Chapter 100 (2/2)

Tang Qiu recalled the incident. “That day was my birthday. I didn’t even hear him clearly–I thought I would have to repay him for his gift in the future. I don’t have the money for that. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with studying.”

Xie Qingqing held her forehead. “You’re right!” However, Li Nanwei hadn’t harassed Tang Qiu after being rejected, and had even stood up for her when she was being insulted. He was a truly decent man. Unfortunately, Tang Qiu’s taste was different from ordinary people.

After class, Xie Qingqing raised the issue again. “Are you really not going to ask your husband for help?”

Tang Qiu frowned. “My husband is recovering. I don’t want him to worry about me.”

“Okay, then,” Xie Qingqing said helplessly. “I’ll think of a way to help you investigate the matter.”

Tang Qiu embraced her deeply. As she was leaving school, she bumped into Li Nanwei, who was waiting for her.

“Did something happen, Qiu?” Li Nanwei looked at her worriedly.

Tang Qiu shook her head. “Thank you for believing me.”

Li Nanwei couldn’t hide the lingering affection in his eyes. “It’s not you I trust–it’s my own judgment. I only go for nice girls.”

Tang Qiu was a little embarrassed. “Sorry, but I’m married.”

The light in Li Nanwei’s eyes dimmed. “I know, but you don’t have to apologize for that. My feelings are my own problem–if they become a burden to you, it would undermine the purity of my sentiments.”

“Either way, thank you so much!” Tang Qiu’s phone vibrated; it was Jiang Shaocheng. She picked up the call. “Dear, I’ll be there soon.” She bade a quick farewell to Li Nanwei.

The words Li Nanwei yearned to say to her were locked in his heart. He had felt a pang of jealousy at her smile as she answered her phone, but another part of him hadn’t minded–after all, having feelings for someone didn’t automatically make them yours. It was just a shame that she didn’t feel the same way about him.

Tang Qiu walked for a while and bumped into He Lei. She asked curiously, “Why are you here? Where’s my husband?”

He Lei hadn’t wanted to come either. But when the young master saw her standing with another man, chatting and laughing, his aura had turned cold enough to freeze a man to death. He Lei had had to scramble for an excuse to get out of the car and pick her up.

Tang Qiu didn’t dwell on the matter and said to Jiang Shaocheng over the phone, “Dear, I’ve met up with He Lei. I’ll see you soon.”

“I’ll be waiting.”

He Lei glanced at Tang Qiu’s phone; the call was still ongoing. How could a few boys, still in school, be his young master’s match when it came to scheming? Ning Mufan had been a worthy opponent, but a few words from the young master was ultimately all it took to chase him out of the country. Who would have thought that another boy would come to take his place?

Tang Qiu got into the car before hanging up. He smiled and spoke to Jiang Shaocheng.

Jiang Shaocheng didn’t bother asking who that boy was, because he could find out by himself. However, she didn’t even utter a single complaint about the slander she had faced in school that day. A tinge of sorrow filled his heart. “Did anything make you happy in school today, Qiu?”
