Qiao Ran's body stiffened and he lowered his head even lower.
From the corner of her eye, she could see that the boy was not far away from her, separated only by the steamer basket and the rising steam from the bun stall.
He was dressed cleanly and brightly. His new and expensive clothes had few wrinkles, which looked out of place in this small place with heavy oil stains on the ground.
Unlike her, the thin clothes she wore under her work clothes even had a few inconspicuous patches on them.
She had been malnourished for a long time, and not only was she very thin, she was also much shorter than her peers.
Clothes I wore many years ago can still fit me now.
So after patching it up, I can wear it for another year.
The world seemed to have become much quieter, so quiet that I could clearly hear everything happening around me.
The bustling city is crowded with people, birds are singing on the branches, and the sun is bright and dazzling.
The sound of car horns in the distance was loud and annoying, but what annoyed her most was the person in front of her.
The young man was tall and slender, and his outstanding height made him stand out in the crowd.
In the dim morning light, the silhouette facing the light was coated with a layer of gold, like the ancient Greek sun god Apollo, handsome and extraordinary.
He Sui swept the flour on the bun stall with one hand, then bent down slightly and supported himself on the table, with a cold yet meaningful smile on his lips.
"Why don't you continue? Didn't you say you didn't look well? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
It was very stuffy with the mask on, and Qiao Ran felt that his breath was hot.
A suffocating feeling surrounded her.
What excuse could she use to get away with it?
My heart is in turmoil and I can't help but think about all sorts of things.
He should just be asking casually and showing some concern, right?
She had seen many young masters like him in the Qiao family in Beijing before.
Thanks to Qiao Tianai, due to her poor health, the Qiao family often held various high-class banquets in their manor, allowing her to see the world as a servant.
Of course, she needs to wear a veil.
Because she looks too similar to Qiao Tianai.
Those young masters with prominent family backgrounds are all idle and playboys. As long as there is a woman they are interested in, they will come to them as soon as they beckon her.
I wish I could give a home to all the girls in the world.
What's more, he already has someone he likes.
How could he possibly notice such an insignificant girl?
She must have been overthinking it.
She never dreamed of being Cinderella, nor did she ever imagine that this ugly duckling of hers would one day turn into a white swan.
Don't scare yourself, Qiao Ran.
You are almost fully armed now, you will definitely not be recognized!
"Who are you, young man? Are you a friend of Xiao Qiao's?"
The aunt next to him was very kind-hearted. When she saw the boy up close, she smiled so hard that she couldn't stop. She completely forgot about Qiao Ran who had just complained of having a stomachache.
Qiao Ran was startled and his pupils dilated.
She forgot that she wasn't alone now!
This is not her first day working part-time here, and many of the elderly people around here know her!
If He Sui randomly asked someone her name now, and then sent someone to investigate after returning, the Qiao family's secret would no longer be hidden.
Once her identity as an illegitimate daughter is exposed, the freedom she currently possesses will be taken away...
No, it can't be discovered.
She hastened to deny it.
How could she be friends with the devil!
"No, Auntie, the Big Devil and I are not..."
He stopped talking mid-sentence.
Oops……
She was so anxious that she let the cat out of the bag!
Only the students of No. 1 Middle School knew that he was the big devil.
Qiao covered his mouth belatedly, but it was too late.
He Sui curled his lips and smiled, his beautiful fox eyes full of brilliance.
He had only set a small trap, but he hadn't expected her to fall for it so easily.
It seems that getting her to talk is much easier than I thought.
When it comes to acting, He Sui and He Yuning have a talent that is inherited from the same blood, and they can scare people without blushing or getting breathless.
Even Mr. He didn't realize that the young boy he had raised by his side for many years was a wolf cub, let alone the inexperienced Qiao Ran.
He Sui smiled, and that smile was really beautiful.
"Yes, Auntie, we are friends. Qiao Ran should be well taken care of by you here, right? Sorry for the trouble."
The boy had a deep and pleasant voice, and he was so modest and polite that the aunt's liking for him grew rapidly.
I thought the outstanding young man in front of me was Qiao Ran's suitor, and I was worried about Qiao Ran's hardship, so I wanted to say more good things for her.
"Fortunately, Qiao Ran is a very well-behaved child! He is capable and hardworking, and he is not afraid of any dirty or tiring work. Such sensible children are rare. If you marry him home, you will definitely enjoy a happy life! And, she..."
The aunt was still chattering to He Sui about Qiao Ran's good points, and He Sui nodded in agreement.
When it comes to acting, of course you have to do it in full.
Qiao Ran felt a chill in his heart, and he dug his palms tightly with his nails, as if he couldn't even feel the pain.
At this moment, she could no longer deceive herself with any reason.
He knew.
He knew she was Qiao Ran.
Does he know his identity?
His coming today was not a coincidence, but was for her.
When did she become exposed?
Qiao Ran recalled the several chance encounters with He Sui, but she didn't remember any communication with him.
Besides, the name Qiao Ran doesn't mean anything.
There are so many people with the surname Qiao in this world.
