After my injuries healed, I returned to work at the institution.

The principal found me and said a new student had arrived who had just returned from abroad, was not very familiar with Chinese, and had a somewhat introverted personality, asking me to take care of her more.

The student who had just returned to the country was Guoguo, the daughter of Wen Yi and her ex-husband.

The little girl crouched alone in a corner, occasionally chatting with classmates, but she just kept her head down and remained silent.

I didn't pay too much attention to her, but she was studying very seriously in my periphery.

"Guoguo, why isn't your mom here to pick you up?"

The girls in the dance studio were gradually being picked up, leaving only her sitting quietly in the lobby.

"Teacher, my mom must be busy, can you help me make a call?"

I didn't want to make this call and stood there feeling awkward.

At this time, two people walked towards the institution's glass door.

Gu Ming and Wen Yi.

Gu Ming saw me and quietly pulled Wen Yi's hand away from his.

Wen Yi was very smart and immediately noticed Gu Ming's awkwardness.

Her eyes looked at me with hostility.

"Teacher Yu, hello, I am Guoguo's mother."

I ignored her, staring straight at Gu Ming.

He had a look of panic in his eyes when he saw me outside the door just now, but after locking eyes with me, it turned into a look of confidence.

"Shishi, I just brought her to pick up Guoguo, we can't let the child wait too long."

I smiled gently, softly patting Guoguo's head.

"The child should indeed come first, be early next time."

"It's getting late, you should go back soon too."

Gu Ming took a step forward, distancing himself from Wen Yi and her daughter.

"Let me take you back."

Wen Yi didn't expect Gu Ming to choose me over her and her daughter.

She reached out to hold Gu Ming's hand, ignoring the fact that the child was still watching on the side.

"Gu Ming, what about me and Guoguo? You know, I don't know how to use the local ride-hailing apps."

The worry in Gu Ming's eyes was unfeigned, something I had never seen during our five years of marriage.

He looked at me again, with lingering concern and a hint of apology that disappeared in an instant.

"Shishi, you know Wen Yi just returned to the country, still with a child, I can't rest assured, let me call a car for you."

After hearing their words, I felt a sourness in my stomach, as if I wanted to vomit out what I ate yesterday.

I tapped on my phone a few times.

"I've got it, I'm not useless, I can't even call a car."

As I walked away, I heard Wen Yi cooing to Gu Ming behind me.

"Look at her, what does she mean, she's like this, and you're not divorcing her."
