After the phone call, Jing Yun was ready to go to bed. Suddenly, he heard someone knocking at the door.
Jing Yun opened the door and saw Sheng Minglan. He was startled. “Miss Minglan, why are you still awake?”
“I am writing proposals for my company. I saw that your room is still bright so I came to ask you something. Can’t I come in?”
“It’s not like that. I am just worried that Miss Minghui might see you and make a fuss later on.”
“Who are you? You have been living here for so many years. We all know your character. Don’t worry.” Sheng Minglan walked into Jing Yun’s room. Then, she saw all the presents that she had given him on his desk.
“All here?”
“Nobody apart from you will give me presents. So, all here,” said Jing Yun. “If you mind…”
“Why would I mind? They are all yours.” Sheng Minglan chuckled and sat down. “You must know a lot about business working with Sheng Xiao. Come here. I need your help with something.”
Jing Yun had never been with Sheng Minglan in a room alone without other people, apart from that night in Jing Ting. He was very nervous. He was scared that Sheng Minglan’s reputation might be tarnished.
“Let’s do it fast. Then, we can rest in our own rooms.”
When Jing Yun said that, Sheng Minglan could not help but laugh. “Why do you care more than me about my reputation? Come here now…”
Jing Yun walked to Sheng Minglan and sat beside her. Although he was still nervous, when he took the documents from Sheng Minglan, he immediately changed into another man. A professional and confident man with great knowledge about business.
He looked so handsome and charming when he talked about business management, funding and systems.
Sheng Xiao was a controller by nature. He liked taking risks and making bets. And he was very good at planning. As for Jing Yun, he was precise and concise. His accuracy was comparable to that of a machine.
After listening to his comments, Sheng Minglan was overwhelmed. Although women could become leaders now, they were still not as good at planning. Jing Yun could point out all his concerns in every aspect. Good reasoning skill was the advantage of a man to succeed in his career.
After the discussion, Sheng Minglan smiled helplessly. “You are not the boy in rags standing in the snow by the street anymore.”
“Miss, I have answered all your questions. You should really be going back to your room and rest now.”
Seeing Jing Yun’s serious face, Sheng Minglan nodded. “You should get some rest too.”
Jing Yun sighed with relief. But when Sheng Minglan was about to leave his room, she turned to him and asked, “With your skills, you can go out and build your own business. Why are you still willing to work under Sheng Xiao as his assistant?”
“If he needs me, I will stay with him forever.”
‘Then, I can protect you forever.’
Sheng Minglan would never know what he said in his heart. She returned to her room with the documents. But when she closed her door, her heart started racing. In fact, she had discussed all the matters with her risk analysts. She did not know why but she could only feel less stressed when she went to Jing Yun. He was the only one in the Sheng family who she could approach. But, that boy was very shy, so she had to be careful…
She had met with the Englishman as requested by Grandpa Sheng.
If nothing went wrong, the announcement of their engagement would soon be made.
Since Grandpa Sheng was the one who kept on forcing her, then he could not blame her for making a fuss bigger than Sheng Xiao later.
As for Jing Yun, he was hoping that her dream would come true!
…
The next morning, Mu Qiqi attended her lectures as usual. And when she reached school, the banner was already hanging there, greeting her. She smiled.
She was a famous ice queen on campus. Because for Sheng Xiao’s sake, she could have no friends. It was enough for her to just have Lu Qianqian as her friend.
If she made new friends, her social circle would become larger. Then, she would not be able to go home on time. It would become a burden to her.
Soon, she was in the classroom. Once again, she shoved everything on her table into the dustbin. She did not know who did it yesterday. But today, it was different.
He was Xiao Chenhao, a sophomore majoring in finance. He was a notorious playboy. And he seemed to be trying to imitate Sheng Xiao’s character.
If it was not because of this, Sheng Minghui would not have chosen him.
In order words, he saw Sheng Xiao as his role model.
Mu Qiqi found out about his timetable from a senior from his faculty and went to his classroom. She sat there and waited. Soon, she saw Xiao Chenhao entering the classroom, wearing sporty outfits and a pair of headphones. He thought he looked cool.
Then, the lecturer entered the classroom to start the lecture. Before it started, Mu Qiqi stood up and walked from the last row to the front row. She asked the lecturer, “Can I have a few minutes of your time? I need to say something.”
The students cheered. They knew she was Mu Qiqi, their junior from the Faculty of Forensic Science!
Although the lecturer was confused, he still made space for Mu Qiqi. He wanted to know what Mu Qiqi wanted to do.
Mu Qiqi went to the podium and glanced at all her seniors. Then she stopped before Xiao Chenhao.
“Dear seniors, I am very sorry for taking your time. But I have a personal matter that I must take care of now.”
“Just say it.” The students were excited to know what would happen.
But, Mu Qiqi shouted out a name. “Xiao Chenhao.”
Everyone looked at him after Mu Qiqi called out his name, including Mu Qiqi herself.
“Your actions have seriously affected my normal lifestyle. And it is not environmentally friendly at all to hang so many banners everywhere. Besides, the food you bought is not nutritious at all. Please don’t put it on my table anymore. I don’t want to waste my time cleaning.”
After Mu Qiqi finished talking, the whole class cheered.
Wow…
“I already have a fiancé. I don’t want to play some love game with you. Please restrain yourself and don’t cause me trouble anymore. And, you should know who my man is. How can you do such mundane things even when you know it? What were you thinking? It’s okay if you want to make yourself a fool, but don’t think that the others are stupid like you. Everyone can see and they know what choices they should make. If you try to ruin my family, I will fight with you. That’s all that I want to say. You can go on with your lecture. Sir, I am sorry for taking your time.” Mu Qiqi bowed deeply at the lecturer. Her action was fast and cool. Before the students even realized it, she had already left the classroom.
“Wow, she is so cool!”
“Xiao Chenhao, I didn’t expect you to be the one causing all these rumors.”
“What are you even thinking to snatch the crown prince’s woman?”
“I thought Mu Qiqi was the one flirting around. But it turns out to be a one-sided love?”
