Su Xiaoyue, a humble kindergarten teacher, had the fervent wish that she would one day become a famous educator, with students all over the world. However, her peaceful life underwent a drastic change after she became Fan Mingyu's homeroom teacher, leading to countless interactions with Fan Mingyu’s adoptive father, the CEO of Sanyang Group. On matters of the child’s education, the two of them locked horns, continuously embroiled in conflict.
……
In the spacious and bright CEO's office, Fan Shaoming sat in a black swivel chair, spinning back and forth, idly fiddling with a red brocade box in his hands, while casting glances at the woman sitting across from him, patiently lecturing him.
Su Xiaoyue swallowed hard, words had made her thirsty, and she wanted a drink of water but was reluctant to ask this man for it. With a strained patience, she said, “Mr. Fan, Mingyu is a very smart child, but if you don’t educate him properly, you, as his father, will ruin him. You’re not loving him, you’re harming him. Your indulgence is spoiling him, letting him fail to recognize his own mistakes, leading him further down the wrong path.”
“Are you done?”
Fan Shaoming stopped spinning in his chair, stood up and walked around the desk, pulled up Su Xiaoyue, then opened up the red brocade box, took out an expensive diamond ring, and slid it onto Su Xiaoyue’s finger, saying in a deep voice, “Mingyu and I have discussed it, and we think you’re an excellent teacher and will surely make a very good mother. I don’t understand romance, so I’ll be direct, take a half-day off tomorrow morning, bring your household registration book, and wait for me at the civil affairs office.”
Su Xiaoyue’s face turned green, she was lecturing him, and he was proposing to her!

"Thank you, Mom." Su Xiaoyue was genuinely grateful to Fan Li. She then pleaded, "Mom, after this matter is settled, please don't let Xia Ying know that it was my request to you. If Auntie agrees, I'll arrange for her to meet Xia Ying first, and then have Auntie propose the idea of acknowledging her as a goddaughter." She didn't want Xia Ying to know she was doing this, and she was aware that neither Jiang Yi nor Xia Ying would care much for these formalities. But she didn't want to humble Xia Ying—she wished for Xia Ying to have a glorious wedding and to have a powerful maternal family to back her, whether in high society or when traversing the realms of both the legal and underworld. Although the Five Emperors Hall was very powerful, after all, it was not publicly acknowledged; only those in the underworld knew of the organization. In high society, mentioning this organization would have others treating you like a street performer who couldn't make it to the main stage.
