The powerful man was flustered and exasperated, "Block the entire country immediately! If she dares to run, the Chu Clan will disappear immediately! " Disappeared? Heh, she wasn't afraid of his threats at all! The reporters were curious and asked, "Miss Chu, you don't seem to be afraid?" The beautiful woman glanced at the man who was busying himself in the kitchen and said with a smile, "My husband is a good man who goes to the best kitchen in the hall.

CHAPTER 201 - ENEMIES HAVE A NARROW ROAD

After the meeting, Rui Ni was suddenly informed by the director to deliver the documents to the teachers who did not have time to attend the meeting. They were all important documents that were to be used tomorrow, time was of the essence.

The academy's location was originally remote, and it was at least an hour away from its destination. In order to reach their destination faster, Rui Ni didn't even think before heading towards the closest road.

She didn't think that the car would suddenly turn off halfway up the mountain. When she saw that there wasn't any gas left, she remembered that she had planned to refuel on her way home, but she left in too much of a hurry. He took out his phone and wanted to make a call, but just as he dialed the number out twice, there was a busy signal. That's right, it would be weird if there was a signal on this shitty halfway up the mountain.

Standing there in a circle, Rui Ni waited for a long time but still couldn't get past the cars, so he could only blame his bad luck.

This road was originally remote, and the number of cars passing by was extremely few. If it weren't for the reason that she was in a hurry, she wouldn't have taken this road. However, she didn't expect that she would have encountered all sorts of bad things. Suddenly, a black car came from a short distance away. Perhaps because of the narrow road, the car didn't move very fast. Rui Ni waved his hands and ran over to the side of the car to knock on the window. He shouted anxiously: Hello, may I ask if you can help? My car didn't...

The window rolled down slowly, and when she saw the face of the driver gradually appear, she was stunned. She then shouted in surprise, Why is it you again?

The man took off his sunglasses, the corners of his lips curled up as he smiled gently and brilliantly: Miss He, can you describe us as enemies with a narrow path?

Combined with the current scene, this idiom was very appropriate.

That... My car is out of gas and my phone doesn't have any signal. If it's convenient for you, can you …" Rui Ni didn't have time to think about it, so she asked in an unnatural manner. She didn't like to beg others, especially towards the man she looked down upon before.

But the current situation was special. If he had not encountered Qi Hao himself, he really did not know how long he would have to wait here at the middle of the mountain.

I'd love to. Let's get in the car. Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Qi Hao replied with a gentle smile.

finally heaved a sigh of relief when they were halfway down the mountain in Qi Hao's car and had even called the insurance company. Why are you here? Looking at Qi Hao who was seriously driving, she suddenly thought of this question. This place was probably the most remote part of the district. Normally, if they were heading in the opposite direction, they wouldn't be able to come here no matter what.

Suddenly, Rui Ni remembered the cold girl that he had met at the entrance of the school building that day. He suddenly realised that Qi Hao had probably come to the Academy to see his girlfriend.

There's something. Sure enough, his two short words explained everything.

Oh, you're looking for a girlfriend, right? She understood what he meant and nodded her head as if she understood. In her mind, she once again thought about the girl's cold and beautiful face, which did not match when she was standing beside Qi Hao.

What girlfriend? he asked, turning to her doubtfully.

This time, it was Rui Ni who could no longer remain calm. He felt that this was the act of a trash playing around with a pure female student! He had clearly seen it at the entrance of the school building that day, yet Qi Hao still wanted to deny it.

That girl was really blind to follow such a man! Didn't we meet under the teaching building that day? She's pretty … a little miss, why did she … She blurted out the true thoughts in her heart. Realizing that, she quickly stopped herself from speaking and her face turned slightly hot.

Unexpectedly, Qi Hao actually laughed very happily. You said it's a full moon, right? I can't stand a girl like her. The steering wheel turned and turned off the main road, causing the flow of traffic to increase in an instant. A full moon, Rui Ni repeated in his heart. As expected, the name of a beautiful person is so pleasant to listen to. The cold and lonely moon in the night sky emitted the most dazzling light alone.

