CHAPTER 4
Stein Royal College, Part 1“Ayi, shushu, although I don"t want to trouble you, but young master Han may want me to have a different ident.i.ty in school… .”
“Needless to say, this matter is decided, and he doesn"t get what he wants.” Han Liuhai stares at Han Qilu as he gets up and dons the suit jacket the maid hands him.
“Starting today, you"ll be sharing the same car to and from school. Let me find out you"re not good to her… I"ll freeze all your credit cards!” Jiang Yuan threatens Qilu before standing up and helping Liuhai secure his tie.
“I… .” Is this a trick? Han Qilu is silent for a long time before capitulating. He fiercely stares down An Chuxia as she leaves before him.
An Chuxia internally groans. Both she and Qilu did nothing but begrudge their fate. Why is one destined to lose something in order to gain something?
It seems she has to have no dignity to attend Stein. Is fulfilling her mother"s wish worth it?
“How long will you stand there? The young master does not want his credit cards frozen!” Han Qilu"s voice fills the hall. An Chuxia bites her inner cheek to suppress her answer. She knows if it"s not for her mother, she won"t do it!
“Shushu, ayi, I"ll be heading to school.” She bows to them before leaving.
As she sits in the extended Bentley, she realizes the high life is beyond lavish.
“When we"re in school, don"t say you know me,” Han Qilu instructs.
Pretend not to know him, of course. She hoped as much. Her lips slide to a smile and she agrees. “Okay.”
Her obedient response leaves him afflicted. Then he promptly adds, “If you see me, address me as "Master Qilu". Understand?”
Steward Han, who happens to be stoically sitting in the driver"s seat, coughs loudly upon hearing the order. “Master, I was sent by the wife to protect Miss An.”
The implication is, he is to monitor Han Qilu"s behavior.
“I won"t strangle this stranger!” Han Qilu rolls his eyes impatiently before reiterating: “You must call me young master!”
“Sure, young Master Qilu,” An Chuxia responds confidently. She is willing to call him young master and chant if it means she will be treated better.
“Fine!” Han Qilu says before gazing out the window.
Stein Royal College suddenly appears before her. Although she tries to contain her excitement, she can"t help but stare at the spectacular view.
“Don"t stare!” Han Qilu shoots her a cold look before stepping out of the car.
As soon as he gets out of the car, a group of girls wearing the school uniform surround him.
“Master Han looks very handsome today.”
“Young master Qilu, when will you go with us to KTV to play?”
“Master Han Qilu, have you eaten breakfast?”
An Chuxia hears all the flattery and compliments like they"re a special kind of idiot.
Han is so popular at the Royal College. They probably don"t know how rotten he is, right?
Once the girls have completely surrounded him, he suddenly raises his hand. An evil smile splits his face.
“Hold on,” Qilu says. “I have to tell you something.”
He leaves the girls and walks toward the other side of the Bentley. He opens the door and pulls An Chuxia out of the car, disregarding her bewildered expression.
“Who is she?” Vicious eyes lock with An Chuxia"s.
“What are you doing?” she whispers to him. Isn"t it their agreement that she should pretend not to know him? What is he doing now?
Han Qilu does not answer. Instead, he raises one of her arms. “She is my maid, An Chuxia. She"s a n.o.body and you don"t have to be polite to her!”
