"Of course! From now on, my dad will be your dad. He can take care of you and your mom. Who told us we are such good, good friends!"
As they say, children speak their minds. Hearing Tong Tong ask this, Ke Ke immediately replied happily.
Her words made Wu Ziqiong's face flush with embarrassment. She shot Tong Tong a glare.
"Tong Tong, dance obediently and don't whisper!"
That's what she said, but her heart was already racing.
While children speak their minds, how much can they truly understand?
Therefore, such words couldn't possibly have come from Ke Ke.
So who would have taught her this?
*Swish!*
The more she thought about it, the redder Wu Ziqiong's face became.
They were all just little children, and naturally, they all started to get curious.
Hearing Ke Ke say that, they all became excited.
"Wow! Ke Ke, so that's your dad? He's so handsome! And he matches our Teacher Wu so well, who is so beautiful. They really are a perfect match!"
"Ke Ke, does that mean you'll have two moms from now on? I'm so, so envious!"
"Tong Tong, I saw that uncle carrying a lot of snacks just now. Can you share some with me during the break?"
Wu Ziqiong really wanted to scold these children.
But what did children understand?
Besides, if she said anything, who knew how these children would relay it back home, and how would she save face then?
"Look, Teacher Wu's face is red!" a child whispered at this moment.
The childish voices spread, but because they were so soft, the parents watching the dance below couldn't hear them. Yet, Wu Ziqiong heard every word.
Instantly, her face turned even redder, and her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.
She quickly glanced at the parents' section, her gaze primarily landing on Ye Yun.
She wanted to confirm if Ye Yun had heard.
It was clearly an attempt to cover up.
However, Ye Yun was no longer in his seat. He was at the doorway making a phone call, seemingly about some work matter.
Whether it was luck or misfortune, Wu Ziqiong quickly shifted her mood. She forced herself to calm down and said.
"Alright, stay quiet. We'll start practicing the dance steps now!"
With that, Wu Ziqiong turned on the music, the volume slightly louder than usual. Perhaps it was to mask her shyness, or to drown out the children's chatter.
Ye Yun, who was on the phone with Zhang Han arranging work, also subconsciously turned his head at the sound of the music.
Perhaps it was the intensity of his gaze, but Wu Ziqiong felt it immediately.
Yet, she didn't let it disrupt her rhythm. Instead, her dance became even more graceful and beautiful.
With her exceptional looks, proud figure, and calves encased in dancing socks, she looked like a masterpiece from God, without an ounce of excess flesh.
She danced to the music, like a fairy under the moonlight, an unparalleled beauty.
In his previous life, countless women had crossed Ye Yun's path.
But watching someone dance live was truly a first.
Even with his experience, he had to admit that Wu Ziqiong danced beautifully.
This single mother truly didn't look like she had ever given birth.
However, one should not look with improper intent.
Wu Ziqiong was Ke Ke's dance teacher, after all. Ye Yun merely let his gaze linger for a moment before quickly averting it.
Having lived decades longer than others, Ye Yun's self-control was beyond question.
Catching a glimpse out of the corner of her eye that Ye Yun had only glanced at her before quickly looking away, Wu Ziqiong couldn't hide a hint of disappointment.
She was quite confident in her appearance and figure.
Wherever she went, she was always the center of attention.
And in front of Ye Yun, she had tried her best to impress him.
Yet, Ye Yun seemed as uninterested as ever.
A great love expert once said.
Who is the most charming person?
It's the person who isn't interested in you, but you are interested in them.
At this moment, Wu Ziqiong felt deeply attracted to Ye Yun.
Throughout the morning, Ye Yun seemed busy with work, rarely having time to sit and watch the dance quietly.
This made Wu Ziqiong even more infatuated.
When it was over, Ye Yun went down again and brought up a lot of drinks.
There were milk teas and milk.
A group of children stared longingly at Ye Yun, their mouths watering.
How could Ye Yun not know what the children were thinking?
He immediately smiled and said, "Stop looking. Teacher Wu asked me to prepare these for you. Drink up."
"Wow! Thank you, Teacher Wu!"
"Teacher Wu is so nice." A group of children giggled and ran to Ye Yun, reaching out to grab the drinks.
"Delicious!"
"So good!"
With effusive praise, the children laughed merrily. Ye Yun was like a children's leader, holding Ke Ke in his left arm and Tong Tong in his right.
Tong Tong even gave Ye Yun a big kiss while drinking.
She was so happy today.
Uncle Ye is so nice. If only Uncle Ye could come and accompany her every day!
Fortunately, the awkward situation didn't last long.
It was ten o'clock now, and the parents either had to take their children home for lunch or rush to their next training session.
In short, they were all leaving.
As the children said goodbye to Teacher Wu, they all friendly added.
"Tong Tong and Ke Ke, your dad is so nice!"
"Can you bring him here again next time?"
"Yes, yes!" Tong Tong and Ke Ke, the two little girls, clapped their hands and agreed with carefree joy.
Wu Ziqiong, however, blushed to her ears upon hearing the children say that.
The parents, on the other hand, looked a bit confused, not understanding why their children were saying that.
But seeing all the food and drinks, and how close Tong Tong, who was clearly Wu Ziqiong's daughter, was to Ye Yun,
they seemed to understand something.
Although Wu Ziqiong had never talked about her family situation, being a woman who always had her child with her, she had never seen any other man visit.
They weren't stupid, and could naturally guess that Wu Ziqiong was either divorced or widowed.
Even if neither was true, there must have been problems in her relationship.
Otherwise, why would a child as young as Tong Tong usually be so quiet and reserved?
Seeing her seemingly ambiguous relationship with a student's parent, they were not surprised.
Ninety-nine percent of the people who brought their children to dance here were men.
The reason they chose Wu Ziqiong's place was partly because of the affordable price.
On the other hand, most of them had some ulterior motives, consciously or unconsciously.
Therefore, in their eyes, Ye Yun was just a lucky boy to be envied.
What's done is done.
After all the children and parents had left, Wu Ziqiong, with a crimson face, looked at Ye Yun and said.
"Those children are young and speak carelessly. Dad Ke Ke, please don't mind."
"It's fine. Children don't understand these things, it's normal," Ye Yun replied with a smile, not taking it to heart.
At this moment, Tong Tong blinked her big eyes and said, "Uncle Ye, I want to eat your sweet and sour pork ribs. Can you make it for me today?"
"Tong Tong, Uncle Ye has something to do at noon. Don't bother Uncle Ye!" Wu Ziqiong quickly reprimanded her.
Tong Tong lowered her head, her expression a little dejected.
Her mother's words made her feel wronged.
Uncle Ye had finally come over, and she couldn't get to eat his cooking. What a shame!
