Chapter 491 - Foolish Lady (2/2)

She was, in fact, lashing out at Xiao Luo.

…

…

By the time they made their way back to Crescent Bay, it was already ten in the evening.

Not only did it seem like the rain would not be stopping anytime soon, but it appeared to be getting heavier. More puddles were forming on the ground, and when the raindrops hit them, the bubbles that were formed seemed to light up like tiny bulbs.

“Huh, why is there someone standing there in the rain? It looks like a girl?” Shen Qingyan exclaimed.

Xiao Luo followed the direction of her gaze. Indeed, he saw a girl curled up, folding her arms around her chest. She sat unmoving in the pouring rain by the streetside next to the main gate leading to Crescent Bay, with her head lowered. Although she was some distance away from the car, she seemed familiar to him at first glance.

Gu Qianxue?

He took a harder look, and he was about 80% sure that it was her—not everybody had that simple yet elegant air about them.

Xiao Luo immediately pushed open the door and bounded over.

“Gu Qianxue?” He stood in front of the girl and called out to her.

When she heard him, the girl immediately raised her head. She had a beautiful face with a cold demeanor, giving her an aloofness that made it difficult for anyone to approach her. She had a pair of exquisitely beautiful eyes and glowing pale skin. Who could it be if not Gu Qianxue? She was as naive as a blank sheet of paper.

“I’ve been waiting for you, Xiao Luo.”

Gu Qianxue stood up. She was drenched from head to toe. Her face seemed unusually pale, and her hair was soaking wet as well, with some strands clinging to her face. At the sight of Xiao Luo, the coldness in her eyes vanished, replaced by warmth and glee.

“Since you know I live here, why didn’t you just let yourself in? Why did you have to wait here in the rain?” Xiao Luo said.

There was a trace of an uneasy smile on Gu Qianxue’s face. “Umm, they wouldn’t let me in. So I had no other option but to wait here by the gate for you,” she said.

Xiao Luo really could not understand why the girl was so foolish. “Your older sister is so smart, so how are you this dumb? Don’t you know to find shelter when it’s pouring like this?”

“That’s alright, my body’s real tough. A little rain like this can’t hurt me,” Gu Qianxue responded, shaking her head.

Xiao Luo was shocked. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. “If your dad knew the kind of situation you were in, he’d probably call me out for a cup of tea in the middle of the night,” he said.

Gu Qianxue laughed sweetly. “Xiao Luo, it’s great that I managed to find you…”

As soon as the words left her mouth, her eyes fluttered slightly, and she collapsed in a heap.

Xiao Luo jumped in shock, instantly helping her up. “Gu Qianxue, Gu Qianxue…” he called her name several times, but she did not respond. He put his hand on her forehead, and he blanched. “What was all that nonsense about having a strong body? You’re burning up!” he muttered.

He gathered the foolish girl into his arms and sprinted into Crescent Bay. There was some medicine to treat fevers and flu in his apartment, and he had to treat her immediately.

In the Jaguar, Su Li and Shen Qingyan sat frozen in shocked silence.

It was Shen Qingyan who came back to her senses first. “Li, they seem to know each other. The girl seems rather innocent, probably in her early 20s. The girls that Xiao Luo are acquainted with are all so pretty. Is this what it means to be blessed?” she said.

There was a conflicted expression on Su Li’s face when she heard those words. She was a woman, and her sixth sense told her that the girl was her love rival.
