The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy

Chapter 769 - 757

"Who told you I was helping him? I could never help someone like that in my life!"

At first, it might be possible to disguise oneself a little, but human nature cannot be disguised. Zhou Mingqi has already exposed his selfish and shameless character!

Qiao Qiqi said she didn’t want people to know she participated in this research, so he took the opportunity to claim the credit for himself.

She saw through it but didn’t say anything, which is also the result she wanted.

He probably thinks she’s a fool, secretly.

Heh, let him laugh now, the happier he is now, the harder he’ll cry in the future.

"Alright, let me know if you need my help." Gu Shili fed her a piece of mango.

"Ah~" Qiao Qiqi was just craving mango, so she opened her mouth for more.

Gu Shili fed her two more pieces.

Only then did Qiao Qiqi chew in satisfaction.

Gu Shili especially loved watching Qiao Qiqi eat. She ate like an adorable little hamster, her cheeks puffing up, super cute.

After eating, Qiao Qiqi leaned against Gu Shili’s shoulder and soon fell asleep. She had been really tired lately, with lots of schoolwork and working in the lab every night.

Gu Shili felt incredibly sorry for her. When they got home, he carefully carried her out of the car and all the way upstairs to the bed.

After tucking her in, he gently kissed her forehead before reluctantly leaving the room to rest.

...

The next day, after breakfast, Qiao Qiqi and Gu Shili went to school together. In the car, Gu Shili received a call, and his expression immediately turned grim.

"What’s wrong? What happened?"

"Li Ze called just now. He said Youyou and Sister Yun have gone missing." Gu Shili had been staying in the Capital City with Qiao Qiqi, not dealing with matters there. Since he said not to disturb him, no one dared, but who would have thought something this big would happen.

"Did they disappear during a special mission?" Qiao Qiqi also got a bit nervous. These people were comrades who had faced life and death with her.

Especially Sister Yun, she greatly admired that spirited and straightforward woman.

"Yes, I need to go, I can’t stay with you recently." Gu Shili couldn’t bear to leave her. In the past, when they weren’t frequently together, he missed her but not like this.

After spending so much time together every day, he wished he could always be with her, never wanting to be apart for a moment.

"Go quickly. I’m fine here, isn’t Gu Cheng still around?" Qiao Qiqi understood; his good friends were missing, so he must be anxious, just like last time when he was missing, and his friends were incredibly worried too.

"I’ll leave after I drop you off at school."

After reaching the school, Gu Shili repeatedly reminded her to eat well, contact Gu Cheng if anything happened, not to push herself too hard, and so on.

Gu Cheng was also instructed many times, nodding continuously.

After arriving at school, Qiao Qiqi got off the car, and Gu Cheng drove him to the airport.

Only then did Qiao Qiqi turn and walk into the school, feeling a sense of reluctance towards Gu Shili for the first time.

Upon reaching the school, Qiao Qiqi noticed that classmates seemed to be whispering as they looked at her, but she didn’t care much about it. If she were too concerned about others’ opinions, she wouldn’t get anything done.

It wasn’t until she ran into Jiang Meng that Qiao Qiqi learned what had happened. Turns out, it had spread throughout the school that because of Qiao Qiqi, the top scorer, the principal had fired Teacher Yang, and that Jing University wasn’t on the invitation list for this year’s medical conference!
