Chapter 726 - 730: The Pampered Silly Girl

In the living room, Mi Sheng was meticulously holding Qiao Zui’s arm, carefully drawing his sleeve up. She was afraid the sleeve would slip, aggravating his injury.

Seeing the nasty burn blistering on his fair arm, Mi Sheng’s heart pained as if hit by a sharp blow.

Qiao Zui saw she was delicately cradling his arm, looking at his wound with a heart-wrenching expression. His heart softened and he switched to comforting her, “It’s nothing serious, just a slight burn, who hasn’t had one? It’ll be fine in a few days.”

Mi Sheng looked up and saw his deathly pale face from the pain, her eyes turning red and unable to utter a word.

Fang Mingzhu burst into the living room, instantly noticing the intimate gaze between them.

Fang Mingzhu, with her head buzzing in anger, stormed over and violently shoved Mi Sheng, “Fox spirit! Keep your hands off Brother Xiaoqiao. He’s my fiancé. We’re engaged!”

Surprised by her push, Mi Sheng staggered. Qiao Zui quickly stepped forward to support her.

His sleeve slipped, exposing his injury. The contact made him shudder with pain.

Bearing the pain, he shot a sharp glare at Fang Mingzhu, coldly stating, “Fang Mingzhu, I’m warning you for the last time. Yes, Grandpa Fang did suggest I marry you, but I refused. I never agreed to marry you. We have nothing between us! Don’t ever claim to be my fiancée again, or I won’t be so polite!”@@novelbin@@

Fang Mingzhu stared at him in disbelief, her face pale, and large tears welled up in her eyes. She asked, “Brother Xiaoqiao, how could you do this to me? We grew up together. Everyone says we’re a perfect match. How could you change your mind?”

“I’ve never liked you. What about changing my mind?” He held onto Mi Sheng’s hand with his uninjured arm. His gaze softened as he looked at Mi Sheng, “I’ve always liked Xiao Mi, since the moment I first saw her.”

Unfortunately, romantic relationships between tutors and students were forbidden.

He had to obey the rules.

His secret love ended unrequited.

Yet, he and Mi Sheng seem destined, able to meet each other in a foreign land.

This is fate, a gift from the heavens. This time, he would hold onto Mi Sheng’s hand, not missing the opportunity given by God.

His palm, covered with cold sweat from the pain, echoed on his forehead. Seeing him suffer, Mi Sheng gently put his arm around her neck and softly said, “Let’s stop talking about it. Let’s go home.”

Qiao Zui had made it clear that there were no romantic feelings between him and Fang Mingzhu.

The so-called engagement between them was nothing more than Fang Mingzhu’s subjective narrative.

She loved Qiao Zui.

Qiao Zui was the first man she fell for.

Even now, the memories of him haunted her dreams.

She thought her love was one-sided. But knowing that he had also started to like her in that time, filled her heart with excitement and sweetness.

He was the man she admired, respected, and idolized. She would hold onto him tight, not letting anyone else take him away.

Seeing Mi Sheng trying to help him walk, Qiao Zui chuckled and gently ruffled her hair with his uninjured hand, “Silly girl, it’s not my foot that’s hurt, why are you helping me walk?”

Seeing their intimacy, Fang Mingzhu’s heart ached as if it was being torn apart.

ps: Some readers have asked why nothing has been mentioned about Beibei’s elder brother amidst everything that’s happened. The reason is that Beibei is not in her home country and her elder brother is in Beijing, miles away. Beibei is the type of person who shares only good news and keeps the problems to herself, so her elder brother doesn’t know about what’s happening to Beibei overseas.

You guys miss Beibei’s elder brother, don’t you? [giggles]

Once again, wishing my dear followers a happy long weekend. Yunyun loves you all. Muah~
