Chapter 990 I Am Already Engaged
Xu Shengnan was so lucky to have met Qiao Nan this year and accepted the latter to become a member of the new English club.
At the thought of this, Zou Wenxuan smoked deeply again. She had simply finished smoking the first cigarette of her lifetime.
When the cigarette butt was burning, Zou Wenxuan’s hand was scorched for a moment.
Zou Wenxuan snuffed out the fire. It was impossible for more hiccups to occur for the new English club.
In that case, the events of the old English club would certainly not fare better than that of the new English club. Fortunately, the gap in performance was not that huge.
After throwing the stuffed out cigarette into the trash can, Zou Wenxuan was very upset, thinking, ‘From now onward, the new English club is really going to turn the tides and become on par with the old English club.’
“Damn, to hell with it.”
Although she was rational, Zou Wenxuan could not come to terms with it. She lost her temper and even kicked and overturned the trash can.
When Zou Wenxuan finished venting her frustration silently, she tidied up her clothes, combed her slightly tousled hair, and rinsed her mouth with water. After confirming that the cigarette smell in her mouth was not as obvious, Zou Wenxuan then gracefully appeared before others and continued to focus on the remaining programs of her club.
So what if she had lost?
Xu Shengnan had lost to her twice but she had only lost to Xu Shengnan once. Moreover, her loss this time did not have much to do with Xu Shengnan. It was because of Qiao Nan.
She was still young and had only lost once. Xu Shengnan was also able to endure two losses. She was able to overcome just one loss.
“It has been tough on everyone today. You have worked hard.” When the events of the new English club ended well, Xu Shengnan was overjoyed. “Everyone has worked hard together for so long. Why don’t I be the host and treat everyone to supper today?”
“Thank you, Vice President Xu.”
“Vice President Xu is so generous!”
Xu Shengnan was not the only one who was happy. Some of the new English club members who had never given up and the long-time club members who had persisted until today felt even happier.
Even if Xu Shengnan did not treat them to supper, they also wished to go for a feast today to reward themselves and celebrate.
They did not need to pay out of their own pocket now as someone else was going to treat them. Of course, everyone was elated.
“Hahaha, it’s seldom that everyone feels so happy. It’s a must.” Xu Shengnan looked bright and cheery. She had to treat so many people to supper. It was destined that Xu Shengnan had to spend a bomb today. Nevertheless, her happiness was not something that money could buy.
Qiao Nan yawned as she patted on her swollen and tired shoulders. “Vice President Xu, it’s late. Also, I don’t live in school, so I have to go home now. All of you should enjoy the supper. I’m not going.”
It was already so late. Qiao Nan had no wish for supper. She was afraid that she would be too full and have a sleepless night.
Most importantly, she had been forced up the stage to perform today. Until now, Qiao Nan still felt a little unsettled at heart. She only wanted to go home, bathe, and sleep comfortably to replenish her energy so that she could continue with her studies tomorrow.
In short, she was not interested in having supper. What she needed most was the ‘nerve-calming tea’.
“Please don’t. I will find someone to send you home after supper. See, we have so many people in the club. Which one of you is going to send Qiao Nan back to her house later?” Xu Shengnan was pleased. She raised her eyebrow as she hinted with a look toward the male club members.
One did not allow benefits created by one’s own work to accrue to others.
Qiao Nan was a good lady. She was smart and pretty. Both her character and temper were not bad.
It was hard to find such a good lady. If the male members in her club were interested, they had to express themselves sooner lest ‘outsiders’ become a step ahead of them.
Having been hinted at by Xu Shengnan, the male seniors of Qiao Nan in the club were quite tempted.
Although the school term had just commenced for a month, most had already done a round of assessment on the looks of each college freshman.
Qiao Nan was good-looking. She was the fresh-faced and sweet-looking type. She was not high-profile but no one could ignore her as well.
The beauty and charisma that she exuded were not stifling. It was very gentle and it made people feel extremely comfortable.
Very few men would not like or not be tempted by a lady with such a temper and charisma.
Within a short time span of one month, although Qiao Nan had not taken over the role of the school belle, she had already been labeled as the faculty belle.
In such a short time, Qiao Nan had already pushed Zou Wenxuan down and taken over the position of the faculty belle. She was also a capable one.
They already had good feelings toward Qiao Nan. In addition, Qiao Nan was the belle of the foreign language faculty and she gave such an outstanding performance today. Only a fool would not take a liking to Qiao Nan.
One could say that Qiao Nan was a little dim-witted. Nevertheless, sometimes, Qiao Nan was quite agile in such matters.
Just as Xu Shengnan had just spoken, a few seniors in the club, especially the male ones, had already turned red in the face. As for the female seniors, they looked slightly unhappy. At the sight of this, Qiao Nan blinked. She stretched out her hands, pulling out the engagement ring that she had been wearing as a necklace. “Vice President Xu, look at this ring. Is it beautiful?”
“…” Xu Shengnan raised her eyebrows, looking a little puzzled. “Since this is a ring, why don’t you wear it on your finger? You’re wearing it as a pendant of a necklace. It looks good. There are also engravings on it?”
“Of course, this is a gift from my fiancé.” Qiao Nan immediately expressed that she already belonged to someone else. College romance did not have anything to do with her. She was not prepared to be involved.
Xu Shengnan was taken back. “F-fiancé? Do girls from where you came from usually address their boyfriend as ‘fiancé’?”
“He’s not my boyfriend. He’s my fiancé. We are already engaged. This is the engagement ring that he gave me.” Qiao Nan clarified.
Xu Shengnan flung her head. “It’s not strange for your beau to give you this. However, Qiao Nan, you have to know. Engagement is not something that is finalized when both of you have spoken about and agreed on this.”
Damn, Qiao Nan had a man!!
At the thought that she did not even have a boyfriend and had never held anyone’s hands or kissed anyone before despite being in her third year in college, Xu Shengnan felt that she had been shortchanged. She seemed to be outdated.
It was good that Xu Shengnan was willing to ask. Qiao Nan was only afraid that Xu Shengnan was not willing to clarify. “Of course, the engagement between my fiancé and me has been agreed upon by our respective families.”
Qiao Nan was embarrassed to say that the ‘old man’ in the photo of the kept woman scandal was not the man that kept her as a woman but her future father-in-law.
The reason she boarded her future father-in-law’s car was that she was going to take care of her future mother-in-law, who was having a cold and fever at that time.
Xu Shengnan was instantly dumbfounded. “What kind of practice is this in your hometown? How could youngsters settle their lifetime happiness at such a young age? What if you meet someone that you like more in the future? What will happen then?”
According to Qiao Nan’s words, she was already engaged before she entered college, no?
It was obviously puppy love!
After confirming that the looks on the senior’s eyes were not as enthusiastic anymore, Qiao Nan then tucked the ring back into her clothes. “There is no ‘what if’. The one in my family is very outstanding and wonderful. It is impossible to find anyone who is more outstanding than him in this world. I only love him. The irresponsible ‘what if’—only those unfaithful and frivolous people will find such excuses for themselves.”