We're here, right? The car stopped in front of a residential area. He looked out of the window and saw a shabby looking residential area. From the door, he could see that some of the sports equipment downstairs had rusted and aged.

En, thank you. I'll take a taxi back later. I'll treat you to a meal another day. Rui Ni picked up his bag and documents, got out of the car, and followed the address given by the director to the entrance. There were a total of three coaches who needed to deliver documents. Two of them lived in this district, and the other one wasn't too far away, so she estimated that it would only take her 10 minutes to get there.

I'll go with you. Qi Hao extinguished the flames and got off the carriage, walking beside Rui Ni.

Although the surroundings were not considered remote, the residential area was dilapidated and did not look to be safe. Even as a girl, Rui Ni was still a little worried. He walked into the residential area and headed towards the building inside, and finally went to the one in the middle. The corridor was dark and narrow. A few dim yellow lights illuminated the corridor from time to time.

Just as Rui Ni was about to walk up the stairs, he was startled by a spider beside the stairs. He stood at the side and hesitated, not daring to continue walking forward.

It's fine, don't be afraid. Qi Hao pulled her upstairs, all the way to the floor indicated on the note, before she stopped and stood at the door.

The two of them looked at each other, the atmosphere between them inexplicably awkward. Rui Ni's face reddened, and she hurriedly pulled her hand out from his palm.

Not long later, the door opened and a woman in her sixties stuck her head out and asked curiously, Who are you looking for?

I'm here to look for Teacher Xiao. The academy sent me here to deliver some information. Rui Ni smiled and waved the folder in his hand, the woman's expression immediately became much friendlier, and she opened the door wide: Yunyun is out, the two of you come in and drink some tea first.

Although the furniture in the two rooms and one living room were old and worn out, they were all neatly arranged. Even the sundries on a small table next to the TV series were cleaned up quite properly.

I'm really sorry for troubling you. Yunyun hasn't been feeling well recently and can't go to class, so you guys have to specially make a trip … The woman brought over two cups of jasmine tea with an apologetic look on her face. It's alright Auntie, as colleagues take care of each other, it's only right.

Rui Ni sipped on his scented tea, his face had a faint smile, and at the same time, he observed the lady in front of him. Although the clothes worn by the woman were old and worn, they were washed extremely cleanly. There was even the scent of soap on the clothes. Oh right, I have something to ask you in secret. My family's Yunyun … Have you talked about friends yet? "

The lady suddenly asked Rui Ni and Qi Hao in a low voice. Seeing that they did not seem to react, she continued to add: Sigh, at my age, I don't have anything to worry about, I'm just afraid that no one will take care of my Yun Yun. How nice it is to be like all of you, a perfect couple, with each other …"

CHAPTER 202 - THE SO-CALLED HEAVEN'S WILL

A perfect match? Rui Ni was confused, he glanced at Qi Hao, and immediately realised that the lady had misunderstood him and Qi Hao, and thought that they were a pair.

Just as she was about to explain herself, Qi Hao tugged on the corner of her clothes, hinting her with his eyes.

By the time the three pieces of information were sent out, it was already dark.

Looking at the time, it was already 9 in the evening, and it would take more than an hour to get back from here. Fortunately, she had told Chu Yu not to wait for her to eat dinner before she left, so it seemed that she really couldn't make it in time.

Get on the car, I'll take you back. Opening the car door, Qi Hao stood beside the car and said gently.

It was already late in the night, so he didn't know how long he would have to wait by the side of the road. Instead, it was better to just take Qi Hao's car and head back. With that thought in mind, Rui Ni got on the carriage without much hesitation.

Now that he thought about it, it seemed like every time he met him, there would always be bad news. From the initial incident where they chased after him, to the mistake of the cuisine department, and then to the time when there was no oil on the car halfway up the mountain, he didn't know if it was a coincidence or an accident.

