160: Jealousy

Jealousy

Ye Qian looked at me with a smile. "What got you so distracted?"2

I smiled. "I suddenly thought of someone and wasn't paying attention."

Gu Yan who stood beside Ye Qian, said disdainfully, "Plotting how to harm others again, I see!"

I looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Are you crazy?"

Gu Yan sneered. "You're the one who's crazy!"

I took a step forward but Mai Qi pulled me back. "Sister Gu Yan, are you feeling better now?'

Gu Yan gave Mai Qi face and answered her politely, "Mai Qi, you need to keep your eyes open when you make friends. You must stay away from bad influences like her!"

Mai Qi's tone dropped. "Sister Gu Yan, are you saying I need your approval to make friends?"

Ye Qian quickly said, "Don't mind her. Gu Yan is not in a good mood." She quickly pulled Gu Yan away, "Xiao Yan, let's go have our meal. We shouldn't disturb Mai Qi and Nanxing anymore."

Gu Yan though shoved Ye Qian back and she hissed at me. "Who are you to force Jing Tian to admit to the public that you're his fiance? Do you know how much trouble you've brought him? Do you want to get him killed? You have already caused so many troubles for the Nan Family and Jing Ning and now you're coming for Jing Tian? Don't think that because you've saved him back then, you can use it to leverage it over him! How shameless can you be?"

Ye Qian pulled her back. "Gu Yan, that's enough."

I looked at Gu Yan and smiled. "Do I hear jealousy? Who are you to complain on Jing Tian's behalf? Who are you to Jing Tian? Even an ex-girlfriend would have more right to be jealous of me than you do.

"Jing Tian has been avoiding you, did you not notice that? So don't jump to his defense! Plus who put the idea in your mind that I was forcing Jing Tian? He admitted that I am his fiance because he approves of me as his fiance. Do you think people can force Jing Tian to do things against his will? Miss Gu, I'm sorry but that is how the cookie crumbles. He has chosen me over you, get over it!" I looked at her with a smug smile.

"You, you..." Gu Yan wanted to charge at me but Ye Qian stopped her. "Nanxing, you shouldn't say things like that!" Ye Qian grumbled at me. 

I chuckled. "Miss Ye, that was nothing. I've already given her enough face. It was she who provoked me. And why can't I say these things? Because Miss Gu can't bear to hear them?"

Gu Yan's finger trembled as she pointed at me. "You bitch! I'm going to tear your mouth off!"

"Tsk! Look at yourself. And you call yourself the young miss of the Gu Family. You're more like a street shrew." I continued.

Ye Qian pulled on Gu Yan and apologized to Mai Qi. "Mai Qi, you and Nanxing should head to your booth. We'll be leaving."

Gu Yan still wanted to say something but Ye Qian covered her mouth and dragged her away. Before Ye Qian left, she glanced at me. When she met my gaze, she immediately turned away but I caught the viciousness in her eyes. 

Mai Qi looked at them and sighed. "Nanxing, you're a real troublemaker!"

I raised my brow. "Why would you say that?"

Mai Qi looked at me. "I believe you have already offended all of my friends."

I hugged her. "I already told you, those friends of yours are not my friends, they are my enemies." Gu Yan's appearance didn't affect my appetite, I enjoyed the meal happily.

Mai Qi shook her head. "Nanxing, you're a really special person."

I glanced at her and swallowed the food in my mouth. "What do you mean by that? I'm an especially big eater? An especially pretty person or especially annoying?"

Mai Qi laughed and almost choked. "Nanxing, you're especially cute."

I made a face at her. "Why thank you."

Mai Qi sighed, "Why do you like Jing Tian? You would be perfect for my big brother. Your special soul will be perfect for him."

I halted. "You have a big brother? How come I never heard you mention him before?"

She shrugged. "What is there to mention? After all, we need to keep a low profile anyway. Do you know how much I envy normal people like you?"

I smiled. Such was the life of the daughter of a government official.

She sighed. "I moved here to study so that I can go out on the street like a normal person. No one knows my real identity. At home, I have to be followed by a group of people wherever I go. It's so annoying."

"They are there to protect you," I said.

She shook her head. "But there's no danger to protect me from. It's kinda boring."

"What? You want to get into danger?"

She pouted, "I have to use my mother's surname and my movement is always confidential. I was homeschooled until high school. I didn't get sent outside of my home until after I needed to attend an international school. It was supposed to be my big move out but I was followed by a troop of nannies. Since I can't reveal my identity, it's hard to make real friends."
