Chapter 417 - Sister Xi, Can You?

Xue Xi paused and felt like laughing.

Meanwhile, Fu Yuanxiu raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to speak, his throat felt itchy and he coughed. He took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth while facing the other side.

Qian Zheng was stunned.

Her gaze first moved from his face to the bouquet of flowers, then to his face. When Fu Yuanxiu was done coughing, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “Little Cu...”

Before he could finish speaking, Qian Zheng had an idea and said, “May I ask, how do we get to the activity room?”

Fu Yuanxiu: “?”

Xue Xi: “?”

Fu Yuanxiu was stunned. He stared at Qian Zheng and a dark glint flashed across his eyes.

After saying that, Qian Zheng felt that she was simply too clever. She said, “Eh, so it’s you? Painter Fu? Why are you here? By the way, Sister Xi and I are going to the activity room to play. We got lost, so we came to ask you.”

After saying that, without waiting for Fu Yuanxiu to speak, she pointed at the building not far away. “Ya, it’s there. No need! I’ll leave first!”

She turned around and ran down from the pavilion. The moment she turned around, she saw Xue Xi’s little face frowning and she was about to cry.

Her Xiao Yuan... How could it be Fu Yuanxiu!

This was definitely a joke from the heavens!

Xue Xi: “...”

After Qian Zheng ran to her, she grabbed Xue Xi’s arm and took two steps in the opposite direction. Suddenly, Fu Yuanxiu shouted, “Qian Zheng.”

Qian Zheng paused and froze. She turned to look at Fu Yuanxiu. “W-what?”

Could this person know that she was Little Cutie?

No way!

How embarrassing!

Seeing that she was about to cry, Fu Yuanxiu pointed at the building opposite. “That’s the activity room.”

Qian Zheng: “...”

“Oh.” Qian Zheng held Xue Xi’s arm and walked toward the activity room.

On the way, her phone kept ringing. She lowered her head and saw Xiao Yuan had been sending her messages:

“Where are you?”

“Are you here?”

“I’ll wait for you here.”

“?”

“I still have something on. I’ll go get busy first. Tell me when you arrive. I’m nearby.”

Every two minutes, he would send a message, making Qian Zheng feel even more guilty.

Xue Xi could not help but say, “I think you should say something.”

Qian Zheng immediately waved her hands. “No, no, no. You don’t know. I told Xiao Yuan that I hate reading books the most. That I don’t know anything. Sob, I can’t let Fu Yuanxiu know. Otherwise, I won’t want my face anymore!”

Xue Xi: “...”

Since the day the two of you attended the art exhibition, you have already lost face, right?

However, seeing that Qian Zheng was about to cry, she suppressed her words.

The two of them walked to the activity room and walked around after entering. Just as they were about to come out, they bumped into Fu Yuanxiu, who came in from outside.

Qian Zheng: “?”

Why is this person still lingering around?

Fu Yuanxiu was also slightly stunned when he saw her. He then said, “You can’t find the entrance? I’ll bring you guys there.”

Qian Zheng: “Huh?”

Fu Yuanxiu said, “Only the art club is having an activity in the activity room today. Didn’t you guys just come here to look at the paintings?”

Qian Zheng braced herself. “Yes, yes...”

Fu Yuanxiu coughed as he held the flowers. “Follow me, then.”

Qian Zheng: “...No, we won’t look anymore. I...”

Fu Yuanxiu continued, “Coincidentally, there are some painting points I’d like to consult you about.”

Qian Zheng: “?”

Was this Fu Yuanxiu mocking her?!

Qian Zheng was furious. “I already said last time that I don’t have any affinity for paintings. You...”

Before she could finish speaking, she heard Fu Yuanxiu’s words. “Sister Xi, is that alright?”

Qian Zheng: “?”

So, was she reacting too much?

The person she wanted to consult was Sister Xi?

No, why did Fu Yuanxiu know Sister Xi?!

Qian Zheng looked at Xue Xi and saw her glancing at her as though she was asking for her opinion.

Qian Zheng coughed and was about to reject when she heard Fu Yuanxiu say, “I’ll just delay you guys for a while. Moreover, you guys came here to look at the paintings, right? Ms. Qian, you won’t mind, right?”

Qian Zheng: ... F*ck! I mind, I mind!

However, she had just said that she was coming to the activity room, and it did not seem right for her to say that she was not here to look at the paintings. She could only suppress her grievances and withdraw a smile. “Of course.”

Xue Xi: “...”

As Qian Zheng spoke, she pouted. Although she tried her best to smile, she could still tell that this fellow must be complaining about Fu Yuanxiu in her heart. She was too cute.

Xue Xi lowered her eyes and led Qian Zheng into the art club with Fu Yuanxiu.

After entering, Fu Yuanxiu pointed at a painting not far away. “That painting is a national art. Sister Xi, let’s go there.”

After saying that, he coughed again. However, as he was about to lead the way, he coughed again. He seemed to have nowhere to put the flower in his hand and Fu Yuanxiu casually passed it to Qian Zheng.

Qian Zheng casually took it.

Once the bouquet of flowers was in her hands, Qian Zheng stood rooted to the ground. She only reacted when she saw Fu Yuanxiu leading Xue Xi to the side to look at the painting.

F*ck!

She was not Fu Yuanxiu’s assistant. Why should she help him take the flowers?!

Qian Zheng was fuming, but she did not want to follow them. When she heard them discussing art, she felt as though her head was going to explode and she was about to fall asleep.

She decided to just stroll around.

Just as everyone was praising Gu Yunqing, she suddenly turned around and saw her old rival. Her eyes lit up and she smiled as she walked over. “Qian Zheng, are you here to view the exhibition too?”

Qian Zheng: “...”

She really wanted to vomit when she saw Gu Yunqing’s fake appearance.

Qian Zheng pouted.

However, the person behind Gu Yunqing said, “Yunqing, this is?”

Gu Yunqing smiled. “This is Qian Zheng, the eldest daughter of the Qian family. She is also Chairman Qian Xin’s biological sister and the pearl of the Qian family.”

That person instantly praised, “So it’s Ms. Qian!”

Qian Zheng did not gloat after being praised. Instead, her heart tightened. Usually, when Gu Yunqing praised her like this, she would dig a hole for her.

Indeed, in the next second, Gu Yunqing said, “The Qian family is not just interested in business. Their members are very talented in art. Otherwise, Qian Zheng would not have come to such an art exhibition.”

Qian Zheng: “...”

She was starting to flatter her again!

Just as she was about to reject this idea, she heard the person behind Gu Yunqing say, “Is that so? That’s too surprising. Ms. Qian, can you explain the origin of art to us? This is also today’s topic!”

Qian Zheng: “!!!!”

F*ck!

She had only learned about oil paintings when she went after Fu Yuanxiu. What the hell was the origin of art?!

However, after that person said this, many people who’d entered looked at her, waiting for her answer.

What should she do now? She would embarrass herself! Especially now that she saw that Fu Yuanxiu seemed to have sensed something amiss and was walking over.
