The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement

65 Pre-Match Preparation

In a flash, countless reasons flashed through Xu Heng’s mind, but he did not expect He Miao to do it purely for the money.

He shook his head helplessly, put away the recipe, and said with a smile, “You’re really honest. Fortunately, you came early. The registration for the fragrance-making competition for the senior year group has closed today. I’ll just add you in.”

“Thank you, professor!” He Miao thanked Xu Heng in surprise.

Xu Heng waved his hand and looked at her with a smile. “The first prize is a total of 100000 Yuan. Do your best.”

He Miao’s heart skipped a beat. She did not expect the prize money for such a competition to be so generous. She looked at Xu Heng in surprise.

The latter explained to her calmly, “This competition is a national one. That’s why the prize money is so generous. Next Monday, I’ll take you to the capital for the competition. You should prepare well.”

Xu Meng immediately raised her hand in excitement and recommended herself, “Professor! I’m going too, to gain some experience!”

Xu Heng glared at her reproachfully. He wanted to scold her for not knowing her place in school. However, when he saw the excitement in her eyes, he thought that if he could stimulate her enthusiasm in making perfumes through the competition, it might be beneficial to her academic performance. So he nodded helplessly and agreed.

For this competition, He Miao had spent almost all her spare time on experiments.

Although she had yet to satisfy the tutor’s request for full marks, considering that she was about to represent the school and participate in the competition with the upper-class group, the tutor could only turn a blind eye and reluctantly agree.

This national competition must have gathered many geniuses in the fragrance-making industry. He Miao did not dare to be careless. Every day, she was working. She kept cool and immersed herself in the laboratory, developing new fragrances with Xu Heng.

He Feng put down his chopsticks and cursed, “This is outrageous!”

Zhong Fei pretended to be tolerant and comforted He Feng, who was in a rage. “Hubby, Miaomiao is already at this age. It’s normal for her to come home late when she’s out having fun with her friends.”

“But she shouldn’t have said nothing! Today, Young Master Zhou invited her for a meal, but she actually rejected him. Isn’t this embarrassing for me?” The more He Feng spoke, the angrier he became. He picked up his phone and called He Miao. He had to teach her a lesson.

He Miao’s experiment was only one step away from the final stage. It was at a critical moment, and she was startled by the sudden ringing of her phone. The hand holding the spice bottle trembled, and she actually sprinkled a little more when the ingredients with a strict ratio into it, ruining the balance. The entire experiment could be considered to be useless.

She put down the spice bottle in frustration and took out her phone to see that it was He Feng who had called her.

She rubbed her eyebrows tiredly. She did not need to think to know why He Feng had called her.

Today, she had just rejected Zhou Zhu, and He Feng, who had never called her before, immediately called her. He was really “concerned” about his daughter!

Xu Heng looked at the time, frowned and said, “Your family is worried about you, right? I didn’t expect it to be so late. You should go home. This experiment can be wrapped up now. It’s not too late to do it tomorrow.”

He Miao nodded and answered the call.

He Feng’s roar immediately came from the other end of the phone. “He Miao! Do you still have me in your heart? What time is it already and you’re still not home? I don’t know what you’re doing outside every day, hanging out with some shady people. Young Master Zhou is giving you the honor of treating you to a meal, and you’re still putting on airs and not going. Where do you want me to put my face?”

Xu Heng heard the contents of the phone clearly from the side. When he heard the words “putting on airs”, his face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He was no fool. He could tell the real reason why He Miao’s father made this call. He probably just did not care about his daughter; he was doing it for his own sake.

He suddenly understood why He Miao needed money so much. With a father like this, He Miao’s life at home must not be easy.

He Miao hung up the phone after a few perfunctory words and apologized to Xu Heng.

It was clearly a personal matter between her and her family, but for no reason, she had implicated her teacher and caused him to be scolded. It was really her mistake.

Xu Heng waved his hand indifferently. “Go back quickly. Don’t worry about this small matter. If you need anything in the future, just come to me.”

He Miao nodded gratefully and took a taxi back to the He family house. The moment she entered the house, she saw He Feng standing at the door, staring at her coldly.
