"Did something happen?" As soon as they stepped through the door, Old Master Wan, who had been waiting anxiously at home, came up with a worried expression.

Usually, when the mother and daughter went out for a stroll, it would be at most half an hour. But today, it had been nearly an hour. If the weather was warm, it wouldn’t be an issue, but in this cold weather, Zhao Yulan couldn’t bear letting her daughter stay outside for so long. From this, Old Master Wan concluded that they must have encountered something.

"We got stopped by the nephew of my mother-in-law’s rival..." Chuxia briefly recapped what had happened, and before the old master could say anything, she quickly reflected on herself, "It was my fault, I wasn’t vigilant enough. I’ll call Zhou Mikang right now."

Seeing Chuxia’s guilty look, Old Master Wan chuckled and shook his head, "Go ahead..." Then he turned to Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe, "Don’t worry, even if Baohe doesn’t go out, there won’t be any trouble."

Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe assumed the old master was just comforting them, nodded with a smile, but inside, they still felt a bit uneasy.

As the saying goes, you can’t guard against everything. Even if they informed Zhou Mikang, they couldn’t have someone follow their daughter around the school all the time. Their daughter probably wouldn’t agree to such arrangements either.

After returning to her room, Chuxia calmed herself down and first dialed Zhou Mikang’s office. After three rings, just as she was about to hang up, someone picked up.

"Hello." The voice that answered was female.

Chuxia was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I’m looking for Zhou Mikang."

"He’s not here. May I know who you are?"

Chuxia frowned, "I’m his wife."

"Oh, oh, it’s sister-in-law..." The female voice noticeably became more enthusiastic, "Division Commander Zhou went to the restroom. I’ll let him know and have him call you back right away when he returns."

"Okay." Chuxia replied briskly and hung up the phone.

Five minutes later, the phone in her room rang, "Chuxia, what happened?" Zhou Mikang’s slightly anxious voice came through as soon as she picked up the phone.

"Qin Xiangyi’s nephew also got into Medical University..." Chuxia detailed the evening’s encounter, and after she finished speaking, there was silence on the other end for a moment, followed by a sigh, "Are you upset?"

"No." Chuxia stubbornly denied it.

"Really not?"

Having almost calmed herself down, Chuxia suddenly flared up, "Zhou Mikang, aren’t you being too much? It’s late at night, I tell you something happened, and you don’t even say a word of comfort, just ask pointless questions? Is that fun for you?"

Even over the phone, she could sense the man on the other end was smiling, as his voice became noticeably lighter, "Alright, I was wrong, I know about what you said."

"Huh?" Chuxia was momentarily stunned, could it be Qin Haotian confessed voluntarily?

"Did you really think I’d just leave you there without any precautions?" Zhou Mikang chuckled, "Even if our father didn’t go over, you and our mother wouldn’t be in trouble."

Chuxia came to understand, although Ma Chao and Jiang Qi had been withdrawn, Zhou Mikang had assigned other people to take over their duties. While she was a bit irked at Zhou Mikang for keeping it from her, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

She really valued her life and hoped nothing would happen to the baby in her belly. Although it might be inconvenient, it was far better than regretting it after something had happened, "Then I’m fine, you should rest early."

"Wait..." How could Zhou Mikang allow her to hang up so quickly? He hurriedly called out, "Zhou Hanliang’s qualifications are somewhat lacking, so they sent a deputy instructor to assist me and Zhou Hanliang. We just had a meeting."

"Oh." Chuxia responded lightly, without expressing any opinion.

"Don’t overthink it."

"Oh."

Zhou Mikang found himself at a loss, as it was clear she was unhappy, brushing him off word by word, and chuckled softly, "You should trust me, right?"

"Mm."

Still just a single word, though it was pronounced differently.

"You are pregnant now, don’t keep things bottled up inside..." Zhou Mikang softened his voice, "Shout at me a bit, let it out, okay?"

"I’m hanging up." Too lazy to argue further, Chuxia directly hung up the phone.

Yes, she was indeed angry. She certainly trusted Zhou Mikang’s character. However, she also understood that woman had some designs on Zhou Mikang. Otherwise, why would the answer have been like that? What does it mean that he went to the restroom and will be back shortly? With something so confidential, can a female colleague casually say such things to the man’s wife?

Holding the phone, Zhou Mikang froze for a moment, then shook his head amusedly. This little thing, she was really ruffled.