Boss Qi, are you saying … Why am I always so unlucky to meet you? Rui Ni stared at the shadow of the street lamp outside the windshield, and laughed at himself.

Qi Hao turned his head slightly, the shadow flashed past half of his face, and suddenly said with a serious tone: You would only be unlucky if you did not meet me, maybe you had to suffer some misfortune before I came to save you.

The atmosphere inside the carriage became silent for a while, and when Rui Ni saw that he turned his head to continue driving, his serious tone still echoed by his ear, causing his heart to throb inexplicably.

Reaching the bottom, he looked up, but Chu Yu's room's light was still on.

Thank you for today. I'll treat you to a meal another day. Standing downstairs, she waved her hand. The fatigue from running all afternoon had already made her feel a little sleepy, but she still forced herself to stay alert.

Qi Hao laughed: I didn't think you would have such a gentle time too …

The first time he saw her, she had looked so fierce, so much so that the image of her in his mind was so fierce.

And today, when he delivered the documents to someone else, he realized that this ferocious woman had such a relaxed and graceful side to her. Her colleagues had handled the matter so skillfully, which made him have a new perspective on her.

There are many things you don't know. Rui Ni rolled his eyes and returned to his normal appearance.

Qi Hao continued to laugh, Oh? I'll be waiting to see what happens after that.

With that, he urged Rui Ni upstairs, and only left after he saw the lights in the corridor.

Rui Ni's mind kept replaying the words Qi Hao had said before he went upstairs. What did it mean to wait and see in the future? Didn't he know that if he said that, the relationship between the two of them would be very ambiguous?

What's more … Moreover, he had a girlfriend, if he wasn't mistaken, was he trying to trick her?!

Scum! What a loser! Rui Ni shook his head in disgust. He obviously had a girlfriend yet she was still trying to flirt with him. No way, if there was a chance one day, he must persuade that girl first.

But for some reason, when she heard Qi Hao's words, she actually felt moved from the bottom of her heart, and in her heart, she actually secretly looked forward to their next meeting …

After staying in Australia's Performing Academy for less than a week, Helian Di had gained the favor of most of his classmates. Although this kind of academy did not lack beauties, her unique aura quickly became the focus of attention within the academy.

Furthermore, having been in the entertainment circle for so many years, not only had she developed her ability to understand the curriculum, but she had also developed her EQ for dealing with relationships.

Aarser, I am the one who recommended you to study in the academy for two days. It's yours. This is a rare opportunity, you have to cherish it greatly! When he sent the information into the office, the specialized course teacher smiled and patted Helian Di's shoulder.

Helian Di was her favorite student and her right-hand woman, so he would give her priority in such a good thing.

Thank you teacher, I will work hard! She smiled sweetly. Looking at her gentle appearance, no matter who it was, they couldn't help but be moved.

Here, no one knew about her past. She had been given an unwritten rule, an abortion, a divorce … All of this seemed to have never happened before. It was sealed within her memories, she was reborn.

In the new place, she would start over according to the route she had planned out.

Alright, I'll send you the contact details of the teacher leading the team later. The place you're going is your hometown …

Helian Di's head buzzed, he was no longer listening to the rest of the words.

Teacher, you mean … To China? " Her face was pale and her palms were sweating nervously.

Yeah, that's the best film school in China, it seems... In Beijing, right? You should know …" She didn't notice Helian Di's emotions in the slightest, and continued to speak on her own.

Beijing? Helian Di heaved a sigh of relief, but immediately after, his body tensed up again. The synthetic photos that Yang Yan posted on the internet before she left the country had already caused her status in the country to become a rascal. If she returned, the carefully disguised people in the academy would be exposed!

Teacher, the quota has already been set, right? Helian Di asked tentatively.

If not, she could text back later and say that she had something to do that day.

