The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Qiao Mu was stunned. Li Yan had not ntioned that to her.

He was not her uncle, surely he was not interested in her matters, right?

Qiao Mu lowered her gaze and smiled nonchalantly, “My family mbers have already lectured . Thank you, senior,?for your help at the ti!”

The two of them were chatting when Yao Shu ran over, “What boyfriend? Mu Mu, senior, what are you two talking about? Both of you look so happy!”

Han Su glanced at Yao Shu and then asked Qiao Mu, “Is this your classmate?”

Qiao Mu nodded, “Senior, she’s Yao Shu,”

Yao Shu was relatively reserved, so Qiao Mu thought that she knew Han Su when she nonchalantly interrupted their conversation.

Yao Shu was very puzzled when she asked, “Senior, why does your voice sound a little different? What’s wrong with your throat?”

Han Su was confused, “I’m sorry I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

Yao Shu smiled as she gestured with her hand, “It’s alright. Senior, don’t be so cold!”

Han Su shifted his gaze away from Yao Shu. He bade goodbye to Qiao Mu before he left.

Yao Shu watched Han Su leave, her gaze was sowhat filled with disappointnt. She then dragged Qiao Mu back to the dorm, and all she talked about was Han Su.

Qiao Mu felt there was sothing wrong with Yao Shu. Qiao Mu would have thought that Yao Shu liked Han Su if Qiao Mu did not know that Yao Shu was already in a relationship, and that her boyfriend could not be Han Su.

“Mu Mu, you seem like you’re really in need of money recently. Do you need to lend you so?” Yao Shu asked.

“It’s alright. I can still handle it.”

Qiao Mu did not like to be in the debt of another. She could not just go around and borrow money. Yao Shu was different from Chi Xia. She did not know this woman well enough to comfortably discuss financial matters with her.

…..

Chi Xia was talking on the phone when Qiao Mu returned to the dorm. Chi Xia only hung up her phone after a while.

Qiao Mu teased, “You can’t seem to stop smiling after you made an overseas call to Gu Cheng.”

Chi Xia rolled her eyes at Qiao Mu, “We’re maintaining a long-distance relationship now. It’s so hard to even make a phone call, and you’re still teasing !”

Gu Cheng was Chi Xia’s boyfriend, and he was currently studying abroad. The two of them got together back in high school. Qiao Mu had witnessed the start of their relationship — of course she knew how strong their relationship was.

After that, Gu Cheng did not attend local university, but chose to study abroad. When Chi Xia learned about his decision, she had not made a scene over it. Although she was really reluctant to part with him, she did not hold him back.

At that ti, Chi Xia had said very calmly, “Just leave, I’ll wait for you. If we break up midway, it only ans that our love’s not strong enough! If we’re still in love when you return, let’s just directly get married!”

Chi Xia was really calm and pragmatic sotis. Her rational treatnt of her romance was further evidence.

Qiao Mu did not know if four years’ ti would change both of them — she only knew that the relationship between Li Yan and her had changed completely after ten years.

Big brother…

Once, soone had treated her as treasure.

But that was in the past.

Qiao Mu rembered when she was younger, Qiao Ya would always compare and fight over everything with her, including Li Yan’s presence.

At that ti, Qiao Mu was extrely close with Li Yan. She always trailed behind Li Yan, but Li Yan who was always cold and aloof did not reject her.

Qiao Ya had been jealous and barked at Qiao Mu, “Qiao Mu, you better don’t think he’s your biological uncle. Rember, you’re just an outsider! He’s my biological uncle!”

In the face of Qiao Ya’s anger, Qiao Mu only flashed an innocent smile. “I know he’s not my uncle, he’s my big brother.”

Then Qiao Ya would complain angrily to Li Yan, “Uncle, look at Qiao Mu! Her skin’s thicker than a tree bark! It’s so annoying that she’s always bothering you!”

But Li Yan replied disapprovingly, “Just don’t stare at her if you think she’s annoying. Qiao Ya, you’re always bullying your own younger sister. Don’t you think that you’re being silly?”

Qiao Ya ran away crying, while Qiao Mu laughed happily.
