Chapter 7 The Act Is Over

“Ha...”?With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, Wen Muchu turned around quickly with his arms still wrapped around Lan Xiao’s waist. Then, without any hesitation, he took her away from the alley.

Although Lou Yucheng was furious, he could do nothing but watch the pair leave in each other’s arms.

“Wen Muchu...” His tone was cold and full of malice. He clenched his fists and whispered the name.

Wen Muchu kept leading Lan Xiao away from that cold alley until they reached a fork in the road. At that time, he loosened his grip on her waist.

“You can leave now...”

Lan Xiao froze and looked at him in confusion. “You... What do you mean?”

Wen Muchu sneered, “The act is over, right? You’ve already achieved your goal. Is it not enough?”

Lan Xiao’s hand shot up to support her head. Judging by Wen Muchu’s attitude, it was obvious that he hadn’t believed she had changed.

But it made sense. There had been a shift in her personality. It was impossible for anyone not to be suspicious. Besides, she had always been so hateful and stupid in the past.

Wen Muchu was a quiet man. He often acted like an iceberg that had been frozen for a thousand years.

If Lan Xiao hadn’t witnessed him dying for her in her previous life, she would never have believed that such a cold man could love her.

She had a headache. Why didn’t Wen Muchu express his love to her directly? Why did he hide it and deny it?

What a sullen man Wen Muchu was!

Now, she had taken the initiative to show her affection to him, but he still pushed her away. Why was he so sullen?

Suddenly, Lan Xiao felt her teeth ache as well.

If he kept rejecting her like this, how could she foster a relationship with him?

“Hey, Wen Muchu, can you pick me up tomorrow morning and take me to school?” Lan Xiao asked, swallowing her pride.

They were both students in grade three in high school. Wen Muchu was actually two years older than her, but since he had been born into poverty, he had started his schooling four years later than most children.

However, he was so excellent at his studies that he had been directly promoted from the first grade to the third grade when he was in junior middle school. After that, he had been exceptionally admitted to Ling City High School.

Ling City High School was different from other senior high schools. It was a school that accepted only students from rich and powerful families, and top students from poor families.

Obviously, Wen Muchu was a top student.

Every examination, he ranked number one in the school. Because of his outstanding performance and handsome face, he was very popular among girls, and he had even become the president of the student union.

Lan Xiao and Wen Muchu were classmates, but they sat on opposite ends of the classroom; one of them sat in the front row while the other sat in the back. Needless to say, Lan Xiao was the one who sat in the back row, because she was very bad at academics, and her grade was often among the worst.

Wen Muchu had gained his popularity not for his background, but for his great capabilities and stunning good looks.

Many girls in the school had a crush on him. They wrote love letters to him, gave him gifts, and constantly looked for opportunities to talk to him.

However, Wen Muchu didn’t care about love and romance at all, so he just ignored those girls. He was not afraid of offending others, and he never lowered his head to anyone, not even the ones in power.

He was one of the rare virtuous students in the school, not to mention the secret love of every girl there.

In his previous life, Wen Muchu hadn’t had the chance to go to college, because he had been framed for rape and thrown into prison. Lan Xiao knew nothing about how he had gotten out of prison and returned to his biological father, Wen Zhihuai, the current president.
