Qiao Xiyan’s thoughts were wrong. Duan Linbai was really the clear stream among this group of people.

Song Fengwan even sent a message to Qiao Xiyan asking if he had also gone to the museum.

Qiao Xiyan only replied with three words. No, I’m busy.

In other words, don’t disturb me.

Song Fengwan pouted. Who provoked him? Is he so unwilling to talk to me?

On the other side, Tang Jingci was still taking photos in the museum.

The white magnolias and red brick walls were indescribably beautiful. This was something that

couldn’t be seen overseas, and the photos could only capture a bit of their beauty.

After the tour ended, Duan Linbai treated her to a meal.

“Miss Tang, what are your plans for the afternoon?” Duan Linbai asked.

“Idon’t have any plans. I’m just going to take a look around. If you have something to do, please go ahead. You don’t have to take care of me.” Tang Jingci was embarrassed to let him follow her.

“Tm going to do volunteer work. There’s nothing else. You can accompany me if you don’t have any plans.”

“Volunteer work?” Tang Jingci was surprised. He doesn’t look.

like someone who would do such a thing.

Duan Linbai explained briefly to her.

“Can I go take a look?”

“Of course.” Duan Linbai couldn’t wait for her to have a better impression of him.

After the two of them arrived at the Eye Appreciation Association, today’s volunteer activity was to go to a middle school near the suburbs of Beijing to help students examine their vision for free. They would also choose students who had excellent academic performance and character and give them

glasses.

Duan Linbai had always been a celebrity of the Eye Appreciation Association. As soon as he appeared, he was surrounded. Tang Jingci naturally stood aside and was taken care of by Duan Linbai’s assistant.

He often participated in association activities, and many socialites and young ladies in the Beijing circle would come to join in the fun. Other than promoting good deeds and gaining a good reputation, they could also show their faces in front of Duan Linbai.

‘And today, the He sisters were participating in the event.

Ever since He Xi had been caught having sex with the bodyguard in the restroom, and He Shiqing had been suspected of causing it, the two sisters’ relationship had been poor.

But only He Xi knew that she had gotten the knockout powder she had been drugged with. She didn’t dare to say anything and remained indifferent as she watched the elders push all the blame onto He Shiqing.

She needed to find someone to take the blame.

He Shiqing had been tricked by Song Fengwan and foung it difficult to speak. She knew that He Xi deserved it, but she still had to apologize to her. She felt very aggrieved.

The two sisters looked harmonious and happy at this moment, but they had long been at odds and were guarding against each other.

He Xi’s matter hadn’t been reported in the news, but everyone in the circle knew. So on the surface, these socialites greeted the sisters, but they also looked down on them in their hearts.

“Who’s the woman beside Young Master Duan? I’ve never seen her before.” As soon as Tang Jingci appeared, many people started whispering.

She had a superior aura and cold facial features. Standing still, she exuded an outward ostentatious aura that was very eye-catching.

“Maybe she’s some unknown internet celebrity!”

“Probably. I knew it the moment I saw her face. These internet celebrities have always been very capable.”

He Shiqing was helping, and she had never participated in such gossip.

She couldn’t decline with the He family. She had to quickly establish her image. After all, outsiders had only heard rumors about He Xi. There was room for manoeuvering in everything.

She had to use all means to climb up!

She had a good face and was strong-minded. After being schemed against by a little girl still wet behind the ears and suffering a big setback, how could she be willing?

“He Xi, stop playing with your phone. Help out.” He Shiqing was doing charity work everywhere, but He Xi had followed here to play.

Ever since that incident, her personality changed drastically. She was already arrogant and willful, but now, her eyes were gloomy, as if the entire world owed her.

She glanced sideways at He Shiging and ignored her. Old Madam He had asked her to go out to do charity and get acquainted with the people in the circle. She turned a deaf ear to her and went straight back to her car to sit.

