Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Who Says Love Is Always Sweet? Under the streetlights, Li Yehan and Nan Qiao stood together, the perfect couple. This scene was also seen by Dong Qingqing and Lv Cancan. Lv Cancan was full of envy: “Qiaoqiao’s boyfriend is so handsome! His height must be around 1.9 meters, right? Tall and handsome, his figure is even better than a model’s.” Dong Qingqing watched the scene with suspicion: “Last time, the person I saw dropping Nan Qiao off at school wasn’t him; it was an older man.” “Probably Qiaoqiao’s dad or her uncle,” Lv Cancan’s eyes stayed fixed on Nan Qiao and Li Yehan, completely missing the look on Dong Qingqing’s face. Unconvinced, Dong Qingqing retorted, “How are you so sure that man is her uncle and not her lover?” Lv Cancan turned her head and looked at Dong Qingqing incredulously: “Qingqing, Qiaoqiao has such a handsome boyfriend, why would she need an older man? Look at Qiaoqiao’s boyfriend’s aura — he’s surely rich or powerful!” Lv Cancan wanted to say that Dong Qingqing must have studied herself into stupidity. Dong Qingqing was the type who, coming from a small town, relied on academic success to make it to Jing City. During high school, she spent every day buried in her books, and her family wasn’t well-off. Jing City, a place of wealth that dazzles and blinds. Lv Cancan figured Dong Qingqing must have been overwhelmed by it all and harbored some resentment towards the rich. Not only that, she didn’t want the people around her to live better lives than her. Especially Nan Qiao, who was this year’s top scorer in the national college entrance exams. Lv Cancan smiled and said, “Qingqing, don’t you think I make sense? Look at Qiaoqiao’s boyfriend. Tall, upright, noble—he and Qiaoqiao are surely a perfect match.” Dong Qingqing forced out a stiff smile, “You’re absolutely right.” “Let’s head back to school,” Lv Cancan said, tugging at Dong Qingqing to leave. But Dong Qingqing stood her ground. “Let’s go say hello to Nan Qiao first.” Dong Qingqing strode forward quickly, and Lv Cancan stood helplessly in place. When Lv Cancan thought about leaving alone, she suddenly heard Dong Qingqing shout loudly, “Nan Qiao!” Lv Cancan found herself awkwardly stuck, unable to leave or stay. Nan Qiao looked over and spotted Lv Cancan as well, flashing her a quick smile. Lv Cancan reluctantly walked over but kept her distance from Dong Qingqing. From this close range, Lv Cancan couldn’t take her eyes off them. Honestly, who wouldn’t enjoy staring at a handsome guy, especially someone as stunning as Li Yehan? Even Dong Qingqing hadn’t expected Li Yehan to be this good-looking. Seeing him up close, he was unreal. Li Yehan’s expression was icy cold. To strangers, his face rarely showed warmth. Dong Qingqing grinned. “Nan Qiao, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to run into you here. And this is?” Dong Qingqing blatantly fixed her gaze on Li Yehan. Before Nan Qiao could speak, Li Yehan’s deep and magnetic voice chimed in coolly, “I’m Qiaoqiao’s fiancé.” Nan Qiao had already anticipated that Li Yehan would say this and wasn’t surprised. Lv Cancan chimed in, “Qiaoqiao, congratulations.” “Thank you,” Nan Qiao responded gracefully, openly acknowledging their relationship. Then Nan Qiao added, “We’ve got some things to do, so we’ll head off now.” Li Yehan reached for Nan Qiao’s hand, holding it in his own. In his other hand, he clutched a pink cotton candy. Lv Cancan bid farewell to them, watching as Nan Qiao and Li Yehan walked away together. Turning back, Lv Cancan sighed and said, “Qingqing, your hostility towards Qiaoqiao is too much—it’s obvious.” Dong Qingqing hurriedly denied it: “I don’t have any hostility.” “Whether you do or not, you know best. I just want to tell you, Qiaoqiao isn’t a bad person. She’s actually a nice girl, so stop misunderstanding her.” Dong Qingqing’s face darkened. “Lv Cancan, what are you trying to say? Are you accusing me of being a bad person? I can’t believe you’d think that way about me.” Dong Qingqing stormed off, walking briskly with large strides. Lv Cancan shook her head helplessly. ... Li Yehan and Nan Qiao strolled along the roadside. “That taller girl has animosity towards you,” Li Yehan stated firmly. “I have no idea why she’s hostile to me—I’ve never offended her. But you don’t have to worry. I don’t live in the dorms and rarely see her. I leave right after school and only return for classes, so we don’t really interact much.” She wasn’t attending school to make friends, after all. “I’m planning to graduate early; I’ve already discussed it with the school.” While walking, Nan Qiao suddenly noticed Li Yehan had stopped. “Li Yehan, why aren’t you walking?” “You said you’re graduating early?” Nan Qiao nodded, looking puzzled. “What’s wrong? Is it a problem if I graduate early?” Li Yehan’s face lit up with joy. He wrapped a single arm around Nan Qiao and twirled her in place before gently setting her down. “Qiaoqiao, I’m happy—so, so happy! Once you graduate, let’s get married, okay?” His eyes burned with intensity, overflowing with anticipation as he waited for Nan Qiao’s answer. Facing his gaze, Nan Qiao met his eyes head-on. Nan Qiao grinned and replied, “I’ll need time to think about it.” She dashed off as soon as she finished speaking, and Li Yehan ran after her. ... Bai Jingrui was anxiously waiting at the entrance to an underground garage. Seeing his behavior, the butler approached him and asked, “Young Master Bai, are you waiting for the young miss?” “Yes, why hasn’t my sister returned yet? It’s already nine-thirty—she should’ve been back by now.” The butler chuckled and offered an explanation: “The young miss must be on a date with Mr. Li. If she’s a little late coming back, it’s understandable. Young people, after all—they can’t stay in the house all day!” Bai Jingrui: “......” Even if that’s true, things still shouldn’t be like this! “Li Yehan is someone who tricks young girls. My sister is naïve and inexperienced—how could she possibly outsmart him?” Having witnessed Nan Qiao’s abilities firsthand, the butler: “......” The young miss was certainly capable. But even though Bai Jingrui was saying this, the butler refrained from arguing. He continued smiling pleasantly: “Young Master Bai, just wait a little while longer. The young miss should return soon.” “Once I finish filming this movie, I’m dedicating the next week to staying at home with my sister, personally driving her to and from school so that jerk Li Yehan has no opportunities!” The butler: “......” Was Young Master Bai trying to block all of the young miss’s romantic prospects? But this wasn’t a bad prospect at all. The butler attempted a gentler approach: “Young Master Bai, at her age, it’s normal for the young miss to want a sweet romance, don’t you think?” “My sister is still young, and not all romances are sweet—what if hers turns out to be bitter?” Surprised, the butler asked, “Young Master Bai, have you experienced a bitter romance before?” Bai Jingrui: “......” “Of course not! Why would I have experienced a bitter romance? I’m handsome, talented, and wealthy—every relationship I’ve had has been sweet!” The butler smiled and nodded in agreement: “Young Master Bai is absolutely right. Being handsome, talented, and wealthy, you surely only attract the best kinds of relationships.” A smile spread across Bai Jingrui’s face, but as he glanced at his watch, the smile faded. Why hadn’t his sister come back yet? It was all because of Li Yehan! After the butler left, Bai Jingrui remained at the underground garage entrance, continuing to wait. After some time had passed, he finally saw a car slowly approaching.
