“Senior Gu Xuan, it’s Senior Gu Xuan...”
“I thought I would never see him again after he graduated. Who would have thought I’d bump into him at the school gate on the first day of school? Oh my gosh, I’m so excited!”
“What are you excited about? He’s here to meet Senior Ruan, not you. He’s still so kind toward Senior Ruan, I envy them so much.”
“Yeah, they look like a perfect match. They’re just like Romeo and Juliet!”
A series of discussions were heard from all around.
Each student who passed by them would look at them with eyes full of envy.
In contrast, Ruan Mengmeng, who was at the scene as well, was being looked at with eyes full of disgust. Some even ignored her presence.
This was because everybody at Wisdom Academy knew that they were a pair of childhood sweethearts who had been the president and vice-president of the students’ council for the past two semesters.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs for Ruan Mengmeng...
I’m sorry, but who was she...?
In the eyes of the school, she was just a transfer student who did not get into Wisdom Academy like everybody else as well as a notorious sister who liked to bully Ruan Jiaojiao.
“Mengmeng, I heard from Jiaojiao that you ran away from home?” There was not a trace of guilt on Gu Xuan’s face when he saw Ruan Mengmeng.
Instead, he acted as if nothing had happened between them, and pretended to care about Ruan Mengmeng while hugging Ruan Jiaojiao with his arm over her shoulder.
Although he had called off the engagement with Ruan Mengmeng, according to Gu Xuan, it was the family’s decision, and he was forced to do so.
Even so, he still had feelings for Ruan Mengmeng.
“It’s none of your business. Please let me through.” Ruan Mengmeng was not in the mood to argue with this ‘b*itch couple’.
As she was in a hurry to earn money, she grabbed Mu Jingxing’s hand and was about to walk through the crowd.
Suddenly, a pure voice filled with sadness made her stopped in her tracks.
“Sister, how can you talk to Brother Gu Xuan like that? Even if you’re angry at him because of me, you shouldn’t be so impolite.”
Leaning weakly in Gu Xuan’s arms, Ruan Jiaojiao said suddenly, her eyes blurry as though they were covered in a mist of tears. It seemed as if she would cry at any moment.
Her expression was as if Ruan Mengmeng had just wrongly accused her of something terrible.
However, in actuality, Ruan Mengmeng had not said anything to her.
“Mengmeng, stop acting like a spoiled child. You’re her elder sister, so why can’t you be a little bit more understanding like your younger sister? Look, Jiaojiao is about to cry because of you.” Gu Xuan furrowed his eyebrows and said with a disapproving look.
In his eyes, Ruan Mengmeng would always be a spoiled and demanding young girl.
Seeing that Ruan Mengmeng did not respond, Gu Xuan assumed that she was still no different from her old self, whereby she was afraid that she would make him unhappy.
Sighing deeply, Gu Xuan said solemnly, “Be a good girl, okay? It’s dangerous for you to be alone in the outside world, with no one to depend on.
“How about this, I’ll take you home and apologize to Aunty and Uncle personally. Don’t worry, although you the incident of you pushing Aunty down the stairs is quite a serious matter, I’m sure she’ll forgive you as both mother and son are all well and good. I’m sure they’ll let bygones be bygones once you’ve apologized to them properly. Anyway, this should teach you a lesson to stop acting so rashly from now on.”
Gu Xuan ‘defended’ her just like the old times.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was so kind and gentle, and he always spoke in an understanding tone as though she was a kid who made a silly mistake.
Ruan Mengmeng who used to adore him so much, not only did not think that something was off in his tone, she even felt that Gu Xuan was protecting her as he really cared for her.
However, now...
Ruan Mengmeng who was now clearly aware of his personality felt so stupid as if her brain had been stomped over by a donkey.
“Go ahead if you want to apologize, don’t pull me into it. I haven’t done anything wrong anyway... Let me pass.”
Ruan Mengmeng, who was being stopped in her tracks by Gu Xuan, now felt that Gu Xuan was an eyesore.
She went around Gu Xuan and Ruan Jiaojiao and was about to leave the scene.
“Mengmeng, why have you become like this?!” Gu Xuan turned to the side and stopped Ruan Mengmeng from leaving.
The lines between his dark eyebrows were even more obvious now.
Ruan Mengmeng who was about to leave was stopped in her tracks.
The corner of her lips curled up as she turned around and flashed him a smile.
The shallow dimple on her cheek made her look even more charming.
“Hmm, I don’t quite get what’re you saying here. Exactly how did I change? Am I more beautiful or have I become uglier? Or, was I not as obedient to you as before, and it’s making you uncomfortable?”
