Chapter 547: Fun
Qiao Yunxue has been busy reviewing recently, but she did not forget Fu Shanzhan's birthday. She just couldn't spend a lot of energy preparing early like she did in the previous two years, so she just booked a gift with the counter staff on WeChat.
Fu Shanzhan likes skiing, and Qiao Yunxue gave him brand new equipment, which she ordered half a month in advance and arrived a few days ago.
Lu Ye said he would have lunch with Professor Wang at noon. Qiao Yunxue wrote down the time and place and left at nine o'clock in the morning.
When Qiao Yunxue left, Fu Shanzhan had already gone to work. The aunt at home was particularly surprised to see her leaving the house: "Madam San Shao, are you going out?"
Qiao Yunxue: "I'm going out to do something. I won't be back at noon, so you don't need to prepare lunch for me."
Auntie: "Okay, okay."
Because she was going to meet Professor Wang, Qiao Yunxue dressed more formally and used the only makeup techniques she had to slightly process her face so that there were no obvious traces and her complexion looked better.
She has been reviewing recently and hasn't been sleeping as much as before. Coupled with morning sickness, her face is inevitably haggard.
After driving out, Qiao Yunxue first went to the counter in the mall to pick up the gift for Fu Shanzhan, and then began to think about what gift to prepare for Professor Wang. She didn't know much about the ways of the world, so she could only call Lu Ye for help.
Lu Ye answered the phone quickly: "Xiaoxue? What's up?"
Qiao Yunxue: "I'm going out now. I'm having lunch with Professor Wang at noon and I want to bring a gift. What do you think is suitable?"
Lu Ye considered it for a moment and said, "Don't give me something too expensive. It's not appropriate, and it might cause people to make a fuss."
Qiao Yunxue had just considered this point. "I think so too, so I'm asking for your opinion."
Lu Ye: "Professor Wang likes oil paintings privately. How about going to the gallery to take a look?"
He paused. "I know a gallery owner in Dashanzi. Are you close to that place?"
Qiao Yunxue: "It'll take about half an hour to drive."
Lu Ye: "Okay, then I'll go over and wait for you. See you in half an hour."
…
After the morning rush hour, the road conditions were very good. Qiao Yunxue drove for half an hour and arrived on time. Lu Ye was waiting for her in the parking lot of the park. As soon as she got off the car, she met Lu Ye.
Lu Ye hadn't seen Qiao Yunxue for a while. Although she was wearing makeup, he could still see her haggard look from the bloodshot eyes.
Lu Ye: "Have you been sleeping poorly recently?"
Qiao Yunxue: "That's it. I'm so sleepy every day."
Lu Ye's gaze shifted to her belly. "I heard pregnant women are very sleepy. If you're sleepy, try getting more sleep."
Qiao Yunxue: "No, I still have to review."
She said this with high morale, showing the determination to never give up until she achieved her goal.
Lu Ye and Qiao Yunxue had known each other since childhood, but this was the first time he saw her like this. He couldn't help but wonder, "Why did you suddenly change your mind about the postgraduate entrance exam?"
Lu Ye had advised Qiao Yunxue many times before, but she always acted as if she didn't care much about it. She even said that taking the postgraduate entrance exam would distract her and she just wanted to spend all her time with Fu Shanzhan. Her various classic love-brained remarks left people speechless.
Although he didn't know the specific reason why Qiao Yunxue changed her mind, Lu Ye could say with certainty that it was most likely because of Fu Shanzhan.
When talking about this issue, Qiao Yunxue couldn't help but think of Lin Muyue, and the expression on her face became a little colder.
She pursed her lips and was about to tell Lu Ye the whole story when she ran into an "acquaintance".
Speak of the devil and he appears. Who else but Lin Muyue is coming towards him?
Qiao Yunxue was not good at pretending, and her expression became even colder when she saw Lin Muyue. She casually grabbed Lu Ye and walked to the other side without intending to talk to Lin Muyue.
"What a coincidence, Miss Qiao." Lin Muyue did not give Qiao Yunxue a chance to dodge and greeted her eagerly.
She had a decent and generous smile on her face, as if she had seen an old friend.
Lu Ye stopped and glanced at Lin Muyue, then looked at Qiao Yunxue's gloomy face, and asked her in a low voice, "Who is this?"
There was a tacit understanding between friends of many years. Looking at Qiao Yunxue's reaction, Lu Ye was certain that she really disliked the woman in front of her.
"I'll tell you later. Let's go first." Qiao Yunxue urged Lu Ye to leave quickly.
"Miss Qiao, is this gentleman your friend?" Lin Muyue's voice rang out again, his gaze fixed on Qiao Yunxue's hand. "I didn't expect Miss Qiao to have such a close friend of the opposite sex. Fu Shanzhan would be so jealous if he saw this."
Qiao Yunxue could no longer bear it, "Ms. Lin, we don't seem to be close enough to joke around."
Lin Muyue was reminded by her, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He continued to smile, "I'm sorry, I thought we were friends after that day."
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet." Lin Muyue's eyes swept over Qiao Yunxue's belly. "Now that you're pregnant, your position as the Young Madam of the Fu family is even more secure. Take good care of the baby."
Qiao Yunxue: "Thank you, I will."
She had learned her lesson this time. She knew Lin Muyue was trying to annoy her, but she didn't let her go. "I also wish Miss Lin to find her destined lover soon."
This will save her from sowing discord here every day and thinking about people she shouldn't be thinking about.
Isn't it just speaking in a sarcastic tone and only saying half of what she means? It's not a difficult skill to learn. She can learn it when she wants to deliberately annoy others.
Qiao Yunxue said this and without waiting for Lin Muyue's response, she pulled Lu Ye away. After they walked out of the parking lot, Lu Ye looked back and made sure that no one was around. Then he asked her, "Who was that woman just now? Does she like Fu Shanzhan?"
Lu Ye deduced this possibility from the conversation between the two of them, especially Lin Muyue's words "The position of the young lady of the Fu family is even more secure", which was both an explicit and implicit satire on Qiao Yunxue's attempt to marry into the Fu family and gain status through her son.
I guess this isn't the first time.
"Her father and my father-in-law are good friends. When they were young, they jokingly arranged a marriage." Qiao Yunxue was a little irritated by Lin Muyue. "So now she's acting like I stole her man and is secretly provoking me and trying to sow discord."
"Has Fu Shanzhan explained it to you? What's his attitude?" Lu Ye felt that this was the key.
Qiao Yunxue: "He doesn't like her. They played together when they were young, but they haven't been in touch since they grew up."
"But my father-in-law likes her very much." Qiao Yunxue took a breath and felt a tightness in her chest when she thought of Fu Qingyun's praise for Lin Muyue.
Lu Ye frowned. He had heard Qiao Yunxue talk about the Fu family many times before. Her mother-in-law sounded easy to get along with, but this rumored Mr. Fu...
After pondering for a few minutes, Lu Ye suddenly thought of something: "So, is this the reason why you suddenly changed your mind and decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"
Qiao Yunxue nodded, "I guess so."
"I wasn't bad to begin with, I just didn't go because I got married. But in other people's eyes, I seem to be incapable of studying." She felt quite aggrieved. "It's just a postgraduate entrance exam, I can do it on my own."
Lu Ye patted her head and encouraged her: "Of course you can. You have the ability. As long as you want, you can choose any school!"
Qiao Yunxue laughed at Lu Ye's comfort, "It's not as exaggerated as you say."
Not far away, behind a big tree, Lin Muyue looked at the two people playing around, with a playful smile on his face.