Rest assured, as soon as the document was written, I was the first to announce your name … His teacher mistakenly thought that Helian Di was worried, and smiled meaningfully.

Alright, I understand. Thank you teacher. Her face stiffened, but she forced a smile and walked out of the office, her back straight.

Returning home, he turned on his computer and switched over the server to China's external network.

He typed out the word Helian Di in the search window, and the information came to light. What was strange was that the entertainment news that had splashed him with dirty water had all disappeared, and even the several popular Tian Ya threads had all been deleted.

The Tieba was filled with fans sending their comments and clips of her photos. It was peaceful, without any signs of violence from the internet.

Puzzled, she dialed a number that she hadn't dialed for a long time, but was answered after a few rings.

You took care of it for me? She quickly scrolled through last month's entertainment news, nothing more than a transcript of her new play.

It's good that you know. Stop causing trouble. The man leaned back in his chair. He was in a good mood. He squinted slightly as he looked out of the French window. The sunlight was really good today. Recently, the company's stock market continued to rise, and a few difficult customers also took it down, signing a two-year contract in one go.

CHAPTER 203 - IT IS CALLED HEAVEN'S WILL

Right, help me check how far away this place is from your place … The man opened his mouth again and clicked on an address to send the message.

Seeing the address, Helian Di was slightly surprised. School of Design? Why does this place sound so familiar...

The teacher who led the team to Beijing, China, was a young male teacher. He had elegant golden hair and had an artistic air to him, but he also had a beautiful face. His deep blue eyes seemed to be looking at anyone with deep love, but he was also extremely responsible.

He checked the number of people before boarding the plane. After getting off the plane, he led the students straight to the hotel they had booked beforehand. Along the way, he kept checking the number of people as he was afraid of losing one of them.

Aarser, you grew up in China. Is there anything delicious or fun around here? Take us to take a look! a female student said excitedly as she pushed open the window of the hotel room and looked at the city with a fresh expression.

Sure, let's wait for the academy's activities to end. Helian Di packed his stuff and laughed.

Coming back here was not about familiarity to her. It was about fear.

Although Helian Xun helped her delete all the discussions on the internet, it did not mean that none of those things had happened. She even planned to not step out of the hotel room at all, other than studying at the Academy, or make all sorts of excuses like feigning sickness.

But in the end, she couldn't avoid it. She still had to face it.

Just as he was packing up, the teacher in charge of the team knocked on the door. Girls, get ready to leave. We'll meet downstairs …

As soon as he arrived, the first thing he did after packing his luggage was to meet up with the academy. The two of them could be considered to have a meal together to promote the friendship between the two academies.

Aarser, why are you wearing a mask? Is your face allergic? The girl closed the window and turned around, looking at Helian Di suspiciously.

It's nothing. I just had a cold. She waved her hand and deliberately sniffed before leaving with her bag on her back.

The hotel arranged by the academy wasn't too far away, and they arrived in less than ten minutes. The moment he entered the school gate, Helian Di's heart was somewhat perturbed.

Although she wore a mask, she was still afraid of being recognized. During her time abroad, she had purposely not controlled her diet. Her originally thin body had gained a bit of flesh, and her hair was dyed with blond, so that she could wear a mask without anyone recognizing her.

They arrived just at noon, and the students rushed out of the school building one after another. Although this kind of art academy lacked handsome men and beautiful women the most, they still couldn't help but take a few more glances at the group of blond and blue eyed students from abroad.

Helian Di lowered his head slightly, only relaxing a little when he stepped into the office building.

The process of the small scale meeting was very simple, the domestic academy had assigned a corresponding number of assistants to share with Helian Di and the others one by one. The teachers in charge of communication allowed everyone to introduce themselves before giving everyone more time to get to know each other.

Hello, my name is An. If you have any matters in the country these few days, you can contact me directly. The girl stretched out her hand and looked at Helian Di with a friendly gaze and a very warm smile.

