The first but unofficial encounter between Jiang Li and Bai Qing happened also on the sa day, at the sa place.
It was when the girl chased after Zhu Li and Xia Xinyue only to pause halfway when she caught sight of a charismatic, aloof, but handso man whose commanding aura differentiates him from the rest of the n she had encountered before.
The spotlessly clean-shaven face and soul-stealing brown upturned eyes made the female lead gaze at him like she had fallen in love at first sight. She couldn't help but blink her eyes at the good-looking senior whose masculine elegance didn't lessen even though he was only sipping a regular To-Go coffee.
If only the female lead was aware that the person she just gawked at had gloriously planned her downfall and death a while ago.
Unfortunately, she had no way of knowing, hence she continued looking at him for a few more seconds like a complete fool.
Unwillingness flashed across her eyes when she saw the senior and a professor leaving their seats and walking away.
But she felt a jolt in her heart when the guy frowned and turned his head to her direction as if her staring had irked sothing in him or alerted his senses. Their eyes t for a brief second. But that little span of ti was enough for her to engrave his figure in the back of her mind.
"Who is he?" she subconsciously asked, still gazing at the back of the man in a white button-up shirt.
A friend ca to her side and saw where her eyes were glued. This newcor didn't see the spectacle at the dormitory earlier.
Concerned, the girl hugging a few books asked, "Bai Qing. You keep staring in their direction. Do you know Senior Jiang?"
"Senior Jiang?"
This friend of the campus belle had more knowledge of the business world than Bai Qing, so she explained,
"Yup. Jiang Li is his na. He's an alumnus of our university, the summa cum laude of his batch. If I rember correctly, Senior Jiang Li graduated two years ago. He's now a prominent figure in the corporate world, the Chief Operating Officer of his family's company which deals with electronics and semiconductors."
Bai Qing widened her eyes at her friend, shocked. The man looked so young. Yet was already a high executive?
After digesting what she heard, her eyes shone brightly.
The man who just caught her fancy was actually so good. No other n seed to be on par with him.
Bai Qing knew she was being ridiculous for coming up with this conclusion without truly knowing him. But she trusts in her intuition which had done quite a number of good things for her father's business.
The man was definitely the one destined for her! She was sure of it!
Not long after, the woman's thoughts shifted to how she would get close to this appealing and rich guy.
...
From afar, Bai Qing didn't know that the two people she was supposed to chase looked back to her and saw her eyes shining like she just saw a diamond.
When they followed the female lead's gaze, one of them raised a brow while the other stared blankly at the man's back.
The one whose left brow rose up was Xia Xinyue. As a mber of a learned family, she recognized who that guy in a white button-up shirt and black pants was.
While Xia Xinyue was puzzled why a personage of his caliber visited a place like this, what was more ridiculous in her eyes was that their two-faced campus belle seed to have taken a liking of soone out of her reach.
'Look at this white lotus...'
anwhile, Zhu Li's beautiful eyes didn't leave the man's back until he disappeared into the Faculty's direction.
She thought this man must have so business with Professor Hao. Before she graduated, his closeness with the infamous professor spread all over the campus, so she was not surprised that he ca to this university.
But actually, the glamorous woman did not give much thoughts about his appearance here.
As Xia Xinyue clicked and laughed at Bai Qing's epic face, Zhu Li smiled and looked up to the skies.
She felt thankful.
It seed she had now moved on.
