Xiao Li lay on the sofa, watching Qin Xiao work seriously, and found him truly captivating. Qin Xiao, going through the files, stood up with a slight frown, maybe finding some data incorrect? "Nini, I’m going to the lab. You can rest here for a bit or see if there’s something you’d like to eat?" Xiao Li nodded, "Okay, you go ahead with your work! Don’t worry about me." Qin Xiao left, and Xiao Li, feeling bored, took out her phone and opened the food delivery app to look for something delicious! As she browsed, she realized she didn’t quite know what she wanted to eat; nothing seemed to stand out. Just as she was looking at her phone, someone knocked on the office door. Xiao Li sat up and responded, "Come in." Fang Heng stood outside the office, noticing something was off when he heard the voice. However, he didn’t think much of it and opened the door, only to find a woman in the teacher’s office instead of the teacher. Xiao Li saw someone come in, wearing a white coat, and guessed he was from the lab. She asked, "Are you looking for Qin Xiao? He went to the lab." Fang Heng was shocked, his eyes wide open. This woman dared to call the teacher by name, so bold! After the initial shock, Fang Heng said, "Thank you, I’ll go next door to find the teacher." Saying this, Fang Heng quickly left. Hearing how he addressed Qin Xiao, Xiao Li raised an eyebrow slightly. Is this that uncle’s student? Fang Heng hurried to the laboratory, handed his form to Qin Xiao, and then whispered to his classmate Fang Zhipeng, "Brother, do you know who the woman in the teacher’s office is?" Fang Heng and Fang Zhipeng were cousins and both started their graduate studies this time. Fang Zhipeng, puzzled, asked, "What woman?" Fang Heng whispered, "I just collected some forms, and not knowing if the teacher had come to this side, I delivered them to the office. Then I saw a woman sitting on the sofa in the teacher’s office, with a blanket over her legs!" Upon hearing this, Fang Zhipeng’s ears perked up. Sitting with a blanket, that’s significant! While Fang Zhipeng and Fang Heng were chatting, Zhang Yang, who was standing behind them, overheard their conversation. After thinking for a moment, he figured someone who could sit comfortably on the sofa in the senior’s office probably must be the sister-in-law. Zhang Yang thought to himself and decided that as Qin Xiao returned to the office, he’d ask, "Senior, is your wife here?" Qin Xiao nodded, "Yes." Hearing that it was indeed Xiao Li, Zhang Yang thought of going to the office to greet her. Inside the office, Xiao Li hadn’t reclined since she sat up, considering it inappropriate to lie down in an office where people might drop by occasionally. Qin Xiao opened the door and entered, followed by Zhang Yang, "Sister-in-law." Hearing the voice, Xiao Li looked up with a smile, "Zhang Yang, you’re here. Perfect, I have something to ask you." Zhang Yang chuckled, "Sister-in-law, you want to know about senior’s lab work, don’t you? Ask away! I promise to be open!" Qin Xiao shot him a calm glance. Xiao Li smiled, "No need, he tells me about lab work when he gets home. That sort of thing you don’t need to mention! I want to ask how many people are in the lab today. I plan to order food for everyone’s lunch." Zhang Yang laughed at her words, "Sister-in-law is treating! Lucky us, if you exclude my senior and me, there are ten people." Hearing this, Xiao Li nodded and placed the order on her phone. Zhang Yang chatted for a little longer before leaving, as his senior’s look almost outrightly branded him a third wheel. After Zhang Yang left, Qin Xiao locked the office door and sat down next to Xiao Li, "Lie down, I’ll be your pillow!" Hearing this, Xiao Li lay down with a smile, resting her head on Qin Xiao’s lap. Qin Xiao gently massaged her stomach with his hand. Xiao Li relished his care, feeling incredibly comfortable! "Uncle, just now someone came looking for you and called you teacher. Was he your student?" Qin Xiao nodded, "Yes, one of this year’s students." Xiao Li remarked, "They’ve already come over to the lab." Qin Xiao calmly replied, "Theoretical classes usually come first. On weekends or when there’s no class, they come to the lab." Xiao Li nodded, "Compared to your students, I seem to lack diligence." Truthfully, it wasn’t that Xiao Li wasn’t diligent. The main reason was that their mentor, Professor Chen, happened to be on a business trip these days. Before leaving, he didn’t give Xiao Li and the others any tasks, so they had no idea what they were supposed to do. Every day, they attended classes if there were any, and if not, they went home to continue reading. After chatting for a while, the food delivery arrived. They kept the meal for Qin Xiao and Xiao Li, and the rest was taken to others. Upon seeing the meal Xiao Li had ordered, everyone knew Xiao Li had arrived. Even Fang Heng realized that the person he had seen earlier was indeed the senior-in-law! Inside the office, Xiao Li and Qin Xiao quietly ate. After the meal, Xiao Li continued to relax in the office until it was time for her afternoon class. That’s when she left the lab to attend her class. Upon entering the classroom, Xiao Li received a lot of attention. She was a bit late, and many students were already present. From morning till now, news that Xiao Li was Qin Xiao’s wife had spread throughout the school. The students couldn’t help but gaze at her! Even without the lunchtime talk, with today’s ease of online communication, news had already spread in the morning. Xiao Li found a seat and sat down. Shortly after, Shao Yu entered, also receiving a wave of glances, but with a hint of mockery. Shao Yu noticed Xiao Li right away but didn’t approach her this time. Instead, she opted to sit near the classroom door. A little while later, Chen Wei arrived. He approached Xiao Li directly, "Student Xiao, I apologize for what happened this morning. It’s my fault for dragging you into this!" Xiao Li smiled faintly, "It’s alright!" Xiao Li didn’t want to comment further. Such unexpected troubles were tiring and something she disliked! Yet, since they were classmates, she couldn’t act too unfriendly! After apologizing, Chen Wei found a seat and sat down. Seated nearby, Shao Yu saw Chen Wei apologize to Xiao Li and hesitated before standing up to approach, "Student Xiao, I apologize for the morning incident, I’m sorry!" Xiao Li’s tone was even calmer, "Oh, the teacher is coming!" Compared to Chen Wei, she had even less interest in dealing with the lovesick Shao Yu, mentioning the teacher’s arrival and then falling silent. The most update n0vels are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 Given all the other students around, Shao Yu felt embarrassed and quickly returned to her seat. After all, she had apologized and shown her stance. Whether or not Xiao Li forgave her was not within her control. Shao Yu had barely been back in her seat when the teacher arrived. Upon entering, the teacher discreetly glanced at Xiao Li. It seemed the teacher was also now aware of who Xiao Li was!
