NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 44:
Chapter 44: What is Their Relationship?:
Ji Yan’s neighborhood wasn’t too far from the university, but walking there still took over half an hour.
Usually, Ji Yan would take a taxi back to school after spending the weekends at home. But today, she walked the whole way, looking somewhat worried.
The reason was simple: the little girl sculpture in her bag.
Ji Yan liked the sculpture very much, but if it upset her mother, she would immediately discard it. Her mother had raised her with great care, always fearing she might suffer even a little harm or grievance. Ji Yan couldn’t upset her mother over such a small matter.
Initially, she thought about just throwing the sculpture away. Although it carried some memories of her date with Qin Luo, it was just an ordinary sculpture with no real value. But for some reason, when she threw it into the trash, she felt a sudden, inexplicable pain in her heart.
It felt like discarding it was akin to discarding a piece of her own heart.
Ji Yan couldn’t stand this suffocating feeling, so after much thought, she took the sculpture out of the trash. The suffocating feeling disappeared, but a new problem arose.
What should she do with the sculpture? Should she throw it away or secretly keep it?
Ji Yan pondered this issue the whole way.
Each time she saw a trash bin, she hesitated, struggling between throwing it away and keeping it.
Ultimately, she couldn’t bear to take the sculpture out of her bag. By the time she snapped out of her thoughts, she had already arrived at the school gate.
It was Monday, and the school gate was bustling with people coming and going.
Ji Yan’s striking beauty had always made her popular.
After her bold actions on the basketball court a few days ago, her notoriety had surged even more. As soon as people saw her, they recognized the famous campus belle.
But unfortunately, the once unattainable flower had transformed into a sweet girl who dared to kiss someone in public. This made many male students sigh in disappointment.
“Why can we only sit alone at home, while Qin Luo gets to be with the school belle?” they lamented. “It’s so unfair!”
Ji Yan was used to being watched, but today was different.
As she was about to enter the school gate, she noticed everyone’s gaze shifting in unison to another direction.
At the same time, a loud roaring sound caught her attention. She turned to see a red sports car approaching from a distance.
It was a Ferrari, one of the most famous brands of sports cars. A red Ferrari was a classic, always drawing admiring or envious looks wherever it appeared. This Ferrari was a convertible, making it even more eye-catching in the early summer weather.
Most of the people at the school gate were young, and no one could resist admiring such a fancy toy. Men admired it, and women couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.
“Wow, a sports car! It’s so cool.”
“No way, this car must be worth at least a hundred thousand!”
“Get real! This is a Ferrari 488 Spider. It’s worth at least four million!”
“Hey, it’s stopping at our school gate. Could it belong to someone from our school?”
“No way, no one here has a car that nice. The best I’ve seen is Wang Chuan’s Porsche 911. If someone had a Ferrari, we’d know.”
“The driver seems to be a woman, but I can’t see her face. She looks like a beauty, though. And the guy in the passenger seat… he looks familiar.”
Under the astonished gaze of her classmates, Ji Yan saw that the driver was a woman whose face was obscured by a large sunhat and black sunglasses.
In the passenger seat was a man with striking features. His handsome face left a deep impression, and suddenly, someone recognized him.
“Holy crap, isn’t that Qin Luo? I just saw his video on the forum the other day!”
“No way! It really is him! How did he end up in a Ferrari? Is he secretly rich? Is the car his?”
“Get real. If it was his car, he’d be driving it. This is definitely a dirty deal.”
“With his looks, it’s not impossible.”
“Mom, I don’t want to work hard anymore!”
Many classmates exclaimed, recognizing Qin Luo. They were shocked, as anyone would be seeing a familiar classmate in the passenger seat of a Ferrari.
But no one was more surprised than Ji Yan.
She couldn’t understand why Qin Luo was in the passenger seat of such a fancy car.
And more importantly, who was the woman driving?
Even though she couldn’t see the woman’s face, Ji Yan’s intuition told her she must be beautiful.
What was going on?
Why was Qin Luo with this woman?
What was their relationship?
These questions swirled in Ji Yan’s mind, leaving her bewildered.
At that moment, she overheard some classmates’ discussions mentioning words like “beauty,” “figure,” “sugar mommy,” and “kept.”
The last two words deeply stung Ji Yan’s heart, making her already pale face even paler.
She felt betrayed, thinking how silly she was to be so concerned about the sculpture while Qin Luo was with another woman.
Gritting her teeth, she walked over to a nearby trash bin without taking out the sculpture and dropped it inside.