As usual, when he left the academy, it was already dark.

Counting the time, the day after tomorrow would be the international design competition. Chu Yu was still a little unsure. Although her teachers had placed great hopes on her, they believed her to be the most hardworking and gifted of all her trainees.

However, only she knew clearly in her heart that in an international competition like this, the most challenging thing was one's basic skills. Solid professional skills occupied 70% of the factor, and she was the one with the worst foundation. Even though he liked designing, he still had to learn halfway. The hard work of the day after tomorrow wouldn't make up for much. At that time, he would only be able to serve as a cannon fodder.

Thinking about that, Chu Yu suddenly became confused, so what was the point in persevering?

Suddenly, his cellphone rang. A familiar word jumped around on the screen.

School? His deep voice came from the other end of the phone. It sounded as if he were outside, and from time to time he could hear the siren of traffic around him.

Yeah, I just left the academy's entrance … The green light came on, and she strode across the zebra crossing to the other side of the road and along the long path.

Did you miss me? His voice was half joking, half serious. His pitch-black eyes stared outside the windshield as the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

Chu Yu pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. Yes.

She thought that her busy studies would make her unable to care about anything else, but she didn't expect that after class ended and after school ended, when she went to the supermarket to buy things, she would see the person in front of her holding hands. She would think of the man who had accompanied her for a long time.

She would think about whether she should call him on her own when he didn't call, but she was afraid that he would be busy with work, so she tried to restrain her yearning. When he called her, she would neither hurry nor slow down to answer, turning her yearning into a calm tone.

Chu Yu... He suddenly shouted out with his voice raised slightly, causing Chu Yu to subconsciously stop in his tracks, as if he had lost his consciousness for a moment.

Why did his shout sound like it was right behind him? It was probably not because of her fainting in class every day.

Turn back. His voice was low and soft against the phone.

Chu Yu obediently turned around, and when he saw the figure behind him, he instantly froze in place, his face had shock and astonishment, and after a long while he was unable to say anything, but a busy voice came from the other side of the phone.

Under a tree by the side of the road, Xiang Qicheng stood beside a car that had its engine running, looking at her with a shallow smile.

Slightly opening her arms, she reacted and quickly threw herself into his embrace, a familiar smell that enveloped her with a sense of security.

Why does it seem like I've lost weight … Xiang Qicheng held her, and seeing that the person in his embrace had a face so small that it looked like she had a sharp chin, and her originally thin shoulders were now only left with bones, he touched his head and sighed.

When Chu Yu heard these words, she actually buried her face in Xiang Qicheng's embrace with red circles. In the days that she was not here, no one would supervise her eating. Other than the first few days, Rui Ni would often come back late again, so she would usually just randomly buy some bread after school and lose her appetite after eating.

Although Xiang Qicheng would often remind her to eat a good meal on the phone, she was not the same as being by her side.

Last week, Grandmother fell in the garden and hurt herself. She said that she was going to pick some eggplants for you to eat … Xiang Qicheng said softly as he caressed Chu Yu's smooth hair.

CHAPTER 204 - OPEN TO ALL THINGS

She looked up, her face worried. Is it serious?

However, she couldn't stop the guilt in her heart after receiving his reply. She shouldn't have promised Old Lady Xiang that she would return often before leaving the country.

After getting on the carriage, Zuo Lin was actually there too.

Sister-in-law. Zuo Lin nodded his head and greeted politely from the driver's seat. Chu Yu immediately thought back to when he hugged Xiang Qicheng under the tree and he could clearly see her position, so he couldn't help but blush and say yes before getting onto the back seat.

After getting in the car, Chu Yu realized that she had forgotten to call Rui Ni. In a while, she would go back to her apartment to get some clothes and skin care before following Xiang Qicheng back to the villa.

How long are you here this time? She looked up at him, expectant and cautious.

