Bai Jing knew she had no reason to reject the opportunity to go to T University. In other words, she should be overjoyed.
Was her response too strange earlier on?
Bai Jing’s heart was palpitating in a frenzy.
Su Yue inched closer to Bai Jing. “I want to ask you something.”
Bai Jing glanced askew at Su Yue and noticed her beaming at her. She raised her eyebrows, looking confused.
Su Yue said in a hushed voice, “Do you like my brother?”
It startled Bai Jing. “Wh—at?”
She guiltily dodged Su Yue’s eyes.
“Why are you so nervous…” Su Yue observed Bai Jing, and she smugly replied, “Looks like I’m right. You like my brother, am I right? No wonder you kept looking across the table earlier on.”
“Su Yue!” Bai Jing yelled to stop Su Yue from guessing further.
Her reaction shocked Su Yue, and she frowned. “What’s wrong?”
“Are you feeling shy?” she asked in a hushed voice once more. “Don’t worry, I’m on your side. I feel that the arrogant clown isn’t compatible with my brother.”
Bai Jing denied by furiously shaking her head. “No, stop your nonsense. I don’t like your brother at all.”
She stole a glance at the second level and it was empty. Her heart was empty as well and it made her jittery.
Cold sweat had covered her palm, and she felt as if someone had caught her red-handed.
She just wanted to flee this place.
Su Yue furrowed her eyebrows and asked indignantly, “Is my brother not good enough?”
“I’m having a headache.” Bai Jing rubbed her temples as though she was in pain. “I want to go back, can you help me get my bag?”
Su Yue assumed that Bai Jing was angry with her and she pursed her lips. “Don’t be angry. I won’t ask you anymore. I’ll go get you your bag.”
She turned around and ascended the stairs.
Bai Jing watched Su Yue absent mindedly as she tried to fathom Yan Rusheng’s thoughts. She suspected that he might be suspicious of her.
She felt uneasy.
“There you go.” Su Yue passed the bag to Bai Jing before she turned around towards the dining room. “I’ll ask Third sister-in-law to get someone to send you home.”
Xuxu just came out from the dining room together with Su Yan, and they were happily conversing.
Su Yue shouted in her direction. “Third sister-in-law, Bai Jing is going back. Can you ask someone to send her home?”
Su Yue still didn’t feel like a part of this family, neither did she treat herself as a mistress. Every time she needed a chauffeur, she would seek permission from Xuxu first.
Xuxu glanced at them and hastened her footsteps. “Why don’t you stay for a while more?” asked Xuxu.
Bai Jing smiled. “It’s alright. I want to rest early tonight as I studied late last night. I’m having a headache.”
Xuxu didn’t insist further. “I’ll get the chauffeur…”
Bai Jing cut across and politely declined. “I’ll just flag for a taxi.”
She glanced at Su Yan and nodded before she turned around.
Su Yan suddenly interjected, “Bai Jing, I’m going back with Yueyue. Let me send you.”
Xuxu nodded and immediately said, “Sounds good, since both of you are headed in the same direction.”
