Xu Shuangrong's invitation for Shen Yeqing to team up with her immediately caused an uproar in the livestream chat.
[Holy shit! What's going on?! Xu Shuangrong has her sights on Shen Yeqing now??]
[You still don't get it? Xu Shuangrong is sacrificing herself to split up Shen and Xie so Xiao can team up with Xie! Seriously, I'm sobbing.]
[Anyone with eyes can see Mr. Shen isn't interested in her, but she still took this step for Xiao Jingxi. Where do you even find a girl like that? Boohoo.]
[Enough. My heart hurts for her.]
Xu Shuangrong wore a perfectly measured smile, her slender figure looking unusually resilient in the sea breeze.
Whether Shen Yeqing accepted or refused, she had everything to gain and nothing to lose.
If he refused, she could cement her image as someone who sacrificed herself for love. If he accepted, teaming up with Shen Yeqing would bring her plenty of attention, too.
There was no denying that Xu Shuangrong had played a clever move.
Unfortunately, she had tried her little tricks on the wrong person.
Xie Mi could already foresee what would happen next. She quietly turned to escape the conflict, but she was still a step too late.
"Your love counts as love, but mine doesn't?"
Great. Shen Yeqing is getting started.
"You came to break up Teacher Xie and me to help the person you like. How noble of you, but that means I'm being used."
Shen Yeqing walked up to Xie Mi, his beautiful, flirtatious eyes taking on a fragile vulnerability that begged for sympathy.
"Look, Teacher Xie has misunderstood. She's leaving me."
Xie Mi: ?
Keep that up, I dare you.
If she hadn't spotted the faint curve at the corner of his mouth, she would have believed him.