I'll stay as long as you want. He pampered Chu Yu so much that he wanted to pinch her cheeks, but she avoided it in time. She looked in the direction of Zuo Lin, pretending to be angry at him, then smiled to herself.

The shadow of the street lamp outside the window kept moving back on the two of them. Chu Yu occasionally raised his eyes and met Xiang Qicheng's gaze. The two of them laughed, their hearts becoming closer and closer to each other, even the air was sweet.

When he arrived at the villa, his phone rang before he could pack his things.

Chu Yu, I've asked a friend out for dinner. Dinner will be settled by you … Rui Ni's loud and carefree voice came out from the other side of the phone, causing Xiang Qicheng who was standing at the side to frown.

Ah, good … Rui Ni, Xiang Qicheng is in Australia, I just took some of the things away from the apartment, I'll go back to get the rest when I have time … " Chu Yu said uneasily, afraid that Rui Ni would say that he had seen sex and forgot his friends on the phone.

Fortunately, she only asked a few unimportant questions and then hung up, as though there was something urgent on the other side. Chu Yu then heaved a sigh of relief.

Is that how she takes care of you? Seeing Chu Yu hang up, Xiang Qicheng asked in displeasure.

Hearing Rui Ni's tone on the phone, it seemed that it was not the first time such a situation had happened. She had already left Chu Yu alone at home after making an appointment with a friend.

Hmm? No, I'm so hungry. What are we waiting for? I really want to eat pickled fish … "Seeing that his expression wasn't right, Chu Lian quickly changed the topic and looked pitifully at Xiang Xi Cheng.

She was sick of sandwich burgers every day and missed the Chinese food in her hometown very much.

Then let's wait and eat the fish. He knew that she was changing the topic, but he still followed through with her words. There was a bit of a pamper in his tone, as well as a hint of helplessness. His eyes were filled with gentleness.

After packing up and leaving the villa, Zuo Lin directly drove towards the city center.

The pickled fish was a Chinese cuisine. Almost all the restaurants nearby were Western. Only the more prosperous city center had Chinese restaurants. After following Xiang Qicheng to Australia so many times, even without navigating, Zuo Lin was already very familiar with the road here.

It was 8: 30 in the evening when he arrived at the city center. Fortunately, there were not many people at dinner time, so Chu Yu immediately saw a Chinese restaurant on the first floor with a big fish painted on the signboard.

The restaurant's layout was wide and bright, although it was not lunch time, there were a lot of customers, it was with much difficulty that Chu Yu found a table for three and sat down.

Other than the fish, what else do you want to eat? Xiang Qicheng ordered a large portion of sour fish.

That is … Rui Ni? " Chu Yu suddenly opened his mouth and stared at a table not far away.

Xiang Qicheng followed her line of sight and saw a girl wearing a tea-colored dress with her back facing her direction. She was faintly smiling from the side, her large round earrings shaking along with her body, making her look very eye-catching.

Even though he had only seen Rui Ni before, he was sure that the woman was Rui Ni. Her movements were the same as her dressing style and the curve of her mouth when she smiled.

Who's the man across from her? You have a new boyfriend? Xiang Xi looked at the man sitting opposite Rui Ni. His handsome face had a warm smile, but his body emitted a steadiness that didn't match his age. He wore a dark blue suit as if he had just come from some important event.

I don't know either … Chu Yu frowned as he tried to recall where he had seen this man before. He was extremely familiar with this man …

Restaurant! Boss Qi!

She opened her eyes wide in shock, looking at the two who were not far away with smiles on their faces, she could not believe what she was seeing. And how did they get in touch after that day?

Thinking about it this way, Chu Yu suddenly felt a little disappointed in his heart.

It looked like this was not the first time the two of them were eating together. So it was this friend that Rui Ni mentioned to him every time they met on the phone that they were having dinner together, and their relationship was also … It didn't seem like just friends.

Why didn't Rui Ni tell him? He would tell her everything at once, but she would hide it from him.

