The distance between them was less than a centimeter apart now. Si Jingyun could clearly feel her body stiffening and he could not help but laugh. It seemed that she did not have such guts to follow through.
Not too far away, three people could be seen in another car staring at this scene in disbelief.
“Master Jing, aren’t you moving a little bit too quickly?”
“They’re not moving fast enough. They should kiss today and go to the courthouse to get officiated tomorrow!” Xie Shuyao clapped her hands excitedly and spoke without restraint.
Qi Ye saw this and shifted his body to the side, trying his best to stay away from her. “You’re crazy.”
…
Lu Jinqi pushed him away and got out of the car herself.
She did not even give him a glance.
Si Jingyun — who was pushed away — casually leaned back in his car. He bent his long legs and stared at the back view of the angry child. He then let out a low chuckle.
It seemed like he had to coax the little child more the next time they met.
…
“Master Jing, so… How do you feel?” After returning, Qi Ye winked at Si Jingyun.
Si Jingyun furrowed his brows. “What do you mean how do I feel?”
“How did you feel when you kissed the young lady!” Xie Shuyao pushed Qi Ye away and moved closer to him. Her eyes were glowing. She could not help gossip.
This was the first time Jingyun had experienced them eliciting such a reaction. He would have never expected them to react like this.
Si Jingyun’s expression was cold. “You guys are so good at brainstorming crazy ideas. Should you all just be writers instead as your profession?”
The two of them laughed. “No, there’s really no need.”
Seeing that the two of them were defeated, Xie Lingchuan walked over and sat down with a smile on his face.
‘F*ck, I guess I’ll have to step in to stop this gossiping.’
Seeing him move, Xie Shuyao’s eyes sparkled and she winked at him.
However, Xie Lingchuan acted as if he did not see her. He even gloated over her misfortune. “I think Master Jing is right. The two of you are indeed quite suitable for the publishing industry.”
“Haha, very funny.” Qi Ye glanced at him and said faintly.
Xie Lingchuan smiled and looked at the other person seriously. “Do you know how dangerous it was for you today?”
Being questioned by him, Xie Shuyao lowered her head guiltily. “I didn’t expect this to happen either.”
“Then tell me what were you thinking of doing such things!” Xie Lingchuan looked at her furiously.
Xie Shuyao’s small face fell and she remained silent.
Qi Ye saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over. He changed the topic, “Alright, what do you plan to do about this matter?”
Xie Lingchuan said unhurriedly, “I heard that the Gu family is mobilizing a large amount of liquid funds to bid for a project. Since Gu Yichen doesn’t have the funds, this project might just go down the drain.”
“The Gu family has been scammed by Gu Yichen.” Qi Ye pretended to shake his head.
Si Jingyun crossed his legs with a cigarette in his mouth and said lazily, “Give that project to the Gu family.”
Hearing this, the two of them looked at him in confusion.
“There’s something wrong with the project. The Gu family won’t be able to handle it.” Si Jingyun put out the cigarette and said in an extremely indifferent voice.
Xie Lingchuan and Qi Ye never doubted Si Jingyun’s words. Since he said so, then there must be something wrong with the project.
Xie Shuyao sat at the side, drowsy, but she forced herself to stay awake.
“Shuyao, you should go home tomorrow.” Xie Lingchuan was still side-eyeing her as he spoke lightly.
His words scared Xie Shuyao so much that she dared not to fall back asleep.
She rolled her eyes at Xie Lingchuan. “I’m not going back. I want to go to that pretty lady’s school.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
Two different answers were shared.
Xie Lingchuan was stunned. “Master Jing, you know how capable she is of causing trouble. If she really goes, she’ll probably be in a lot of trouble in the future.”

Xie Shuyao saw how he was slandering her, so she reached out and pinched his arm. Then, she made a funny face. “Anyway, I’m going to report this tomorrow.”
After saying that, she ran away happily.
