Arrogant Wife, Don’t Run Away - C45

Shen Xingyue ran frantically all the way until finally, at nine o’clock, she rushed into the competition hall, “Sorry, I was late.” He trotted over to Gu Luocheng’s side, panting heavily. After apologizing, he hurriedly picked up the question card and had all of the contestants waiting on stage draw. After that, he left the last card for himself.

After handing out the question cards, Shen Xingyue sat paralyzed on her chair as she listened to the host’s explanation of the rules. After listening to the host’s explanation of the rules, Shen Xingyue calmed herself down and got up to tidy up her clothes.

Just as the host was about to announce Shen Xingyue’s name, Gu Luocheng suddenly called for her to stop. The sudden turn of events caused the students below to start discussing softly.

After Gu Luocheng conversed with the host for a while, the host passed the microphone to him and slowly got up. He politely apologized to everyone and then announced a shocking piece of news.

Due to Student Shen Xingyue being late, our judges have unanimously decided that she will be the last one to participate in the competition. At the same time, she is also warning all of us competitors to not be late.

Shen Xingyue looked at this piece of news in disbelief. She looked at Gu Luocheng with incomprehensible eyes. He was clearly taking his revenge on her. In a moment of anger, he rushed in front of her and snatched the microphone away.

“Professor Gu, I don’t quite understand the lateness in your eyes. May I ask when will our match begin?” Shen Xingyue tried her best to maintain a calm demeanor as she asked this question, then aimed the microphone at Gu Luocheng.

He turned around with a smile, and after watching Shen Xingyue finish speaking, he slightly nodded his head, “The competition is held at 9 o’clock, but as the contestant in first place, I believe that he was informed that he would be appearing ten minutes in advance. As for you, fellow student, the competition has already begun. Your actions have already delayed everyone for a long time.

Everyone held their breath as they looked at the two opposing parties. At this moment, the rumours about the relationship between Professor Gu and Shen Xingyue gradually began to disintegrate in the hearts of the people due to this matter.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at Gu Luocheng, smiling as he nodded, “I’m sorry.” Returning the microphone to the host, he silently walked to the seat of the last person waiting there and sat down. His back seemed very lonely.

The lonely expression on her face still stung Shen Xingyue’s heart. She turned her head and pretended to be indifferent as she continued to watch the competition.

When it was Shen Xingyue’s turn to compete, the number of people in the competition arena, which should have been sparse, increased a little. Those who had watched her first match already understood that Shen Xingyue had the ability to compete.

Each contestant had half an hour to design a sketch, during which the contestant from before demonstrated his or her work and outlined its concept and meaning.

The blueprint for the design had long since been pre-set. Adding the words in the inscription drawn today, Shen Xingyue very quickly finished her own sketch. The instant she raised her head, she caught Gu Luocheng’s gaze.

Looking at those eyes, Shen Xingyue still didn’t understand. However, now was not the time to think about it, and she decided to finish this competition peacefully. After today, it would be the finals, and at that time, her wish for so many years would be fulfilled.

“Shen Xingyue’s design is simply too praiseworthy. She really does have the strength.” After the match ended, the crowd slowly walked out of the arena and whispered to each other about the match that had just ended.

“Why do you think the heavens are so unfair? They gave her face and gave her such an outstanding gene.”

Shen Xingyue, who was tidying up her things in the arena, was completely unaware of the people’s envy and praise towards her. She quietly tidied up her things.

After packing her things, Shen Xingyue stood up to leave, not noticing that there was another person on her seat.

“Assistant Shen, do you have anything to explain to me about being late today?” A magnetic voice echoed in the spacious auditorium.

He knew the answer even without looking at his face. He turned around slowly and put on a standard smile, “I just woke up late, there’s nothing to explain. Besides, Professor Gu might not reply to anything I say.”

He got up and slowly walked towards Shen Xingyue, “How would you know I wouldn’t believe you if you didn’t tell me? I remember someone told me yesterday that if I ever called, I would pick up the phone and appear in time, but now, Assistant Shen seems to be lying. ” He had called Shen Xingyue at eight-thirty, and there were more than one.

Ye Zichen took out his phone suspiciously, only to find a bunch of missed calls lying on the screen, while the bright red call seemed like it was mocking him.

“Sorry.” Since he had a problem, there was nothing left to say. He apologetically bowed to Gu Luocheng, turned around, and walked out.

“I’m going back to my apartment tonight. I don’t want to see anything like this happen again. I don’t care where you go after the competition, but I do hope that Assistant Shen can restrain herself during this period of time.” Although his voice was not loud, there was no need to doubt it.

Restraint yourself? What do you mean? Did he think he was with Gu Chen Yang? Turning around, she glared at him in dissatisfaction, “I’m not as dissolute as Professor Gu thinks. I’ve been staying at Fang Qian’s house for the past few days. I wonder what restraints are needed when the two of us are together?”

A hint of surprise flashed through her black eyes. She didn’t return to Gu Chenyang’s side, blaming herself for being too presumptuous during this period of time and not being able to clearly investigate the situation. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry for hurting you with my words.”

With a cold harrumph, he walked out of the room. He really didn’t understand why the other party would think this way.

“How did you get out?” Fang Qian waited at the door for Shen Xingyue for a while. Originally, the two of them would have been late, but when Gu Chen Yang had pestered her this morning, she had let him leave first.

He sighed and turned around to look at the auditorium. “I can’t stay with you for this period of time.” As he was about to return to the apartment, he didn’t know how to express his feelings.

“Then where do you live?” Following Shen Xingyue’s gaze, he only saw the auditorium wrapped in darkness. Other than that, he didn’t see anything else.

He extended his hand and pointed in the direction of the apartment building, then turned his head and looked at Fang Qian with a bitter smile, his expression filled with helplessness.
