Chapter 402: Selecting the Most Beautiful Boy
After leaving the house, I asked Xiao Shiqiu, "Do you think Lu Yuanqing's acquaintance with Deng Sisi was a coincidence or intentional?"
"I never believed there could be so many coincidences, but I can't figure out why Lu Yuanqing is always staring at you. He said he wanted to pursue you, but I don't see him making any moves.
If he's afraid of me, he hasn't given up on trying various ways to get closer to you." Xiao Shiqiu pinched his brow, looking like he had a headache.
"Could it be that since he saw no chance of pursuing me, he has set his sights on Deng Sisi? Playing the role of a substitute in literature? That shouldn't be the case."
Deng Sisi and I do have some similarities, but I look cuter, while she has a more oval face and looks more pretty.
"Can't you find anything more about Lu Yuanqing's background?" I still felt unwilling to accept it, and always felt that it was not that simple.
"I found out that he was adopted from an orphanage by Lu Hongsheng when he was young. But the orphanage caught fire two years ago, and all the records from that time were burned. Now that it's been rebuilt, the staff has been replaced."
Fire? I said excitedly, "Isn't the fire suspicious? Maybe Lu Yuanqing set the fire because he was afraid his information would be discovered!"
I feel like I've found the truth.
"Lu Yuanqing only returned to China last year, and the fire investigation report indicated that the fire was caused by aging electrical wiring. I asked a professional to look at it, but they couldn't find any suspicious points."
Well, we’re at a dead end again.
"Then what should we do now? I always feel like someone is watching me." I leaned into his arms.
He soothed her, "Look at it in a positive light. Maybe he really just has a crush on you and is trying to woo you in all sorts of ways."
I poked him with my finger, "So you have to love me twice as much to prevent someone from poaching me.
To know that someone is willing to pay such a price for me and use a roundabout way to get close to me is quite touching."
He said seriously, "That's right, I have to keep a closer eye on you. I'm considering whether to give Xiaoyan another raise..."
I deliberately said in a coquettish voice, "A pretty and cute girl like me will be noticed wherever I go."
He looked at me with deep eyes, then suddenly smiled and whispered, "When you were upstairs, your father told me a lot about your childhood."
I suddenly became alert, sat up straight and asked him, "What did my dad say?"
He chuckled, "He told me about the school's most beautiful boy contest when you were in elementary school."
I was so embarrassed. My dad was an unreliable guy. He only participated in a few things during my entire school years.
He caught up with me during the most embarrassing time in elementary school, and I have been teased by him countless times over the years.
When I was in the third grade, the school held an election for the most beautiful boy. As a good student, I of course actively participated.
My homeroom teacher asked me to submit a photo to be put on the candidate list to be posted in the school corridor. I went home excitedly and carefully selected my favorite photo and gave it to my homeroom teacher.
The next day, my artistic photo of myself wearing a ballet skirt and heavy makeup was exhibited together with photos of other classmates helping their parents with housework, helping their grandmothers with farm work, and delivering stationery to poor children.
I am indeed the most beautiful one.
Then he successfully became the most conceited boy in the school among his classmates.
Because of this dark history, my parents laughed at me for several years. Then, for several years in a row, they would bring it out every holiday to make the whole family happy.
Seeing that he was almost hurt from trying to hold back his laughter, I said expressionlessly, "You sleep in the study tonight."
