by and landed squarely in the bull’s-eye.
Impressed, he clapped his hands and exclaimed, “Excellent shot!”
Turning around after his spontaneous praise, he locked eyes with Zheng Song, who was holding the bow.
“…”
“…”
Zheng Song’s expression soured. “You’re mocking me?”
Yu Baihan, however, didn’t take it personally. “No, it was a genuine compliment.”
Unconvinced, Zheng Song retorted, “Hmph! Just because you’re with Senior Lu or whoever, don’t think I’m afraid of you.”
With that, he took a few steps back, still gripping his bow, before quickly leaving.
Yu Baihan, “…”
As Zheng Song departed, He Yue approached from the other end, his demeanor cheery. “You’re here! We’re practicing today.”
“Practicing?” Yu Baihan surveyed the surroundings. There were more club members present than usual.
“Yes, there’s a league competition in a few days.” He Yue informed him, a tinge of regret in his voice. “Honestly, with your skills, you’d easily make our official team. Sadly, you’re not a student at C University, so you can’t participate.”
Yu Baihan shared this disappointment. He had entertained the thought of joining a league before, but his school’s club didn’t meet the criteria.
He gazed outside, where the archery field was bathed in daylight, the garden lush and green. The vibrant chatter of club members blended with the faint sound of arrows striking their targets, creating an atmosphere of youthful exuberance and freshness that was characteristic of campus life.
With a new idea forming, Yu Baihan suggested, “How about I enroll in your school?”
He Yue seemed puzzled. “What?”
Yu Baihan withdrew his gaze, enthusiasm brimming. “I’m considering taking the postgraduate entrance exam at C University. It just so happens that Lu Huan mentioned yesterday that I should find something to do.”
He Yue was taken aback by this sudden decision, then sighed. “Senior Lu cares a lot about you. He was worried you’d get bored.”
Yu Baihan smiled modestly. “It goes both ways.”
For him, this was his way of showing gratitude for Lu Huan’s concern the previous day.
—
When he returned home that evening, Yu Baihan revealed his plans to attend C University to Lu Huan.
Anticipating a barrage of questions, he was taken aback when Lu Huan simply responded with, “Alright.”
Yu Baihan blinked in surprise. “Really?”
Lu Huan seemed oddly relieved. “Why wouldn’t I support you? Expanding your knowledge is always a good thing.” With that, he cleared his desk of all files and powered up his computer. “Have you thought about which major you want to pursue?”
Yu Baihan glanced at the desk, which now harbored piles of pushed-aside cooperation documents. It was clear just how much his academic aspirations were being prioritized.
Lu Huan swiftly brought up C University’s official website on the computer screen, and he even helped navigate through the pages. Taking full advantage of this support, Yu Baihan eventually settled on a major within the Department of Chinese.
This seemed like the right choice. Proficiency in the Chinese language could make traveling around the world much more manageable.
Lu Huan made a note of his choice and sent a message to Fan Lin, instructing him to prepare the necessary books and materials.
Yu Baihan couldn’t help but ask, “So, am I going to self-study at home, or will I have a team of tutors from your staff?”
To his surprise, Lu Huan nodded in agreement. “Right.”
Yu Baihan’s eyebrows shot up. ?
Lu Huan fixed his gaze on him. “Tomorrow morning, I’ll take you to the College of Liberal Arts at C University, where you can meet with a tutor to begin your lessons.”
…
Lu Huan, a prominent graduate from the Business School of University C, was not someone Yu Baihan had expected to accompany to the Faculty of Liberal Arts.
The following morning, the duo made their way to University C, traversing a substantial portion of the campus until they reached the Faculty of Liberal Arts.
Curiosity got the better of Yu Baihan. “How did you come to know a tutor in the Faculty of Liberal Arts?”
“Being an honorary alumni helps. The deans of different colleges tend to know each other.”
Yu Baihan couldn’t help but express his admiration. “Our classmate Lu is truly remarkable!”
Lu Huan cast a sidelong glance at him.
As they strolled by the campus bell tower, adjacent to the Wall of Honor, Yu Baihan urged Lu Huan to halt and pulled him next to the photographs. “Stay put; I’ll take a picture for you.”
Lu Huan twitched his forehead. “Please don’t make it seem like a mugshot.”
Yu Baihan, already holding up his phone, reassured him. “No worries, you look good in any shot.”
