Qin Yu froze and looked at her boyfriend in disbelief. “W-What did you say?”

Sun Ping repeated, “The wedding is canceled. Let’s break up.”

Qin Yu’s heart ached in her chest. She asked angrily and anxiously, “Why? Are you really breaking up with me over something so trivial? We’ve already sent out the invitations! How am I supposed to explain everything to my family and friends?!”

“So what if we sent out the invitations? Even if we’ve already registered our marriage, the divorce procedures will only take a dozen minutes.” Sun Ping’s voice was bone-chilling, and he no longer had his usual gentle expression. “Qin Yu, you almost ruined my career and my student’s life.”

“We cleared up the misunderstanding, didn’t we?!” Qin Yu bit her pale lips tightly and said with tears in her eyes, “Besides, it’s not like you’re completely blameless!”

Sun Ping looked up at her, as if waiting for her to continue.

Qin Yu nodded heavily. “Fine, then 1’11 be frank with you. If it weren’t for the fact that you often look at Xu Jiaojiao’s paintings at home, I wouldn’t have fallen for Lu Huan’s lies so easily! Do you dare say that you have a clear conscience? Can you really say that you don’t have any other feelings for her?! Sun Ping, I know you…”

“You’re beyond saving!” Sun Ping barked coldly, his eyes dark and stormy. “You may have dirty thoughts, but don’t tar everyone with the same filthy brush! To me, Xu Jiaojiao is just a very talented student!”

Qin Yu was stunned. As far as she remembered, he had never spoken to her so harshly before.

Sun Ping held his tongue again and again, but in the end, he could not hold it in anymore. “It’s fine if you messed around in the past, but this time, you’ve crossed my bottom line!

“I’ll tell you the truth. Xu Jiaojiao is my most valued student. 1’11 use everything I’ve learned in my life to teach her and guide her until she becomes a true artist. No matter what anyone says, 1 won’t change my mind!

In the past, he could turn a blind eye to whatever Qin Yu did to those female students who got close to him behind his back. Since the two of them were about to get married, he could let her do whatever she wanted. However, he could not let her mess with Xu Jiaojiao.

That girl was the most hardworking person he had ever met in his life, and it just so happened that she had a gift for it, too. All she needed was someone who could teach her diligently and point her down the right path. With time, she would definitely become a world-famous painter and create countless amazing works.

Of course, Qin Yu knew how seriously Sun Ping took art. She also understood that his words were not just empty threats. Forget his girlfriend, he could even abandon his parents if they interfered with his work and stopped him from pursuing art.

She finally realized that she was wrong, and ridiculously so.

She felt a lump in her throat and swallowed down the tears. “I know 1 was wrong. 1 promise you that I won’t do it again! Never, okay?! Give me a chance. 1 really don’t want to break up with you.”

She wanted to go forward and hug Sun Ping, but before she could touch him, Sun Ping pushed her away. His gaze was cold and unmoved.

“I’ll give you two days to move out of my house. 1 don’t want to see you again when I get home.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

With that, he did not even give her a chance to redeem herself. He turned around and left mercilessly, leaving Qin Yu weeping alone.

Qi Shenbai carried Xu Jiaojiao to the back seat and helped her take off the sleeping bag. Then, he pulled her directly onto his lap. The heater in the car was turned on high, so there was no need to worry that she would be cold.

Xu Jiaojiao leaned against his chest listlessly. She was clearly exhausted, but she did not want to sleep. Taking in the unique woody fragrance from his body, she felt an unprecedented sense of safety. She could even spend the rest of her life like this.

Qi Shenbai picked up a pink thermos flask, opened the lid, and took a sip for her. After confirming that the temperature of the water was just right, he handed the cup to her. “Drink some water.”

Xu Jiaojiao obediently opened her mouth and gulped down a few sips before reacting. “You… used this cup before.”

Qi Shenbai smiled helplessly. “Have you forgotten that we’ve already kissed?”

“Don’t mention that again!” Xu Jiaojiao covered his mouth shyly, her face red with embarrassment.

“Alright. As long as you drink the water obediently, I won’t mention it again.”

Xu Jiaojiao was afraid that he would spout nonsense in front of Cang Xing, so she had to obediently drink the water. After drinking it, she reluctantly muttered, “You sure resort to underhanded methods just to make me drink more water.”

“What did you say?” Qi Shenbai was putting the cup down, and he did not hear what she said clearly.

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head and pursed her lips into a smile.. “How did you know 1 was sick?”
