Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife

“That’s right,” Su Yue agreed, smiling as she nodded. She was glad that Bai Jing had come to terms with it.

She was wondering how to comfort Bai Jing, so she ignored the part where she mentioned her previous rumor.

Bai Jing pressed her lips together, looking at Su Yue gratefully. “Thank you, Su Yue.”

“We’re best friends,” Su Yue quipped. She was smiling innocently.

She looked at Bai Jing with a pure and innocent gaze.

…

Bai Jing’s scandal seemed to spread wilder than Su Yue’s.

Although Su Yue had already phoned Xuxu. She asked Yan Rusheng to inform the school to get the posters removed.

However, this incident still significantly affected Bai Jing.

People would give her odd looks whenever she stepped out of the door, so she gradually stopped leaving the dormitory room. She refused to attend lessons as well.

“Bai Jing, shall we go out for a meal later?” Su Yue asked. Whenever she left the house, she was always worried about Bai Jing. She was afraid that she would do something rash.

Xuxu instructed her to spend more time with her and bring her out for walks.

But Bai Jing refused every time.

Bai Jing was sitting before the desk, a mock paper before her. She was holding a pen as she pondered over the questions in all seriousness. It was as though she couldn’t hear Su Yue at all.

She had been going on like this for a few days and she didn’t seem to get better. Worried, Su Yue suggested, “Let’s grab a bite with Jiaojiao later, then catch a movie. Or we could go to the playground.”

Then she thought of something and her eyes brightened. She hugged her elbow and suggested with a smile, “Didn’t you say that you’ve always wanted to ride the revolving wooden horse? Let’s go tonight.”

Bai Jing only reacted since Su Yue grabbed her elbow. She turned around to look at her. She plainly replied, “Su Yue, you go ahead. I don’t feel like going.”

She then pushed Su Yue’s hand off her arm and returned her attention to the paper.

Su Yue didn’t give up. She pulled her arm again. “Let’s go together.”

Bai Jing put down her pen and turned around. She smiled at Su Yue and said, “I don’t want to be a ‘light bulb’ by going out with you and Jiao Chen. Don’t worry, I’m fine. I just want some time alone to process it all.”

Her voice was soft but adamant. Su Yue pursed her lips and didn’t press on further. “Then… Then I’ll buy dinner back for you.”

Bai Jing nodded and agreed.

After which she turned expressionless once again.

Su Yue pursed her lips. “I’ll get changed then.”

After turning around, she opened her cupboard doors and took out a stack of clothes.

It was her first date with Jiao Chen.

No, it was their first official date. Jiao Chen wanted to bring her out for a meal and a movie.

She felt that she should dress formally.

What exactly should she wear?

Su Yue glanced at the huge pile of clothes. Xuxu bought all of them. They were the newest autumn clothes across various brands.

Xuxu didn’t care about the brands of her own clothes, but she insisted on treating Su Yue like a princess. So all of Su Yue’s clothes were at least a thousand dollars.

She picked a few outfits and stood before the mirror. Finally, she settled on a blue body-hugging sweater, coupled with champagne red leather pants and black flats.

It was trendy, yet it wasn’t her usual cute style.

Her hair was tied up in a loose ponytail and her fringe was let down.
