Chapter 67.
In the activity room with a very casual decoration, Qu Xueer looked at Xu Baiqing who had returned, glanced at the door where no one was, put down her phone, supported her chin with her hand, and looked at her seriously.
"Is there something wrong with me?" Xu Baiqing felt uncomfortable being stared at by Qu Xueer. He thought there was something wrong with himself, so he quickly looked down and asked.
"Nothing," Qu Xueer shook her head and asked, "Is the matter outside resolved?"
"Yeah," Xu Baiqing nodded, but said somewhat speechlessly, "Why won't Mu Zexuan give up?"
"Compared to our family, the Mu family is relatively simple. Although you should know after the birthday banquet that there are some undercurrents in the Mu family, Mu Zexuan's position is still very stable, so he has never suffered any setbacks since he was a child. Your rejection of him may make him want to conquer him even more." Qu Xueer explained.
"But I can't just go along with him and agree to him." Xu Baiqing was really at a loss. If he went against Mu Zexuan, it would make him feel novel, but if he went along with him, he would have to agree to his pursuit.
"That's true." Qu Xueer nodded. Although if she went along with Mu Zexuan, he might lose interest in her soon, but Mu Zexuan wanted to be with Xu Baiqing now. Xu Baiqing liked Qian Yirong and would never agree to him.
"And Xue'er, you also know the situation in my family..." Xu Baiqing hesitated to speak.
Qu Xueer immediately understood what she meant. Indeed, Xu Baiqing's family was eager for her to hook up with Mu Zexuan. If they knew that Xu Baiqing wanted to draw a clear line between herself and Mu Zexuan, they would probably take turns to try to make Xu Baiqing change his mind.
"You've worked hard too." Qu Xueer sympathized. Although she was not valued much, at least she would not be forced to get close to people she didn't like.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things. I'm going to find Rongrong tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?" Xu Baiqing asked.
Upon hearing this, Qu Xueer looked at Xu Baiqing, who had only said it politely and obviously wanted her to refuse. She took advantage of Xu Baiqing's inattention to give her a mischievous smile, but then put away the smile when Xu Baiqing was about to see it.
"I don't have anything to do tomorrow, it seems..." Qu Xueer acted as if she was about to agree.
Xu Baiqing controlled herself and looked at Qu Xueer in surprise. Based on her understanding of Qu Xueer, she knew that she would go to see Chang Xian in her free time. Why would she suddenly agree to be serious about Qian Yirong?
"...But I have an appointment with Sister Xian. Let's go together to play with Sister Rongrong if there is a chance." Qu Xueer said, changing the tone.
Xu Baiqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he saw the knowing smile on Qu Xueer's face. He immediately realized that he had been fooled by her. His face turned red, and he pounced on Qu Xueer.
"Okay, you actually played a trick on me." Xu Baiqing said while tickling Qu Xueer's spots.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me, Sister Bai Qing." Qu Xueer laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe, and she could only form a complete sentence to beg for mercy.
"Hmph." Xu Baiqing vented his anger and let her go.
"...Sister Baiqing, how are things going between you and Sister Rongrong recently?" Qu Xueer took a deep breath and leaned closer to Xu Baiqing and asked.
"I don't know how to describe it," Xu Baiqing said hesitantly, "It seems to be closer, but it seems like something is still missing."
Xu Baiqing takes this relationship very seriously, and she has no one else to discuss it with. Now Qu Xueer, who also has a secret, gives her a chance to confide in her.
"I think Sister Rongrong actually likes you too." Qu Xueer said.
"Really?" Xu Baiqing's eyes lit up and he asked impatiently.
"Maybe you are confused because you are involved in the matter. It seems to me that Sister Rongrong treats you very specially..." Qu Xueer told Xu Baiqing some of the things she had observed.
The more Xu Baiqing listened, the more she felt that Qu Xueer was right. Perhaps it was because she was in the middle of the situation that she didn't realize that Qian Yirong was special to her. Perhaps she could find a way to take things further with Qian Yirong, so that she could change their relationship as soon as possible.
"Then can I confess to her?" Xu Baiqing asked for advice.
"Well..." Qu Xueer hesitated. Although in her opinion Qian Yirong was special and indulgent enough towards Xu Baiqing, she was not sure what the final result would be if Xu Baiqing suddenly and radically wanted Qian Yirong to confess his love to her.
Xu Baiqing paused when she saw Qu Xueer's hesitation. She knew that she was anxious, but it was also because the time she spent with Qian Yirong was greatly reduced. Although because of Qian Yirong's indulgence, she even knew Qian Yirong's itinerary.
But Xu Baiqing had no way of knowing who she would meet or what she would encounter. If someone started fighting and scrambling during this period, she was worried that someone would come from behind and take the lead.
"I understand. I will consider it carefully." Xu Baiqing said.
