Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy-Chapter 536 - 528: 3 Times Shocked

Qian Qi: ?

Why are you suddenly talking about Su Ang?

"He came to see me before, and thought I was your boyfriend." Su Xingle sighed softly, "He even thought I was cheating on you behind your back and got worried you’d be heartbroken, so he offered me lots of very expensive things, hoping I’d break up with you peacefully."

Qian Qi: "..."

Qian Qi raised his hand to interrupt him, "So, why would he misunderstand that you’re my boyfriend?"

"I don’t know!" Su Xingle was also confused, "I’m curious too, why don’t you ask him?"

"You didn’t ask him?" Qian Qi exclaimed in shock.

Su Xingle scratched his head, "Nope, anyway, I kept all those things..."

"You kept them?!" Qian Qi was shocked again, amazed at Su Xingle’s nerve.

"Don’t misunderstand me!" Su Xingle hurriedly explained, "I kept them for you! Look at the chat logs, I said I’d give them all back to you when you returned!"

He rambled on, "Senior Su Ang is a bit silly. It’s said that a smart woman won’t deal with a love rival, but will focus her attention on the man. Similarly, a smart man shouldn’t deal with a love rival but focus on the woman! Giving me those things, he should have used them to win you over instead!"

"As for why I accepted them, I didn’t know Senior Su Ang liked you so much at first. Although he’s a national idol hero and has contributed a lot to human society, you never know someone’s true character. Who knows if, after dating you, he might spend money on you? Some men show two completely different faces to outsiders and lovers. I was afraid you’d suffer in the future, so I made the decision to keep those things."

"But later I discovered, it’s not that Senior Su Ang is too silly..." Su Xingle narrowed his eyes, examining Qian Qi with a new perspective, "It’s that, Junior Li, you’re too flirtatious, I’ve heard you have many boyfriends?"

Qian Qi: ?

Qian Qi: ???

Who? Who’s spreading these rumors!

She is single from birth!!!

Seeing Qian Qi so shocked, Su Xingle finally released his squinted eyes and said in surprise, "Isn’t it? This past month, Senior Su Ang has been subtly asking me if I know who your other boyfriends are."

Qian Qi couldn’t help but put her hand to her forehead, finding it somewhat amusing.

So, it was Su Ang who was spreading rumors about her having many boyfriends?

Why would he misunderstand that she had many boyfriends?

Wait a minute...

Some memories suddenly flashed through her mind. Qian Qi blinked and sorted them out carefully, then suddenly realized.

In the S-level dungeon, after they kissed, Su Ang asked her if she had a boyfriend. Wanting to act nonchalant and solidify their romantic relationship, she thought for a while and then came up with a perfect answer.

But before she could say it, she was interrupted by Su Ang’s merciless "The kiss just now didn’t mean anything."

So, was it at that moment that Su Ang mistakenly thought she was a player with a boyfriend while flirting with him?

Qian Qi thought carefully, no wonder after leaving the S-level dungeon, when she expressed her love to Su Ang again, he replied incoherently with something like, "He’s not that kind of person."

Did he think she wanted him to be the third wheel?

"Pfft." Qian Qi couldn’t help but chuckle.

But she soon restrained her smile because she suddenly realized that Su Ang, despite believing she had a lover, still chose to be with her.

Does he really like her that much?

Although Qian Qi vaguely knew that the concept of love in this world is different from her original world, she was still somewhat shocked that Su Ang, always appearing perfect, would do something like swallowing his pride for love.

Qian Qi felt a peculiar emotion inside.

Somewhat heartbroken, and also a bit... moved.

However, even if the kid thought she had a lover, why did he think she had many lovers???

Qian Qi raised her hand, rubbing her chin, thinking to herself, was it because her action of "having a boyfriend yet flirting with Su Ang" led Su Ang to think her boyfriends all come about like this?

Qian Qi couldn’t help but ask Su Xingle, "Senior Su, do I look like such a player?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Su Xingle examined her carefully, then brazenly replied, "You look more like a destined-to-be-lonely singleton."

Qian Qi: ...

The senior has good insight.

If she were in her original world, she really might have been someone destined to be alone, never marrying or dating.

Even in this world, if not for meeting Su Ang who happens to fit her aesthetic and also "explodes with coins," she might have chosen to live alone.

Thinking about this, Qian Qi’s mood inevitably brightened.

For some reason, she now especially wanted to see Su Ang, "So Senior Su, do you know where my handsome, rich, and charming boyfriend is now?"

Like a child showing off, her eyes and tone were full of satisfaction. Su Xingle couldn’t help but roll his eyes slightly, "Your handsome, rich, and charming boyfriend is probably working overtime in the Magic Beast Tide outbreak zone. During an interview a few days ago, when asked why he was suddenly active again, he said it was because you like men with inner beauty."

Qian Qi raised an eyebrow: Oh?

Looks like her little boyfriend doesn’t completely know her, she actually prefers men with outer beauty.

"Then I’ll go find him! Bye!" Qian Qi’s eyes curved into a smile. Strangely, this time when she smiled, it was exceptionally gentle and beautiful; the midday light fell on the leaves, and a breeze rustled them, casting light and shadow like a soft filter upon her. She waved and called out to Su Xingle as she walked back, "Wishing Senior Su and Junior Li a long and prosperous relationship, I’ll definitely send a congratulatory gift next time!"

"Thanks! Wishing you and Senior Su Ang a long and prosperous relationship too!" Su Xinghe shouted.

"Long and prosperous," such beautiful words.

Yet in this world, "long and prosperous" is the hardest wish to achieve.

The girl walked quickly toward the back mountain, the sky suddenly darkened without notice, and the shadows of the passing trees gradually gathered behind her, connecting to Su Xingle at the other end of the mountain, like a giant two-headed black mythical beast that swallowed them both into the shadow.

...

After inspecting the back hill’s situation and solving problems for the Magic Plants students, Qian Qi finally opened Light Brain and sent a video call invitation to Su Ang.

It took ten seconds to connect, Su Ang’s silvery hair first appearing in frame. He seemed to be floating in the air, with misty clouds behind him, while the deep mist echoed with the low growls of magic beasts. His silver hair was stained with flecks of blood, like plum blossoms blossoming on silver branches, charmingly mesmerizing.

"Qiqi?" The young man’s eyes lowered, gazing affectionately at the Light Brain screen projecting the girl, "Are you done?"

"Yes, but it seems like you’re not done yet?" Qian Qi calmly observed the fatigue between his brows. Even though Su Ang tried to hide it, Qian Qi could tell he was very tired, "Is the situation troublesome? Where are you? I’ll come find you."

Su Ang glanced at the white mist and lowered his eyes again, "It’ll be done soon; I’ll come find you."

"You don’t want to say? Then I’ll go ask your dad?" Qian Qi raised an eyebrow, "He should be more than willing to tell me where you are."

Su Ang immediately chuckled softly, "Qiqi, you’re bad."

Qian Qi shrugged, indifferent, "Send me the location, don’t dawdle."

Su Ang quietly agreed, sending the location over. When Qian Qi opened it, she found the place familiar, wasn’t it near the location Xi Pingzhe sent before?

Was he training along with the senior’s wife?

Qian Qi closed the Light Brain, entrusted Zhang Feng and Liang Yuting with some things, and then drove the hovercar towards the located spot.