…
The next day.
Cheng Xin appeared in the classroom with a girl. She placed her folders onto the podium as she spoke to garner her students’ attention. “There’s a new student in our class today. Welcome her well.”
Everyone subconsciously turned to look at Lu Jinqi, then at the girl on the podium. Recently, it seems to be popular for beautiful girls to transfer schools.
Xie Shuyao came in and saw the person she wanted to see. She playfully blinked her eyes. “Hello, everyone. My name is Xie Shuyao. I’ll be studying with everyone here from now on.”
Xiao Yao had already been suspicious of her when he saw her. Now that he heard her name, he knew that his guess was correct. However, why would someone from the Xie family come here?
“Teacher, can I sit with her?” Xie Shuyao pointed to the back and spoke first.
Cheng Xin looked over and saw an exquisite face. She could not help but worryingly shift her eyes.
“I refuse.” Xiao Yao placed his hands on the table casually. Without giving the new student a chance, he outright rejected her.
Xie Shuyao was not angry at being rejected. Her fair and tender face smiled, and two dimples appeared on her face. It made people want to poke them.
“You can sit next to Wen Yu.” Cheng Xin measured her height and chose a seat according to the situation.
Xie Shuyao’s eyes brightened when she saw the placement of the seat. It was in front of the young lady! She happily walked over and placed herself on her designated seat.
With that thought in mind, she walked over with light steps.
“Why do I feel like there’s something wrong with the way this newcomer looks at Jinqi?” Wen Yu accidentally blurted out.
“Right? Doesn’t it feel like she has an underlying intention that just feels… not right?” Xiao Yao nodded in agreement.
On the other hand, Lu Jinqi looked calm and did not spare anyone a glance.
“Hello pretty lady, we meet again.” As soon as she sat down, Xie Shuyao impatiently went over to greet her.
Lu Jinqi frowned when someone suddenly leaned over. She changed her position and lazily leaned back on the chair. When she saw the girl, Lu Jinqi suddenly thought of that flirtatious man.
“Xie Shuyao, why are you here?” Xiao Yao reached out and shook her head, trying to push her away.
Xie Shuyao rolled her eyes at the gesture, her eyes sparkled as she stared at Lu Jinqi with admiration in her eyes. “I came to look for you…”
Xiao Yao said, “Jinqi, you know her?”
Lu Jinqi’s eyes were unreadable. Then, the corners of her lips curled into a faint smile. “I don’t know her.”
“…”
Xie Shuyao looked at her in dismay.
“Then why does she look like she’s just been abandoned by you?” Xiao Yao pointed at her with a face full of disbelief.
Lu Jinqi replied casually, “She was just cheated on. Isn’t that the same as being abandoned?”
After saying that, Xie Shuyao’s head hit the table.
“Let’s not talk about that, we can still have a friendly conversation, right?”
Xiao Yao clicked his tongue. “Even someone like you got dumped? Harsh.”
“Go away,” she snapped. Then, she looked at Lu Jinqi with a gentle tone. “Pretty lady, what’s your name?”
Xiao Yao was speechless. Was this double standard too obvious? Did he not deserve to be treated with respect?
“Wow!”
Wen Yu accidentally laughed out loud. Yet another ruthless person who jabbed harder at Xiao Yao’s ego.
“Lu Jinqi.”

“Qiqi, why are you staying at a hotel instead of staying at home?” Xie Shuyao thought back to the two times she saw Lu Jinqi at the hotel. She asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Hearing this, Lu Jinqi was stunned. Before she was reborn, or changed her life around, someone had said this to her as well.
She remembered that every time she stayed in that old man’s residence, he would always say, “Why do you come to my place every day? Why don’t you go home?”
“Jinqi, what’s wrong?” Seeing that she did not respond, Xiao Yao waved his hand in front of her.
Lu Jinqi snapped out of her thoughts and pressed her temples lightly. “Nothing.”
