Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 653 - 654: When Women Turn Ruthless, Men Don’t Stand a Chance

"I can look after myself," she said softly. "Min Xin, don’t say you love me. Saying you love me will only hurt me. If you didn’t love me, I wouldn’t need to go abroad; I could live my life just fine. The money was from you, though, so I should thank you for that."

Min Xin’s mouth opened and closed, but not a single word came out.

Zhou Yu was actually right. Even if there was danger, he was the one who had brought it to her.

As long as he stayed away from her, she wouldn’t be in any danger. But now that she had his child, how could he possibly ignore her? The child, after all, was a weakness.

Min Xin’s voice grew hoarse. "Then do it for the child’s sake."

Zhou Yu lowered her gaze. "I plan to go abroad after the child is born. But I’ll be going on my own, not because of you." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Now that he knew the child was his, her going abroad this time probably meant she wouldn’t return.

Hearing this, Min Xin felt a pang as if a knife were twisting in his heart. He stared at her for a long moment. "Really... you haven’t reconsidered me at all?"

Zhou Yu shook her head.

Wang Yuan stood aside, feeling quite uncomfortable. Mr. Min was probably going to have another meltdown later.

Just as Min Xin was about to say something, Gu Anxi, who was at the door, chuckled. "Oh my, I always thought Mr. Min was so high and mighty, but it turns out even he can be so..."

She mouthed the next two words, and Min Xin looked like he was about to explode with anger.

Gu Anxi came over and said with mock concern, "You’re not getting any younger, Mr. Min. You should take care of your health, really."

Min Xin glared at her.

Zhou Yu, however, looked pleased to see Gu Anxi. "Anxi, have you had breakfast yet?"

Her attitude towards Gu Anxi was completely different from how she treated Min Xin.

Min Xin touched his nose. He’d been sitting here for ages, and she hadn’t even asked him.

Gu Anxi glanced at the breakfast on the table and patted her stomach. "Actually, I think I am hungry!"

Zhou Yu looked at Wang Yuan, who in turn looked at Min Xin.

Min Xin flared up. "What are you looking at me for? Go and buy some!"

Wang Yuan said gently, "You haven’t eaten breakfast either, sir. Shall I get a portion for you too?"

Min Xin scoffed. "Not hungry."

Zhou Yu looked at Min Xin, a curious expression on her face. "Then why have you been sitting here all this time if you’re not eating breakfast?"

Min Xin’s expression darkened even more.

Poor Master! Wang Yuan thought, his heart aching for him.

Gu Anxi propped her delicate chin on her hand and chuckled. "Oh dear, I’m actually starting to feel sorry for Mr. Min. This is a classic case of ’King Xiang pining for the Goddess, but the Goddess has no such feelings.’ And as the old saying goes, ’Fruit plucked by force is never sweet.’"

Min Xin shot Wang Yuan a look, signaling him to get lost. Wang Yuan, trying hard to suppress his laughter, quickly made his exit.

Once Wang Yuan was gone, Min Xin said bluntly, "Gu Anxi, aren’t you taking this too far?"

Gu Anxi looked at him and chuckled. "How have I gone too far?"

Min Xin gritted his teeth. "Even if it was forced, the fruit has been plucked."

Gu Anxi was still smiling. "Oh, the kind where the child calls someone else ’Daddy’?"

Zhou Yu shot Gu Anxi a reproachful look. "I’m not seeing anyone."

Gu Anxi patted her shoulder reassuringly. "Don’t worry. You’re so beautiful, there’ll be tons of men willing to help you raise your child. Just remember, don’t marry anyone who isn’t rich. You wouldn’t be able to handle your ex-husband’s troublemaking. Find a really wealthy guy who can provide for the child, let you live a life of leisure—beautiful and carefree—and most importantly, someone your ex-husband can’t touch."

Listening to Gu Anxi dispense this wisdom, Zhou Yu felt a little embarrassed; she hadn’t actually considered getting married at all.

Hearing this, Min Xin looked like he was about to explode.

He was so furious he wanted to strangle Gu Anxi.

But Gu Anxi wasn’t afraid of him in the slightest. On the contrary, she met his gaze with a provocative look.

Min Xin said coldly, "Don’t think I really wouldn’t dare to touch you just because you have King Jingyao backing you."

Gu Anxi sighed theatrically. "Ooh, I’m so scared."

She glanced at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu immediately said softly, "Why do you always pick on Anxi? She hasn’t done anything to you. In fact, she’s helped me a lot."

Min Xin’s heart skipped a beat. He fell silent, not uttering another word, looking thoroughly dejected.

When Wang Yuan returned with breakfast, he found his boss silent while the other two were cheerfully discussing children, parenting tips, and even which universities were better.

Wang Yuan smiled and placed the breakfast on the small coffee table. "I had to run to several streets to get this; it’s still hot. Little Gu, please eat."
