Chapter 409: She Misunderstood
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Murong Qiao looked at the bruise on Nan Hao’s forehead and his feigned calmness. Her furrowed brows didn’t relax.
“I should be the one asking you this. Why did you come to Hui University to fight?” Murong Qiao asked.
Just now, Yang Xin had sent a message saying that Nan Hao had attacked first. This made Murong Qiao’s tone towards him inevitably become a little tougher.
Nan Hao was stunned. “…It just happened.”
He clearly didn’t want to say anything, but his attitude looked even more rebellious in Murong Qiao’s eyes.
Even the good impression of Nan Hao coming over to apologize was wiped away by Murong Qiao at this moment.
“What do you mean by ‘it just happened’?” Murong Qiao frowned. “I thought you were already mature…”
“…” Nan Hao only remained silent.
He turned his head away, feeling awkward and not wanting to look Murong Qiao in the eye. It was obvious that he didn’t want to discuss this topic.
Murong Qiao laughed angrily at him. “Nan Hao, to think I thought you had become much more mature.”
“In the end, you’re still the same. Young people are impulsive and resolve everything with their fists, right?” she said.
However, Nan Hao only remained silent from the beginning to the end.
He pursed his lips and didn’t refute anything Murong Qiao said to him.
He would rather let Murong Qiao misunderstand him than explain, let alone repeat the dirty words of the two boys for Murong Qiao to hear.
“Forget it…” Murong Qiao laughed angrily.
Looking at Nan Hao’s stubborn expression and how he only listened to her, Murong Qiao felt like she had punched cotton.
She couldn’t be bothered to talk to this person.
Murong Qiao turned around and planned to leave directly, but before she could take a step out, a bag was stuffed into her arms.
The sweet smell of cream wafted out faintly, and there seemed to be a hint of chocolate. There was a high chance that it was filled with desserts.
“For you,” Nan Hao said.
However, that was all he said before leaving.
As if he was afraid that Murong Qiao would return the bag, Nan Hao left in a hurry.
After watching Nan Hao walk away, Yang Xin, who was standing at the side, moved to Murong Qiao’s side. She looked a little surprised.
“Don’t tell me you guys quarreled… He looks so fierce,” Yang Xin asked weakly.
Murong Qiao narrowed her eyes and looked at the bag in her arms with a puzzled expression. “I don’t know.”
How could she understand what Nan Hao was thinking? She only felt that there was something wrong with the other party today.
“Maybe he went crazy,” Murong Qiao said casually. “Forget it, let’s go eat.”
She called out to Yang Xin and walked towards the canteen, not wanting this matter to affect her.
However, when the two of them went to the canteen to get food and find a seat, they heard the two girls discussing at the next table.
“Do you know the boy who fought in the teaching building just now? He’s so handsome, but he doesn’t seem to be from our school.”
“I don’t know, but his punch at that time simply hit my heart!”
“That’s right, that’s right. If I could be protected by him so much… Tsk, indeed,
I don’t have the good fortune to find such a good man.”
“Dream on. It’s obvious that he’s interested in Murong Qiao.”
The short conversation stirred Murong Qiao’s ears.
“Excuse me,” Murong Qiao said softly.
The two girls stopped talking and followed the voice to realize that the person they had been discussing was actually sitting beside them.
However, Murong Qiao’s focus was on the conversation just now. “Regarding what you said… what was the situation just now?”
“About the fight?” The girl thought for a moment and replied, “There were two boys at that time…”
The girl briefly described the cause of the incident. Of course, she skipped the dirty talk very amicably, but it also made Murong Qiao understand the entire matter.
“…” Murong Qiao responded with silence.
She had never thought that this was the reason why Nan Hao would fight with the two boys.
But if this was the case, in Nan Hao’s eyes, her words and attitude just now…
It was rare for Murong Qiao’s thoughts to be a little chaotic, but fortunately, her rationality allowed her to maintain her composure. She first thanked the two girls before sitting back down.
“Actually… from the looks of it, that person is quite good.” Yang Xin clearly heard it too.
Her face was filled with embarrassment. After all, she was the one who told Murong Qiao about this. Thinking that she might have exaggerated a little and made the siblings’ atmosphere tense, Yang Xin suddenly felt that there was something wrong with herself.
Murong Qiao lowered her eyes and stared at the food on the plate without eating.
She had misunderstood Nan Hao.
Murong Qiao realized this. “He’s not bad.”
She only gave this answer before eating without saying anything else. Yang Xin also closed her mouth when she saw this.
After lunch, Murong Qiao’s original plan was to return to the company to deal with the documents, but she encountered Ruan Ying and An Nuo waiting for her in the office.
The bright sunlight shone wantonly in the office in the afternoon. Two girls occupied the two ends of the sofa on the left and right. There were also poker cards that looked like they were half-played in the middle.
Murong Qiao saw this scene as soon as she entered. Then, she noticed the note on Ruan Ying’s face.
Unfortunately, this round was destined to be interrupted by her arrival.
Ruan Ying was the first to notice her.
“Qiaoqiao—” She immediately threw away her cards. “You’re finally here!”
Ruan Ying hugged her and gave her a big hug. Under An Nuo’s half-smiling gaze behind her, she shamelessly pulled off the note on her face.
“An Nuo bullied me!” Ruan Ying complained.
An Nuo stood up slowly. “It’s clearly you who’s inferior. You’re blaming me?”
These two people were quite free. They were probably bored while waiting for Murong Qiao to come, so they simply played cards.
“What I taught you was already the simplest. It was clearly you—” An Nuo nodded her head.
Ruan Ying was annoyed. “You’re the one who’s not smart!”
Ruan Ying turned around and went to tease An Nuo again. The two of them played around, and Murong Qiao couldn’t help but smile.
The three of them had not gathered much recently. It was rare for them to be together this time, so Murong Qiao was not in a hurry to work.
“By the way, I almost forgot about the serious matter.” An Nuo patted her head and said in frustration.
She opened the bag on the coffee table, then took out the mousse puff and other delicious food and pulled Murong Qiao to sit down.
“We bought these. They’re all your favorite flavors.” An Nuo stuffed her a chocolate cake. “Let’s go out to play in the afternoon? I asked Jiang Chi. There’s nothing important at the company.”
Ruan Ying nodded as well and looked at Murong Qiao expectantly, waiting for her answer.
The fragrance of the chocolate was rich and sweet. It was the kind that could make one drool even with just a sense of smell. Coupled with the fragrant and soft cream inside, it was very delicious.
“Have the two of you planned this?” Murong Qiao asked.
Ruan Ying subconsciously replied, “I was afraid that you would be sad. Who asked those people on the Internet—”
She stopped mid-sentence and covered her mouth as she looked at Murong Qiao apologetically.
She didn’t want to mention such an upsetting matter, but when Murong Qiao asked just now, she answered instinctively.
Only then did Murong Qiao understand why these two people could get together and even ask her out.
“I’m fine.” Murong Qiao shook her head, but the warmth in her heart wrapped around her.
She hugged An Nuo and Ruan Ying. “I didn’t take those words to heart, so there’s no need to think of me as so fragile.”
However, she could sense their good intentions. An Nuo and Ruan Ying were standing in front of her, and Murong Qiao rarely indulged herself.
“We’ve all planned it out. There’s a very good afternoon tea restaurant. My family even opened a new amusement park, and the shop we liked last time seems to have new items…” Ruan Ying said excitedly..
