deep breath, raised her head, and said with clear eyes, “Two years ago, I attended a company’s banquet during my internship. For some reason, after drinking a glass of champagne, I got drunk. Then I w..."That's it! You should help me promote this a lot. The main point of promotion is that we don't discriminate against any young TCM practitioners here! Even young TCM practitioners deserve equal opportunities."
Liang Zitui, of course, nodded obsequiously from the side and then, with a resigned air, replied cheerfully.
"No problem, sis! I'll have my people take care of it right away!"
Xu Zui'ning nodded. Now she had finally completed the first step of her wish. Since she wanted to revive Traditional Chinese Medicine, young power was definitely needed.
Wei Qingyan looked at the three people in the front row, their atmosphere was so harmonious that her nails were almost broken.
"Useless things... Get out of my sight, don't ever let me see you again!"
In the end, she could only vent her anger all on Gu Weiwei.
Gu Weiwei trembled all over in fright and then scrambled away from Wei Qingyan's side, leaving Wei Qingyan staring intently at Xu Zui'ning's retreating figure.
"Wait for me!"
……
After the morning classes ended soon, Zhou Shuangqing and Xu Zuiying made an appointment to go to the cafeteria for lunch. Unexpectedly, they were blocked on their way there.
The visitor seemed to be just a student council member, but there were rumors that he liked Zhou Shuangqing.
Zhou Shuangqing was only a freshman and hadn't joined the student union yet, so she only knew the names of a few officers but couldn't put faces to them.
The young man before them was quite handsome, but the two blushes on his face betrayed him at this moment.
"Hi Zhou Shuangqing, I'm Duan Jiaye from the Student Union. I saw what was said about you on the forum... I believe you're not that kind of person. Are the two of you really together"
Although Zhou Shuangqing was a bit confused, she still shook her head with a good temper.
"We are not together, that's all just rumors, I hope you don't believe it."
Duan Jiaye's eyes lit up, and she took out a bag of exquisitely packaged chocolates from her back.
"I've liked you for a long time! Will you go out with me"
Zhou Shuangqing faced his sudden confession, instantly feeling awkward and unconsciously took a step back.
What came to mind was Pu Yun Gu Xia's handsome and dashing face, along with those particularly gentle peach blossom eyes.
"Sorry...I..."
Although Zhou Shuangqing had verbally refused, the words she originally wanted to say, "I already have someone I like," were stuck in her throat and she couldn't bring herself to utter them.
Has
yourself really fallen for Puyun Guxia
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Duan Jiaye had already heard Zhou Shuangqing's apology. Her bright eyes dimmed instantly, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile.
“So…”
Perhaps still holding onto a sliver of hope, Duan Jiaye still looked up at Zhou Shuangqing, and spoke hopefully.
“I've been following you for a long time, and I've read a lot of the comments about you on online forums. But I still believe you're not like that. It must all be nonsense they're saying. I believe you and Puyun Gu Xia are innocent as well, so even though I don't know if you have a crush on anyone… I'm still…”
Zhou Shuangqing, taken aback by his heartfelt confession, blushed slightly. However, her heart ached at the unexpected mention of "your innocence."
For a long time, Zhou Shuangqing couldn't utter a word. Her mind was in a daze, her eyes met with sincere confession, but her mind was filled with another face.
Xu Zui stared on, her brow furrowing slightly. Zhou Shuangqing was clearly rejecting him intentionally; why hadn't she said so yet
Xu Zui'ning gently pushed Zhou Shuangqing, who then came to his senses and hastily stepped back, waving his hands.
"I'm sorry, I already have someone I care about, so I can't accept you."
Duan Jiaye's secret love came to an end, but all of this was seen by Pu Yun Gu Xia.
He was supposed to pick up Xu Zui Ning from school today to go to the Ouyang family and discuss their plan after the meeting. However, as soon as he found Xu Zui Ning on campus, he witnessed this scene himself.
That girl who once was held in his arms, her whole body fragrant with fruit... it's only natural that she would be confessed to...
Why are you so flustered You almost couldn't help but rush out just now.
Pu Yun Gu Xia lowered her head and looked at her fingers. These hands had kneaded Zhou Shuangqing's hair twice or three times, and the girl's sweet fragrance lingered in her heart.
He smiled wryly, before he could think further, a surprised voice came from Xu Zui'ning beside him.
"Puyun Gushi How did you get here"
Pu Yun Gu Xia had been eavesdropping behind the two people all along, learning about Duan Jia Ye's affairs. Naturally, the two were ready to turn around and leave, but as soon as they turned, they discovered Pu Yun Gu Xia standing by the wall.
Zhou Shuangqing's face was even redder than before when she saw the arrival of the person. She hadn't even figured out her own feelings, and the person involved had already appeared.
Puyun Gus Xia looked at Zhou Shuang Qing's appearance and thought she was still shy about the confession, which made the irritability in his heart even harder to contain.
"It's nothing, Achu asked me to pick you up and take you to him. He said he has something to discuss with you."
Xu Zui nodded thoughtfully, while Pu Yun Gu Xia glanced at Zhou Shuangqing again with a meaningful look.
"Why don't you go have dinner first I can handle the afternoon classes for you!"
Xu Zui'ning waved her hand casually towards Zhou Shuangqing, and Zhou Shuangqing naturally readily agreed.
Although Puyu Guxia and Xu Zui Ning had left, Zhou Shuangqing's gaze never left Puyu Guxia's back.
Not until the two figures gradually disappeared from sight did Zhou Shuangqing walk dejectedly toward the canteen.
……
On the other side, with the escort of Puyun Gusha, Xu Zui Ning finally arrived safely at Qizhai.
Qi Zhai is a grand ancient house, nestled at the foot of bluish-green mountains. A faint sandalwood fragrance permeates the air. Through intricately carved windows, patches of sunlight filter in. Various small buildings attached to the main house give it a sense reminiscent of descriptions found in the writings of Emperor Ai's lavish palace, Afang Palace.
Even though Xu Zui Ning had lived two lifetimes, she had never seen such a magnificent private mansion with her own eyes. She couldn't help but look around curiously.
Puyun Gus Xia sat in the passenger seat but her mind was elsewhere. Could it be that she had truly fallen for him
He felt Zhou Shuangqing was different from his previous girlfriends...But because of his past glories, a good girl like Zhou Shuangqing probably wouldn't believe he was sincere.
Moreover, why would he waste her time... she deserves better anyway.
Pu Yun Gu Xia was lost in thought along the way, and the car had already arrived at the front door. With the steward's advance notice, Ou Yang Chu was already standing at the door to greet him.
The Ouyang family was a large clan, and this mansion was moved into by the generation of Old Master Ouyang. Ouyang Chu's paternal uncles could each have their own courtyard in the mansion.ide his true face at this time. Instead, he threatened the reporters openly and bluntly."You dare say there's no connection I'll tell you straight, if my mother dies here today, none of you get away w...
