Chapter 446

Wu Xingsheng didn't know what he was feeling when he left the rooftop, and he also forgot the words he said to Qiao Ranxin before leaving.

All he could remember was that Qiao Ranxin gave him a gentle smile, as tender as melting spring snow, before she left.

He had never seen such a relieved smile on Qiao Ranxin's face before, as if she had now let go of all her burdens and broken free from all constraints.

Her smile was so pure and beautiful; her innate charm suddenly made her seem like a pure young girl, making people want to hug and cherish her.

The innate allure she possessed vanished, replaced only by the heartfelt sincerity she showed when bidding farewell to her friends.

Just as Qiao Ranxin said, she would no longer be confined by the name Wu Xingsheng, nor would Wu Xingsheng have any extra feelings for it.

If that description is a bit hard to understand, then to put it more bluntly, he has been dumped by Qiao Ranxin.

From now on, Wu Xingsheng will no longer hold any place in Qiao Ranxin's heart.

Qiao Ranxin has lost all interest in him, and the only thing she still has is the feeling of friendship; she has no other intentions.

"She has truly let go of everything from the past and stepped into a new life."

As Wu Xingsheng walked down the street, he turned around to look at the building behind him, then looked up at the top floor of the building and smiled faintly.

Although he didn't express his apology to Qiao Ranxin at the very end, given the current situation, there's no need to apologize anymore.

Qiao Ranxin is very smart, extremely smart. She must have already guessed why she was called out today.

So she never shifted the topic to herself, but instead kept talking about Wu Liang.

He had to admit that Qiao Ranxin was a good woman, a beauty who could drive men all over the world crazy.

If someone manages to marry a wife like this, he must have been a hero who saved the world in his past life.

"Well, isn't my Xinrou cute too? Hahahaha!!!"

Suddenly realizing he was feeling a little disappointed, Wu Xingsheng quickly reached out and slapped his cheeks twice.

It's a good thing that Qiao Ranxin is able to move on from the past, no longer be bound by Wu Xingsheng, and start her life anew.

He didn't need to be sad here; instead, he should be happy that Qiao Ranxin could enjoy her new life in the future.

Well, the person I needed to see has been seen, and although I couldn't say what I wanted to say, the final outcome was undoubtedly the most perfect.

I should pack my things and head back. I have to take a flight early tomorrow morning, and it's exhausting. I should rest now while I can...

"It seems you've finished your conversation, sir."

Yao Qing, who had been waiting there for a long time, was particularly eye-catching wearing a Doraemon pajama set.

He casually leaned against a telephone pole and waved to Wu Xingsheng. His handsome face and slender figure attracted the attention of many young girls.

How did you get here?

Wu Xingsheng hadn't expected Yao Qing to be waiting for him here. How did she know he was here?

He didn't tell anyone he invited Qiao Ranxin to meet here. What's wrong with this guy...?

"As your servant, I naturally have to be available whenever you call and fulfill my duties. You can think of it as a deep bond between you and me, sir."

"No matter where you are, sir, I can clearly sense you! How about that? Aren't you moved?"

Yao Qing, her face flushed and blushing, spoke with exaggerated expressions and seductive movements, making one wonder if she had a serious mental illness.

"I didn't come here to watch you act silly."

Wu Xingsheng, indicating that he didn't want to waste his breath arguing with Yao Qing right now.

It's getting late, we should go back and rest for a while.

"Has Ms. Qiao Ranxin let go of the past? Has she given up on you, sir?"

Seeing Wu Xingsheng's exhausted appearance, Yao Qing stopped being funny and looked at Wu Xingsheng with a smile.

It seems that Qiao Ranxin and the old man have finally parted ways, and their entanglement over the years has finally come to an end.

"Ah, we're just ordinary friends now. Maybe Wu Liang is more attractive to her than Wu Xingsheng."

