Chapter 413: Definitely An Illusion
Qiao Yanjue explained, “If you guys really got into a fight, I’ll have to call an ambulance for her. Otherwise, I’m afraid she’ll die.”
Qiao Yanjue had seen Xia Xibei’s strength and certainly understood how tough she was.
Xia Qinghan was a weak woman with no power. How could she beat her?
“As for the lawyer… I certainly won’t let you be taken away.”
Xia Xibei didn’t know what to say.
However, after saying this, Qiao Yanjue smiled again.
“Of course, I believe that you won’t be caught in the act. So, the possibility of that is zero.”
Xia Xibei was so smart, how could she hit someone indiscriminately and then get caught for it?
Besides, she wouldn’t do anything by force. It’s more likely she’d frustrate them to death.
Qiao Yanjue’s words made Xia Xibei smile, “You trust me that much?”
“Of course,” Qiao Yanjue blurted, looking at her.
For a moment, the two of them looked at each other and the air seemed to freeze.
Xia Xibei held her breath, Qiao Yanjue’s eyes were dark and deep, as if they were about to suck her in.
“Okay, I’m fine now!” She panicked and jerked her leg back. “I forgot, I haven’t taken off my makeup yet!”
As soon as she came back, she got a ma.s.sage, so how could she have remembered to take off her makeup?
Looking at her back, Qiao Yanjue smiled, “Well then, you have a good rest. I’m going back.”
“Good, go ahead, I won’t see you off!”
Xia Xibei waved her hand without looking back and dove into the bathroom. “Remember to close the door for me!”
“Okay.”
Looking at her slightly fl.u.s.tered back, Qiao Yanjue’s smile deepened, but he didn’t make any rash moves.
Only after hearing the door open and close did Xia Xibei let out a fierce sigh of relief.
She patted her face, which felt a little feverish.
Thinking about what Qiao Yanjue had just said, her face scrunched up into a frown.
He couldn’t be… Interested in her, right?
Once she had this idea, Xia Xibei immediately sucked in a breath, then shook her head violently.
No way! How could Qiao Yanjue like her?!
He had seen all of her negative sides, so he couldn’t be stupid enough to like her, could he?
Yes, it must be an illusion!
Xia Xibei laughed at herself, and then walked into the bathroom.
As soon as she saw her face in the mirror, she could not help but cry out.
“Ahhh!”
OMG! She looked horrible!
Her makeup was all over the place!
The quality of these cosmetics was not bad, but they weren’t great either. After a whole evening, plus a late-night snack and no make-up touch ups in between, her make-up had melted.
It was not a disaster, but it was very close to it.
This was the middle of the night, and to suddenly see such a face, even if it was her own face, Xia Xibei was almost scared to death.
So how in the world did Qiao Yanjue say something like that to her face?
Xia Xibei was sure that the small glimpse of flirtation just now was definitely an illusion!
Who would want to make a move to that kind of face?!
Xia Xibei muttered to herself, shaking off this inexplicable feeling of illusion, while removing makeup and cleaning up.
She was satisfied only after seeing the clean and beautiful face in the mirror.
As she touched her flawless face, the smile on the corner of her mouth turned cold.
The next morning, she returned to school and, by coincidence, ran into Xia Qinghan again.
This time, Xia Qinghan only had Tao Yueying next to her. Rumor was that Liu Zhijing had taken a break from school because she was not feeling well.
Seeing Xia Xibei’s flawlessly beautiful face, Xia Qinghan’s mood instantly turned bad.
“You…”
But this time, Xia Xibei didn’t even look back. She walked away, leaving Xia Qinghan to gnash her teeth.
