From abandoned baby to CEO

Sun Xue was very happy about Matthew's invitation.

Through her understanding of living habits abroad during this period, she knows that dinner for foreigners is a full meal, and she feels honored to be invited to dinner.

It was Sun Xue’s first time visiting a foreign friend’s home, so she was a little nervous because she had to bring a gift after all.

Sun Xue told Bach the good news.

Bach first asked Sun Xue about her recent studies with Matthew.

Sun Xue happily told Bach that she had gained a lot from Matthew's tutoring during this period.

Bach nodded in satisfaction, then frowned and asked seriously, "Did Matthew really invite you to his house for dinner?"

Sun Xue was a little surprised: "What? Is there a problem?"

Bach's voice was a little hesitant: "Nothing... nothing, come back early after dinner."

Sun Xue always felt that Bach's expression was a little strange, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

During this period of time, she did not feel that Matthew was weird as Bach said. Apart from being a little serious, he was relatively kind.

After all, he is a well-known professor at Cambridge University, so it is normal for him to be serious.

Matthew's home is near Cambridge University. The first time he went there, Sun Xue bought him two bottles of red wine as a gift.

Matthew received Sun Xue warmly.

What Sun Xue didn't expect was that Matthew, a university professor, lived in such a luxurious place. She couldn't help but sigh that professors from top universities are really rich.

Matthew's villa is situated in a picturesque location, surrounded by beautiful gardens and large green areas.

Entering the villa, the spacious living room is covered with gorgeous carpets, high-end furniture is spotless, and sunlight shines in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The entire living room exudes luxury and nobility.

It was her first time as a guest at a foreigner’s home, and Sun Xue dressed herself up carefully before leaving.

Sun Xue discovered that Matthew was very different from usual. He was wearing a formal suit, looking energetic, dignified and elegant.

Matthew seemed very happy about Sun Xue's arrival.

The candlelight flickered gently on the exquisite dining table, and the exquisite silver cutlery flickered faintly in the candlelight. Matthew raised his wine glass and the red wine swayed gently in the glass.

"Sun Xue, it's a pleasure to have dinner with you!"

Sun Xue was a little flattered and raised her glass quickly: "Thank you, Professor!"

Sun Xue was a little puzzled. She didn't see Matthew's family in such a big villa.

Matthew prepared a delicious meal and, unlike his usual serious professorial attitude, he greeted Sun Xue warmly.

Such a scene made Sun Xue feel a little restrained and she ate very carefully.

The two of them ate and chatted, and talked about Sun Xue's studies.

Matthew told Sun Xue that as long as she followed his method, her language ability would soon improve to a higher level.

Sun Xue really believed this. After some time of Matthew's tutoring, Sun Xue could clearly feel that her reading and writing skills were improving rapidly.

Through chatting with Matthew, Sun Xue learned that Cambridge University's language and literature major is ranked second in the world, and Matthew is a professor in the School of Literature, and a famous professor at that.

Upon learning that Sun Xue was a writer from China, Matthew was full of pride: "Sun Xue, my students are all over the world, many of them are very famous writers. I can introduce them to you."

"Thank you, Professor."

Dinner lasted a full hour, and after it, Matthew took Sun Xue to visit his villa.

Matthew's villa has two floors. Sun Xue can no longer remember how many rooms there are. It is decorated elegantly and luxuriously.

There is also a gym on the second floor, and the study has a large collection of books, it is like a small library.

The two chatted while visiting. It was called chatting, but in fact it was Matthew who talked non-stop and Sun Xue just listened silently, occasionally giving a symbolic compliment.

Matthew talked about his life. His wife was also a teacher at Cambridge University and passed away many years ago.

He has a son who has started a family and is an executive at a Fortune 500 company in Kangqiao City.

He usually lives here alone, and Sun Xue finally understood why only the two of them had dinner together.

"Sun Xue, do you like life abroad?"

"I like it!" Sun Xue blurted out.

To be honest, Cambridge University is more of a city than a university.

There are more than thirty colleges in Cambridge University, and until now, Sun Xue has never visited the entire university campus.

She heard from Bach that it would take at least several hours to tour the entire Cambridge University on foot.

Whether in terms of culture, economic development level, or quality of life, this place is far superior to developed cities in China.

Hearing Sun Xue's answer, Matthew immediately extended an olive branch to Sun Xue: "Sun Xue, if you are willing, I will find a way to let you stay here."

After saying this, Matthew's eyes fell directly on Sun Xue's face.

Matthew's eyes made Sun Xue feel uncomfortable all over.

Sun Xue immediately answered decisively: "I'm sorry, Professor, I will return to China after my studies. That's my home."

Matthew was not discouraged. "I can guarantee that as long as you stay, you will live a more comfortable life than in your country."

Sun Xue shook her head and smiled: "I have never thought about it."

Matthew said calmly: "It's okay, wait until you stay here for a while, you will like it here."

Matthew looked confident when he said this.

Sun Xue just smiled and thought, how could she stay abroad.

Her relatives and her lover are all in China. Even if the conditions abroad are better, she will not abandon her family for the sake of wealth and fame. That is impossible.

Besides, she felt that Matthew was just talking casually.

"Sun Xue, you can consider it." Matthew looked serious.

Sun Xue nodded perfunctorily.

She glanced at the big clock on the wall and said politely, "Professor, I won't disturb you to rest. I have to go back now. Thank you for your hospitality!"

"Sun Xue, you're welcome. I've enjoyed chatting with you today. I'm also going to talk to you more about your studies." Matthew looked reluctant.

"It's too late today. I have something else to do when I get back."

"Then I won't try to keep you here. Come to my house often when you have time. I don't have much to do when I get home from get off work. Let's discuss some literary issues together. I will do my best to help you."

Sun Xue felt that Matthew's behavior tonight was very different from usual. He was extremely enthusiastic, and even the way he looked at her was different from usual.

She remembered that Matthew had rejected her outright, saying that he was very busy, but how did he suddenly have time?

"Sun Xue, let me drive you!"

"Oh... no... it's just a short distance. I can walk there." Sun Xue explained hurriedly.

Matthew insisted on sending Sun Xue out of the villa. Just as Sun Xue was about to turn around and leave, Matthew smiled and suddenly opened his arms: "Sun Xue, I had a great dinner today."

Sun Xue was at a loss as to what to do and was gently hugged by Matthew.

Matthew said in her ear: "Sun Xue, I'm glad to meet you. You are very beautiful."

Although it was just a gentle hug, which lasted only a few seconds, Sun Xue felt uncomfortable all over.

Especially when she thought of Matthew's hairy hand on her waist, she got goosebumps.

But Sun Xue thought about it and realized that hugging is a greeting gesture in their country, just like the Chinese handshake.

A few days later, Sun Xue received another invitation from Matthew: "Sun Xue, come to my house for dinner tonight."

Matthew's tone was calm, as if he was inviting an old friend.

Coming out of Matthew's office, Sun Xue was a little hesitant.

To go or not to go?
