Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Fiery Spoiled Girl VS ‘Affectionate’ Best Friend (Part 29) Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Fiery Spoiled Girl VS ‘Affectionate’ Best Friend (Part 29) Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
“Qingqing, you’re going to be an adult soon,” He Junyan said as he embraced Gu Shengyin, whispering gently into her ear.
Gu Shengyin felt the hot breath at her ear and understood clearly what the man’s tone implied–the moment she came of age, ripe and ready, he could indulge.
Feeling desired by her lover was not something she found odd; what amazed her was this man’s remarkable patience to have waited so long.
A thirty-one-year-old man was in the prime of his life, shedding the impetuousness of his youth, with a charm that was increasingly profound and refined.
Gu Shengyin turned and sized up the man; he didn’t look old. If he dressed in casual clothes and appeared on campus, he would be mistaken for an exceptionally suave senior.
“What are you looking at?” He Junyan asked as he saw her gazing unwaveringly at him.
Gu Shengyin raised her hand to his neck, smiling with self-satisfaction, “I was thinking, how did I manage to snag such an outstanding man? I, Su Keqing, am so fortunate.”
She, Gu Shengyin, was equally fortunate.
He Junyan looked down at her intently, “No, Qingqing, it’s my, He Junyan’s, good fortune to have met you.”
This foolish girl, with eyes only for him–had she not noticed that as she grew up, her delicate features fully matured, and the gazes entwined around her grew ever more numerous?
“Mm, it must be a blessing from the heavens that the two of us met,” said Gu Shengyin sincerely. To be created, to find a lover to be mutually protective of in her missions, to meet him in cycle after cycle–it truly was a blessing granted by the heavens.
“At the coming-of-age ceremony, I’ll give you a big gift,” Gu Shengyin whispered into his ear, burrowing into his embrace.
He Junyan’s eyes brimmed with laughter, “Mm, I’m waiting for Qingqing’s gift.”
Gu Shengyin’s birthday was after the high school exams, during the holiday. They would have a long sweet holiday to spend together.
However, someone didn’t wish for them to have such an easy time.
One week before the high school exams, a slew of anonymous posts appeared on the school forum.
The content of the posts was consistent: hinting at a certain Miss in the school–tall, with fair skin, beautiful, and of a good family background–who was in fact not a genuine heiress at all. She and the so-called guardian, the Diamond King of Jinhua City, had not the slightest blood relation.
The posts did not explicitly state what was wrong with this girl, but that ambiguity enticed people all the more to search for the underlying story.
Pale and pretty, from a good family, and with a close guardian–the posts all but named Gu Shengyin outright.
Regardless of the veracity of the posts, if this targeted an eighteen-year-old girl facing her exams, she would undoubtedly be distressed and it would certainly impact her upcoming exams. The malice of the person behind the scenes was palpable.
“Could it be Su Qing?” Gu Shengyin’s first thought was of Su Qing; after all, as Su Keqing she had stayed at the school all these years, with no enemies to speak of. The only person with whom she had some feud was Su Qing.
Furthermore, Gu Shengyin had learned from the system that Su Qing knew about her relationship with He Junyan.
But this time, the system denied it: “It’s not Su Qing.”
The culprit behind it all was beyond Gu Shengyin’s expectations, shockingly, it turned out to be a certain young heiress from a conglomerate whom she had met only once, and of whom she had never heard again afterwards.
