Chapter 187: Third Brother Splits Them Up

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The moment Murong Chuan called out her full name, Murong Qiao started thinking of how to explain herself.

“Big Brother.” Murong Qiao stood up and looked at him.

She didn’t expect to meet Murong Chuan here.

In order to find peace, Murong Qiao specially found a place with fewer people. In the end, she was still so unlucky and even let Murong Chuan catch her.

Other than glancing at Murong Chuan at the beginning, Murong Qiao’s gaze was on the floor the entire time.

It was impossible not to feel guilty.

“Professor Murong.” Huo Yichen stood up and greeted Murong Chuan as usual.

His tone was calm, as if he had not just been caught with Murong Qiao. He looked very carefree, even surprising Murong Chuan.

“If there’s anything you don’t know, you can come to my office to look for me,” Murong Chuan asked.

His tone was calm and his expression was cold. He didn’t look angry at all.

Murong Qiao secretly a.s.sessed her Third Brother’s current state.

Of course, Murong Qiao still felt that Murong Chuan was like a volcano that was about to erupt.

It was the kind that would erupt with the slightest spark.

And Murong Qiao was the catalyst.

“I’m afraid of disturbing Big Brother.” Murong Qiao’s survival instincts made her go forward and hold Murong Chuan’s arm.

She was afraid that he would vent his anger on Huo Yichen, so she subconsciously did this. There was an indescribable fawning tone in her voice.

Hearing his Little Sister’s sweet voice ringing in his ears, Murong Chuan’s mood improved a little, but his unfriendly gaze remained on Huo Yichen.

Of course, he remembered Huo Yichen. After the incident at the racecourse, Murong Chuan had investigated Huo Yichen’s ident.i.ty.

“In that case, come back with me.” Murong Chuan looked at Murong Qiao.

Regardless of whether he was really tutoring her or not, Murong Chuan would definitely not let the two of them stay together again.

Murong Chuan still remembered what Murong Chen said to him before.

Although he wasn’t a close-minded person, when it came to his younger sister, Murong Chuan couldn’t accept his carefully nurtured cabbage being taken advantage of by a pig.

“Okay.” Murong Qiao nodded vigorously.

She wished she could quickly pull the two of them apart. Otherwise, she felt that something more terrifying than the end of the world would happen.

Hence, Murong Qiao quickly packed her things and planned to leave with Murong Chuan.

From the beginning to the end, Huo Yichen didn’t say much. He just stood at the side and watched the siblings converse.

“Goodbye, Cla.s.smate Huo!” Murong Qiao said goodbye.

Huo Yichen waved his hand subconsciously, but he was a little concerned about how Murong Qiao addressed him.

He looked in the direction where the two of them had left and met Murong Chuan’s gaze. He saw the probing and hostility in the depths of Murong Chuan’s eyes.

If he still couldn’t tell that Murong Chuan was guarding against him, Huo Yichen would be letting his brain down.

He had a headache.

“The road ahead is long.” Huo Yichen sighed.

Not long after Murong Qiao left, Huo Yichen also left.

However, he secretly decided to be more careful in school in the future to prevent such a thing from happening again.

Huo Yichen didn’t want to be interrupted by Murong Chuan while he was having a sweet time.

Meanwhile, Murong Qiao followed Murong Chuan back to his office without a word.

“You study here. 1’11 work over there.” Murong Chuan arranged a seat for her. “Ask me if there’s anything you don’t know.”

After saying that, Murong Chuan returned to his seat.

Murong Qiao placed the book on the table and secretly sized up Murong Chuan’s domain.

This was her first time in Murong Chuan’s office.

The union of sky blue and pure white colors gave the room a relaxing and refreshing vibe. Murong Chuan’s style was simple yet elegant, and although the office was large, there were only some basic supplies which made the entire office look very empty.

Fortunately, the few pots of green plants on the windowsill made the empty s.p.a.ce a little more lively. The leaves of the plants that were basking in the sunlight swayed to the breeze from time to time. From their lively appearance, it was obvious that they had been taken good care of.

Murong Qiao didn’t say anything after observing. She just took out her book and spread it on the table before starting to study seriously.

“27% of the stock market shares have been affected today…” A soft voice came from Murong Chuan’s side.

Murong Chuan was mult.i.tasking. He listened to a video on the computer and occasionally checked on Murong Qiao.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his Little Sister was studying seriously. However, he still frowned in frustration and glanced at the speaker.

It seemed that he had to buy a set of earphones as a backup next time to avoid disturbing Qiaoqiao.

As for Murong Qiao, although her gaze was on the textbook, she was not focused. Instead, she could sense Murong Chuan’s eyes on her.

In her heart, she knew Murong Chuan’s intentions. He said that he would help her study, but in reality, he was just keeping watch over her and didn’t want her to go out.

Stifling.

For the entire afternoon, the siblings did not speak. One studied while the other a.n.a.lyzed attentively.

It was not until the bell rang at night that Murong Qiao got up and bid farewell to Murong Chuan, planning to return to the dormitory.

“Goodbye, Third Brother.” Murong Qiao said goodbye to him.

After saying that, Murong Qiao gently closed the door and quickened her pace, only heaving a sigh of relief when she walked out of the building.

It was as if a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

She was not in the mood to eat today and thus, Murong Qiao simply gave up the idea of going to the canteen. In the end, she just bought a loaf of bread and returned to the dormitory.

When she returned, the other three were there, but the atmosphere was a little strange.

“Qiaoqiao!” As usual, Yang Xin welcomed her warmly.

Murong Qiao could already catch Yang Xin’s bear hug skillfully.

She first sorted her books and then turned to look at Yang Xin.

However, Yang Xin winked at her and signaled her to look at Zheng Yue.

“Control yourself.” Leng Yan patted Yang Xin’s shoulder helplessly.

Murong Qiao understood what Yang Xin meant.

She looked at Zheng Yue’s position and immediately understood why Yang Xin’s expression was strange.

Zheng Yue was sitting on a chair, her eyes bright as she fiddled with a laptop. Her expression was very novel.

The key was that the laptop was not second-hand, but a brand new one. Although Murong Qiao did not pay attention to brands and styles, she could tell that this laptop must be expensive.

She instantly had an understanding.

“Alright, go do your own things.” Murong Qiao didn’t say anything and got into bed first.

With Zheng Yue’s financial situation, she didn’t need to think to know that this computer was a gift from Nan Kang.

It seemed that Nan Kang and Zheng Yue were getting along well. The company was already in this state, but he still had the money to curry favor with a girl. He performed better than she had expected.

Murong Qiao couldn’t tell if she was feeling happy or sarcastic. Seeing that things were going according to her expectations, she was relieved.

As soon as she got into bed, Yang Xin quickly pulled her into the discussion group.

[Yang Xin: What do you think is going on with Zheng Yue? Has she found a sugar daddy?]

[Leng Yan: Whatever happens to her is her business. Let’s just watch.]

The cell phone vibrated twice. At this moment, the silence in the dormitory was especially obvious.

Murong Qiao turned the phone to silent mode and glanced at Zheng Yue through the gap in the bed curtain, who was still below.

Zheng Yue was in the dormitory but the three of them did not speak to her, making the atmosphere in the dormitory much stranger.

[Yang Xin: I’m just gossiping. Besides, aren’t you curious? She needed our help to pay for her meals two days ago. Now, she can even afford such an expensive laptop!]

[Yang Xin: And when I saw her at the school gate the day before yesterday, she came back in someone else’s car!]

The notifications from the three people’s discussion group kept popping up..
