Chapter 424

He just wanted to save his life. He only hoped to survive the day the plot-driven death came, instead of dying inexplicably due to some random accident.

Qiao Xinying is the most important of all the female protagonists. If you can get rid of her, it's equivalent to dealing with the most troublesome boss.

But he can't force her to break off the engagement yet, since he doesn't know what trouble might arise if he doesn't follow the script.

If his excessive interference causes Qiao Xinying and Nan Zhu's meeting to fail (just like He Xue's ), then he will really have nowhere to cry.

Therefore, he has no way to force Qiao Xinying to break off the engagement. He can only let things take their course and wait for her to get bored and speak up.

But to be honest, he now desperately wants Qiao Xinying to change her mind and call off the engagement on the spot.

If the other party dares to bring it up, he can immediately take Qiao Xinying to find Wu Xingsheng and explain the whole story clearly.

"You actually care about me? It seems you've really changed a lot in the years I've been away from you."

"At least you're no longer as self-centered as before, completely disregarding other people's feelings."

Qiao Xinying felt a warmth in her heart when she heard that Wu Liang was considering the marriage proposal from her perspective.

This guy actually spoke up for her and helped her analyze the impact of the proposed marriage on her.

This is really... this is really surprising...

"No... I didn't... Don't talk nonsense..."

Wu Liang stared at Qiao Xinying in front of him with twitching eyes. There was no trace of dislike towards Wu Liang in her eyes.

However, since she has already returned to Yanghai City, it means that Qiao Xinying has already met Qiao Xinying and entered the academy.

Does this mean that Qiao Xinying and Nan Zhu might meet soon...?

"Hey, you haven't replied to me yet."

"What should I reply to you?"

"It's about the apology I gave you before, and you still haven't responded to me."

Qiao Xinying lightly tapped the table with her hand, making a crisp sound. Her beautiful pink eyes reflected Wu Liang's handsome face.

When did that disheveled, unkempt boy become so handsome...?

Chapter 86: How Can I Lose When My Childhood Sweetheart Falls From the Sky?

"This is absolutely the worst-case scenario."

Hidden in the corner, Yao Shi silently watched a group of people at a table not far ahead.

She never expected that Miss Qiao Xinying would suddenly appear here and start talking to the young master.

They never expected that the young master would behave so calmly and naturally in front of Miss Qiao Xinying, without showing the slightest sign of panic.

Young Master Mingming used to be terrified of Miss Qiao Xinying, but now he acts like an ordinary friend.

This left Yao Shi feeling very puzzled and confused, even though the young master had indeed undergone a qualitative transformation.

But logically speaking, the fear that the young master has for Qiao Xinying is so deeply ingrained that it is impossible to completely erase it in a short period of time.

Moreover, Miss Qiao Xinying suddenly appeared in front of the young master, who was completely unprepared. However, the harmonious development at that moment was beyond her expectations.

"Yao Shi... who is that guy... why does she seem so close to the young master..."

Milutin frowned as he looked at the silver-haired girl sitting in front of Wu Liang.

Who is that child who suddenly appeared? Why does he act so familiar with the young master?

She was certain that she did not know the girl and had never seen her appear by the young master's side before.

Who is this silver-haired girl who appeared out of nowhere, like a magician appearing out of nowhere? And why does Yao Shi seem to know her so well?

"That is Miss Qiao Xinying, the adopted daughter of Ms. Qiao Ranxin, and also Young Master Wu Liang's nominal fiancée."

"When the young master was very young, Mr. Wu Xingsheng and Ms. Qiao Ranxin arranged a marriage between them when they were young."

"It's normal that you don't know about this, after all, this is a very secret matter for both the young master and the master."

Yao Shi turned her head and glanced at Milutin, who was lying on top of her and muttering incessantly, before slowly beginning to explain.

It would be the worst possible scenario if Miss Qiao Xinying were to meet the young master here, as he is unaware that Miss Su Qian is now the young master's fake lover.

From Miss Qiao Xinying's perspective, she would definitely regard Miss Su Qian as the young master's lover.

If that's the case, it would be a huge misunderstanding. Perhaps Miss Qiao Xinying would get angry and take the initiative to break off the engagement.

After all, her fiancé now has a real lover, so as his fiancée, Ms. Qiao Xinying naturally felt completely ignored and extremely embarrassed.

Although Miss Qiao Xinying received some guidance, she still harbored some doubts about the young master.

Now that I've seen Miss Su Qian and the young master together, my previous conversation with Miss Qiao Xinying will be completely meaningless.

Miss Qiao Xinying will definitely think she's been tricked by the young master, and then angrily leave the table to go and discuss a refund with Master Wu Xingsheng...

"I've changed my mind. I don't want to break off the engagement yet."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Shi was stunned and stood there blankly, unsure of what to do.

She craned her neck, staring blankly at the table of people in front of her, not even knowing what to say to express her feelings.

Although Miss Qiao Xinying spoke very softly, she did hear the words "I don't want to break off the engagement."

That's certainly a good idea, but why is that? Why would Miss Qiao Xinying...?

"Ha!! You're saying she's the young master's fiancé... Waaaaaah!!!"

Just as Milutin was about to loudly retort after hearing Yao Shi's explanation, Han Yu behind him suddenly covered his mouth tightly.

It could only make whimpering sounds and frantically wave its arms to express its dissatisfaction.

"Miss Milutin, if you speak too loudly, Wu Liang and the others will notice..."

Ning Shuang covered her forehead, looking helpless, and pulled on Milutin's arm, which was waving wildly.

This guy's reaction is way too much. It's a good thing you're a woman in your twenties. Can't you be a little calmer?

