The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Fated Feeling_1

It was as though some predestined whimsical feeling was working in the shadows.

“Thank you, I didn’t expect you to be so articulate.” Qiao Xiaren gave a sideways smile as she brushed her loose strands of hair behind her ears. Si Limo turned his face to her, his ear inexplicably reddened, the contrast of his demure blush and his icy expression strangely captivating.

The driver trailing behind them couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth: why did he get the impression that some woman was teasing their young master? What was behind this flirtatious tone?

The women these days are truly skilled at flirting with both genders. Poor master Si, the redness in his ears said it all.

“Give me the keys,” he ordered.

A reserved voice sounded, and the driver looked up to see master Si’s elegant hand extended in his direction. The driver understood immediately and handed the car keys to him.

Only when Si Limo and Qiao Xiaren’s figures ultimately faded away did the driver realize: clearly, master Si wanted some alone time with her.

The white Bentley swiftly traversed the highway. Her hair fluttered in the gentle breeze, exuding a subtle and elegant scent unlike the cosmetic products of ordinary women.

Si Limo could smell her fragrance infiltrating his nostrils; he breathed it in almost greedily. He suddenly didn’t want to leave her side, finding himself under some sort of spell, unable to articulate the nature of what he was feeling.

The scenery outside raced backward. Eventually, they arrived at Capital High School.

Qiao Xiaren unbuckled her seatbelt and bid farewell to Si Limo with a smile. When a car like this parks outside, naturally it drew many curious gazes, yet all they could see were hazy silhouettes and shadows.

“Jianian, isn’t that your class’s new dazzling flower?”

A group of young boys, their backpacks slung over their shoulders, couldn’t resist stopping their bicycles at the sight of the impressive car. Their natural fascination for cars was evident. With one foot on the ground and the other one resting on a pedal, they stared in curiosity.

Upon seeing the girl’s profile, Sheng Ming squinted and nudged the boy standing next to him.

Ye Jianian squinted at the girl stepping out of the Bentley with a questioning frown – it was actually Qiao Xiaren!

“So it really is her!” Ye Jianian’s face hardened; he lost all interest in the car and immediately cycled towards the school via a small shaded path.

Alighting from a luxury car signified either she was a mistress to some rich man or had been chosen by some old man.

No wonder she had looked down on him with such arrogance earlier. So she was nothing more than a gold-digging harlot!

Ye Jianian walked into the classroom with his bag, his eyes scanning for Qiao Xiaren only to find she wasn’t there. He tossed his bag onto his desk, his frustration needing an outlet.

“Class President Ye, what’s wrong?” Upon spotting Ye Jianian, Ye Qing’s eyes lit up and he immediately approached him with an attentive smile.

“Ye Qing, have you seen Qiao Xiaren?” Ye Jianian’s expression softened slightly, but it was still clouded with a dreary hue.

“Qiao Xiaren? I haven’t seen her.” Ye Qing smiled with a slight shift of his gaze, “Perhaps it’s because she’s teaming up with the renowned actor Chu. She acts like she’s above others, not even practicing basic singing and dancing skills diligently. If her abilities get rusty, I’m sure the Film Academy will reject her – what a pity.”

Ye Qing couldn’t help but take some pleasure in her potential downfall. Let Qiao Xiaren think highly of herself! Their school’s Film Academy was incredibly competitive. Only twenty spots were available per cohort – not to mention countless hours practicing in front of the mirror, they wished their classmates would fall behind.