"It's good that you know this, but there's no need to be so anxious. I've never seen Sister Rongrong treat other people the same way as you, so it's better to take it step by step." Qu Xueer advised.
Now her relationship with Xu Baiqing has improved. If Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing fall out, she will be caught in the middle. Thinking of this, Qu Xueer can almost imagine how embarrassed she will be at that time.
Perhaps Xu Baiqing's words worked, and Mu Zexuan didn't look for Xu Baiqing again after that. However, he didn't appear in the classroom either. No one knew what he was doing. However, Xu Baiqing was not interested in his affairs and did not pursue the matter.
The classes of the day were over very quickly, and Xu Baiqing's mood became excited. She would be able to see Qian Yirong tomorrow. What should she do with her? Should she stay at home and rest, or go out and play? She really wanted tomorrow to come quickly.
Xu Baiqing left the school briskly and got on the car that was taking her back to the Qian family. In a corner that she didn't notice, Mu Zexuan watched her brisk back as she left. He thought, "I will let you see my changes."
After returning to the Qian family, as expected, Xu Baiqing received some more inquiries about her relationship with Mu Zexuan. She skillfully fooled them and took the opportunity to say that she was going out tomorrow. After knowing that she was not with Mu Zexuan, the Qian family lost interest in asking further questions.
She just continued to mention in person that she wanted to maintain a good relationship with Mu Zexuan. Xu Baiqing agreed obediently, but couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart. If she really wanted to get involved with Mu Zexuan so much, she could do it herself. What's the point of telling her?
However, Xu Baiqing did not refute, because she knew that if she showed any signs of resistance, she would lose her current freedom and would definitely be interfered with. Only by behaving well and obedient could the Qian family let her go.
Nothing happened that night. Xu Baiqing left the Qian family early the next morning. On the way, she bought breakfast and came to Qian Yirong's new place, which was closer to the company. Of course, she had also obtained the key to this place from Qian Yirong before.
Unlike the previous flat, this is a detached villa with two floors and a small garden. Qian Yirong usually lives on the second floor, and a room is reserved for her on the second floor.
Xu Baiqing took out the key and opened the door. The villa was cleaned very cleanly. Xu Baiqing put the breakfast she had bought on the dining table. She didn't want to disturb Qian Yirong's sleep. After all, she knew how busy she was from Qian Yirong's schedule.
She went to the study to find a book on economics to pass the time, and then waited for Qian Yirong to come down on the sofa in the hall. After all, the sofa in the hall could be the first place to notice any movement on the stairs, and if Qian Yirong came down, she would be able to notice it first.
For a moment, the only sound in the hall was the slight sound of turning pages. Not long after, Xu Baiqing heard footsteps. He immediately put the book on the coffee table beside him and looked towards the stairs with burning eyes.
Perhaps because it was her day off, Qian Yirong did not change her clothes and was still in her pajamas. Her eyes were not as clear as usual, and she was so sleepy from just waking up that she didn't even notice that there was a person sitting on the sofa in the hall.
Qian Yirong came to the kitchen downstairs to get some water. She had just woken up, and because it was a long-awaited day off, she was not completely awake. She just controlled herself and moved around in a familiar place.
"...Rongrong." A familiar voice sounded faintly, with a hint of resentment of being ignored.
"Bai Qing? When did you come?" Qian Yirong followed the voice and saw Xu Baiqing sitting on the sofa in the hall. She was alerted and asked subconsciously.
"You haven't forgotten the agreement with me, have you?" Xu Baiqing said with a wronged look on his face.
"Of course not," Qian Yirong reacted and quickly approached Xu Baiqing and said, "I was confused in my sleep and didn't react. Of course I remember the agreement with you."
"Did I disturb you?" Xu Baiqing felt distressed when she saw the dark circles under Qian Yirong's eyes and the tiredness on her face. It seemed that she shouldn't have come to disturb Qian Yirong on her hard-earned day off.
"Why bother you?" Qian Yirong noticed that Xu Baiqing was not in a good state and quickly said, "I want to meet you too."
The expression on Qian Yirong's face was genuine, and Xu Baiqing was immediately coaxed by her. He quickly pulled Qian Yirong to the dining table and said, "I bought some breakfast when I came here. Do you want some?"
"Is this still a little?" Qian Yirong looked at the various breakfasts on the table and suspected that Xu Baiqing had bought breakfast from all the nearby breakfast shops.
"I just want to make the breakfast richer so Rongrong can have more choices." Xu Baiqing looked at the breakfast that really couldn't be described as "good enough" and said while touching the tip of his nose.
"You came here so early, you probably haven't had breakfast yet, right?" Qian Yirong asked a question, but her tone was affirmative.
Xu Baiqing nodded embarrassedly, and the two of them had a rich and warm breakfast. Xu Baiqing also had ideas about the next period of time. Qian Yirong was so tired, so he didn't want to go out. It would be a good choice to accompany her at home to have a good rest.