Our group was already on a secret mission, and if Wu Liang finds out by making such a fuss, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

"Yao Shi, how come I didn't know Wu Liang had a fiancée? You'd better explain this to me clearly."

Han Yu covered Milutin's mouth tightly, staring at Yao Shi.

What's going on here? Where did that woman named Qiao Xinying come from?

Qiao Ranxin's adopted daughter? The daughter of that elusive principal?

Damn it, having Yao Shi as the biggest competitor was already troublesome enough.

How did Qiao Xinying suddenly appear? And she's even Wu Liang's nominal fiancée? Is this a game-changer right from the start?

"Childhood sweethearts... an engagement made in childhood... after many years of separation... and then suddenly returning to Yanghai City to find Wu Liang..."

"Everyone says childhood sweethearts can't beat a wife who falls from the sky, but who can resist a childhood sweetheart falling from the sky..."

Standing at the very back, He Xue stirred her slender fingers and murmured excitedly.

This plot development is just too exciting! New sisters have joined this fierce battle!

Moreover, Ms. Qiao Xinying's appearance was a bombshell, plus four twos. The combination of fiancée, childhood sweetheart, and long-lost relationship immediately shook Han Yu and Yao Shi's firm position as number one.

It's getting more and more interesting; more and more people are joining in, and the battle for Wu Liang is becoming increasingly fun.

"Han Yu, I don't know much about Miss Qiao Xinying either."

"If we're talking about who understands Miss Qiao Xinying the most, then it's probably only Young Master among us."

Yao Shi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know Qiao Xinying very well either, since she had only talked with her for a short period of ten minutes.

Those who truly understand Miss Qiao Xinying should look to Young Master Wu Liang, since they were the closest of friends when they were children.

Do you think that woman will fall for Wu Liang?

Han Yu smacked her lips disdainfully as she looked at Qiao Xinying's face. "Another shameless philanderer."

"No, Miss Qiao Xinying will not fall in love with the young master... at least not in the short term."

Yao Shi denied Han Yu's words, but as if caught in a dilemma, she added this sentence after a moment of silence.

It is an undeniable fact that Miss Qiao Xinying has no romantic feelings for the young master, but this does not mean that Miss Qiao Xinying will think about it in the future.

After all, there is a living example right in front of them, and President Su Qian is the best example.

"I don't like that woman."

Han Yu said with dissatisfaction, she really disliked the fake smile on Qiao Xinying's face...

Chapter 87: Wu Liang Through Qiao Xinying's Eyes

"I didn't take what happened in the park to heart, especially since I had problems at the time."

When Qiao Xinying brought up what happened at the park, Wu Liang covered his forehead and smiled helplessly.

The thought that Qiao Xinying was Qiao Ranxin's daughter left him with no reason to be angry.

To be honest, the fact that Qiao Xinying only scolded him was already beyond Wu Liang's expectations.

If you put yourself in his shoes, you'll understand. If someone dared to speak ill of Mu Xinrou in front of him, he probably wouldn't be able to hold back and would punch that person on the spot.

This shows that Qiao Xinying is really well-mannered; at least the other party didn't physically punish him at the time.

"So, can I take that to mean you've already forgiven me?"

"You've forgiven me for my rudeness towards you in the park, can I take that as true?"

Qiao Xinying rested her chin on her hand and smiled as she looked at Wu Liang, who seemed a little embarrassed.

She never imagined that one day she would be able to communicate with the other person so naturally and amicably.

It felt like a conversation between friends, completely devoid of the dislike I used to feel towards the other person.

It has to be said that Wu Liang has really changed a lot, to the point that she no longer recognizes him at all, and he has become a very unfamiliar person to her.

She simply couldn't connect the Wu Liang in front of her with the brat from before; they were like two completely opposite beings.

But she didn't dislike the feeling she was experiencing; in fact, she even found herself somewhat fond of the polite and handsome young man before her.

At least she felt a good impression of him, and becoming friends with someone like Wu Liang would be a good choice, Qiao Xinying thought to herself.

"I'm already thankful that you didn't mind what I said back then."

Wu Liang shrugged and shook his head bitterly. It was truly a miracle that he could have such a normal conversation with Qiao Xinying.

In his past memories, the Qiao Xinying he knew was a queen who liked to pin him to the ground, step on his head, and talk to him.

His childhood memories are gradually awakening, and the adorable yet domineering image of Qiao Xinying from his childhood is slowly taking shape deep in his mind.

If he remembers correctly, his childhood was almost entirely spent in the shadow of Qiao Xinying.

Qiao Xinying's queen-like dominance left him unable to resist; at the time, he was just a child in her hands, like a living toy.

Every day was either being bullied by the other party or on the way to being bullied by the other party. At that time, Wu Liang was completely under Qiao Xinying and was in a very miserable state.

Wu Liang was also certain that Qiao Xinying had always hated him, considering him the most disgusting bug in the world.

But the two of them are now sitting face to face, reading books and having a normal conversation, just like two close friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.

"It's like the sun has risen in the west..."

Wu Liang touched the tip of his nose and murmured softly, "It's really unbelievable that Qiao Xinying can be so gentle to him in broad daylight."

Qiao Xinying used to beat him up every time she saw him, but now that she hasn't been able to, he's actually feeling a bit out of sorts.

"Can I confirm one thing? Who exactly is Su Qian to you? Judging from the way you two were acting just now, it doesn't seem like you're just ordinary friends."

"Could it be that the two of you really... really have that kind of relationship...?"

Qiao Xinying's gaze fell on Su Qian, who hadn't said much since the beginning.

She could tell that Su Qian had been behaving strangely ever since she learned that she was Wu Liang's fiancée.

Could it be because she's bothered by her status as his fiancée, and therefore feels that Wu Liang has deceived her feelings...?
