Su Xiaofeng was not a woman to stay content in obscurity.
But one could understand, for a woman from the countryside striving to survive in the Imperial Capital, of course she would need strong backing.
The young master of the Gu Family lay in bed, unable to wake up, and there was always the possibility that he might die at any mont.
Once the young master passed away, the Gu Family would certainly not tolerate a child who had helped soone else bear children to remain in the Gu Family.
So it goes without saying, Su Xiaofeng was making arrangents for her own future.
If the Gu Family were to reject her, her days in the Imperial Capital would undoubtedly be difficult. Knowing what kind of family the Gu Family was, other families would dare not associate with soone cast out by the Gu Family.
The Dragon King was different though.
The Dragon King was not like those so-called great families; he was a prominent figure in the underworld. Even the people from those great families, upon hearing his na, would feel intimidated.
At this ti, Su Xiaofeng wanting to connect with the Dragon King was certainly planning for her future.
Tsk tsk, who would have thought a woman who grew up in the countryside could be so scheming and tactful.
She smiled lightly, suggesting, "Dragon Lord, it’s not suitable for you to take the Young Madam ho. Let take her."
If Su Xiaofeng wanted to pretend, she’d indulge her fully.
Xiaofeng smiled at her, "Then I’ll trouble you."
...
She had just returned ho when she received a call from Xiaoyan, saying Xiaonian and Shuiling had quarreled and hadn’t co back yet. He asked if Xiaonian had co to her place.
"They quarreled?" Xiaofeng furrowed her brows. These two, when in good spirits, were like the sa person. If they really turned on each other, they flipped faster than flipping a book.
"The two had a spat after school for so reason. Shuiling said Xiaonian had taken her backpack and gone ho, and believing she was angry, didn’t follow her."
"So you’re saying Xiaonian hasn’t co ho since school let out until now."
"I thought she and Shuiling went out together, so I wasn’t paying attention. But now that it’s so late and she still hasn’t returned, I called Shuiling, only to find out they’d quarreled after school and were not together. Sister, our parents don’t even know about this. I thought she might have gone to your place, so I contacted you first."
Xiaoyan was the family’s academic star, never needing to worry about things here. In contrast, Xiaonian was tomboyish, carefree, and not that enthusiastic about school.
"She hasn’t co here. Where are you now? Let’s call Shuiling and look for her together. It’s already past nine, where could she have gone?"
"Okay, I’ll call Shuiling."
After connecting with Shuiling, Shuiling was regretful to death, "I shouldn’t have quarreled with her. She likes a boy in our class and wanted to pursue him. I don’t like that boy because he likes to joke around with the girls in the class, and such a man will certainly be flirtatious in the future. Then she said I shouldn’t interfere with her affairs, who she likes is her business, nothing to do with . I was also furious at the mont and said I wanted to break off our friendship. She said if it’s breaking off, then it’s breaking off, and then we both stord off in different directions."
"Sis, that boy is really not a good person. I tried to warn her but she wouldn’t listen. I was really angry at the ti. I didn’t really want to break off our friendship, just said it in a fit of anger."
"Think back, which direction did she go? Was she with anyone?" Xiaonian was missing. Now was not the ti to discuss who was right or wrong, they needed to know where she was.
Shuiling recalled earnestly, "She went to the left of the school, yes, she took a bus ho. I saw her get on the bus and walked off furiously myself." Sotis they didn’t let their family send a car to pick them up, preferring to walk or take the bus ho.
"Where does she usually go when she’s upset?"
Suddenly, Shuiling rembered sothing, "Xiaonian said she was going to invite him to a movie tonight. Could they have gone to watch a movie?"
That Xiaonian, always coming up with new plots.
"Let’s go check the cinema."
...
At the entrance of the cinema, Xiaonian stood shyly in front of a young boy, her cheeks blushing, "Feng Lin, which university do you want to attend in the future?"
Feng Lin, hands in his pockets, had an air of youthful arrogance, "I plan to apply to the best university in the country. What about you?"
"Whichever university you apply to, I’ll apply there too. How about we go to university together?"
"I’m afraid your grades might not be good enough. To get into the best university in the country, your performance has to be outstanding. Given your grades, you definitely won’t make it." The young man’s tone carried a hint of mockery.
