Under the cover of night, Xue Qiandai chuckled, wiping her lips as if she hadn't had enough.
Huo Yunchao, on the other hand, was somewhat annoyed. As a novice in love, all his awkwardness and innocence were naturally revealed.
"So you were already in love all along; all that before was just playing hard to get. Beauty Huo, you've mastered the Thirty-Six Stratagems quite well!"
Huo Yunchao proudly raised his head and straightened his neck, "Only those who care will use schemes; those who don't care will simply ignore it and treat it like air."
Xue Qiandai leaned in again and kissed the corner of his lips, her tenderness blooming for him. "My beauty, I love your care, I love everything you give me."
Huo Yunchao dared not move an inch. He suddenly realized that a wild beast lurked within him, and once unleashed, it would be impossible to rein it in. But they had only just begun their relationship; they needed to take it slow and let things develop gradually.
Xue Qiandai then asked him about Yu Xue, and he gave a brief, dismissive answer. It was clear he had absolutely no opinion of that so-called senior; well, she was like air to him.
But later, the tree longed for stillness, but the wind wouldn't cease. There's a kind of high-level tea that kills without leaving a trace, like Yu Xue (a type of tea).
In a single glance, time has flown by.
At this moment, Yu Xue stood before her like a long-lost friend.
"Senior Sister Yu, it's been a long time."
Xue Qiandai emphasized the words "senior sister." "You old vixen, stop pretending to be innocent."
Yu Xue blinked her doe-like eyes. "I heard from Yun Chao that you dropped out of school to study fashion. I didn't expect you to come to Tsinghua University's alumni association."
Xue Qiandai didn't believe a word Huo Yunchao would tell her about Xue Qiandai. It was a complete fantasy.
"Once you enter the gates of Tsinghua University, you become a member of Tsinghua University. Why can't I come? Besides, it was Brother Chao who invited me here."
"Chao Ge" is an incredibly affectionate nickname.
Yu Xue's cheek muscles twitched almost imperceptibly, but she quickly smoothed her hair and opened her mouth, "Really? Are you going to the Magpie Bridge Meeting later? I heard that several girls are asking about Yun Chao."
The Magpie Bridge Meeting? Even though Xue Qiandai was disdainful, she still knew about this kind of vulgar matchmaking show. She stood up abruptly, her disgust undisguised, and snorted through her delicate nose, "Is that so? Then they'll be disappointed. The person is mine. The human heart is the most greedy, always coveting what doesn't belong to it."
Xue Qiandai stepped forward and brushed past Yu Xue. Suddenly, she heard Yu Xue whisper, "In the past, you were a high-society socialite, unmatched in your brilliance. But now, what do you have to compete with? Only the most outstanding people can stand beside him."
Every word is a silent knife.
Yes, every word she said was a reminder that Xue Qiandai had fallen on hard times, gone bankrupt, and was no longer worthy of Huo Yunchao.
Xue Qiandai didn't answer, "They're not related people, but Brother Chao's heart is with me." It's just not something I can tell outsiders.
After going to the restroom, Xue Qiandai looked at herself in the mirror. Her face still looked sophisticated, but calluses had formed on her fingers—a gift of life. She rallied her spirits. There would be many doubts ahead; this wasn't the first, nor would it be the last. So, let them come.
She returned to her original spot, but Yu Xue was nowhere to be found.
About ten minutes later, she saw Huo Yunchao walk out of the multi-functional hall connected to the small banquet hall. He was in high spirits and beaming with pride.
They probably had a good talk with TC Group.
Just as Huo Yunchao was walking towards Xue Qiandai, Yu Xue appeared again. She spoke to Huo Yunchao for a while, and he stopped, made a phone call, which lasted about three minutes. From Xue Qiandai's perspective, they could see Yu Xue touch Huo Yunchao's arm, and Huo Yunchao gracefully stepped back, letting her pass.
Yu Xue smiled, her eyes gentle.
The time was right. Xue Qiandai stepped forward and, passing by Yu Xue, said, "Excuse me."
She walked to Huo Yunchao's side, loosely wrapped her arms around him, tiptoed and pecked him on the lips, saying in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I have something to do, I have to leave for a bit. Congratulations on securing the big TC order, my beauty!"
"Dai Dai!" Huo Yunchao didn't know why she wanted to leave, but her behavior just now was too shocking. Since their breakup, they had maintained proper etiquette and never overstepped boundaries. Her sudden kiss meant something must have happened. How could TC's single compare to hers? "Whatever it is, don't hide it from me."
Xue Qiandai smiled, composed and elegant. "I'm fine, it's just something I had to face."
Then she turned around and looked at Yu Xue with the air of a victor.
Yu Xue's face had turned pale. Time and again, she had kissed him so openly, and he hadn't uttered a single word of rejection or resistance. Yu Xue longed to do what Xue Qiandai had done, but ultimately dared not cross Lei Ting's line even slightly, and could only watch in silence.
She hates it!
Xue Qiandai's figure disappeared from the hotel.
Huo Yunchao chased after her, "Dai Dai! I'll take you there."
She remained silent, gazing intently at me, and mouthed, "Don't worry, I can handle it." She decisively hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Central Villa District.
From the family's bankruptcy to now, she has been running non-stop, setting aside her pride and arrogance, doing things she's never done before, yet it's still too slow. When will she be able to catch up with Huo Meiren again?
Huo Meiren has secured a major contract with TC, taking her career to new heights. How can she catch up? Will she have to rely on Huo Meiren's resources again?
Proud as she was, she couldn't tolerate it.
Moreover, so many people coveted her beauty! Beauty itself is innocent, yet she was passively attracting unwanted attention, which she could not let go of.
I don't want to talk to him right now!
They had arrived at the Central Villa District. Xue Qiandai felt as if she were in a dream. She wiped her face, where a string of tears remained.