"And she even jokingly said, 'If, by any chance, I really do fall for your son, then you and Xinrou will have to treat this older daughter-in-law well, okay?'"

Wu Xingsheng scratched his head and smiled faintly. This was indeed Qiao Ranxin's style. If she said these things, then there was no doubt about it.

Not only Qiao Ranxin, but even Xinrou had commented on him in this way, saying that in many ways, he was far less outstanding as a father than his son.

But no matter what, what Qiao Ranxin said to him at the end still sent a chill down his spine.

Whether it was a joke or meant to tease him, the fact that Qiao Ranxin would say something like she'd be interested in Wu Liang is just too shocking...

Based on his understanding of Qiao Ranxin over the years, he knew that Qiao Ranxin was a woman who would never make meaningless jokes.

Moreover, Qiao Ranxin's confident yet slightly playful expression at the time didn't seem like a naive and innocent joke from any perspective.

What she said certainly had some meaning. Perhaps she was just joking with him now, but as time goes by, a year, two years, or even longer...

"Can jokes gradually become reality...?"

Hearing this, Yao Qing stroked her chin and analyzed the situation thoughtfully.

If what Ms. Qiao Ranxin said is true, then he really can't ignore the development between the young master and her...

"Let's go back, I'm tired."

The more Wu Xingsheng thought about it, the more his head ached. He sighed heavily, hoping that these were all just his guesses.

Even though Qiao Ranxin really liked Wu Liang, she probably viewed him from the perspective of an elder, and definitely saw him as an outstanding young man.

It's probably just that he's overthinking things. Besides, the age difference between Qiao Ranxin and Wu Liang is just too exaggerated; there's no way the two of them could be together.

"Okay, let's go back."

Yao Qing shrugged, but her right hand, which was behind her back, couldn't resist tapping on her phone screen.

"It seems Ms. Qiao and my old man had a pretty good chat. You can try to find out what she thinks when you take her home."

"You don't need to teach me this. I'll definitely get some information out of this old woman. No one can keep a secret when I question her."

"You're amazing! Keep it up!"

"Of course! Don't you even know who your girlfriend is!"

Chapter Thirty-Two

The commotion in the Wu family mansion ceased after Milutin found Ye Luotong a new outfit.

Because Yao Shi had taken a box from Milutin's room that contained all sorts of erotic costumes, Ye Luotong could only wander around in front of everyone wearing overly revealing clothes.

Wearing the wrong clothes was very embarrassing and shameful for Ye Luotong, but for someone else it was a rare treat.

So much so that Qijiu deliberately teased Ye Luotong from the side, making fun of the other's sexy little short skirt.

However, Qijiu's actions angered Ye Luotong, causing her to sit in the corner of the sofa, lower her head, and sulk.

"That bastard Qijiu... unforgivable... absolutely unforgivable... how dare she slander me like that in front of Wu Liang..."

Ye Luotong, biting her lip, sat in the far corner of the sofa, staring gloomily at Qijiu, who was eating snacks in the distance.

That damned bastard woman! If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have brought her along last night. Not only did she not help, she deliberately bullied her.

That unreliable old fox Qijiu should have taken advantage of her drunkenness last night to force-feed her several more bottles of strong liquor and give that brat a good thrashing.

(Qijiu: It's a pity I was just pretending to be drunk at the time. Your sister was not only not drunk, but also unusually sober. Later, after you got drunk, I chatted with Wu Liang about life all night.)

Ye Luotong was a relatively conservative woman. Even though she usually acted like an elder, deep down she was still a shy and nervous girl.

Especially when standing in front of her beloved in such alluring and revealing clothes, Ye Luotong, whose thinking was somewhat old-fashioned, naturally could not be as uninhibited as Qijiu and Milutin.

She was instantly overwhelmed by her own shyness, and with Qijiu constantly fanning the flames from the side, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and hide away for a while.

