Jing Xi quickly became good friends with Qiao Ruoyi. They would often hang out after cla.s.s.
When they were leaving the campus one day, they noticed that the man who had hara.s.sed Qiao Ruiyi was waiting outside in the car.
Qiao Ruoyi quickly hid behind Jing Xi. Jing Xi had no choice but to take Qiao Ruoyi with her.
“Why are you so afraid of him? He’s good looking and rich,” Jing Xi asked when they were on their way to Yunjing Manor.
“You have no idea! He’s a complete maniac!” Qiao Ruiyi scolded.
Jing Xi had no idea what really went down between them. But she knew that no one would avoid another person if the latter was helpful to them.
Jing Xi guessed that something had happened between them, and that it hurt Qiao Ruoyi deeply. That was why Qiao Ruoyi was hiding from him.
Jing Xi drove all the way straight back to her home. It was her first time having her cla.s.smate over.
Qiao Ruoyi walked past the garden and was amazed by the flowers and trees in it.
“I always heard that Mr. Huo really loves his wife. I guess the rumors were true. Look at all these plants! He must’ve spent a lot of time on them for you!”
“Yup. He’s the best in the world.”
Jing Xi could not hide her pride for her husband.
“Is Mr. Huo home? I’m actually a fan of his. I hope I can get an autograph,” Qiao Ruoyi said excitedly.
“I’m sorry, but you might be disappointed.”
Qiao Ruoyi only learned that Huo Yunshen was in a comatose state after entering the manor.
“I really can’t believe it, the hards.h.i.+ps that the both of you have to go through. I still remember the two of you in the news just a few weeks ago, but now he’s here lying unconsciously…”
“But I believe that he’ll wake up soon.”
“Yes, I’ll pray for you, Jing Xi.”
Jing Xi asked Qiao Ruiyi to stay for dinner after that.
Having known Jing Xi for quite some time, Qiao Ruoyi gladly accepted the offer.
“I still remember seeing you at the cooking compet.i.tion! I was thinking then that you must’ve caught Mr. Huo’s attention with your cooking skill.”
“Cooking has nothing to do with love,” Jing Xi laughed. “But knowing how to cook is definitely a plus.”
They kept talking until Ying Bao was back from school.
When Qiao Ruoyi saw the little girl, she could instantly recognize her as the internet celebrity Cherry Baby.
“That’s Cherry Baby, right? She’s cuter in real life!”
Ying Bao ran into her mother’s arms and looked at Qiao Ruoyi.
“Hey, say h.e.l.lo to Auntie Qiao,” Jing Xi said as she patted Ying Bao’s head.
“h.e.l.lo, Aunty Qiao.”
“What a cute little girl. Can I hug you?”
“Since Auntie Qiao is so pretty, okay!”
Ying Bao turned around and let Qiao Ruoyi hug her.
