Chapter 44 Chapter 44

From where she was sitting, she could vaguely see several cars slowly driving into the estate and parking in the open-air parking area.

Qiao Yanrou looked at He Xiaoyu. He Xiaoyu was standing there looking into the distance, as if she had completely forgotten about changing the water in the swimming pool.

She knew that He Xiaoyu liked Xue Yu, so she didn't disturb her from watching her lover.

After a while, the lights in the villa were brightly lit, and Qiao Yanrou was already changing the water in the swimming pool with He Xiaoyu.

The sounds of chatting and laughter in the villa spread from the terrace. Qiao Yanrou changed the water while listening to the noise inside. She felt as if she had returned to her previous life. It was hard for her to believe that this was the end of the world.

He Xiaoyu next to him had no mind to do anything. He only wanted to see Xue Yu. He was even more afraid that someone at the party would like him and let someone else get there first. After all, if they drank, anything could happen.

Qiao Yanrou didn't pay attention to He Xiaoyu and concentrated on filling the swimming pool with water.

Several people came out of the villa and saw Qiao Yanrou and He Xiaoyu changing the water, waiting patiently.

"I'm going to change into my swimsuit."

"I'll go with you."

Several girls at the party went back to change into their swimsuits and couldn't wait to go swimming.

Xue Yu walked out of the villa holding a glass of wine, and several girls passing by him cast admiring glances at him.

Xue Yu stood by the swimming pool, his eyes passing from He Xiaoyu to the woman wearing a hat and black-framed glasses. He hadn't even seen this woman's face in such a long time.

He took a sip of his wine. She seemed... mysterious.

The water in the pool was making a surging sound. Qiao Yanrou saw that the water level had reached a certain level and retracted her supernatural power in time. He Xiaoyu, who was beside her, was only focused on looking at Xue Yu. Only after Qiao Yanrou deliberately coughed lightly did she realize it and retracted her supernatural power.

Seeing that the work was done, Qiao Yanrou didn't care whether He Xiaoyu next to her wanted to leave with her or not. She prepared to leave the manor alone.

The housekeeper came forward again and told them to wait a moment.

"I'll bring some food for you to take back." Housekeeper Ci said with a smile and walked into the villa.

While waiting, the scene that He Xiaoyu least wanted to see happened.

By the swimming pool, everyone else had entered the villa, except Xue Yu, who was standing on the right. Due to the distance, she couldn't tell whether Xue Yu's eyes were on her or He Xiaoyu.

A beautiful girl wearing a swimsuit and a thin jacket walked up to Xue Yu and confessed her love to him with confidence. With her beauty and strength, Xue Yu had no reason to reject her.

"Mr. Xue, I like you. Can you consider letting me be your girlfriend?"

The girl's voice was neither loud nor soft, so Qiao Yanrou and He Xiaoyu naturally couldn't hear it clearly, but they could roughly tell what happened.

She turned her back consciously, with no intention of watching her confession.

He Xiaoyu was the opposite of her. She wanted to walk up and push the girl away. Why did that girl have the right to confess her love to Mr. Xue?

He Xiaoyu was afraid that Xue Yu would agree to let that girl be his girlfriend, and she was so anxious that she couldn't even stand still.

Xue Yu shifted his gaze from the woman opposite him, wearing a hat and with her back turned, and replied to her casually, "No."

The girl who confessed her love had an expression of disbelief on her face and couldn't even keep her smile on.

"Mr. Xue...how have I made you dissatisfied?" She was beautiful and a mid-level psychic. She was even about to be promoted to a high level. Everyone looked up to her.

Xue Yu had no impression of her, let alone any other unfounded thoughts, and said nonchalantly: "I don't fall in love."

The girl's face turned pale and blue, and she felt even more embarrassed when she saw many people in the villa sticking their heads out to watch the fun.

She angrily took off her thin coat and threw it on the beach chair next to her, showing off her proud figure as she walked towards the swimming pool. As she walked down the pool, she looked at Xue Yu with seductive eyes.

The girl had forgotten that she couldn't swim, and she accidentally slipped and fell into the swimming pool.

The swimming pool was filled with the sound of her struggling and splashing water. He Xiaoyu saw it and watched the show with glee, wishing there was one less rival in love. How could he possibly go down to save her?

Xue Yu drank his wine and ignored the people struggling in the swimming pool.

Qiao Yanrou originally thought that Xue Yu would go to rescue people, but she didn't expect him to stand by the swimming pool, watching everything indifferently.

