nChapter 59

nQin Feng was surprised at Gu Anhao’s mannerism because Mobai had told him in advance that she was a very funny girl who would always come up with all sorts of antics. However, the young girl in front of him now was actually very honest and well-mannered. Of course, Qin Feng did not say much and he simply smiled at her as he asked and counseled her about her previous years in high school.

nUnder any normal circumstances, with a tutor providing help and assistance, any student would definitely be able to keep up with their current studies. Moreover, Anhao was very intelligent and Qin Feng was certain that she would definitely be able to keep up with his teachings. Ultimately, everything depended on whether Anhao was willing to study seriously or not.

nAfter about two hours of tutoring, Anhao was already able to answer most of the basic questions from the first year of high school. The both of them continued studying until it was already almost eight o’clock at night. However, Anhao was not tired at all and it seemed as though she was very diligent and really wanted to catch up with her studies.

nWhen it was almost nine o’clock at night, Zuo Hancheng finally came home.

nAs soon as he walked into the house, he saw Gu Anhao carrying two glasses of water as she stepped into the study room. She did not even turn around to look at him or greet him at all. After entering the study room, she said in a sweet manner, “Teacher Qin, please have some water.”

nZuo Hancheng frowned as he walked toward the direction of the study room. After that, he looked at the tall and young man who was seated next to Gu Anhao. He was drinking the glass of water that Anhao had just given to him. After that, the both of them continued with their tutoring session.

nIn fact, Zuo Hancheng was surprised because this was the first time that he had ever seen her being so well-behaved and obedient. Moreover, it was really rare that she was focusing on her studies in such an intent manner.

nQin Feng glanced at the time on his watch and he realized that it was already past nine o’clock at night.

nAt this time, Qin Feng remembered that Mobai had instructed him to teach her every day until she did not feel like studying anymore. Of course, as a tutor, he was always happy to meet a student who enjoyed learning and was very motivated to do so. However, he felt as though he could not keep going anymore for the day.

nMoreover, he felt that something was off because he realized that Gu Anhao would occasionally look toward the door as though she was peeking at something.

nQin Feng subconsciously looked toward the door and he saw Zuo Hancheng standing right outside the study room. Qin Feng hurriedly stood up and turned around before nodding politely at him.

n“President Zuo.”

nMobai had already told him that the person who hired him was none other than Zuo Hancheng.

nZuo Hancheng glanced at Qin Feng as he asked, “Are you the tutor that Mobai hired?”

n‘Yes, President Zuo. My name is Qin Feng and I used to be Mobai’s junior in university. I graduated from my postgraduate studies last year and I am currently working as a departmental manager in a multinational company. I take up some tutoring jobs occasionally during my free time. I have been hoping to meet President Zuo from Shengling Group for quite some time already. It is indeed an honor…”

nZuo Hancheng raised his hand to stop Qin Feng from speaking before he could even finish his sentence.

nThis was because he thought that Qin Feng was simply taking advantage of this opportunity to meet him indirectly. That was the reason why he talked about his own education and career as soon as he met him. Zuo Hancheng was certain that this young man was simply looking for an opportunity to join Shengling Group. He would meet these kind of people all the time.

nTherefore, he was not interested in this topic at all. Zuo Hancheng glanced at his watch as he asked in a cold manner, “What time will you be done tutoring her today?”

nQin Feng looked at the time on his watched before he smiled. It was already half past nine. “We are already done for the day. Anhao is really trying very hard to make up for the time that she had lost. This is a rare opportunity for her to catch up with her studies while she is still very motivated to do so. If she is interested to keep up the momentum, I do not mind staying back to continue tutoring her. I am just afraid that it would cause inconvenience to President Zuo.”

n“It’s getting late. You can go back now,” Zuo Hancheng replied in a clear and concise manner. He did not intend to say anything else to Qin Feng.

nSince Qin Feng was hired by Mobai, he was smart enough to know when he should stop speaking. After all, his senior had already told him that President Zuo had a very bad temper.

nTherefore, since President Zuo had clearly instructed him to leave, he did not try to extend his stay. He simply replied in a respectful manner before he turned around and gave Anhao some homework to do before he left in a quick manner.

nAnhao had been eavesdropping on their conversation the entire time even though she did not turn around to look at them. Instead, she sat still at the study table as she pretended to be writing.

nIt was only after Qin Feng had left and it was silent for a long time that she turned around quietly to look toward the door. Gu Anhao was shocked when she saw Zuo Hancheng standing behind her as he looked at her with an indifferent and yet solemn expression on his face. “You can close your book and put down your pen already. Why are you pretending to be so hardworking?”

nAnhao could not stop her mouth from twitching. “It is because you interrupted my tutoring session! I was studying hard earlier on until you came and drove Teacher Qin away. Now, I can’t seem to pay any more attention to the books!”

nZuo Hancheng stared at her coldly as he asked, “Why is your tutor a man?”

n“Huh? What?” Anhao asked with an innocent and puzzled expression on her face.

nZuo Hancheng could tell that Gu Anhao was deliberately provoking him by pretending to be cute and innocent. However, he continued frowning as he raised his brows at her.

n“Why did you find a male tutor for yourself?”

n“How would I know?”

nAs soon as Anhao answered, she lowered her head as she bit into the end of her pen to avoid his gaze. “You were the one who asked Mobai to arrange for a tutor for me. I did not ask for it on my own! If you don’t believe me, you can give Mobai a call and ask him about it! Anyway, he is just a tutor. A tutor is still a tutor no matter whether the tutor is a male or female. What is the difference anyway?”

nZuo Hancheng knew that Anhao was being stubborn and persistent because she knew that he would not bother to call Mobai anyway.

nThe young girl wanted to fight with him but she was still too tender and young.

nZuo Hancheng was not provoked as he simply smiled before he said, “Gu Anhao, do you even use the tiny brain that you have?”

nAt this time, the expression on Gu Anhao’s face remained unchanged but she could feel goosebumps all over her body. It seemed as though the president of Shengling Group was really upset at her this time.

nTherefore, Gu Anhao mustered the courage to turn around and look at him before she replied, “All that I did was simply to accept the arrangements that you made in an obedient manner. I stayed at home for my tutoring session and I did not go anywhere else today. So, why are you still angry?”

n“Do you know what time it is now?”

nAnhao glanced at the time before she curled her lips and replied, “Nine thirty at night.”

n“It’s already half past nine at night and you were alone in the room with a strange man. What is a man and a woman doing alone in a room when your husband is not home?”

n“…”

nWhy did this man’s tone sound like he had just gotten off work and caught his wife cheating with another man in his bedroom?

nAnhao stood up before she glared at him confidently with a determined and arrogant expression on her face. “You were the one who asked Mobai to arrange for a tutor to teach me! You are also the one who is forcing me to improve my grades and pass all of my subjects within a month! If I don’t take advantage of the time that I have to catch up with my studies, then when will I be able to make time to study? I am studying right now and I have a tutor with me even though it is late at night because I am trying to fulfil the promise that I made to you. So, why are you still unhappy? Zuo Hancheng, you are being too much!”
