Chapter 243: If I Don’t Respect You, You Would’ve Been Mine a Long Time Ago

Qiao Qing paused, “How dare you ask me to accept you when you don’t even know how to respect me?!”

“What do you deem as respect?” Jun Yexuan cupped her face. His expression was unprecedentedly serious.

“Your personality is as cold as the tip of a mountain. If I don’t make the move, when will you even spare me a look?”

“I don’t want to be like Feng Heng. After three years, he’s still right where he started.”

“I want to grasp onto everything I want. I don’t want to give anyone else any opportunity.”

“I’m jealous because I care about you. He may be your brother, but he’s still a man. The way he is obsessed with his sister is unacceptable!”

“You two even hugged in front of me. How can I not mind that?”

“Though I appear collected, I’m not someone who accepts any provocation.”

“The only girl I let myself get close to are girls I love. I don’t even look at other women twice.”

“I’m a man, not a saint. Next to love is lust. If you love someone, there is no way you don’t have the slightest desire to be close to them.”

“It’s not like there’s never been an opportunity for me. If I didn’t respect you, you would’ve been mine a long time ago. Do you understand?”

It was rare to see him speak so much. Qiao Qing stayed quiet for a long time before answering, “Why do you like me?”

“Who knows?” Jun Yexuan chuckled, “Maybe my past 23 years have been far too smooth sailing. I have succeeded in everything I’ve done, so the Gods sent you to torment me.”

Qiao Qing’s heart skipped a beat. There were some secrets she had been hiding that she found it difficult to conceal at the moment.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Perhaps, she did feel something towards him.

Jun Yexuan didn’t know what she was thinking. His hand gently tussled her hair, “Go to sleep.”

Then, he turned around and shut the door.

That night, because of someone, Qiao Qing suffered from insomnia.

The next day, after breakfast, Qi Yusen and Jun Yexuan both went to work.

Qiao Qing, Luo Chen, and Lin Xiyan all went to UCC together.

After they got off the car, Luo Chen and Han Zhi volunteered to carry Lin Xiyan’s luggage.

The moment these people walked into campus, they garnered much attention.

Though theoretically, looks and grades have no direct relationship – it was extremely rare for scholars to be this good-looking.

Since all three of them were walking together, they attracted even more attention than usual.

Luo Chen and Qiao Qing, in particular, would be considered beautiful even if they weren’t scholars.

Chitchats started. There were even people who took out their phones to sneak photos.

Luo Chen caught a peek of something and his eyes brightened, “Guess who I saw!”

Then, he waved his hand, “Qi Rui, come here!”

Qi Rui heard this and walked over. His gaze landed on Lin Xiyan for a while before asking, “Why did you guys get here so late?”

“Why did you come here so early?” Luo Chen handed over Lin Xiyan’s luggage to him and squinted, “These are Xiyan’s.”

Qi Rui froze and then took over the luggage and walked alongside Lin Xiyan.

Lin Xiyan tugged at her shirt, a little at loss. She felt embarrassed and didn’t know what to say.

Han Zhi smiled and glanced at Luo Chen, “You’re great at this.”

Luo Chen smiled back, “Uncle Han, a gentleman is always ready to help others attain their aims”

Han Zhi shook his head and exclaimed. Being young sure has its perks.

The group walked towards the resident building Lin Xiyan was staying in. As they walked, they saw Fu Siying walk over, her arms crossed with a man’s.

Luo Chen stumbled a little, “That kind of person can get into UCC?”

Lin Xiyan looked up and when she saw the man Fu Siying was holding onto, her eyes widened, “Brother!”
