Zhan Jingting's eyes darkened suddenly. "Wanwan, you're starting a fire."

"No way..." Qiao Wanwan's face turned red. "It really hurts, my tongue is numb."

The man lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips. "I'm sorry."

He held her quietly, without making any further moves.

Qiao Wanwan leaned against his chest, listening to his frantic heartbeat, and asked softly, "Zhan Jingting, are you in a bad mood?"

"No."

"You still say you're not? You're practically wearing 'I'm in a bad mood' written all over your face."

Zhan Jingting was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "Wanwan, will you regret everything you've done for him?"

Qiao Wanwan was completely confused. "Huh?"

"Gu Xulin, have you ever regretted becoming like this because of him?"

"It would be a lie to say I don't regret it, because it really hurt when I was injured." Qiao Wanwan smiled, but her eyes welled up with tears. "But how should I put it? At that time, I didn't think too much. I only knew that I should protect him."

"You love him that much?"

Qiao Wanwan gently shook her head. "I don't know. There are objective reasons why I am with him. It's because our two families had a good relationship in my grandparents' generation. They agreed to a marriage before I was even born. After I was found by the Qiao family, I accidentally saved Gu Xulin's grandfather once."

"Grandpa Gu likes me very much. Since I am the Qiao family's biological daughter, he brought up the matter of marriage and wanted me to marry Gu Xulin."

“My master is a very traditional person. Although he has never been married, he has instilled in me the importance of being devoted and loyal in relationships. So, since I have decided that Gu Xulin is my future husband, I am naturally devoted to him.”

A light suddenly lit up in the man's eyes. "So can I understand that you got hurt like this to save him not because you love him, but because you inherently care for him as your future husband?"

Qiao Wanwan thought for a moment and nodded, "You could say that. I can only blame myself for being blind and unable to judge people properly, which is why I've ended up in such a mess."

Zhan Jingting chuckled softly with pleasure.

Qiao Wanwan frowned. "I'm already in such a sorry state, and you're still laughing? Are you gloating?"

The man remained tight-lipped, saying, "Wanwan, you'll never understand."

"Don't understand what?"

"It's nothing." Zhan Jingting raised his hand and touched her face. "In short, Gu Xulin has completely left your life. From now on, you belong only to me."

"Mmm." Qiao Wanwan responded shyly, then suddenly remembered something and looked up at him. "You've been sullen all night. So this is what's on your mind?"

"No," the man denied outright.

"Still dare to lie?" Qiao Wanwan said confidently. "You must be sulking inside, feeling that I've sacrificed so much for Gu Xulin. Zhan Jingting, are you jealous?"

"I'm jealous of Gu Xulin?" Zhan Jingting sneered. "Does he even deserve it?"

Qiao Wanwan laughed out loud, "You dare to eat it but not admit it? You're clearly just jealous!"

"You dare laugh at me?" The man flipped her over and pinned her down again. "Madam Zhan, laughing at me comes at a price..."

"What's the price?"

I'll show you.

The man spoke, then lowered his head and kissed her lips...

......

The medical school's schedule was packed, so Qiao Wanwan found a seat in the last row and was just about to take a nap when she suddenly heard a loud noise.

Qiao Wanwan opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a handsome face.

"What are you doing?" Qiao Wanwan snapped back to reality.

"What do you mean, 'what for'? Of course, it's time to go to class." Zhan Yin looked at her with disdain.

Why are you sitting next to me in class?

"I'm doing it because I want to, what's wrong with that?"

Qiao Wanwan got up and left.

"Hey, where are you going?" Zhan Yin hurriedly followed, shamelessly sitting down next to her. "It's your good fortune to be able to sit with me, don't take it for granted."

Qiao Wanwan looked at him with a forced smile, "I really don't want this kind of good fortune."

"Not bad, Qiao Wanwan, you're really good at playing hard to get. Very good, you've successfully caught my attention."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"Zhan, you've been reading too many CEO romance novels, haven't you?"

How did you know? Do you need me to recommend a couple of books?

"......"

Zhan Yin propped his head up with his hand, looking at her lazily, "Qiao Wanwan, I heard you have a sugar daddy backing you, who is it?"

"What's it to you?"

“What’s wrong with caring about your classmates? Besides, Lao Yu thinks so highly of you, you can’t do anything immoral to embarrass him.” Zhan Yin added, “You seem easy to fool. Tell me the name of your sugar daddy. I have a lot of connections, I can help you check so you don’t get scammed.”

"Zhan, aren't you the school bully? When did you become so kind?" Qiao Wanwan asked suspiciously. "Tell me your purpose."

"Why don't you look in the mirror? What could I possibly want from someone like you?"

"Then why don't you get away from me?"

"I won't."

"You're not leaving, huh?" Qiao Wanwan's eyes darted around as she lifted the hair from her left cheek, revealing the scar on her left face to him.

"Holy crap!" Zhan Yin jumped in fright. "Are you trying to scare me to death?"

Zhan Yin only knew that she was lame and had heard that she was disfigured, but he had never seen the scars on her face so clearly before, and he almost threw up.

Qiao Wanwan sneered, "You find it disgusting, don't you? Then why aren't you leaving?"

Zhan Yin resisted the urge to move; he wasn't going to fall for any provocation!
