Chapter 426: Who Could Understand The Pain In His Heart?   He only paused for a second before shifting his gaze away.

Fang Xinxin truly could not tell who this bouquet of roses came from.

Throughout the period, she listened seriously to Ya Lun’s class.

She had to admit that his teaching was of a certain standard.

Indeed, considering Jing Hua University’s status, how could they possibly let just anyone come in to be a lecturer? Naturally, the candidate would have to fulfil their requirements.

It seemed like the Hei Xiao organisation did not only consist of shady outcasts. There were also talented individuals mixed in.

Of course, considering that Heixiao was a top-notch, international underground organisation, it made sense that their people were skilled in every way.

Every so often, Jiang Xingnan would peek at Fang Xinxin. When she focused on the lesson, she appeared both quiet and serious. Her posture was upright and her aura was akin to that of an especially graceful and refined lady.

As a result, he could not help but think that her background had to be really special.

Indeed, she wasn’t born of a lowly status. She grew up in a family that managed a middle-sized enterprise.

The more he watched her, the more he felt attracted to her.

Although he could not see beneath the paste that she had applied on her skin, her sparkling eyes drew him in. Her black pupils were clearly defined. They appeared like black pearls submerged in a sea of wisdom.

He could not help but be distracted due to her appearance. He was deeply charmed by her.

Fang Xinxin noticed Jiang Xingnan’s secret glances. She turned to him and lowered her voice to ask him suspiciously. “What are you looking at?”

He immediately looked guilty as though he was caught in the act. He shifted his eyes away instantly. “Who is looking at you?”

She smiled mockingly. “I didn’t say you were looking at me? You really dug your own grave.”

“I...” Jiang Xingnan was speechless.

Throughout this period, his eyes always followed her.

In fact, he wasn’t sure when this began, but he somehow started feeling that she wasn’t the slightest bit ugly. He even felt that her old, overweight self was charming in a quirky way.

Unfortunately, he also learned something especially depressing. It was that... she has never once taken a proper look at him!

Furthermore, she had such an outstanding fiancé...

The reason he constantly provoked her and called her ‘ugly’ was likely because this was also a method to draw her attention.

After all, he could also earn a place in her heart by drawing her hatred, couldn’t he? Thus, whenever he met her, he would go against his feelings to insult her.

Who could possibly understand the pain in his heart?

After the bell rang, Teacher Ya Lun took the initiative to approach Fang Xinxin’s desk. He stood by her side to smile dazzlingly at her. “Hi, Xinxin. Do you have any questions about the class? You can always ask me for help.”

“No.” Her response was direct and blunt.

Ya Lun’s gemlike eyes shifted onto the enormous bouquet on her desk. “Do you like these flowers?”

Fang Xinxin wanted to ask if the flowers came from him.

However, if he said yes, news of a teacher gifting flowers to a student would spread throughout the entire Jing Hua University.

Thus, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

Fang Manxue approached the desk as well. Her expression was slightly poor.

Yesterday, Teacher Ya Lun had praised her beauty. Yet, from his words, it seemed like he had bought this bouquet for Fang Xinxin.

To think he was this generous!

Fang Manxue insisted on asking the question that Fang Xinxin had avoided asking. “Teacher Ya Lun, you bought such a large bouquet for my third sister?”

Wu Jiatong was already upset that Fang Xinxin was deskmates with Jiang Xingnan. She immediately mocked her. “Fang Xinxin, you sure are capable. You even seduced a teacher?”

Fang Xinxin frowned and was about to lose her temper.

But Ya Lun rushed to wave his hands. “Oh, no, no, no! Xinxin is a good student. You guys cannot misunderstand her. I didn’t buy these flowers for her.”
