Rong Qi sighed and chuckled, shaking her head.
Lu Qi leaned in, whispering softly in Rong Qiâs ear, âSeven, donât worry. I didnât tell them about your interrogation of that bad person. 1 just said youâre skilled at fighting and didnât mention anything about Mr. Ye or Mr. Lu.â
When Lu Qi mentioned Lu Chengzhou, her voice noticeably softened. She continued, âSeven, are you close to Mr. Lu? He said youâre his cousin-in-law. Could it be true that youâre actually a sugar baby?â
Previously, in the instructorâs office, they and the bunch from Class 1 had seen Ye Nanshen come to back Rong Qi up. However, someone immediately warned them afterward not to talk recklessly about it.
Considering Rong Qiâs reputation, the students in Class 7 kept their mouths shut tight. The students from Class 1, though, privately spread rumors about Rong Qi being a sugar baby, but since the person providing her was a big shot, they dared not explicitly say it. As a result, this matter didnât cause much of a stir.
Rong Qi looked at the cute Lu Qi and a smile tugged at the corner of her lips. She teased, âMr. Lu, huh?â
Lu Qi blushed, hugging Rong Qiâs arm in an attempt to deflect, and said, âOh, Seven, youâre making fun of me!â
Rong Qi fixed her gaze on Lu Qi, a playful smile playing on her lips, like a stern parent interrogating a young lover.
Lu Qi pouted and grumbled, âI just think that someone like him, a noble young master, has an extraordinary bearing. If 1 call him âMr. Lu,â it feels like weâre labeling him as a prodigal son. But from the moment 1 saw him, I knew he wasnât a useless playboy. So, I want to call him âMr. Lu.â because he lives up to that title.â
Rong Qiâs brows twitched, and she nodded. She asked, âThen what do you want him to call you?â
Lu Qi hesitated for a moment, her expression slightly awkward, âSachimaâ¦â
âHahaha,â Rong Qi burst into laughter.
Lu Qiâs face darkened, and she stood up and said, âMeanie! 1 donât want to talk to you anymore.â
Rong Qiâs laughter grew louder. It was the first time Class 7 had heard Rong Qi laugh so joyfully, so their gazes naturally shifted toward her.
Huang Hao chimed in, âRong Qi, itâs fortunate youâre a girl. If you were a guy, who knows how many girls you would have charmed.â
Rong Qi was decisive in action, handsome in style, a touch of clumsiness mixed with aloofness, skilled in fighting, and talented. If Rong Qi was a man, the world might have turned upside down.
Lu Qi joined in, âIf Rong Qi was a guy, Iâd definitely fall for her.â
Rong Qi shook her head with a light chuckle. It wasnât until two classes had passed in the morning that she noticed their class was still missing one person. Han Ning hadnât shown up.
Huang Hao called Han Ning several times, but all he got was no answer. Worried that something had happened to Han Ning, Huang Hao was almost considering skipping class to go find him.
Rong Qi furrowed her brows as well. She knew Han Ning used to be one of the earliest to arrive and he couldnât be absent today with no news at all.
Rong Qi pondered in her heart and found an excuse to step out and make a call. Using another phone number, she called Han Ning, but it was the sameâthe call couldnât go through.
Rong Qi lowered her gaze and headed straight for the universityâs computer room. She found a secluded corner, turned on a computer, and started searching for Han Ningâs location.
Han Ningâs phoneâs location indicated that he was in the Jackdom wealthy villa area, and it hadnât changed since last night. That place was the Han family estate; Han Ning was at his own home.
Rong Qi thought Han Ning being at home should mean nothing was wrong. She shut down the computer and called the home phone number Han Ning had given her.
The call connected, and a rough, middle-aged male voice came through, âHello.â
Rong Qiâs voice remained unchanged, âHello, Iâm Han Ningâs instructor, Miss Seven. He didnât come to school today; is everything alright at home?â
âWhat? That brat didnât come to school?â The voice on the other end was somewhat rough, but his attitude toward Rong Qi was incredibly respectful, âMiss Seven, please wait a moment. Iâll go find that brat..â