‘Tang Jingci followed Duan Linbai and the others to help with the volunteer work. She was busy for more than two hours until Qiao Xiyan called.

“Senior Brother.”

“Eu Chen is inviting us to dinner tonight. Are you coming?” Since Qiao Xiyan was in Fu Chen’s territory, it was impossible for him not to go. He called Tang Jingci for Song Fengwan’s sake.

“Is Wanwan going?”

“Yes, I’m already at her school. Her class is ending soon.” Qiao Xiyan frowned. Could it be that if Wanwan doesn’t go, she won’t go either?

Does this mean that she’s unwilling to interact with me?

“Where are you eating? I’ll go.”

“Send me your address, and I’ll pick you up.” Qiao Xiyan didn’t dare to let her come by herself. If she became lost, he would be the one in trouble in the end.

Qiao Xiyan received the address. The navigation system said it would take twenty minutes to get there, so he sent her a message.

{Wait for me at the school gates in twenty minutes.

‘Tang Jingci told Duan Linbai. He naturally wanted to see her off, but the volunteer work wasn’t over yet.

“Senior Brother will come to pick me up. Don’t worry. I’ll send you a message when I get in the car.”

“Alright.” She was an adult, so she shouldn’t become lost. Duan Linbai didn’t think much about it.

He Xi was originally playing games with her head lowered, but her teammate hung up. She was so angry that she almost smashed her phone.

‘When she looked up, she saw an exceptionally familiar figure.

At this moment, Qiao Xiyan had already picked Song Fengwan up and arrived at the school gates. But it was stuffy in the car, and Tang Jingci hadn’t arrived for a long time, so he got out of the car and smoked a cigarette.

‘As soon as He Xi saw Qiao Xiyan, her eyes glowed.

Song Fengwan lowered the car window and reminded, “Cousin, smoke less.”

“Okay.” Qiao Xiyan nodded in response, but that was all.

In the past, when he carved day and night, he had smoked a lot to help stay awake, so it was difficult for him to quit.

This cold and handsome man smoking with his head tilted seemed to have a different kind of charm.

He Xi had an inexplicable obsession with Qiao Xiyan. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble to scheme against him previously. He was different from the young masters she had interacted with in the past. He had a reserved and domineering aura.

She didn’t expect to meet him here

If this isn’t fate, then what is?!

He Xi gripped her phone tightly and was wondering if she should go over and say something when she saw a woman run out of the school gates.

She was jogging over, and the fluttering skirt revealed her slender calves. She wasn’t afraid of the cold weather of early spring in the capital at all. She panted softly, and her face was slightly red. “Senior Brother, the school is too big. I ran to the wrong place.”

“You got lost…” Qiao Xiyan stubbed out his cigarette. “I should install a GPS on you in the future and tie you to me

“Incase you get lost and others think it’s my fault.”

Tang Jingci was so ashamed. The school buildings all looked similar, so she couldn’t be blamed.

She quickly ran into the back and saw Song Fengwan. She shared the photos she had taken today with a smile.

“Send this to me. I want it.”

The girls gathered together and chatted non-stop.

“Tl send them all to you.”

“You two even took a photo together? It looks good. Didn’t you and Cousin go out to play recently and didn’t take any photos?” Song Fengwan remembered that she didn’t have any photos of Qiao Xiyan on her phone and asked casually.

“Hah…” Tang Jingci choked.

Qiao Xiyan frowned and turned on the car radio. It was Deyunshe’s crosstalk.

Song Fengwan frowned. This is boring. Why is he playing this?!

Meanwhile, in another car, He Xi stared at the black Jaguar leaving her line of sight… Isn’t that person the unknown internet celebrity who followed Duan Linbai? Why is she

Of these two men, one was her ‘new love’, and the other was her ‘old love’. But now, they were occupied by the same woman? This woman’s appetite is really big!

Her nails dug into her phone, making creaking sounds. Her eyes became increasingly gray and dark..1
