She had been green with envy when a senior student in the group next door got singled out and caught everyone’s attention. She hadn’t expected she would also get a chance to shine.
A faint blush rose to her cheeks while her palms perspired. Her gaze drifted towards the domineering and charming President Jun among the leaders. Her heart thumped wildly. If such an outstanding man could notice her...
Ye Lu, however, felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her on a clear sky. She wished she could curse her professor till his death.
Teacher Zhao, you hardly pay any mind on regular days. Why do you suddenly rember now? Can’t you continue to ignore and treat as if I was invisible?
The indignity of it all!
The Third Young Master Jun, who was bored listening to a group of professionals arguing in front of him, paused when he heard the na Ye Lu. Like an X-ray, his penetrating gaze was instantly focused on the crowd of students.
Then, he quickly discerned a petite figure shuddering at the back of the crowd.
"Huh...." His interest was piqued. The na Ye Lu was uncommon, let alone seeing her frightened like this. It was truly worth coming here today.
He raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to make a move.
"Ye Lu, aren’t you going to co forward?" Zhao Ziru was getting impatient. What was she dillydallying for? President Jun and even the principal was waiting for her!
Left with no choice, Ye Lu kept her head low, followed Yang Yang and walked out. She didn’t dare to look at Third Young Master Jun’s expression, let alone harbor unrealistic hopes that Third Young Master might forget about her.
Unfortunately, nightmares always strike relentlessly.
"Principal Lin, I am quite interested in this biotechnology. I would like this female student to assist in touring the laboratory. You wouldn’t mind, would you?"
The principal was caught off guard; it should be the leaders and professors who personally accompanied him on the tour.
However, since the request was made, they had to comply.
"Of course, no problem." He replied with an obligatory chuckle. Then he turned to Ye Lu and emphasized, "Miss Ye Lu, please show President Jun around. You should perform well, don’t disappoint President Jun, and more importantly, don’t disappoint us."
He then gave her a aningful look: depending on your performance, the amount of donation our school receives this year. If you screw up, you’re dood!
On hearing this, Ye Lu wanted to cry.
Principal, you’re sending into the wolf’s den. How am I supposed to perform well? By serving this wolf to his liking?
However, she dared not defy the principal’s command. She was here to graduate. If she didn’t perform well, losing the scholarship would be minor compared to not being able to graduate.
"Yes, Principal." Ye Lu stepped forward, gritting her teeth. Facing Third Young Master Jun’s faintly amused gaze, her heart trembled incessantly.
Ye Lu planned to assure herself that she was safe at school. He wouldn’t dare do anything to her with so many high-ranking system officials from Jun Group present!
But to her surprise, he ordered his subordinates not to follow them.
She was left alone with him, leading him into the laboratory.
Ye Lu couldn’t help but feel nervous again, and hurriedly stepped up to lead the way.
"Why are you hurrying? Is a hungry wolf chasing after you, or are you afraid that I’ll eat you?" The teasing voice of Third Young Master Jun leisurely emanated from behind her.
Ye Lu’s body stiffened. ’You are more terrifying than a hungry wolf,’ she thought.
"President Jun is joking. I am only trying not to waste your valuable ti." She dared not offend him, fearing that it would backfire and provoke him. If she made a misstep, the principal would hold her accountable.
"Your attitude is surprisingly good, quite rare. However, I prefer you when you’re defiant, looks especially... enticing." The Third Young Master raised his eyebrows and looked at her submissive deanor, "I didn’t expect, you’re still a student, a single mother, a graduate student in prestigious school, quite an interesting identity."
Ye Lu remained silent, convinced that this devilishly handso man, was only intending to toy with her.
The more she resisted, the more interested he beca.
"President Jun, this is the cultivation room."
Third Young Master Jun glanced at the pitch-black, sealed laboratory and curled up his lips.
"Let’s go in and take a look."
