The Beloved and Pampered Girl

But even without a mirror, Jian Dan knew that her smile must have been extremely unnatural.

“It’s not just Teacher Zhu, huh? Even Zhang Yang is acting weird around you!” “Xiaoting, what are you talking about? Don’t talk nonsense, that’s our homeroom teacher,” Jian Dan retorted firmly.

When Xiaoting saw Jian Dan’s reaction, she frowned deeply.

Was that response just now even consistent?

Even if she was a bit slow, she could tell that Jian’s feelings for Teacher Zhu were a bit different.

Although neither man was Jian Dan’s best choice, if Xiaoting had to choose between them, she would definitely cast her vote for Zhang Yang.

After all, Zhang Yang was younger, and most importantly, he wasn’t married yet.

But Teacher Zhu was different, as he stated that he was married when introducing himself.

If Jian Dan had anything to do with him, she would become the mistress breaking up someone’s family.

“Jian, you absolutely cannot fall for Teacher Zhu!”

Though Teacher Zhu had a face so captivating, no matter how handsome it was, could it be eaten as food, drunk as water, or served as an excuse for infidelity and be forgiven?

Xiaoting absolutely despised mistresses since her own family fell apart because of one. If it weren’t for her brother taking care of her, who knows where she would be now?

Jian Dan was the most important friend in her heart, second only to her brother. Xiaoting would never allow Jian Dan to head down that path.

“Why can’t I?” Jian Dan blurted out before she could think it through.

After the words came out, she realized how inappropriate they were.

She quickly explained, “That’s not what I mean; I just think that Teacher Zhu is a pretty nice person!”

“So what if he’s nice? He’s not yours, he never was, he isn’t now, and he’ll be even less likely to be in the future!”

After hearing Xiaoting’s words, Jian Dan almost blurted out an answer but managed to choke it back just in time…

If she had said those words, her relationship with Uncle would definitely not remain a secret.

Seeing Jian Dan hesitate to speak, Xiaoting assumed she disagreed, “Jian, snap out of it. You mustn’t let yourself fall for it. Pull yourself out while you’re not too deeply involved.”

“Xiaoting, why are you making such a fuss?”

Jian Dan also noticed something was off with Xiaoting.

“Jian, clear your mind and don’t be charmed by that face.”

“Xiaoting, could it be that you’re…” Jian Dan couldn’t help but suspect whether Xiaoting had developed inappropriate feelings for Uncle.

“You’re overthinking!” Xiaoting rolled her eyes at Jian Dan.

“Then what is this about…”

“Jian, why don’t you understand?”

“Understand what?” Jian Dan was clearly confused by Xiaoting.

“Because he’s married!

I can tell you have feelings for him, but he’s married, so you absolutely can’t consider him an option anymore, even Zhang Yang would be more suitable than him!” After all, Zhang Yang was single.

Though teacher-student romance isn’t really a good thing, they were about to graduate, so it shouldn’t matter.

Jian Dan finally understood what Xiaoting meant.

In fact, Jian Dan had thought of this before, but because she was already Uncle’s wife, she had preconceived notions, which is why she didn’t catch on to Xiaoting’s point.

“Xiaoting, you can rest assured on that point. I definitely won’t be a mistress!” “Really?” Xiaoting remained skeptical.

“More real than real gold!

Also, don’t go matchmaking for no reason. Me and Zhang Yang? Please stop joking, okay?

The only relationship between us can only be a pure teacher-student relationship!” Jian Dan stated her position very clearly.

“Then I can rest assured. As long as there’s nothing between you and Teacher

Zhu, I don’t mind whoever you choose as your boyfriend!”

Only then did Xiaoting let out a sigh of relief..
