Yu Yan was suspended for two weeks just under Jun Zixuan's cold gaze, without him lifting a finger.

It could be said that she deserved it considering how she started everything and ended up accusing her.

In fact, she would have been a bit more gentle with that girl if she did not provoke her time and time again. That day, she was already pissed because of Zhu Boqin and then the Yu Siblings came over to mess with her. It was not her intention to hurt Yu Yan but she wanted to make sure that the girl would see her as a monster the next time and think twice before approaching her.

She thought she will be teaching the Yu siblings a lesson today but Jun Zixuan dealt with them on her behalf and she did not have to do anything.

Everything was simplified because of his presence and now here they were walking in the corridor, hand in hand with their fingers intertwined.

"I didn't expect you to be here," She said, glancing at his side-profile.

The man pursed his lips, refusing to say anything.

"Are you angry?" He was fine inside but why is he ignoring her now? Is it his mood swings again?

The man simply avoided looking at her.

As they walked through the corridors, the students 'stopped and stared' at the beautiful couple.

Yu Mei was already their goddess, thus being famous in the university but now with Jun Zixuan's 'rich and godly' existence, both of them were seen as a power couple.

As much as they were crazy over Yu Mei, one look at Jun Zixuan was enough to discourage all the hunks in the university. He was wealthy, handsome, had a hot body, and the last yet most important, Yu Mei was different around him. To others, she was still that aloof, cool yet kind goddess. But around her boyfriend, she would laugh childishly, be petty, fight with him, and show all her sides that nobody of them has ever seen.

"Hey, Zixuan, are you ignoring me?" She poked his cheeks but the man just won't look at her.

Utterly confused and disappointed, she loosened her grip on his hand but the man intertwined their fingers, tightening his hold on her hand.

Her lips twitched into a soft smile that vanished as soon as it came. "Moody and grumpy old man..." she mumbled under her breath.

"I'm 23," The man coldly said.

She pinched his shoulder hard but he didn't even wince, "I thought you were 3. Humph!"

While they walked out of the corridor, Li Shuang stood at a distance looking at their retreating backs until they were out of her sight. 'Was he the guardian they all were talking about?' A hint of confusion appeared on her cold face.

After standing there for a few seconds, she turned around and walked towards the Dean's office. She paused right in front of the door and looked around. After making sure there were no students, she pushed open the door and walked inside without bothering to knock.

The Dean tilted his head upwards at the sound wondering who was it this time. When his gaze landed on the girl standing in front of him, he stood up and bowed slightly.

Li Shuang nodded.

The middle-aged man stood straight. Hesitating a bit, he opened his mouth to speak, "She...."

"I know," Li Shuang interrupted, "Don't report to him about it."

"But..."

"Don't mention her to him. Not for now," She coldly said and left the office room, without looking back at the middle-aged man who was left standing there helplessly.

...

In the Ren Mansion.

"That's it for today," Jun Zixuan closed the book before keeping it aside, "Try the questions from the sample paper later. Steward Gu will drop you back at the dormitory."

Jun Zixuan stood up from the couch as soon as he finished speaking. Just as he turned around to leave the room, he felt a tug on the corner of his shirt.

He paused.

"Will you stop ignoring me like this? I thought we already made up but here you go again," Yu Mei glared at his back begrudgingly, "You're so petty."

He turned around to glance at the woman, who had his shirt fisted in her hand as she stood in front of him.

Her grip on his shirt loosened when he moved. As he stepped closer to her, she stepped back. He continued walking towards her while she kept retreating under his cold gaze.

There was something different in his eyes. It reminded her of the day when he had barged inside the dormitory and had kissed her.

He was dangerously closer to her at the moment causing her to take another step back but she felt an obstruction behind as her back collided against the wall. A soft gasp escaped her lips.

She tried to walk to the side but he pressed his hand next to her face. When she turned to the other side, she noticed that there was no way out with the couch to her right and his hand on the left.

Left with no choice, she glanced at his face but immediately regretted her action the moment she felt his daunting gaze on her.

There was a strange predatory flicker in his chestnut brown eyes as the gold flecks in them seemed to be shining under the dim lightings inside the room.

"You call this being petty?" He asked, there was a dangerous edge to his tone.

"Yes," She did call him petty because he is. Did he think he can intimidate her with his daunting gaze?

He chuckled. As charming as ever was that smile as the man removed one of his hands from the wall and cupped her face. His thumb rested below her chin while his other fingers weaved inside her dark hair, resting right behind her ear, "I've long wanted to trap you in the mansion, lock you in the bedroom, tie you to the bed but did I do that, hmm?" His thumb stroked her chin gently as he leaned closer, "Yet, you had the nerve to call me petty."

Her eyes widened at his words.
