Chapter 37: Chapter 037 Long Time No See

Chu Mufan watched the girl before him with blazing eyes.

Although the girl was dressed very simply, even the plainest attire couldn’t disguise her features, and what was most extraordinary was that the clarity in her eyes seemed never to have changed but had become even more dazzling, making it hard for anyone to shift their gaze away.

“It’s been a long time; I really didn’t expect to meet you here…” Chu Mufan said.

“You…” Chu Mufan’s sudden appearance had left Qi Yue somewhat dazed.

Just as she was about to speak, she noticed a young girl accompanying Chu Mufan.

The girl affectionately looped her arm through his, and at this moment, turned to Qi Yue with a look of delighted surprise, interrupting what Qi Yue was about to say, “So you are Qi Yue!”

The girl sized up Qi Yue from head to toe, her eyes carrying an imperceptible probing and caution but, nevertheless, her face was full of smiles, “I’ve heard so much about you! Mufan often mentions you, saying you’re a very, very good friend of his…”

After finishing speaking, the girl laughed, “Ah! Right, I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Xue Mengqian, and I’m Mufan’s girlfriend!”

The sudden appearance of Chu Mufan and the unexpectedly warm greeting from this unfamiliar girl left Qi Yue momentarily unsure of how to react.

Thus, she simply nodded lightly, “Hello.”

Qi Yue wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but this girl’s gaze toward her seemed constantly probing and evaluative, and there was also a hint of subtle caution.

The earlier remark, first calling her Chu Mufan’s “friend,” and then immediately introducing herself as Chu Mufan’s “girlfriend,” seemed somewhat like a declaration of ownership.

As Qi Yue pondered this, wondering if she was overthinking, she heard the girl continue very enthusiastically, “Mufan must have mentioned me to you; we went to study in the United States together!”
