The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement

96 The Press Conference

He could not go on like this. He could not be like that stupid dog. He had to stay away from her. It was enough as long as he treated her well behind her back.

All of this was in exchange for his freedom.

Jing Yan closed his eyes and told himself that he was doing it for freedom and not for some other inconceivable reason.

When He Miao woke up, Jing Yan had already finished his breakfast downstairs.

She smiled in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, I woke up late.”

“Grandpa is waiting for you to eat. I’ll go,” Jing Yan said indifferently. He lowered his head and continued to read the news about yesterday on his phone.

The news of the two of them getting into the same car last night spread like wildfire. Many people were guessing whether the two of them were really brother and sister or just a young couple to hide their relationship.

He and He Miao were a couple?

Jing Yan sneered. His eyes darkened as he watched He Miao eat with his grandfather.

On the way to university, He Miao and Jing Yan sat in the same car. His gaze never left the girl beside him. He furrowed his brows as he pondered over his feelings for her.

When they arrived at school, He Miao said goodbye to him naturally and turned to leave without hesitation.

Jing Yan subconsciously wanted to catch up with her, but he stopped after taking a step. His heart was greatly shocked.

He could not really not be able to leave her, right? Why did he feel so uncomfortable just by looking at her back as she left? The urge to hold her in his arms grew stronger and stronger, and his chest heaved up and down violently with his thoughts.

A certain blind person behind him suddenly raised his hand and placed it on his shoulder. “Brother Yan, why aren’t you going in? what are you standing at the door for?”

Jing Yan flung his arm away in a huff. “What does it have to do with you?”

Mu Xiao touched his nose, feeling wronged. “I didn’t provoke you.”

He pouted and looked at the direction Jing Yan was staring at, but did not find any pretty girl. He was suspicious, but he could not figure out why even when the bell rang.

In class, Mu Xiao looked at Jing Yan’s cold side profile and suddenly thought of the news he had read when he was scrolling through his phone last night. He slapped his thigh and shouted, “I got it!”

All the students looked at him in shock. The teacher slammed the desk and said angrily, “Mu Xiao, what do you know? You’re able to complete this website independently, right?”

“I’m sorry, professor. I didn’t do it on purpose.” Mu Xiao apologized immediately. He waited until the professor’s attention returned to the class before he approached Jing Yan and snickered. “Were you thinking about He wWei’s arrival just now? I couldn’t tell that you’re so nice to He Miao, but in reality, you’re just like me, eating what’s in your bowl while looking at what’s in the pot!”

Jing Yan frowned and looked at him in confusion. “You said He Wei is coming to campus? What is she doing here?”

“You don’t know?” Mu Xiao lowered his voice and asked, “So you were just thinking about He Miao just now?”

Jing Yan suppressed his anger and repeated patiently, “What is He Wei doing in campus?”

Mu Xiao pouted his lips in disbelief. “You really don’t know? He Wei is holding a press conference, and He Miao will be there too. It’ll be after class tonight. It’s probably because of the reporters surrounding the campus last night.”

Jing Yan frowned. His intuition told him that this was He Miao’s idea, and he pursed his lips in disagreement.

The last time he was still that stupid dog in the He family, He Wei had personally smashed his head with a cup. He did not have a good impression of this woman. If He Miao asked He Wei for help now, was she not afraid of being schemed against instead?

This woman would rather ask her sister, who had ulterior motives, for help than him. This was preposterous!

At the entrance of the fragrance-making classroom, the dismissal bell had just rung, and the door was already completely surrounded.

It was because the previous campus belle, the current famous female star He Wei, had personally come to visit. At this moment, she was surrounded by a group of staff members and stood in the corridor gracefully.

When He Miao came out, He Wei quickly went up to her and held her hand affectionately. “Sister, you’re finally out of class. I’ve already made arrangements. We’ll hold a press conference in the school’s conference room. This way, you won’t have to travel too far.”

He Miao nodded without any objection. “Let’s do that. As long as they don’t come and disturb my life in the future.”
