Ji Qinglan had now gained a deep understanding of just how thick-skinned Xiao Bei was.

But when it came to Xiao Bei, she still said directly, "Husband tastes good!"

Xiao Bei chuckled smugly. Look, this was his Wife—how wonderful.

The two of them enjoyed their breakfast.

After eating, they left Ji Qinglan's home.

Just as they got into the car, Ji Qinglan seemed to remember something and said to Xiao Bei, "Husband, I'll send you the secret to my house!"

With that, she lowered her head and sent the password to Xiao Bei.

Xiao Bei was delighted to hear that. Still, while being a pretty boy was nice, he didn't want to be one. Perfect—he could use the National Day holiday to buy a house. Mm... he needed to change cars too. A tycoon's car had to be impressive.

At Hangcheng Academy of Fine Arts, Ji Qinglan had a large lecture that morning, so she dragged Xiao Bei along with her.

That was how university classes worked. Aside from smaller specialized courses, anyone could sit in on the big lectures.

Xiao Bei didn't show off by driving directly into the academy. Instead, he parked in the usual spot.

Then he and Ji Qinglan walked hand in hand toward the academy.

Inside lecture hall A301 at Hangcheng Academy of Fine Arts.

One of Ji Qinglan's roommates, Zhang Yi, was sitting in the back of the lecture hall, chatting with a handsome young man.

"You're saying Ji Qinglan got together with a freshman from the school next door?"

The man looked displeased. His name was He Meng.

A third-year student and another prominent figure at Hangcheng Academy of Fine Arts, he was rich and handsome—and Ji Qinglan's most fervent pursuer.

"Yeah, they got together. Last night, they supposedly went to a dinner gathering together, and she didn't come back to the dorm that night!"

"Heh, what punk is this? He dares steal He Meng's woman?"

He Meng's face darkened as he glanced at Zhang Yi.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi continued to stir the pot. "I heard that guy, Xiao Bei, doesn't come from a simple family either. He drives an S63!"

"Tch. Even an S63 is just a lousy Mercedes. It can't compare to my Lamborghini!"

He Meng was dismissive, carrying the pride of a Hangcheng local and looking down on outsiders.

Although he didn't know where Xiao Bei was from, he definitely wasn't from Hangcheng. After all, among the second-generation rich circle in all of Hangcheng, he couldn't say he knew everyone, but there really wasn't anyone named Xiao Bei.

Zhang Yi looked at He Meng and smiled faintly. She also felt that freshman was probably no match for He Meng.

Just as the two were chatting, the entire lecture hall suddenly erupted.

Ji Qinglan walked into the lecture hall hand in hand with a young man.

"Damn, the Campus Belle really has a boyfriend now!"

"The guy's handsome, the girl's gorgeous. They really make a pair!"

"This is going to be interesting!"

"Hm?"

"He Meng is here today too. He's Ji Qinglan's most fervent pursuer!"

"Right, right! That guy's definitely in for a bad time later!"

"Not necessarily. I saw the Campus Hot Search. That guy has some backing too!"

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions.

At that moment, He Meng, sitting several rows from the back, saw Ji Qinglan holding hands with a pretty boy, and his expression immediately darkened.

"Well, looks like the two of them spent the whole night together yesterday!" Zhang Yi said it as though it had slipped out unconsciously, but she was actually saying it for He Meng to hear.

She wanted to see He Meng cause trouble for Ji Qinglan's boyfriend later.

For no other reason than that she found Ji Qinglan irritating!

If He Meng could scare the guy off, it would prove that Ji Qinglan's taste wasn't all that great.

If he couldn't, then she would make her move on this handsome little brother!

Either way, she had nothing to lose.

Ji Qinglan led Xiao Bei to a seat in the back on the right side.

The moment they sat down, Xiao Bei quietly whispered into Ji Qinglan's ear, "Wife, with so many girls at the academy, you're really not worried about bringing me here?"

"You can try?" Ji Qinglan revealed a confident smile.

Xiao Bei smiled slightly as he looked at Ji Qinglan's confident expression. Mm, this little girl was really charming!

On the other side, several of He Meng's buddies also noticed the interaction between Xiao Bei and Ji Qinglan.

Qian Hui bumped He Meng with his shoulder. "Who's that guy? He stole your woman. You're not planning to teach him a lesson?"

There was a hint of disdain in Qian Hui's tone. He saw Xiao Bei as a soft target who didn't know his place.

As soon as Qian Hui finished speaking, another man sitting beside He Meng chimed in, "Pretty-boy, but honestly, he's much more handsome than you, Meng."

"Chen Ming, if you don't know how to talk, then talk less. So what if he's more handsome than me?" He Meng grumbled at Chen Ming. From that alone, it was clear Chen Ming was no pushover either.

"Ah, what kind of heavenly boyfriend did Lanlan find? He's so handsome!"

Zhang Yi added fuel to the fire again, speaking with deliberate envy.

No one else knew that Zhang Yi disliked Ji Qinglan. Now that He Meng heard Zhang Yi's words, he froze.

Then he glared at Xiao Bei, fury rising within him.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he stood up.

Xiao Bei was still flirting with Ji Qinglan, completely unaware that where he was sitting was about to become the center of attention for the entire classroom.

The moment He Meng stood up, the people around him began cheering him on. "Brother Meng, the honor of the Fine Arts Academy depends on you! We can't let some guy from another school steal away our school's number one goddess, can we?"

"Brother Meng, don't chicken out. We all know what you're capable of."

After being hyped up by everyone, He Meng's confidence and courage soared. He swaggered over to Xiao Bei and Ji Qinglan.

"Lanlan, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you at school in ages. And this is?"

Xiao Bei had been talking to Ji Qinglan when, out of nowhere, a man walked over and stopped beside him. The man did not even look at Xiao Bei, keeping his eyes fixed on Ji Qinglan the entire time.

The Fine Arts Academy students in the classroom who had been watching this unfold all became excited.

"It's happening, it's happening! He Meng is making his move!"

"This is going to be good!"

"He Meng is handsome too, and his family background isn't bad. That black Lamborghini at school belongs to him!"

"I'm suddenly kind of worried about that junior brother!"

Ji Qinglan frowned slightly as she looked at He Meng. "Do I need to report to you wherever I go?"

He Meng seemed to have grown accustomed to Ji Qinglan's cold words. Instead of getting angry, he smiled and said, "Lanlan, I'm just worried about you. Oh, right, Zhang Yi said you didn't return to the dorm last night. Did you go home?"

"None of your business!"

Ji Qinglan gave He Meng no face at all. Xiao Bei watched his wife tear into someone from the side and burst out laughing.

He never expected there to be a simp hanging around his wife!

Hearing Xiao Bei laugh, He Meng immediately shifted his gaze from Ji Qinglan to Xiao Bei, and the smile on his face vanished.

"Bro, I haven't seen you around before. Where are you from?"
