After saying that, Liang Kuan looked at Xu Qingqing apologetically. "I'm sorry, Miss Xu. I've dragged you into this because of my business."
Xu Qingqing glanced at Xu Manman, whose face was as white as a sheet, and curled her lips into a smile. "It's okay. Just by saying what you said just now, you've already dealt the biggest blow to Xu Manman."
Xu Manman's face was deathly pale. She looked at Liang Kuan helplessly. "Liang Kuan, how could you treat me like this? We've been classmates for two years. I've taken care of you everywhere during these two years. Whenever you needed me, I'd show up right away."
"Now I just said some things out of anger. Why do you have to break off with me because of this?"
"Is it because Xu Qingqing has a better family background than me? Now that I'm on bad terms with Xu Qingqing, so you're going to ditch me and choose Xu Qingqing instead?"
Hearing Xu Manman's accusing words, Liang Kuan felt a splitting headache.
"Xu Manman, have you been over - imagining things? Can't you just live your college life quietly? What are you thinking about all day long? We're just ordinary classmates."
"Alright, don't pester me anymore in the future. Let's just go our separate ways."
After saying that, Liang Kuan didn't even finish his meal. He just got up and left.
Xu Qingqing didn't want to talk to Xu Manman any more either. She turned around and walked out of the restaurant with Lu Fenglin.
The two boys who had comforted Xu Manman earlier were now at a loss. They didn't know whether they should leave with Liang Kuan or stay by Xu Manman's side.
Xu Qingqing got into Lu Fenglin's car. As soon as she got in, she closed her eyes to rest and slowly fell asleep.
Lu Fenglin couldn't find a topic to talk about, so he just drove her back to the Xu family's residence.
The two kids were sitting in the living room, quietly watching TV. When they saw Xu Qingqing coming back, they immediately rushed up and hugged her.
"Mommy, did you go to the university to listen to the professor's lecture today? Was the professor good? Was he better than Mommy?"
An'an looked up at Xu Qingqing with star - like eyes and asked.
Looking at her cute appearance, Xu Qingqing couldn't help but ruffle her hair.
"Mommy met a really great professor when she went to the lecture today."
Xu Yiyi asked, "How great? Was he greater than Uncle?"
Xu Qingqing pretended to think for a while. "It's really hard to say. For example, if you ask An'an now, and An'an has just met a little boy and thinks he's great. If you ask her if this little boy is greater than Yiyi, what should An'an say?"
Hearing this, Xu An'an slightly raised her little chin. "Of course, brother is the greatest. In my heart, brother is the greatest."
Xu Yiyi nodded. "You're really my good sister. Brother will give you more pocket money this month."
Xu Qingqing shook her head helplessly.
Lu Fenglin took the opportunity to pick up Xu Yiyi. "Yiyi is so great now. At only five years old, you're already making money for Mommy?"
"Of course. I'm going to support Mommy, my sister, Uncle, and even Grandpa and Grandma."
Xu Yiyi began to count on his fingers.
Seeing how sensible Xu Yiyi was, Lu Fenglin couldn't help but smile.
"Sometimes I really envy the atmosphere in your family. Everyone loves each other. It's really a family full of love."
Lu Fenglin seemed to be talking to Xu Qingqing, but also seemed to be murmuring to himself.
Hearing this, Xu Qingqing looked at Lu Fenglin.
At this moment, she seemed to feel that Lu Fenglin wasn't that scary.
But when she remembered what Lu Fenglin had done, Xu Qingqing unconsciously resisted.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Xu Qingqing was a little confused. Her parents and brother all had their keys. Who could it be at this time?
She opened the door, and it happened to be Lu Chuanbai.
As soon as Lu Chuanbai came in and was about to speak, he saw Lu Fenglin in the living room, holding Xu Yiyi in his arms. Immediately, Lu Chuanbai got angry.
"Who allowed you to come here?" Lu Chuanbai coldly questioned Lu Fenglin.
A familiar smile appeared on Lu Fenglin's face, with a hint of unruliness. "What do you mean, brother? If you can come to the Xu family, why can't I?"
"Moreover, brother, there's something you don't know yet. Miss Xu went to school for a lecture today, and I was the one who was specially assigned to pick her up and drop her off."
"During this period, Miss Xu also encountered some troubles. I stepped forward to help Miss Xu. I've been Miss Xu's personal bodyguard for a whole day."
Every word of Lu Fenglin hit the nail on the head, making Lu Chuanbai extremely angry.
He remembered what Xu Qingqing had said to him before. Xu Qingqing had said that she wanted to try to accept Lu Fenglin's pursuit. At that time, he had thought it was just Xu Qingqing's angry words.
But now it seemed that these two were almost about to officially announce their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Fine, you're really good!"
Leaving these words behind, Lu Chuanbai turned around and left.
Looking at his determined back, Xu Qingqing couldn't tell what she was feeling.
Wasn't she supposed to be used to it already? Lu Chuanbai never believed her, and she didn't expect him to believe her either.
Lu Fenglin came to Xu Qingqing's side. He lowered his voice and said, "What should we do now? He saw us. He must have misunderstood that you and I are in the same boat."
Xu Qingqing looked at Lu Fenglin coldly. "Wasn't this what you had planned all along? Picking me up to go to school for a lecture and then sending me home. Lu Chuanbai can find out about these routes if he wants to."
"Whether he misunderstands that I'm in cahoots with you or not, I'll just do my own thing."
"Lu Chuanbai has no right to tell me how to live my life."
Hearing Xu Qingqing's words, Lu Fenglin was a little surprised.
"I didn't expect Miss Xu to be such a free - spirited person. I underestimated you before, Miss Xu. I thought Lu Chuanbai occupied an important position in your heart. I thought you'd be heart - broken when Lu Chuanbai misunderstood you."
As he was talking, Lu Fenglin was observing Xu Qingqing's expression, trying to find something from her face. However, Xu Qingqing remained cold all the time, leaving Lu Fenglin with nothing to grasp.
"If there's nothing else, you can leave. Your goal has been achieved. Lu Chuanbai has seen us. It's time for you to go."
Xu Qingqing coldly issued the order to leave.
Lu Fenglin shrugged helplessly. "When it comes to being cold - hearted, Miss Xu is truly number one."
"It seems that Miss Xu still minds my getting close to you."
Xu Qingqing scoffed. "Whether Lu Chuanbai is here or not, the result is the same. I'm really grateful to you for accompanying me out today. Is that okay?"
Knowing that Xu Qingqing was in a bad mood at this time, Lu Fenglin nodded with a smile and gently put Xu Yiyi on the ground.
"Yiyi, be good. Your mommy is issuing the order to leave for me. Uncle Lu will leave first. I'll come to see you guys later."
"Okay." Xu Yiyi nodded obediently.
After Lu Fenglin left, Xu An'an and Xu Yiyi both looked at Xu Qingqing at the same time.
"Mommy, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"
"Mommy, Uncle Lu Chuanbai seemed to be angry just now."
The two kids asked at the same time.
