Chapter 393 — Let Him Come Along
Years of Heartflutter · Page 1 of 2
During the break, Professor Wang glanced at his phone and saw a missed call from while he had been teaching. He had set it to vibrate, so he had not heard it.
Checking it, he found it was from his grandson, Wang Xigang.
Professor Wang hurriedly called back. He doted on this grandson beyond all measure, for the boy was the sole heir of the Wang family.
"Ganggang, what did you want to talk to Grandfather about?" Professor Wang asked.
"Grandfather, how did that thing I mentioned to you turn out? Have you talked to Chen Shutang yet? Did she agree?" Ever since Wang Xigang had sat in on one of his grandfather's classes, he had been unable to get Chen Shutang out of his mind.
So he had asked his grandfather to play matchmaker! At that diploma-mill college he attended, where money did the talking, what decent girls were there to be found? They were either the loose sort idling their days away or else downright hideous. The moment Wang Xigang laid eyes on Chen Shutang, he was struck as though by a goddess descended from heaven.
"I'm working on it, don't rush, Ganggang. Rest assured, Grandfather will definitely find you a wife!" Professor Wang did not want to disappoint his grandson, so he had not told him that Chen Shutang had already refused.
"Oh, all right, then hurry it up, I'm dying of impatience," Wang Xigang urged, somewhat anxiously.
"How about this: I'll invite her to lunch at noon and have a careful talk with her." Professor Wang had originally decided to give Chen Shutang a few more days of grief, to make her unable to stand it and come begging him for mercy. But since his grandson had pressed him, there was no time to wait. He would invite her out for a bite this very noon, and then lay out the pros and cons for her in detail!
"All right, Grandfather, I'll wait for your good news!" Wang Xigang was overjoyed at this and said hastily.
After hanging up on his grandson, Professor Wang thought for a moment, then called out to Chen Shutang in her seat: "Chen Shutang, come here a moment!"
"Oh? All right..." It was the break between classes now, and Chen Shutang had no idea what Professor Wang wanted with her, though she felt certain it was nothing good.
"Professor Wang, is something the matter?" Chen Shutang walked up to him and asked.
"Chen Shutang, don't leave right after class. Wait for me a moment. I'll treat you to a bite—there's something I need to discuss with you!" Afraid that Chen Shutang would refuse, Professor Wang adopted a tone of unquestionable command, intending to leave her no choice but to accept.
"Ah? Professor Wang... at noon I..." Chen Shutang had already arranged to have lunch with Yan, so of course she could not go eat with Professor Wang... And whatever it was that Professor Wang wanted to discuss with her, it was surely nothing good—most likely still that business with his grandson...
But Professor Wang did not wait for Chen Shutang to finish. He waved his hand: "All right, go back for now. Class is starting."
With that, without waiting for any further reply from Chen Shutang, he stepped up onto the lectern and said to the students below: "Let us continue the lesson!"
Chen Shutang was somewhat at a loss. She shook her head and could only return to her seat first. But once back, she sent Yang Ce a text message.
"Yang Ce, our Professor Wang wants to treat me to lunch at noon. What should I do?"
Yang Ce had gotten his car and was driving toward Songjiang Engineering University when his phone buzzed with a text. He pulled it out and could not help but be struck dumb. Chen Shutang's professor wanted to treat her to lunch? No way—this wasn't some lecherous professor coveting a female student, was it?
Yang Ce immediately texted back: "What does he want to have lunch with you for? Why is he asking you?"