*Click*, the photo was instantly added to his album.
Yu Baihan then lowered his gaze to inspect the result. The bust photo on the Wall of Honor was vivid, and Lu Huan, standing beside it, appeared quite handsome.
However, one detail…
He glanced upwards at the lattice structure on the ceiling above the Wall of Honor.
The morning sunlight filtered through the lattices, casting elongated shadows across Lu Huan’s figure. These shadows were inadvertently captured by the camera, creating an effect resembling a prison photo.
Lu Huan also examined the image on the screen, his expression growing silent.
Yu Baihan broke the silence, his fingers hovering over the screen. “…Not bad, it’s got a distinct prison vibe.”
A chilly voice from above chimed in, “Delete it.”
Yu Baihan obediently deleted the picture, and then stowed his phone away. “Let’s move along; this isn’t the best place for photos.”
“Hehe.”
The Faculty of Liberal Arts building was situated in the western section of the campus, separated from the administrative building and the classroom building by a broad avenue bordered with trees.
Lu Huan led Yu Baihan straight to the third floor of the administration building.
Stopping in front of the dean’s office, he extended his hand to knock gently. A soft, middle-aged male voice emanated from within, “Please come in.”
As they pushed open the door, a neat and well-lit office greeted their eyes.
At the desk stood Dean Xue Qin, dressed in a Chinese-style short-sleeved shirt with buttons, presenting a scholarly appearance. Upon spotting Lu Huan, Xue Qin broke into a warm smile. “It’s been a while, and it’s a rare sight to have you back at your alma mater.”
Lu Huan nodded politely, “Dean Xue.”
Xue Qin then turned his attention to Yu Baihan. “Is this the young man you’ve asked me to guide?”
Yu Baihan extended a friendly greeting, “Hello, Dean Xue, my name is Baihan.”
Xue Qin chuckled, stroking his chin. “What an interesting surname!”
Lu Huan thought to himself: Is he somehow related to He Yue?
Feeling the need to clarify, he interjected, “It’s Si, Si Baihan.”
Xue Qin, while still stroking his chin, paused for a moment and then blinked his eyes twice. Finally, he opened them slightly wider. “The surname is Si… Xiao Lu, is this the one you married…”
Lu Huan calmly affirmed, “Yes.”
Xue Qin audibly inhaled. “N.. I’m quite surprised.”
Yu Baihan eyed him suspiciously for a moment. It almost sounded like the first two words were “No way.”
Xue Qin quickly corrected himself. “I mean, it’s truly unexpected.”
Yu Baihan pondered for a moment.
Is he hallucinating? It indeed sounded like he wanted to say, “No way.”
“Alright, I understand now.” Xue Qin, displaying remarkable adaptability, patted Yu Baihan’s shoulder and regained his composed demeanor. “The major you’ve chosen happens to be the one I teach. Feel free to attend my classes whenever you like. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Your success in the exams is entirely up to you!”
Yu Baihan expressed his gratitude. “Thank you, Dean Xue.”
Lu Huan also conveyed his thanks and, as the time was approaching, prepared to leave for the company. Xue Qin waved him off and didn’t detain him. “You can go.”
As Lu Huan was about to exit, Xue Qin suddenly exclaimed, “Oh, right…”
He retrieved his mobile phone and excitedly addressed Yu Baihan. “You haven’t seen the video of Lu Huan delivering a speech as a freshman representative when he first entered the university, have you?”
Just as the door started to open, Lu Huan halted abruptly.
Unaware of this behind his back, Yu Baihan responded with enthusiasm, “No, I haven’t. Please show it to me.”
Xue Qin deftly navigated through his phone’s contents. “It’s a classic, just wait.”
Curious about what made it so classic, Yu Baihan waited with interest.
But then he felt a slight tug on his wrist, a force nearly pulling him into a warm embrace.
Stumbling slightly, he looked up and encountered Lu Huan’s slightly anxious expression.
Perplexed, he inquired, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Huan pressed his lips together, his grip on Yu Baihan’s hand tightening. “Don’t look.”
He hurriedly added, as if trying to cover it up, “There’s nothing worth seeing anyway.”
Awww I’m fairly certain Hubby is not going to live this down.
Yu Baihan being the little mischievous daredevil he is, will definitely get ahold of that video XD
