Chapter 1272: Putting On an Act
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When she got to cla.s.s, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief and placed the two bags on the table. She shuddered when she recalled how the man had stared at her gloomily when she entered school earlier. However, thinking about it, they had already broken up, so there was really no need for her to be afraid. Only then did her complexion improve. Besides, she didn’t think that Qi Zhenbai was a man who couldn’t let things go.
If it were any other man, that might be a possibility, but Qi Zhenbai had always been calm, self-a.s.sured, and decisive, whether it was about other things or his feelings. He might still have some feelings for her now, but they would fade after a while. Besides, she wasn’t the only woman in the world.
He might really be able to find someone who was better and more suitable than her.
She firmly believed this. After all, he had his family background, abilities, and looks; it was impossible for him not to find someone better.
Thinking this, Chi Shuyan relaxed. In the end, this was the first time in two lifetimes that she had devoted herself wholeheartedly to a relations.h.i.+p. No matter how rational she was, she would still feel the occasional disappointment and regret.
!!
Perhaps one day, she might regret not salvaging this relations.h.i.+p, but for now, at least, she didn’t regret it. She also knew that their personalities really weren’t compatible.
Since they weren’t compatible, they should go their separate ways.
Having said that, the man’s display of weakness earlier had still shaken her a little. Forget it, the two of them weren’t fated to be together. Chi Shuyan no longer thought about how the man had stared at her coldly, as if he wanted to bore a hole into her. She calmed down and stopped thinking about her feelings about that man. Relations.h.i.+ps were too complicated. Since she had chosen the path of cultivation, she should be firm about following it. Breaking up wasn’t like playing house.
Once a decision was made, that should be the end of it.
It was still better to be decisive. It was too unsightly to hang on!
Chi Shuyan had just adjusted her mood, when she saw Yang Lan take the initiative to come over and greet her with a smile. “Shuyan! What are these two bags?”
Chi Shuyan curbed her smile when she saw Yang Lan come over. As Yang Lan spoke, she opened the bags in a natural manner and took a few looks inside. She found that it was all food boxes, but she couldn’t see what delicious food was inside. She didn’t know who had given them to Chi Shuyan.
There was also a huge pile of good fruits.
Thinking this, Yang Lan’s eyes flashed. Something must have happened in the cafe last night. Yang Lan had a vague guess, but seeing that this Chi woman was in a good mood, Yang Lan was uncertain for a moment. She probed, “Shuyan, who on earth gave you this breakfast? Could it be your President Qi? You’re too lucky!”
Chi Shuyan was already on guard against Yang Lan. After s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g her over last night, Yang Lan could still talk to her so naturally and innocently this morning.
Chi Shuyan didn’t speak, and Yang Lan didn’t notice anything strange. Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, she sat in front of Chi Shuyan and turned around. Her eyes flashed and she suddenly said, “By the way, Shuyan, were… were you okay last night?”
How could Chi Shuyan not know what the woman in front of her was trying to do? She was curious about why she was being targeted again and again. She said indifferently, “Why wouldn’t I be?”
Yang Lan was stumped and choked on her words. However, she wasn’t willing to miss out on a chance to enjoy a show. She was also a smart person and knew that what she did last night could be exposed at any moment. She took the initiative to explain, “Shuyan, we were wrong. After Zhen Yu and I parted ways with you last night, we saw you and President Qi near a cafe. Not long after that, we ran into Young Master Feng.”
At this point, Yang Lan’s interest in Feng Yuancen didn’t seem to have faded. An obscure dark light flashed in her eyes. Chi Shuyan didn’t call her out on it, but listened quietly.
Yang Lan feigned an apologetic expression and said, “At that time, Young Master Feng said he was looking for you. Zhen Yu and I were a bit surprised to see Young Master Feng holding a large bouquet of flowers, but we didn’t think much of it. Then, Zhen Yu and I told him where you were.”
At this point, Yang Lan sounded even more apologetic and looked very guilty. If Chi Shuyan hadn’t already seen through the woman in front of her, she might really have been fooled. Yang Lan’s acting skills were really good and awesome. It would be a pity for her not to become an actress.
Although Yang Lan had dragged Zhen Yu into the matter, she didn’t push all the blame on her, so this woman still had some conscience. However, Chi Shuyan didn’t dare befriend such a person anymore.
Although Chi Shuyan wasn’t afraid of falling out with the other party, and even planned to do so, she didn’t plan to do it in school or in the cla.s.sroom. It would be too unsightly and would attract attention.
What Feng Yuancen did last night had probably made her famous. Otherwise, why would everyone in the cla.s.s look at her so strangely?
Fortunately, her mental fort.i.tude was still good, and she directly ignored the strange gazes of the rest of the cla.s.s. She hoped that the incident with Feng Yuancen last night would be immediately suppressed.
She narrowed her eyes. “Since you didn’t mean it, forget it!”
If the other party could put on an act, so could she. She would settle accounts with this woman sooner or later!
Yang Lan’s eyes grew more and more guilty. “Shuyan, President Qi didn’t misunderstand, did he? Why don’t I explain it to President Qi myself? I can also explain things to Young Master Feng. By the way, where is Young Master Feng? Did something happen at the cafe last night? Why did I see an ambulance?”
