Chapter 139: The Official Announcement
Boss Cutie
"Leng Ruoli is your girlfriend." A shy voice rang out.
The crowd gasped: Nice one!
The head of the Four Great Campus Belles had been taken!
Countless boys who were infatuated with the Cold Campus Belle had their hearts shattered on the spot.
Their Goddess had become Bro Mu's girlfriend.
Little White Dove and the others were thrilled: This move was absolutely brilliant.
Using someone else's proposal scene, it had turned directly into Muzi's official announcement.
Jiang Muye's gaze was cold as he looked at Xia Xiran. "I don't want my girlfriend to get jealous or feel the slightest bit uncomfortable, so please don't pester me anymore and don't disturb our lives."
With that, Jiang Muye gently cooed into his phone, "I'll be at the hospital right away."
All of his tenderness was witnessed by Xia Xiran.
Xia Xiran was overcome with grief. So he had a tender side too.
And yet all of this should have belonged to her.
Why had it been snatched away by Leng Ruoli?
She watched Jiang Muye's receding figure and bit down unhappily on her lower lip.
The hand hanging by the edge of her dress clenched into a fist.
She refused to accept it!
Why had Jiang Muye chosen Leng Ruoli of all people!
Leng Ruoli really snatched everything. After stealing the throne of head of the Four Great Campus Belles, she had also stolen the affections of all those admirers and the teachers' favor, and now she had brazenly stolen Jiang Muye too.
Kai said to Xia Xiran, "As his bro, I want to say something to you: you and Muzi are a thing of the past. He's started a new life, so you should start a new life too."
Little White Dove and Old He nodded along, and then left with Kai.
When the students who had been watching the spectacle saw there was no more fun to be had, they all went their separate ways.
Only Xia Xiran remained still on the spot, looking utterly forlorn.
Glasses Girl stepped forward to comfort Xia Xiran. "Xiran, he already has a girlfriend, so why don't we…"
But Xia Xiran grew agitated and poured out her grievances. "Why is it always me who has to give it up! Leng Ruoli stole Jiang Muye away, so why can't I take him back!"
Tears fell from Xia Xiran's eyes one by one, and she was overcome with grief. "I was clearly his fiancée! Why did he have to let me down and abandon me?"
"But he's already dissolved the engagement with you…"
"Did I agree to it?! Since neither family was notified, then my engagement to him is still valid, which means he betrayed me!" Xia Xiran seethed with jealousy. "I've never taken such a loss before. I absolutely can't just let it go!"
She viciously hurled the bouquet in her hand to the ground, her high heels cruelly trampling the roses, crushing them into a brilliant, vivid red.
…
After arriving at the hospital, Leng Ruoli asked with great concern, "Did Xia Xiran corner you?"
"Yeah, but don't worry, I handled it." Jiang Muye gave Leng Ruoli a smile and held her hand tightly without letting go. "Now that I'm officially taken, she definitely won't keep pestering me."
"That's good." Leng Ruoli smiled and nodded.
Just then, the alarm Jiang Muye had set went off.
"Time's up," Jiang Muye said after looking at the time.
"Time for what?" Leng Ruoli was baffled.
"Time for your anti-inflammatory medicine," Jiang Muye paused, then replied, "Did you think you could get out of it?"
Leng Ruoli didn't like taking medicine. She only took it when he reminded her, otherwise she'd skip her dose.
Leng Ruoli stuck out her tongue, extremely embarrassed. "I forgot."
"Alright, take your medicine now." Jiang Muye grabbed the anti-inflammatory medicine, poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to Leng Ruoli. "Here, take it."
Leng Ruoli put on a pitiful, innocent look and gazed at Jiang Muye.
Jiang Muye was a sucker for that look, but when it came to taking medicine, he was resolute.
"That look won't work on me. Come on, take your medicine properly."
"…Fine." Leng Ruoli smiled sweetly.
Actually, the anti-inflammatory medicine wasn't that hard to swallow. She just liked being coaxed by him.
"Knock knock knock." There was a knock at the door.
Jiang Muye turned to look, and there was the playful Jiang Xueli, wearing a white Lolita Snowball Cloak, quirky and cute, her little hands in Cat-Paw Gloves pinching at them through the air.
"Hehe~ Brother, Sister-in-law!" Jiang Xueli called out sweetly.
When Leng Ruoli heard Jiang Xueli's form of address, her little face turned bright red.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Muye was surprised.
"Sister-in-law is sick, so of course I had to come visit. Hehe, and drop off some chocolate while I'm at it." Jiang Xueli brought out the chocolate she had hidden behind her back and handed it to Leng Ruoli. "Here's to the two of you being sweet together."
"Thank you," Leng Ruoli said shyly.
"Bro, you're so charming, you even snagged such a pretty sister-in-law," Jiang Xueli marveled. "Who knows how many boys in West City are going to be losing sleep now. You're probably going to become public enemy number one."
"I'm not afraid." Jiang Muye was straightforward. "Whoever comes, I'll take them all on."
"Brother, you're pretty confident." Jiang Xueli giggled, then began shaking Leng Ruoli's arm and whining, "Sister-in-law, you have to lobby for me and talk some sense into Brother."
"Talk some sense into him about what?" Leng Ruoli blinked and asked.
"About cosplaying as my Lord Aotian, of course." Jiang Xueli looked pitiful. "I brought out all eighteen of my skills, but none of them moved him. He's as immovable as a boulder."
Jiang Muye glanced sidelong at Jiang Xueli. "I really am suited to cosplay. I'll give you the money, go find someone else."
Jiang Xueli pouted her red lips. "So heartless~"
She rested her head on Leng Ruoli's shoulder. "Please, Sister-in-law."
But Leng Ruoli shook her head. "There's nothing I can do about that."
"How is there nothing you can do? Aren't boys supposed to listen to their girlfriends?"
"Even though I'm his girlfriend, that doesn't mean I can guilt-trip him or force him to do something." Leng Ruoli's little face was flushed, but her tone was firm.
She liked Jiang Muye, but she didn't want him to sacrifice anything for her, or be forced to do things he didn't want to do.
When Jiang Muye heard Leng Ruoli's words, he was deeply moved.
He had really found himself a good girlfriend. When the critical moment came, she stood on his side.
"Fine then, you two are of one heart and mind, strong enough to cut through metal, ganging up to bully me together." Jiang Xueli crossed her arms huffily.
Seeing Jiang Xueli's reaction, Jiang Muye couldn't help but laugh. "How is this bullying? Say the word on anything else and I'll definitely help you."
"Alright, I'll remember that. Don't you go back on your word later." Jiang Xueli beamed, then looked at Leng Ruoli. "Sister-in-law, you be my witness."
Leng Ruoli nodded repeatedly and agreed.
"Oh, right, did you guys know! Sister Mi Lu hasn't come to class for days. I heard she's taking a leave of absence to go abroad." Jiang Xueli's words made Leng Ruoli's smile fade.
