Forced to Date a Big Shot

Qian Zheng: “Stay away from her. Don’t fight with me!”

Gu Yunqing: “?”

What does this mean?

Could it be that she did not want her to deal with Xue Xi because she wanted to do that herself? That must be what she meant.

Gu Yunqing smiled. “Sure, I’ll leave it to you.”

She was just waiting to see Xue Xi make a fool of herself. At the same time, Qian Zheng would personally deal with a dilapidated household. If this matter got out, Qian Zheng would lose face!

…

Xue Xi did not care about their thoughts.

At this moment, Ye Li was holding her arm and standing in the parking lot.

Xue Sheng politely opened the door and let Ye Li and Xue Xi get in. Just as he was about to board, Ye Li suddenly said, “Old Xue, sit in front.”

Xue Sheng: “?”

He licked his lips. “Lili, I also want to get closer to Xixi. This backseat is huge…”

Ye Li waved her hand with a look of disdain. “The backseat is big enough, but you’re too fat. Sit in front. Xixi and I are too cramped!”

Xue Sheng: “…”

He lowered his head and looked at his flat stomach. Compared to the other middle-aged businessmen, he was not considered fat, right? Sigh, he was being despised by his wife. He should start to lose weight.

Xue Sheng could only reluctantly sit in the passenger seat. On the way home, he kept his ears pricked up and tilted his head to listen to Xue Xi and Ye Li’s whispers.

This mother-and-daughter pair even whispered in one another’s ears, purposely not letting him hear them. How infuriating!

He decided to sleep in different rooms with Ye Li tonight and let her sleep… Forget it, let her sleep in the study room. This person might cry, so it was better for them to sleep together.

In the end—at night, he took a shower in the bedroom and changed into his pajamas. After reading documents for a while, he realized that Ye Li had not returned.

Hence, he could only walk to Xue Xi’s room. After knocking on the door and entering, he realized that Ye Li and Xue Xi were both wearing pajamas and lying on the bed.

Upon seeing him, Ye Li was perplexed. “Why are you here? Our bed can’t fit in more people. Moreover, our daughter is old and can’t sleep with you.”

Xue Sheng: “?”

He asked in surprise, “Aren’t you going back to your room?”

Ye Li: “…Eh, I forgot to tell you. From now on, I’ll sleep with you from Monday to Thursday. I’ll sleep with Xixi from Friday to Sunday.”

Xue Sheng: “?”

Very jealous!

Why am I not a woman?!

Although he was unwilling, he still snorted and returned to his master bedroom to guard the empty room.

Looking at him, Xue Xi found it funny.

Ever since she had left the Xue family, Ye Li had become more and more lively. Moreover, she could feel that Ye Li had been working hard to make up for the past 18 years.

For example, now—

“Xixi, do you need me to tell you a bedtime story?”

Xue Xi: “…Mom, I’m 19 years old.”

Ye Li suddenly understood. “Oh, right, right. You don’t have to listen to a bedtime story anymore. I’ll take a picture of you sleeping, alright?”

She reached out and gently patted her back.

Xue Xi: “…”

Ye Li’s maternal aura surrounded her, making Xue Xi’s heart gradually calm down. It was strange that Xue Xi, who had never liked to have physical contact with others, was already used to Ye Li’s touch and hugs.

In such an atmosphere, she unknowingly fell asleep.

In her sleep, she felt as though she was floating in a sea of flowers.

This dream was very blissful.

…

The next day was Monday.

In the morning, class officially started, so Xue Xi woke up early and Uncle Li sent her to school.

She did not have time to return to the dormitory, so she went straight to the classroom.

Along the way, she saw other students pointing at her.

Xue Xi did not understand what was going on. When she entered the classroom, Li Zixia, who had arrived earlier than her, explained, “Sister Xi, you’ve been chosen as the most beautiful school belle!”

Xue Xi: “?”

What the hell?

Li Zixia turned on her phone and showed her Huaxia University’s forum. A topic was on the top:

Every year, there was an evaluation. It was a competition among the freshmen about who would be the school belle.

The previous school belle of Huaxia University was none other than Gu Yunqing.

This year, nine freshmen were chosen to compete against Gu Yunqing. Everyone voted anonymously and fairly.

Right now, Gu Yunqing was in first place with 1008 votes. The others were a little behind her. Only Xue Xi had 1005 votes.

The photo that was chosen was of Xue Xi. Someone must have taken it secretly, but even so, one could still see her beautiful face under her red hair.

Her exquisite nose bridge was naturally high and her eyes were huge. Even without lipstick, her lips were still pink, let alone her skin.

After the military training, the rest of the freshmen were tanned, but Xue Xi was still as fair and beautiful as ever, as though she did not have any military training at all.

The comments below were all discussing her:

“She’s a little cold, but she’s really beautiful! To be honest, I’m more fond of her looks!”

Gu Yunqing was a third-year senior. Her face was indeed beautiful, but to be honest, she was really inferior to this freshman. She had been the school belle for two years and was going to give up the title this year!

Xue Xi’s votes steadily rose. Every time the page was refreshed, her votes increased.

When it was time for class, she had already surpassed Gu Yunqing.

Xie Yingying praised, “Sister Xi is awesome!”

However, Li Zixia said, “I’m just afraid that Gu Yunqing will hate Sister Xi even more after she surpassed her.”

Xie Yingying: “…What are you afraid of? What can she do to Sister Xi in school?”

Li Zixia fell silent and did not dare to speak. Xie Yingying was too naive.

The bell rang and she could not say anything else. She listened to class attentively.

It was said that one could relax after entering university. Li Zixia had also thought this way in the past.

However, Huaxia University was one of the top schools in the country. Those who could enter were all top students from the various provinces. This group of people was very self-disciplined, and no one was distracted during class.

This was especially so for Xue Xi. She clearly knew this class, but she still listened attentively. Li Zixia did not dare to be distracted and felt that she would fall behind if she did not study hard.

The first period was an advanced mathematics class. There were two periods. After 45 minutes, they would rest for ten minutes and then study for another 40 minutes.

During the break, everyone went to the washroom.

Li Zixia took out her phone. When she opened the thread, her pupils constricted.

She frowned and said, “Sister Xi, they’re too much. They actually said that you’re spamming the votes!”

Xue Xi, who was taking notes: “?”

She slowly looked up and raised an eyebrow. “Oh.”

She did not care at all. There were so many posts about people being hurt online that she did not have the time to care.

Li Zixia: “…”

She passed the phone to Xue Xi, who casually took a few glances.

She did not care about those who accused her of spamming the site with votes. Just as she was about to return her phone, she suddenly saw a thread:

#Someone’s parents are just clowns trying to attract attention!#

“It was reported that her father had been abandoned by his family and had come to the capital to develop his career. At a certain young mistress’s birthday banquet, he was kissing up and pulling in investments everywhere. He could not wait to call any investor daddy. Her mother had also sneaked in as an artist and treated art as her capital to climb up the ranks, insulting the art itself.

“With such a pair of parents, how good could she be? Don’t be deceived by her face. That’s a plastic face! Her parents were both extremely ugly, so how could they have given birth to her like this?”

Seeing this thread, Xue Xi’s pupils constricted and she was a little angry.

She did not care about the school belle competition at all, but it was a little too much to involve her family over it.
