Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1759 He Could Ignore Everyone

The base is classified as one of the country’s top secrets, so there’s no way I can reveal anything. I’m also sure Dad

didn’t explain the actual situation to the lecturers when he decided to let me enroll here.

Meanwhile, realization dawned on Jacques after hearing Ian’s response.

I see. He has been studying on his own. No wonder the lecturer asked me to take good care of this new student,

worrying that he wouldn’t have a good grasp of the basics and would fall behind in class.

Subsequently, Jacques became even more welcoming toward Ian. He even asked one of the Faculty of Finance’s

top students to help guide Ian.

He led a girl over to Ian, then said as he gestured toward her, “Ian, this is Yasmin Snow. She’s one of our faculty’s

top students. Seeing that you’ve just enrolled, I think it’d be a good idea to have her guide you for the time being.”

Yasmin Snow?

Ian cast her a nonchalant glance.

She’s rather beautiful. However, she seems just as cold and aloof as me. Even though Yasmin stood before Ian, she

merely looked at him with an impassive expression and nodded curtly without saying anything.

Since she was so cold toward him, it was even more unlikely that Ian would attempt to converse with her.

They entered the lecture hall together, but despite sitting next to each other, they did not interact at all throughout

the entire duration of the class. It was only toward the end of the class that she cast a sidelong glance at him.

Neither of them said a word…

He has been fixing his eyes on the lecturer the whole time, never seeming to turn his attention elsewhere.

She had also noticed a slight frown marring his handsome features from time to time, and she guessed it was

because he had not understood something the lecturer had said. Nonetheless, he made no move to ask Yasmin

anything. Instead, he picked up his pen and quickly jotted down notes in his new notebook.

She watched as his pen moved purposefully across the page with a flourish, and his handwriting was as beautiful as

his looks.

Yasmin quietly withdrew her gaze. Five minutes before class ended, she finally broke the silence. “If there’s

anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.”

Ian did not respond immediately.

He had been twirling his pen between his long, slender fingers. However, he paused his movements for a moment,

then murmured an acknowledgment.

Yasmin frowned again.

What’s with that attitude?

She could not help feeling a little irked by his behavior. Known as the ice queen of the Faculty of Finance, she was

recognized for her beauty and academic excellence. Hence, many of the male students in their faculty would

always seek to win her favor.

However, Ian did not seem bothered to pay her the slightest attention at all.

After class, Yasmin hugged her books to her chest and left without a word.

As for Ian, he glanced at his watch and realized that he did not have any other classes that morning. Hence, he left

the lecture hall and went to the Faculty of Business Administration to look for Susan.

Halfway there, he bumped into Susan, who was on his way to look for him. She ran over happily as soon as she

spotted him and asked, “Ian, is your class over? How was it? Have you been able to settle in?”

Ian’s handsome face finally broke into a slight smile when he saw a familiar face.

“Mmm, it’s going okay. Have you just finished your class?”

“Yes. Let’s go and grab a bite, then. Your father told me you’re also handling some work at the company while

studying. Is that right?” she asked in a caring tone.

He nodded. “Yes. He said he’d assign me a project.”

Susan replied, “Okay. Let’s hurry up and get something to eat. I’ve checked your class schedule. You only have one

class later this afternoon. We can head to the library after eating, and you can work there. No one will disturb you

there.”

She was truly meticulous to a fault, thinking of everything and making the necessary arrangements for Ian after

Sebastian spoke to her.

As such, Ian felt comfortable with following her arrangements.

Two of them walked toward the cafeteria. Knowing that Ian had been waited on hand and foot since he was little

and would not be used to the usual cafeteria fare, she had arranged for the cafeteria staff to prepare some other

dishes just for him. She went to get the food when they arrived at the cafeteria and carried it over to him.

“Look. Here’s the food I asked them to prepare for you. I think you’ll like it,” Susan said as she set the dishes before

him.

Of course, she had also specially prepared a set of plates and cutlery for his use.

Pressing his lips into a smile, Ian lowered his head and picked up the fork.

Suddenly, some of the students in the cafeteria caught sight of Ian and Susan as they ate. “Oh my goodness! Isn’t

that… the new guy from our faculty? Why is he sitting with a girl? Also… Was he smiling just now?” they exclaimed.

One of the students who had noticed them was a girl with a bun.

They’re right. Ian was actually smiling. From the minute he stepped into class earlier, he wore an icy expression as

if enveloped in layers of frost. I tried to get close to him several times, but that expression never changed. It was

also the same when our faculty’s ice queen sat next to him. So, what’s so special about that girl? Why did he let her

sit and eat with him? Why did he smile at her?

Zaylynn was the beloved daughter of the Neal family and was used to being the center of attention. As resentment

bubbled within her, she stepped out of the queue with a plate still in her hands, then stormed straight toward Ian

and Susan.
