Huo Qi paused, a hint of resentment appearing on his face. "It seems I haven't been coming to school enough. Someone has dared to make a move on you again."
"No, no, this junior seems to be a freshman this year. It's normal that he doesn't know about your relationship with me. I've already explained everything." Lin Ruanruan quickly tried to soothe him.
Her husband, Huo Qi, is good in every way, except that he's a bit jealous and controlling.
Huo Qi reached out his free hand and took Lin Ruanruan's left hand, which was resting on his thigh, and stroked the ring on Lin Ruanruan's middle finger with his fingers.
"It just so happens that the president of a university in a neighboring province also invited me to give a speech this year, so I won't decline."
He had to show off their affection again, so that everyone would know about his relationship with Aruan once more.
Lin Ruanruan was both amused and exasperated. Back in their freshman year, before they were even engaged, Huo Qi came to pick her up and happened to see a boy in public holding roses, asking Lin Ruanruan to accept him.
Everyone around her was egging her on, urging her to agree, but when Lin Ruanruan said she had a boyfriend, they all seemed not to hear her.
Huo Qi was furious at that moment, and he immediately pulled Lin Ruanruan back with a dark face.
As a result, when the boy's advances were rejected, he started spreading rumors about Lin Ruanruan, saying that she was being kept by a sugar daddy. Fang Lan and Wang Zihao said that the two of them spent the whole night arguing with others on the campus network. When Huo Qi learned what had happened the next day, he was so angry that he rushed into the school and demanded an explanation from the principal.
Huo Qi is an outstanding graduate of a university in a neighboring province, the eldest son of the Huo family, and the future head of the Huo family. His own company is now a key national enterprise, so the university dares not neglect him at all.
The student was immediately made to apologize over the loudspeaker, but he stubbornly insisted that the school was bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He even put on a live broadcast, claiming that he had been bullied by hegemonism.
They said that Lin Ruanruan was keeping him on her leash while being kept by the eldest son of the Huo family, and that the Huo family was now putting pressure on him, etc.
He had a very good plan. He positioned himself as a victim to attract sympathy, and when public opinion rallied, even the Huo family couldn't do anything to him.
It can only be said that he was too naive. Not only can public opinion be controlled, but the eyes of the masses are also discerning.
They could tell at a glance that the photos of Lin Ruanruan taken by the boy were taken secretly. Moreover, although the boy was somewhat good-looking, he was nowhere near as handsome as the eldest son of the Huo family. It could only be said that he was too confident, actually putting himself on the same level as Huo Qi.
Some people also recognized Lin Ruanruan as a very popular online streamer, 'Energetic Girl Zhu Ganglie', because she rarely appears on camera and many people don't know what she looks like.
Some veteran netizens directly posted screenshots of Lin Ruanruan's live stream supporting Huo Xian during her high school years. Only then did everyone realize that the protagonist of such a popular meme was Lin Ruanruan. It turned out that this school beauty was the daughter of the Lin Group. How could such an outstanding heiress possibly be interested in this ordinary guy?
Everyone couldn't help but sigh that the 'energetic girl Zhu Ganglie' had grown up quite a bit, becoming more and more beautiful as she grew up.
The boy was stunned when he saw how things had developed. These netizens weren't doing things his way. How was he supposed to continue acting?
Before he could figure it out, the school told him to pack his bags and leave. Only then did he realize that his previous apology was to give him a chance, but he didn't seize it. By then, it was too late for him to apologize.
Since this incident, Huo Qi has secretly sent someone to be on standby by Lin Ruanruan's side at all times, to report to him in detail everything that happens to Lin Ruanruan at school every day.
Lin Ruanruan knew about all his actions, but she didn't stop him. She just wanted to reassure her boyfriend. It was also good to have someone secretly protecting her. Many times when she got tired of carrying things, someone would come out from the side to help her carry them.
Huo Qi remained this nervous until his engagement to Lin Ruanruan.
During her sophomore year, Lin Ruanruan and Huo Qi got engaged, and wealthy people from all over the country were invited to attend their engagement ceremony.
On the same day, the Huo family's official corporate account updated the news of the couple's engagement, and many netizens were captivated by the perfect match in the photos.
Some people even went to the account of the energetic girl Zhu Ganglie to ask for food and updates on their daily lives.
Huo Qi also flaunted his relationship everywhere. When the principal invited him to give a speech at the school, he readily agreed. Wearing his engagement ring, he walked hand in hand with Lin Ruanruan on campus, looking very affectionate.
After showing off for a while, Huo Qi finally calmed down. He then realized that his previous act of sending people to follow and protect Lin Ruanruan had been a bit too extreme, and he even apologized to Lin Ruanruan before the matter was over.
The recollection ended there, and Lin Ruanruan couldn't help but look at Huo Qi with amusement, "My brother is such a jealous person."
Huo Qi raised an eyebrow and enveloped Lin Ruanruan's left hand completely with his right hand. "You don't like it anymore?"
"I love it, I love it so much!"
She now knows that Huo Qi is a hidden "green tea" (a manipulative woman), but whenever Huo Qi shows even a little bit of grievance, she still feels incredibly sorry for him.
"You've got me completely under your thumb," Lin Ruanruan complained.
Huo Qi smiled without saying a word, but tightened his grip on Huo Qi's hand.
...
Winter has passed and spring has arrived; it's graduation season again.
Lin Ruanruan, dressed in an academic gown, stood in front of the camera with a bright smile. To her left and right were Fang Lan and Wang Zihao.
Wang Shao, holding his camera, earnestly directed the group, "Stand closer, closer, hey, cheese."
Fang Lan looked at Wang Shao speechlessly, "Could you be any more unsophisticated?"
Wang Shao clicked his tongue, "My skills are so good, and you actually look down on me."
Lin Ruanruan covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched the two bickering. Then, as if remembering something, she looked at Wang Shao and asked, "Wang Shao, are you already doing your internship outside?"
