Chapter 1511 - She’s Like The Wind 1

Summer seemed to have arrived early this year. After May Day, the weather had slowly become warmer. The sun was scorching in June and boiling in July, signifying that it was midsummer. In the blink of an eye, several months had passed.During this period of time, everyone’s life seemed to have returned to peace.

They had gone back to the quiet and simple life of going out to work early and returning from work late at night.

In the past few months, nothing out of the ordinary happened. However, a month ago, Mu Lingshi gave birth to a boy in the Townsperson Hospital of City B. Ah Mo and Gu Qiwu were both elated. A few days before the expected due date, Zhuang Shurong had also rushed over. When everyone back at City Z heard the news, they were ecstatic.

Ah Mo requested Mu Yinan to christen the child. The old man thought about it for several days, and finally named the child Mu Qiye, which meant precious and bright, in hopes that he could have a bright future.

The good news felt like billows and waves in the quiet days. Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye went to see Mu Lingshi as well. They were relieved to see that she was recovering well after giving birth, and she had grown plumper than before.

It was sunset again and there was a faint afterglow at dusk.

At this very moment, at the Vice-Chancellor’s office of University A in City Z, Dongfang Liuyun was there in a long white shirt, paired with a pair of cropped trousers and white canvas shoes. She wore her waist-length hair down and was standing in front of the Vice-Chancellor, Xi Mushan’s desk, with a black backpack in her hand.

She still had the same expression that was as cold as the wind. In fact, Xi Mushan never seemed to feel any other emotions from this young girl. He only knew that she was just like his daughter as they were both very capable. However, the woman in front of him was wiser and more mysterious than Xiaye.

“What’s the matter, Teacher Dongfang?”

Xi Mushan put down the file in his hand and was about to get up. However, Dongfang Liuyun, who was standing in front of him, reached out and left a letter in her hand on the desk in front of him.

“Vice-Chancellor Xi, this is my resignation letter. I don’t want to teach anymore.”

Her sudden request took Xi Mushan by surprise, he asked, “Resign? Why? Is it because you think that our welfare isn’t good enough?”

Dongfang Liuyun shook her head, and her mouth curved into a faint smile. “No, I never cared much about teaching. Now that the doctoral degree of University A has been confirmed, it’s time for me to leave. Being a teacher doesn’t really suit me.”

“Why would you say so? I personally went to a few lectures of courses you taught. I thought it was well done. Moreover, your lectures are always full. You’re loved by the students and are a role model to the teachers. Why would you quit your job all of a sudden? I always thought that you’d be happy working here.”

Xi Mushan was bewildered. In fact, the school’s application for the doctoral degree would not have passed the assessment so quickly if it was not for her efforts. Otherwise, the application might still be pending at the moment.

“I’ve said it before that I’m actually not too interested in teaching. I devoted myself to the job because it’s my obligation and that’s my principle. Moreover, I’m...not just a teacher,” Dongfang Liuyun said faintly.

Xi Mushan could not tell her emotions from her eyes that were as deep as the sea, but he thought about it, and suddenly, he seemed to understand something...

That was right. Dongfang Liuyun was not just a legend. Her background was also impressive. She was a woman with a remarkable background, beauty, and wisdom. Even Xi Mushan himself admired her, especially her personality.

Actually, according to his understanding, Dongfang Liuyun was a very simple and intelligent person. She was very smart, and she had a pair of piercing eyes that could see through the world.

She never depended on the status or power of her parents as she was very competitive. However, she did not seem to have a good relationship with her family. The Dongfang family remained mysterious in City Z. The Dongfang couple were the ones that often appeared in front of the media and they were a loving couple.

The majority of the news about the Dongfang family were rumors because no matter how the media tried to dig up their news, they kept their silence and never stood up to explain or clarify anything.

“I almost forgot that you have the Dongfang family behind you...” Xi Mushan sighed lightly. Just like Xiaye, the weight on his shoulders were heavy.

“If I could choose, I don’t want to either. Well, I’ll leave my resignation letter here. Please approve it. I’ve packed up my things and informed two other teachers about the final exam. They’ll be in charge of my two classes, so you don’t have to worry about the progress of the course and the students’ final exams.”

“I certainly have faith in your working ability. If that’s the case, I won’t say more. Let’s organize a department dinner for all the teachers from the Archaeology Department tonight...”

“It’s okay. My stomach hasn’t been feeling well these days and I don’t have any appetite. The doctor told me not to drink for the time being, so let’s do this another time. Don’t worry. I’ll come back to visit all of you, goodbye!” Dongfang Liuyun said indifferently and turned around. Her thin figure quickly disappeared outside the door.

The sunset had faded and the afterglow was still lingering while the tall trees in front of the campus rustled with the evening breeze.

When Dongfang Liuyun walked out of the campus gate, a black limousine stopped in front of her slowly and precisely. As the window was slowly lowered, she saw the black figure in the driver’s seat.

He had a gorgeous face and deep, dark eyes, and he was wearing a pair of dark trousers with a dark gray shirt. Who else could it be if not Qi Lei, who recently topped the list of the most popular man crush?

Unlike his cynic self in the past, Dongfang Liuyun felt that he had become reserved and matured.

“Get in.” Qi Lei glanced at her and put his sunglasses back on before looking away

Dongfang Liuyun paused and raised her eyebrows but did not refuse. She reached out to open the car door and got into the car.

“How did you know that I’m back?” she asked as she pulled the seat belt and fastened it.

“I have my ways,” Qi Lei glared at her and responded calmly.