The more Chu Yu thought about it, the more upset he became, the more the meal became, it was boring and she would look towards the direction of Rui Ni's table from time to time, only retracting her gaze after Rui Ni and Qi Hao had paid the bill.

She might be afraid you'd think too much about it, or that it might be too late to tell you. Xiang Qicheng placed a piece of fish into Chu Yu's bowl and said casually.

Seeing how absent-minded she was after eating the entire meal, he knew what she was thinking without even asking.

He shouldn't have hidden it from me for so long, right? He even said that he was eating with a friend … Chu Yu's face was filled with unhappiness, he picked up the fish and put it down, affected by the events of tonight, he almost had no appetite.

Maybe he's really just a friend? Xiang Qicheng smiled at her, then added: Maybe she was afraid that you would think too much, so she didn't tell you.

Is that really the case? Chu Yu sighed and put down his chopsticks.

Outside the apartment building, a car stopped and Rui Ni got out of the car with his high heels. He closed the car door and smiled as he turned around: Thank you, I was supposed to treat you today …

I didn't expect the boss to be my friend. Qi Hao smiled as he took over her words. Standing under the street lamp by the car, a warm yellow light shone onto his left shoulder.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed. After pausing for a while, the atmosphere between them suddenly became ambiguous.

Qi Hao lowered his head slightly, as he got closer and closer to her. In the silent night, only the bugs in the bushes behind were crying non-stop, and Rui Ni felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Then... I'm going up first! You need to be careful. She quickly pushed him away and walked into the district. She held her heart with one hand and breathed heavily. She didn't dare to look back at him.

Qi Hao was someone who had a girlfriend, so he had to wake up a little and not continue acting like this.

However, he was like a swamp. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank …

CHAPTER 205 - THE OPPORTUNITY HAS COME

After all, they were going out to study, and the courses organized by the Academy were not many. The rest of the classes that they took in the morning were all for their own private time, so Helian Di naturally could not escape the fate of the girls in the same group begging for her to take them out to play.

Then let's go to the art gallery. It's near here. Helpless, she could only agree, and the group of people grandiosely headed towards the art center.

The time to arrive was around 2pm, which coincided with the time when the exhibition hall was just opened. There was no one inside, Helian Di heaved a sigh of relief and led everyone inside.

You guys take a look first, I'm going to the washroom … Upstairs, he saw that more and more people were pouring in from the entrance. Helian Di was anxious, and quickly walked towards the other side of the corridor.

At the corner of the street, his eyes suddenly turned black and before he could even react, he bumped into someone.

Sorry, I didn't mean to … Uncle Xiang? " She shouted in surprise, disbelief written all over her face. A few years ago, when Chu Yu was disfigured and became a servant of the Xiang Family, she was quite close with Xiang Qicheng and had even met him a few times due to their family's relationship.

Wasn't Xiang Han standing right in front of him? A few bodyguards surrounded him, looking at him vigilantly.

China was such a big place, Helian Di never would have thought that he would run into Xiang Han here.

Xiang Han frowned and stared at her for a good while, then his gaze stopped for a moment, as if he remembered something, and even his strict gaze became a lot gentler: Little He? I haven't seen you in so many years, uncle will soon not be able to recognize you.

A few years ago, Elder He had even jokingly mentioned the matter of Xiang He's marriage. Although it was just a joke, Xiang Han had always kept it in mind after so many years had passed.

Helian Di was obedient, beautiful and sensible. The most important thing was that the He family had a lot of power and influence, if the two families could get married, they would definitely be able to rule the world.

My big brother sent me away to study. He rarely comes back. When I'm free, I'll go and play chess with Uncle Xiang again. Helian Di lowered his eyebrows, his face carrying a tranquil smile, his every move releasing a sense of elegance.

I'm afraid he'll be bringing his boyfriend along then? Xiang Han smiled as he tried to probe.

