Ye Nian reached Gu's office very soon, in just a few minute's ride as it was very close to her school. From there on, her father's secretary guided her to his cabin and as she entered, she saw Shi Yu standing there, discussing something with her father while Gu Yan was deeply concentered on his work.

But then his eyes lit up seeing his daughter here. "Ye Nian, what brings you here?" Before she could answer him back, Shi Yu spoke first. 

"She has her result out today. So, she had this condition that she will tell us her score and position only when we meet. In the end, I decided to meet here because I had some work too with you." Gu Yan nodded his head. 

They had an important matter to discuss and he's easily believed his words but who will tell him that Shi Yu had any other motive as well? He doesn't want ye Nian to know about him and his business, at least for now.

'Why does he sound so rude and aloof?' Ye Nian found it hard to see this nature of his but she swallowed a little saliva and then looked at her dad 

"Dad, guess my position in the top 50. Okay, one hint of you, I'm in top fifteen!" The happiness was reflected in her eyes as Gu Yan saw how happy she was, and how wide her smile was.

In return, he smiled and spoke, "first?"

"O, come on dad! You think that your child can first. I'm not that intelligent also. Don't joke around like this." In her family, only her brother is as much that intelligent, not her. 

But Gu Yan did not agree with her words. He had some other thoughts when he heard her words.

"For a father, his children are always first. That doesn't matter how stupid you might be but for me, you are always on top." this made her heart more warmed up as she listened to her father's words while Shi Yu looked at Ye Nian with his deep eyes.

'Why is she not facing me? Isn't she here to tell me?' what he did not notice was, Ye Nian was avoiding him.

From the very start, he bent to ignore her so she doesn't wish to entertain him as well.

But he kept wondering why and at least asked her directly, "Tell now. Which position have you scored?"

Hearing Shi Yu's voice behind her, Ye Nian answered, "I came at the third position of the whole class. Well, that's really better than my last year's position in exams!" Gu yan laughed his heart out as he patted Ye Nian's small head.

He was very proud of her. Because he has also seen how she used to prepare for the exams. Waking Up the whole night, solving the questions continuously, and sleeping at odd hours many times, he had to go to her room and ask her to go to sleep.

Along with it, she sometimes slept on the study table itself while studying and he had to bring her to the bed and adjust the blanket. As a father, he was learning all those responsibilities as well which might be done by Su Xi.

"That's like my good girl! You prepared a lot and that's your result. Well done, my princess!" hearing the praise from her father, Ye Nian felt relieved, at last, this made her father happy.

But Shi Yu did not speak anything. He stated this as usual and had no many reactions to her marks which made Ye Nian wonder if he wasn't happy for her marks? Why? She prepared for it and bagged the hit position.

Wasn't this good in these eyes? Ye Nian was hesitant to ask him about this because her father was also present there. If he answers in any sarcastic way, her father will get mad over him and this will make both of them quarrel.

"Umm.. dad, I have something to discuss with Mr. Shi. We both shall go down to the canteen, you do your work and we will meet at home." 

Gu Yan had no problem with it as he nodded his head towards Ye Nian and shifted his eyes to Shi Yu.

"Okay. Shi Yu, remember the file that I am asking you to bring next time. Work on that first and sideline other work for now. That is the main key and will help you to understand that stats better" from behind, Shi Yu nodded his head as he carried a specific file in his hand and followed Ye Nian out of the cabin.

But only Gu Yan was suspicious in his eyes as he looked at both of them with a little bit of curiosity in his eyes. 'Something To discuss? What can be discussed between them?' but he removed such thoughts from the mind.

It was better to put this thought all behind his head because Ye Nian and Shi Yu, were like two different poles! There was a huge age gap between them as well, Shi Yu is more like a family to him and… something that none know about him.

While Ye Nian made her way to the canteen as Shi Yu simply followed behind her silently, without cutting anything. He had no idea what does she has to tell him? Why was she especially taking him to the canteen to discuss it? 

But he kept his mouth shut and let her spoke whatever she wished to. He has no wish to fight with a stubborn person, especially someone like her who is ready to give him an answer to his every question and revert back in each way.

Turning around, Ye Nian folded her hands around her chest as she looked at him with her glaring eyes. "What? Surprised why I called you here?"

"More surprised with what you said. Why did you call me Mr. Shi? Wasn't this always like, Shi Yu? Suddenly you are calling me with so much formality? Is there anything you want to tell me?" he directly asked her, which made Ye Nian frown.

Clearing their throat, she asked him back "First it is my turn! Tell me, why did you not react after hearing my marks and position? Aren't you happy that I scored so well and did everything to make you proud?" he was taken aback by her words.

He had no idea that all she was saying was so him. From his point of view, he feels that everything is her mind because she wants to prove herself in front of everyone, as the daughter of the GU family.

At least, he was now proven wrong because she bluntly said that she did this to make him proud. 'She wanted me to be proud that I have such a brilliant student? Well, why do I suddenly feel my heart feeling a lot of warmth?' 

He wanted to rebel against such feelings but this wasn't in his hands. A sly smirk came on his face as he stared deeply into her round eyes and replied back, "Well, now that you have made me proud that's what you think so why do you want to know my opinion?"

'Because It matters me to know your view..' this thought suddenly came inside her mind but she hushed it behind. She has no guts to tell him that, how exactly her feeling is being developed slowly and steadily.

"B..because… you are my teacher, of course, you should be proud of me that I brought such good marks! You are getting such a good student like me! Aren't you happy?" Shi Yu felt that Ye Nian looked quite funny right now.

She was solely hiding her real intent but that is what she thinks. He can see in her eyes that she wanted to say something else but has feelings at the same time. 

'Oh god, why is she making me laugh so much?' but he kept his indifferent face on. Putting the file in his hand, on the side table, he tugged both of his hands into his pocket and then answered, "Ye Nian, that is your hard work. I did nothing and you don't have to make me feel proud."

"Why? You were the one who helped me achieve those marks. As your student, you should feel good that your student brought such a good mark and has a third position in the school. I am sure that your other students in the past must be the toppers but now, I Have the third position, I'm no less!"

"Ye Nian, I knew from the very beginning that you need the right mentor and you can do very well. The gene of the Gu family is very bright and that is there in you and of your brothers as well. Other is your hard work and nothing else." He immensely feels that he has nothing to contribute.

Raising her eyebrows, she asked, "Is that you want to tell me or testing else also? Are You trying to hide something?"
