Gu Qili finally had a reaction, looking at the beaming face before her, she suddenly didn’t know how to begin her refusal. Original content can be found at novelFɪre.net
So many people around were watching, including classmates, friends, and his group of good brothers; how could she have the heart to bruise his ego.
But agreeing to him was absolutely impossible. For some reason, just now, Mu Shuoqian’s face kept flickering through her mind; despite having only the name of marriage without the reality of it, she felt as if she was cheating.
Gu Qili thought about it and decided to use a compromise, at least not to lose his face in front of so many people. Men in this respect always have a strong and easily bruised ego, especially Chen Yishu who excelled in every aspect.
"Yishu, let’s talk somewhere else," Gu Qili whispered in a voice only he could hear, while taking the roses from his hand. To outsiders, it seemed as if she had agreed, but soon, the two of them were about to turn around and leave.
"Brother Yishu." A coquettish voice suddenly cut through, immediately drawing everyone’s attention, "You, how can you betray me?"
Gu Qili frowned; now when she heard Hu Jiaojiao’s voice, she felt an urge to vomit, ready to leave, but her arm was grabbed, and then there was a whoosh by her ear, Hu Jiaojiao actually slapped her.
Gu Qili dodged by tilting her head.
"Hu Jiaojiao, what kind of madness is this." She said annoyed, swatting away that still-hovering little hand, "Took fake drugs?"
Without much force in her swat, Hu Jiaojiao nevertheless sat down hard on the cold marble floor.
Gu Qili coldly sneered, another fake fall, could she change up her tricks next time.
But such tricks seem infallible in the eyes of onlookers; even Chen Yishu instinctively gave her a helping hand.
"Brother Yishu, do you really not want me anymore?" cried Hu Jiaojiao with tears streaming down her face, like the rain on pear blossoms, "I always regarded Qiqi as my best friend, never expecting that my best friend would snatch away my boyfriend. Brother Yishu, how can you not mind what she has done, do you know how many rich men she has slept with? Do you know how filthy she is? Would you rather be with such a promiscuous social butterfly and betray our relationship?"
Hu Jiaojiao’s words suddenly became a blockbuster, exploding in the crowd.
"I thought it was lovers finally getting together, turns out it’s the homewrecker rising to the top."
"I knew a shameless woman like her couldn’t do any good."
"Pah, how can Chen Yishu be bewitched too, a sly vixen."
Chen Yishu’s admires suddenly found a common topic, discussing loudly without restraint, as if afraid that Gu Qili couldn’t hear them, every sentence hurtful.
"Hu Jiaojiao, what nonsense are you talking?" Chen Yishu was very annoyed as he released the hand that was holding her, "When have I ever been with you?"
He went over and grabbed Gu Qili’s wrist: "Qili, let’s go."
"No, you cannot leave." Hu Jiaojiao suddenly scrambled up from the ground, desperately clutching onto Gu Qili. She was wearing only a white short-sleeved T-shirt, and immediately two bloody marks were scratched onto her arm, hurting her so much that she jumped.
"Are you insane?" Gu Qili was furious, how had she never realized that Hu Jiaojiao was so shameless before, playing her act so well, feigning weakness, subtly hurting others invisibly, yet still pretending to be the victim, she had truly been blind.
"Brother Yishu." Before the angry Chen Yishu could speak, Hu Jiaojiao cried out loudly: "I’m pregnant."