For a teacher to stand before her students dressed in such revealing and lewd clothing was simply too... too vulgar... She absolutely could not tolerate what had just happened...

And that kid, Milutin, actually said she was wearing... a... erotic... uniform... that thing... isn't that something couples only use when they're... in bed... doing it in bed...?

Wu Liang, how did that brat Wu Liang view her just now? Did he think of her as a shameless and indecent woman?

No, she didn't want Wu Liang to misunderstand. It wasn't because she wanted to wear that kind of thing, but because among all the things Yao Shi had given her, that was the only outfit that was somewhat normal and presentable...

If she weren't completely broke, she would never choose those revealing erotic uniforms, even if you beat her to death.

So if anyone's to blame, it's that bastard Qijiu. If it weren't for her constant nagging in Wu Liang's ear, she wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation now.

.

"I'm sorry, okay? Tongtong, please don't be angry with me anymore."

Qijiu walked up to Ye Luotong like a puppy trying to please its master, rubbing her hands apologetically.

Looking at Ye Luotong, who remained silent and still, Qijiu realized that her joke had gone a bit too far.

I didn't expect it to be such a big blow to Tongtong, but is Tongtong taking those words a little too seriously?

She only said it to provoke that brat Wu Liang, but Tongtong was so embarrassed by her words that she almost fainted.

"Tongtong, I was really wrong. Please talk to me. I'll let you hit me on the head to vent your anger, okay?"

Qijiu scratched the back of her head and smiled helplessly. She squatted down and took Ye Luotong's small hand by her side.

Tongtong was angry not because he had mocked her outfit, but because Wu Liang was right next to her when he had mocked her.

That silly girl, does she really think that Wu Liang will have any opinion of her because of what she said?

Fortunately, she knew Wu Liang's character quite well. Even a fool could tell that Wu Liang wasn't the type to hold a grudge against her for a joke. "Tongtong, Wu Liang won't take it seriously. He definitely won't believe what I said."

Seeing that Ye Luotong still hadn't translated, Qijiu surrendered, raising her hands and sitting on the ground, rubbing her head between Ye Luotong's legs and complaining with a wronged expression.

She just wanted to tease Tongtong on a whim, without any real malice, but Tongtong's reaction was so strong...

"Of course I know he won't take it seriously. If he did, I'd skin you alive."

Ye Luotong slowly raised her head and looked at Qijiu on her lap with a resentful expression.

How old are you? Still using such girlish ways to act cute. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if people see it?

"Hehe, I knew Tongtong wouldn't really be angry. It's because I know you so well."

"But Tongtong, why aren't you reacting at all? You haven't forgotten everything that happened last night, have you?"

Qijiu coughed twice and then tilted her head in confusion. Could it be that Ye Luotong had forgotten all those things?

Given Tongtong's personality, she certainly wouldn't be so calm if she remembered what happened last night.

Based on my understanding of Tongtong, if Tongtong still remembers what she said to Wu Liang yesterday, she would definitely be too shy to get out of bed today.

Not to mention standing in front of Wu Liang and greeting him amicably, or greeting Yao Shi and Milutin so naturally.

"What happened yesterday? What happened yesterday?"

Turning her head to glance at Wu Liang and the others who were chatting in the outer hall, Ye Luotong turned her gaze back to Qijiu.

What happened last night? Didn't she come to Wu Liang's house with Qijiu to visit, have dinner, and even run into Wu Liang's father?

Later, Wu Liang suddenly brought out a lot of his treasured wines to treat himself and Qijiu, and then...

"Ah..."

A sudden, inexplicable pain shot through my brain, and the scenes from last night gradually resurfaced deep within my mind.

Ye Luotong recalled everything that happened between her and Wu Liang after Qijiu got drunk, and her tender confession while nestled in Wu Liang's arms...

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!! Don't make me remember this, you bastard woman!!!"

Recalling everything from last night, Ye Luotong's piercing scream instantly filled the entire hall...