Without having time to think about anything else, she took off her hat and black-framed glasses, ran to the girl, jumped into the swimming pool and swam straight towards her.

When she jumped into the swimming pool, she heard He Xiaoyu, who was watching the show, exclaim.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

Qiao Yanrou had already held the girl's chin with one hand, allowing her face to float above the water. Fortunately, the girl did not hold her tightly. She held the girl and swam to the edge of the swimming pool, grabbed the iron bar and pulled the girl up.

She was still thinking about how to drag the girl to the ground. Just as she was about to call Xue Yu, who was standing not far away, to come for help, she suddenly realized that she had special abilities.

Only then did he use his water ability to wrap up the girl, successfully lift her out of the swimming pool, and lay her flat on the ground.

The girl kept coughing and gradually regained consciousness. It was obvious that her life was not in danger for the time being.

"Are you okay?" Qiao Yanrou asked her.

The girl coughed a few times, and her eyes suddenly met the stunningly beautiful Qiao Yanrou, staring at her blankly.

Qiao Yanrou frowned slightly, reached out to feel her pulse, and saw that there was nothing serious.

“…Thank you.” The girl thought she had met a god in a trance. Now that she was more conscious, she knew that someone had saved her.

At this time, several girls and two men ran out of the villa, asked the rescued girl on the ground about her well-being, helped the girl up, and a group of people entered the villa.

Only the two men who came out of the villa looked at Qiao Yanrou with dull eyes, as if they were bewitched by her.

Xue Yu was about to finish his drink when he paused, his eyes fixed on her, finally taking in her features...

Qiao Yanrou was soaked, her black hair was slightly messy and stuck to her thin shoulders. Her beautiful face was more beautiful than a lotus flower emerging from the water. She did not stay for long, and quickly picked up her hat and black-framed glasses and put them on in her wet clothes.

It happened that the housekeeper came out of the villa with two bags of food in his hands and saw that her loose clothes were dripping with water.

"Oh! You fell into the water? Go in and change your clothes." The housekeeper was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she quickly asked her to go in and change her wet clothes.

Qiao Yanrou smiled and said, "It's okay, I can just go back and change."

Seeing that she wouldn't listen, the housekeeper quickly handed her one of the bags of food.

"Go back quickly, don't catch a cold."

In response to the butler's concern, Qiao Yanrou nodded and thanked him, then took the bag and left alone towards the manor gate.

He Xiaoyu came back to his senses from her beauty and was angry about why she had to save that woman. He took the bag from the housekeeper and left in a rage following Qiao Yanrou.

Qiao Yanrou walked in front, the evening breeze blew on her body, and her wet clothes were blown by the wind, making her shiver with cold.

He Xiaoyu called out to her from behind, and while following her quickened pace, she asked her unhappily, "Why did you go to save her?"

Qiao Yanrou didn't bother to pay attention to her. Instead of slowing down, she sped up her pace. She felt uncomfortable in her wet clothes, and she was also cold.

He Xiaoyu ignored her and continued, "Don't you know that I like Mr. Xue?" Why did she want to save her love rival!

Qiao Yanrou calmly said, "What does it have to do with me?"

In an instant, He Xiaoyu was speechless and was so angry that she sat in the sightseeing bus and ignored her.

Qiao Yanrou ignored her temper because her clothes were wet and she sat in the corner of the sightseeing bus.

Uncle Wu asked her what happened. Thinking she was being bullied, she smiled and explained. Uncle Wu was relieved and quickly started the sightseeing car to let her return to her residence as soon as possible.

As the sightseeing bus started moving, the wind made Qiao Yanrou feel cold, and the wet clothes on her body made her very uncomfortable.

Uncle Wu drove much faster and dropped her off near her residence in less than half an hour.

The sightseeing bus stopped, but she didn't get off immediately. Instead, she took out a clean rag from the storage space and wiped off the water dripping from the seat.

Qiao Yanrou got off the sightseeing bus, quickly walked up to the fifth floor, closed the open door, changed her wet clothes, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

More than half an hour later, she walked to the window, dry and refreshed, gently wiped her waist-length hair with a towel, and looked out the window.

I wonder if Fu Chuqing mentioned her outfit or appearance to Xue Yu. She shouldn't be recognized, right?

Qiao Yanrou had this concern, but then she thought again, Fu Chuqing had already left the base. Even if Xue Yu recognized her as the person Fu Chuqing was looking for, she believed that Xue Yu would not be so idle as to go around looking for Fu Chuqing.
