Chapter 250: Going to Meet Shanon Together
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Qi had an argument with her family. Due to her stepmother’s provocation and added fuel to the fire, she almost got beaten. Her eyes were still swollen, and she narrated her story with her eyes watery.
Rong Qi pondered for a moment and suggested, “How about staying at my place tonight?”
Lu Qi looked up, her face full of grat.i.tude, but she shook her head in refusal. She said, “Rong Qi, thank you. But I can’t leave. If 1 do, won’t I be playing into the hands of that mother and daughter?”
Thinking of her chilling stepmother and stepsister at home, Lu Qi felt infuriated and said, “I won’t give in! I’m going back now, and 1’11 confront them head-on!”
After saying that, Lu Qi bid farewell to Rong Qi and left with a determined stride.
Rong Qi was speechless. She thought Lu Qi’s mind changed too swiftly, like a whirlwind.
In one moment, Lu Qi was crying her heart out, and the next moment, her fighting spirit was back. Rong Qi couldn’t help but wonder who would be the lucky one to have such a nice girl in the future.
Rong Qi sighed with a smile, feeling that there probably wouldn’t be any major issues. She stood up and started heading back.
At Clearcreek Mansion, as soon as Rong Qi returned, Mrs. Hong was standing at the entrance to greet her. Her expression was solemn as if something major had occurred.
“Madam, you’re finally back.” Mrs. Hong said.
Rong Qi’s heart skipped a beat. She said, “Mrs. Hong, don’t tell me Ye Nanshen is unwell again?”
Mrs. Hong paused for a moment, shook her head, and then whispered, “Madam, did you upset Master Shen today?”
“I didn’t!” Rong Qi said as her face showed innocence.
“Then, did you have a quarrel?” Mrs. Hong asked as she also seemed helpless.
After learning that Rong Qi was a normal person, Mrs. Hong started worrying about the relationship between Ye Nanshen and Rong Qi. The cold war they had before left a deep impression.
Mrs. Hong used to worry that the silly Rong Qi might hinder Ye Nanshen, and now she worried that their relationship might be strained.
Mrs. Hong couldn’t help but sigh.
“I didn’t!” Rong Qi repeated the same words, her expression puzzled.
Mrs. Hong let out a sigh of relief, “That’s good then. Madam, please go to the study quickly. Master Shen is waiting for you there. It seems he has something to discuss with you.”
Rong Qi nodded, somewhat bewildered, and headed upstairs. She knocked on the door and heard a faint response from inside before she opened the door and entered.
But as soon as Rong Qi entered, she was embraced around the waist by someone. Startled, Rong Qi shivered and glanced abruptly, thinking it was the red-eyed guy again.
Ye Nanshen was holding Rong Qi close, their bodies almost touching. His straight nose brushed against her cheek, tickling her.
Rong Qi’s ears were burning.
“Who did you go out to meet?” Ye Nanshen asked.
Hearing that voice as sweet as honey, Rong Qi seemed to freeze in place. “1 met my deskmate.”
“Male or female?”
“Female, not into girls, she likes handsome guys. Although she’s cute, she’s not as handsome as you, only my deskmate. Is that okay, Ye Nanshen?” Rong Qi almost recited a rap in one breath.
Ye Nanshen’s gaze flickered slightly, and he let go of Rong Qi. He said, “You’re just trying to appease me.”
“I’m not, 1 swear on my conscience!” Rong Qi covered her heart and made a solemn oath.
‘I was only afraid that you would cause trouble for Lu Qi, alright?’ Rong Qi thought.
Ye Nanshen gave a light snort but didn’t pursue the matter.
Compared to such trivial matters, Ye Nanshen had more important things to discuss with Rong Qi. He turned and walked towards the desk, hands in his pockets. His tall and straight figure made him look extremely handsome, even just his back was enough to captivate.
Rong Qi followed behind him, stepping on the shadows cast on the floor.
“I’ve made an appointment to see Shanon for a medical consultation the day after tomorrow. Go with me.” Ye Nanshen said.
Rong Qi blinked and earnestly replied, “Day after tomorrow… 1 can’t. Our cla.s.s is currently competing with Cla.s.s 1 in terms of grades. I need to tutor Lu Qi on her homework..”
