Jiang Jingxue snapped out of her daze and turned to ask, "Keqi, what did you just say?"

Yue Keqi quickly shook her head.

"N-nothing. It's getting late, let's go back. By the way, Sister Jingxue, can I sleep at your place tonight?"

Yue Keqi stubbornly insisted on following Jiang Jingxue back to the Gu family home.

She was worried that it wouldn't be safe for Jiang Jingxue to go back alone.

I hope that crazy Bai Xiuxiu won't pop up again anytime soon.

At least the two of them have each other's company.

Jiang Jingxue knew in her heart that Yue Keqi was doing it for her own good.

So I didn't refuse.

"OK."

When they got home, Gu Pingwei was waiting for them in the living room.

Why are you home so late today?

Gu Pingwei took Jiang Jingxue's hand.

Qin Liang, standing to the side, made sarcastic remarks.

"Madam, you haven't returned yet. The major has been worried sick at home..."

Unable to save face, Gu Pingwei quickly said, "Shut up! Qin Liang, it's getting late, you should go back first."

"Yes, Major." Qin Liang suppressed a laugh as he left.

I don't know who was pacing back and forth in the living room just now, but the lady was only ten minutes late and she was already so anxious.

This man is so obsessed with saving face.

Jiang Jingxue chuckled lightly: "I'm fine. The principal kept me behind for a few words and told me that I won first place in this competition."

Jiang Jingxue secretly waved to Yue Keqi, signaling her not to mention Bai Xiuxiu.

She didn't want Gu Pingwei to know he was worried.

Yue Keqi understood and didn't mention it.

However, she intentionally or unintentionally showed off her bracelet, earrings, and necklace.

"Oh dear, I bought this bracelet last year for my birthday, so I have to buy a bigger one this year. This necklace of mine is out of style, so I'll get a new one in a few days."

Seeing that Gu Pingwei had no reaction, Yue Keqi simply spoke plainly.

"Pingwei, don't you think there's something missing about Jingxue?"
