Li Siyu didn’t look at the photo and instead scrolled straight to the comments below.
【The Handsomest Man Alive】: Damn, she’s so beautiful. Ah, my wife, I love you.
【I Love Beauties】: Hey, put your pants back on first. *Drooling* She’s so stunning. I thought the person was exaggerating, but she’s even prettier than the campus belle. And that figure—those long legs, *slurp*…
【Steel Luban】: This must be photoshopped. How can there be such a beautiful girl?
【Teamfight Can Wait】: I’m a junior in the computer science department, and I can confirm. She came to the gymnasium this morning with the principal and other leaders. She’s even more beautiful in person than in the photo!
【Luban Must Die】: I wonder which lucky guy gets to be her boyfriend. He’d definitely wake up laughing in his dreams. I hope I’m that guy.
Li Siyu was stunned. *Is she really that beautiful?*
Not believing it, Li Siyu scrolled back up and was immediately struck by an absolutely breathtaking photo.
Her mouth hung open, feeling as if her face had just been metaphorically slapped.
“Oh my god, she’s so beautiful,” Li Siyu exclaimed. “She’s several times more beautiful than the most stunning actress in the entertainment industry right now.”
“Yao Yao, come look at this,” Li Siyu said, handing her phone to Qin Ruoyao. Qin Ruoyao’s pupils contracted sharply.
*It’s her!*
Seeing the flood of compliments under the post, Qin Ruoyao’s expression turned grim.
She hated people who were more beautiful than her!
After finishing her written apology, Qin Ruoyao felt like her hand was about to fall off. She packed up her things and sneaked behind a large tree in front of the villa.
Other students who wanted to gather and watch had been chased away by bodyguards, but Qin Ruoyao was deliberately allowed to stay by Jiang Qing.
Su Hua wanted to crush her love rival, and as her secretary, Jiang Qing naturally had to lend a hand.
Inside the villa, Su Hua had changed into a white suit, her soft hair tied back, giving her a cool and pure appearance, like an untouchable flower on a high peak, completely devoid of the seductive charm she displayed in bed.
Lin Xuan felt quite pleased with himself, as Su Hua’s alluring side was something only he got to see.
“Su Hua, I’m heading to the ceremony now,” Lin Xuan said.
“Mm,” Su Hua nodded, her mood exceptionally good after being well-fed. A faint smile lingered in her eyes.
“Wait,” Su Hua called out just as Lin Xuan was about to leave. She walked up to him, stood on her tiptoes, and planted a kiss on his lips.
“Ah Xuan, this is a farewell kiss.”
Jiang Qing, who had just walked in, thought to herself, *Ugh, I can’t stand this. A farewell kiss? It’s only going to be forty minutes before you see each other again.*
As Lin Xuan walked out of the villa, Qin Ruoyao’s face darkened. *He really was here at noon!*
*How could he sleep with another woman? And that woman who ruined our wedding!*
If it weren’t for her, she and Lin Xuan would already be married, living a blissful life together.
She hated that woman to the core!
Qin Ruoyao bit her lip, secretly resolving to win Lin Xuan back. If that seductress liked Lin Xuan, then she would take him away and flaunt their love in front of her, making her suffer!
With that thought, Qin Ruoyao felt that pursuing Lin Xuan wasn’t so unbearable after all.
Su Hua also stepped out of the villa, her sharp gaze landing on the large tree.
“Su Hua, Qin Ruoyao is hiding behind that tree,” Jiang Qing explained.
“Mm,” Su Hua’s lips curved into a slight smile as she walked toward the auditorium.
Wang Dahe was waiting for Lin Xuan downstairs at the dormitory. Seeing Lin Xuan approach, he asked curiously, “Xuan, you didn’t come back to the dorm at noon?”
“No,” Lin Xuan nodded. “I’ve moved out. I’ll take you to my new place sometime.”
“That’s great! Now you don’t have to live with that snake Ye Li anymore!” Wang Dahe had always seen through Ye Li’s facade—he was a master of manipulation, a classic “green tea” guy.
It was a shame that Lin Xuan had been so blinded by Qin Ruoyao back then, bending over backward to please the Lin family and treating Ye Li like a close friend.
Fortunately, Lin Xuan had finally come to his senses.
“By the way, you look like you haven’t been sleeping well lately. You’ve got dark circles, your steps seem unsteady, and what’s up with your lips?”
Lin Xuan stopped in his tracks and raised an eyebrow. “My sugar mommy bit me. As for the dark circles, I’ve been overindulging.”
“Can’t help it,” he sighed. “Her demands are just too high.”
Even though Su Hua was always the one initiating things, she was just too damn captivating, pulling him into a whirlpool of passion every time.
It was pure bliss, both physically and mentally.
“Lucky you!” Wang Dahe rolled his eyes. “Speaking of which, Xuan, show me a photo of your sugar mommy. I’m curious.”
From what Lin Xuan had told him, his sugar mommy was young, beautiful, wealthy, and talented—basically perfect. But the wealthy older women Wang Dahe had seen online were usually very heavy-set. He was dying to know if Lin Xuan was exaggerating.
“You’ll see her soon,” Lin Xuan said mysteriously.
Ever since Ye Li saw Su Hua’s photo on the forum, he had been waiting along the path she would take from the villa to the auditorium.
When Su Hua appeared, Ye Li’s heart raced as he gazed at the woman he dreamed about every night.
He wanted to talk to her, to get close to her.
But his face was still bruised and swollen from the beating Lin Xuan had given him. He couldn’t let Su Hua see him like this.
So Ye Li hid in the shadows, watching her from afar.
*I have to get rid of Lin Xuan! I’ll take his place by Su Hua’s side!*
The auditorium at Shangqing University was massive, capable of holding the entire student body. Su Hua didn’t appear directly in the venue but instead stayed in a second-floor lounge with a window overlooking the proceedings.
Before the opening ceremony began, the principal stood at the center of the stage.
“Before we start, we need to address a student who has behaved shamelessly, demanding a 400,000-yuan necklace from another student.
“She will now read her apology.”
The students whispered among themselves.
“Did you hear about the forum post? Li Siyu, Qin Ruoyao’s friend, posted that a woman by the principal’s side was jealous of Qin Ruoyao’s beauty and targeted her.”
“Really? Why would the principal listen to that woman?”
“Everyone’s saying she’s the principal’s mistress. That’s probably it.”
“Ugh, how ugly. Ugly people always cause trouble.”
Lin Xuan was shocked. *Did Su Hua see what happened between me and Qin Ruoyao outside the restroom?*
No wonder she had been so accommodating today.
But hearing his classmates call Su Hua the principal’s mistress made Lin Xuan furious. The term “mistress” was an insult to Su Hua.
“Shut up!” Lin Xuan barked.
The surroundings fell silent.
The students were puzzled. *What’s gotten into Lin Xuan? Why is he so worked up?*
Lin Xuan said sternly, “She’s not the principal’s mistress, and she’s not ugly. If you don’t know the facts, don’t spread rumors. You might regret it!”
Now that Lin Xuan could afford a Koenigsegg and a Rolls-Royce, none of the students dared to provoke him. Though they didn’t believe him, they kept their mouths shut.
The principal announced loudly, “Qin Ruoyao, please come to the stage.”
