100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding

Chapter 21: Chapter 021 The Girl from a Reputable Family_1 Chapter 21: Chapter 021 The Girl from a Reputable Family_1 Leng Jing finished his afternoon classes and went home, while Gong Xiaoqiao ran to the Fashion Design Department and, after a mix of cajoling and persistence, borrowed a gown from a senior. She then called her senior brother.

“Eleven… Do you need something?” The man on the other end of the line spoke in a stiff, nervous tone and seemed to have excitedly knocked something over, creating a series of crashing sounds.

Gong Xiaoqiao was ranked eleventh as a novice at the Shaolin Monastery. Because she was a girl, she wasn’t given a dharma name, so everyone called her Eleven.

“Senior brother, you’ve received the invitation to the Gu Family’s heiress’s engagement ceremony tomorrow, right?”

“Yes, yes! What about it?”

“Then, do you have a date?”

“No.”

“Great! Senior brother, take me with you!”

Even though her senior brother had left the monastic life many years ago, he still adhered to his vow of celibacy. She knew he would not bring a date, so she saw an opportunity to step in.

Mu WuXie had been ill constantly since birth. His family, having heeded the advice of some reclusive sage, sent him to convert to Buddhism. Unexpectedly, after joining the monastery, he really did stop getting sick.

It wasn’t until he reached adulthood that the Mu family asked him to come back and take over the family business. Now he was the director of Bo’ai Hospital, and Gu Xiaorou had been his attending physician before she went abroad, so it was within Gong Xiaoqiao’s expectations that he would be invited early on.

The Shaolin Monastery really was a place with hidden dragons and crouching tigers!

“Can I say no…” The senior brother mustered his courage and struggled to refuse.

Gong Xiaoqiao laughed mischievously, “Of course, you can! But if you don’t take me, I’ll tell our master about you stealing a kiss from me!”

Mu WuXie, out of frustration, exclaimed, “When have I ever…”

“Oh come on, senior brother, just take me with you. Are you really afraid I’ll gobble you up?”

“Cough, I am quite afraid…”

“Senior brother, I’m a respectable young lady…”

Her senior brother was delicate and tender, looking like the reincarnation of Tang Sanzang himself. No wonder she liked to tease him, so much so that now he reacted to her as if she were a demon.

“Here’s the dress I promised you, don’t forget the favor you owe me! That’s my favorite design. Fine, seeing as it really suits you, I’ll lend it to you just this once…”

“Senior sister, aren’t you lending it to me because I agreed to wear a maid costume for Christmas and help raise funds for your department?”

“Ah, all I did was voice a reasonable request on behalf of all the male students at our school! Haven’t you browsed the school forum? I posted the newly designed maid costume and ran a poll on which girl at our school the guys would most like to see in the outfit for the Christmas party. You received ninety percent of the votes, Xiaoqiao!”

Gong Xiaoqiao’s mouth twitched, “To think there would actually be such a pointless poll…”

After shaking off her lovesick senior sister, Gong Xiaoqiao changed into her gown and took a taxi to the coast at A City’s prime location, the “Spring’s Warmth and Blossoms” villa.

Before Gu Xiaorou and Qin Yao returned to the country, their families had already prepared a luxurious villa by the coast as their new home.

Facing the sea, with spring blossoms.

It was said that Qin Yao himself had had a hand in designing this series of villas.
