Chapter 735: Chapter 735: You Are Also a Man
Erbao rolled his eyes, "Can’t even accept that, yet claims to like, pah! Men really are all hypocrites!"
"Um, you’re a man too..." Mengmeng gently reminded from the side.
Erbao was stunned: "..."
Oh dear, I accidentally included myself in the criticism.
At that moment, Gu Zhihan, with his long strides, approached and wrapped an arm around Mengmeng’s shoulder, "It’s getting late, you should go to the graduation ceremony now."
Mengmeng nodded hurriedly, "Let’s go, let’s go."
The grand auditorium at Q University.
Sparkling crystal lights were emitting luxurious glows.
Countless graduates in gorgeous gowns were engaging in amiable conversations with smiles.
When Luo Mengmeng and her group entered, they instantly became the center of attention.
It couldn’t be helped; the men looked handsome and the women beautiful, plus there were three adorably cute little ones with them.
"That student from China is incredibly beautiful!"
"I heard she’s the one who developed the effective medicine against the Despair virus."
"That’s amazing..."
"Is the man next to her her husband? He’s so handsome!"
"More than that, did you see those three little boys? They’re her sons."
"Wow! She truly has won at life!"
All those present couldn’t help but cast envious and resentful glances towards Luo Mengmeng.
Luo Mengmeng remained unaffected by the praise and scorn, calmly ignoring them and leading her man and sons to find seats.
Soon, the principal of Q University walked onto the stage to deliver a passionate speech.
It seemed no matter where, leaders loved to give these lengthy, drowsy monologues.
Dabao: "I’m sleepy."
Erbao: "Same."
Xiaobao: "Me too."
Mengmeng: "And me."
Gu Zhihan: "..."
It was hard to say how much time had passed before the speech finally ended, and the dance began.
Music suddenly poured down as graduates hurriedly sought their dance partners.
Gu Zhihan stood up at that moment.
Dressed in a crisp suit, he approached gracefully and extended his hand like a gentleman, "Beautiful lady, may I have this dance?"
"Of course, you may."
Luo Mengmeng curved the corners of her lips upwards and placed her hand in his.
Just as the two were about to head to the dance floor, Erbao suddenly pouted and intervened, "I want to dance with Mommy too."
"You?" Before Mengmeng could speak, Gu Zhihan looked down at him dismissively, "Are you sure you can reach Mengmeng’s waist?"
Erbao instantly flushed with anger, "You, you..."
"Sweetie, wait until you’re grown up to dance with Mommy." Finally, Luo Mengmeng, unable to bear seeing Gu Zhihan tease their child, bent down to console him.
After placating Erbao, Luo Mengmeng and Gu Zhihan made their way to the stage.
As they danced, Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but glare at him, "Gu Zhihan, Erbao is your own son. Is it really okay for you to discourage him like this?"
Gu Zhihan innocently shrugged, "Actually, I’m training his resilience to setbacks."
Luo Mengmeng rolled her eyes, "Yeah right, as if I’d believe you!"
After the dance, Luo Mengmeng and Gu Zhihan left the stage.
It was deep into the night by the time the graduation ceremony ended.
With studies at Q University concluded, Mengmeng reentered the research institute where Dr. Carl was working, continuing her collaboration with him and other colleagues on the medicine to eradicate the Despair virus.
Seeing Mengmeng immersed daily in lab research for her condition, Xiaobao felt guilty deep within.