Helian Di's face reddened, and she quickly shook her head: How is that possible Uncle Xiang, for the time being, my studies and career are the top priority, I don't think about other things …

Good, good … However, it is time to consider … Xiang Han laughed, and nodded his head in satisfaction at Helian Di, before leaving with another sentence, causing Helian Di to be at a loss on where he stood.

When he returned to the place where everyone was waiting, he saw that Xiang Han and his group had entered the Exhibition Center's conference room. Helian Di was shocked that this art exhibition was possibly opened by Xiang Han.

When Chu Yu just came out of the teaching building, he saw the substitute Rui Ni.

Rui Ni... Shall we go eat together? She walked up to Rui Ni and intimately held his arm and asked.

Unexpectedly, Rui Ni seemed to be shocked, he raised his head, eyes dodging as he slowed down his footsteps: No need, I have something to do, you go with Xiang Qicheng. After he finished, he hurriedly walked out of the school building with Chu Yu behind him.

Looking at the back of Rui Ni, who was walking away, Chu Yu was stunned on the spot. A wave of bitterness swelled up in his heart, and there were many questions in his mind that he did not know how to ask.

After walking out of the school's gate, Rui Ni saw a familiar car parked by the side of the road. His footsteps were hesitating, and after pausing for a while, he walked towards the car.

What do you want to eat? The car window slowly lowered, and Qi Hao's face that was covered by sunglasses appeared in front of her. She looked at with a smile, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Qi Hao... Rui Ni bit his lips and stood outside the carriage, calling his full name for the first time.

The hot noon sun was on her body. She was so focused on protecting herself from the sun that she actually forgot to use an umbrella.

Hesitation, hesitation, reluctance, sadness … All sorts of complicated feelings were mixed together, and for a moment, he didn't know how to reply.

Hmm? What's wrong?" Realizing that something was wrong with Rui Ni, Qi Hao got out of the carriage and asked with concern.

In the future … Stop contacting me, right … She looked down at the toes of her shoes and almost burst into tears. In her heart, she had never felt so uncomfortable before. In the days she had spent with Qi Hao, she was very sure that she liked him.

He was humorous, mature, and would always make himself happy. As long as he stayed with Qi Hao, he would always be happy. But Rui Ni did not forget that he was someone who had a girlfriend. They had even met the girl called Full Moon before.

Therefore, every time she went out with Qi Hao alone, she would feel uneasy, and even feel guilty. If it was like this, what was the difference between her and Little San? They repeatedly promised Qi Hao that they would eat outside. In fact, when Qi Hao sent her back that night, they almost kissed …

Why? His face was filled with surprise and puzzlement.

Rui Ni took a deep breath, to the point of forcing back his tears, he looked up and stared straight into Qi Hao's eyes: Do you think it's appropriate for us to do this?

He clearly knew that Ye Zichen had a girlfriend, but every time Ye Zichen sent a message to ask him out for a meal, he would still attend the appointment despite feeling guilty, and even deliberately dress up for a bit.

She hated being so selfish.

Wh … What do you mean? Qi Hao only felt that he was confused, facing Rui Ni's strange questioning, he did not even know what happened.

Nothing, just don't contact me again in the future. Don't call me and send me messages. I don't want to waste any more time on matters between us. Seeing Qi Hao's reaction, she was even more sure that he was a trash of a man.

Rui Ni... He took her wrist, but there was a rare note of anxiety in his voice.

He admitted that from the moment he saw Rui Ni, he was extremely interested in this hot-tempered girl. Regardless of whether it was the first time he met her in hot pursuit or the pea incident in the restaurant, or when he accompanied her to deliver the information to her later, he accidentally discovered that she had a gentle, generous and decent side.

If you can't see her, you will miss her. As long as you have her at work, you will be exhausted. This... Is it love?

He had never liked girls before, but Rui Ni was the first one, so he had always carefully hidden that deep in his heart, and only dared to take it out when the time was right.

But now, what
