Chapter 38: Chapter 38: I’m Still Chasing
Chu Mufan cleared his throat, “Qianqian, don’t talk nonsense. What pursuit? We just had a good relationship as classmates… and I only expressed my feelings because I was afraid I wouldn’t see her after graduation, that’s all…”
Although Chu Mufan said this, his gaze was fixed on Qi Yue, as if he wanted to see her reaction.
Qi Yue frowned slightly, as Xue ngqian suddenly brought up this matter. It seed like she was suggesting that Chu Mufan was deliberately avoiding her and not contacting her because of her confession.
However, Qi Yue had nothing to hide about what she had done and openly spoke, “Yeah, I had feelings back then and did confess.”
Xue ngqian glared at Chu Mufan in a coquettish manner, complaining, “You, always provoking girls…”
Chu Mufan looked helpless, “That was a long ti ago.”
“Of course, if you dare now, see how I deal with you!”
Xue ngqian humd, her threat sounding more like cooing. Such a girl, indeed, n could not refuse.
Xue ngqian complained to Qi Yue, “Miss Qi, you don’t know. I’m under a lot of pressure being with him. He’s especially popular with girls. Last month, a girl called him drunk in the middle of the night from overseas, saying she couldn’t forget him… Now that I’m back in the country, I guess there will be more of these incidents…”
Chu Mufan was handso and ca from a good family, which made him quite popular back in school.
However, this girl blurted these words out to her… Even if Qi Yue was slow, she could sense the overt and covert warnings.
The subtext was for her not to be like those other won, pining over Chu Mufan…
Chu Mufan cleared his throat, seemingly displeased, “Qianqian, why are you saying this?”
Xue ngqian realized Chu Mufan was not pleased and imdiately stopped, “Okay, okay! I won’t expose your past anymore! Let’s talk about Miss Qi! Miss Qi, I heard you study at A University! That’s amazing! I couldn’t manage that, my grades were too poor, so I had to study abroad…
By the way, what’s your major? Mufan and I studied finance abroad, and we’ve already started interning at a securities company!”
Qi Yue had no desire to interact with these two, watching the door to see when Gu Huai would return, while casually replying, “Agriculture.”
Upon hearing this, Xue ngqian’s expression turned sowhat indescribable, “Agriculture? Really… Why would a girl choose that major? Isn’t it very tough?”
Qi Yue: “…”
You really interfere too much…
Qi Yue said nothing, raising her eyes to glance at Chu Mufan.
That look was evident; her patience was nearly exhausted. Can’t you control her? If not, don’t bla if I stop being polite.
Although it had been many years since they last t, Chu Mufan still understood Qi Yue’s temperant. She usually had a good temper, but don’t provoke her, because once angered, she wouldn’t spare anyone’s dignity.
Chu Mufan quickly grabbed Xue ngqian, “Enough, stop asking all these questions!”
Xue ngqian noticed Chu Mufan’s protective behavior towards Qi Yue, which seed to upset her, but she quickly regained her smile, shaking Chu Mufan’s arm coquettishly and said, “It’s all because you always talk about Miss Qi in front of , telling how outstanding she is. I got really curious and admired her! Now that I’ve finally seen her in person, I couldn’t help but ask a few more questions!”
“One last question, just one more, okay?”
Although Xue ngqian’s tone was pleading, she had already blinked and asked Qi Yue, “Miss Qi, do you have a boyfriend now?”
Chu Mufan had wanted to stop her, but when he heard this question, he froze and also looked at Qi Yue.
Qi Yue frowned, thinking this girl was really pushing it with her dumb and sweet act. They had only just t, right?
Asking about her major was one thing, but this counts as personal, right?
Though she wondered why this idiot Chu Mufan frequently ntioned her in front of his girlfriend and even sent her a friend request on WeChat one evening despite having a girlfriend, Qi Yue was pretty sure this girl saw her as the enemy.
Why ask if she had a boyfriend?
Could it be because she was afraid Qi Yue, being single, would continue to think about Chu Mufan?
Qi Yue, unable to hide her impatience, bluntly replied, “No…”
Xue ngqian gasped, her expression seemingly unsurprised, and then, as expected, her look beca more guarded.
Just as Qi Yue was about to retort, a voice like a cool spring with a chilly depth ca from behind her just a second after her words, “Not at the mont.”
Qi Yue instinctively turned around and then saw Gu Huai had returned.
Looking at the man whose features seed as refined as a painting, she inexplicably rembered sothing Song Qiuqiu had said: when choosing a boyfriend, find soone good-looking, so even if you get mad, just one look at his face and you calm down.
Like Gu Huai’s face, which effectively lowered her ire, it turned a harsh wind into a soothing rain, inexplicably calming her down.
It seems Song Qiuqiu’s advice wasn’t without rit, was it?
Qi Yue: “Ah, you’re back…”
Gu Huai: “Yeah.”
Gu Huai handed her a candy shaped like a small Peppa Pig, very naturally, and with a smile devoid of warmth, he looked at Chu Mufan and Xue ngqian and continued, “Because, I’m still pursuing.”
Qi Yue, blankly holding the candy handed over to her, was baffled: “…???”
Xue ngqian: “…”
Chu Mufan: “…”
