Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 297: The Engagement Ceremony’s Ultimate Face-Slapping Spectacle [22]

Chapter 297: Chapter 297: The Engagement Ceremony’s Ultimate Face-Slapping Spectacle [22]

She began to realize that someone was constantly thinking about her, worrying for her, and caring for her.

Strangely, those few noisy kids, completely unrelated by blood, sometimes gave her a feeling akin to family.

Although she had died once, she was not all alone.

Qin Xin washed her face with cold water.

She didn’t notice that her already faint makeup had been mostly washed away.

As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she bumped into Lan Yingjun waiting by the door.

Lan Yingjun was holding a wine glass from the banquet, his face somber, lost in thought.

When Qin Xin’s footsteps sounded, he immediately straightened up, trying to appear more spirited: "Xin..."

Seeing it was him, Qin Xin’s gaze turned cold.

She ignored him and continued to walk forward.

Lan Yingjun followed her closely: "Xin... Wenrou and I are not what you think. I was taking care of her like a sister because the Qin Family said you had passed away. I wanted to fulfill your last wish..."

Qin Xin paused.

Lan Yingjun loosened a bit, thinking his explanation had worked.

Seeing Qin Xin again, he didn’t know why, but she seemed different. Yet, her cold arrogance was as usual.

It attracted and intimidated him.

But if she could accept his explanation... Would she abandon the little uncle and turn back to choose him?

Though he might not marry her, as a man, he always hoped to see a woman cherish old feelings and revolve around him.

With a trace of expectation, he looked passionately at Qin Xin.

However.

He only saw Qin Xin’s gaze grow cold: "Firstly, you are not qualified to call my name. Secondly, I have no interest in the sordid affair between you and Qin Wenrou. You can shut up now."

The nerve of this scumbag, saying he took care of Qin Wenrou because she had died?

Lan Yingjun was stunned, not expecting Qin Xin to give him no face.

A surge of conquest desire immediately intensified.

"Qin Xin, I know you’re mad seeing Wenrou and I together. But I’m really only taking care of her for you. After all, you’ve been gone so long, without a word, everyone thought you died in Ice Lake... And Wenrou and I are nothing, just concerned about her studies..."

"Concerned about her studies? Concerned to the point of giving her a key to open the lab door and help her cheat in competitions?" Qin Xin’s disdainful gaze grew stronger at this man.

Lan Yingjun, who once had the advantage of being diligent and ambitious, now became a shameless oily man full of lies?

Lan Yingjun’s heart skipped a beat, didn’t anticipate Qin Xin knowing even such hidden matters!

Could it be that wastrel from the Nalan Family telling her?

"Qin Xin, I truly didn’t know about Wenrou’s cheating. I..." He found he couldn’t continue his explanation under Qin Xin’s sharp and indifferent gaze.

No matter what excuse he made, this woman seemed able to see right through him.

Before the incident, she hadn’t known he and Qin Wenrou had been so close.

Initially, Qin Wenrou just sought him out for homework help; soon, she sweetly called him Brother Jun, turning to him for everything, linking arms while walking, even stealing kisses.

Lan Yingjun, who hadn’t even held Qin Xin’s hand, couldn’t help but be moved.

Lan Yingjun felt very innocent.

He only committed the mistake all men under heaven have made.

Couldn’t Qin Xin forgive him and start anew with him?

Did she have to marry a lame, short-lived ghost?
