The Heir is Here: Quiet Down, School Prince!

An Xiaxia was obviously shocked and stared blankly at him. “What?”

WTF!

Why the sudden confession of love?

“Qi Yanxi, you’ve had too much to drink…” An Xiaxia laughed uneasily. “Here, let me give you a hand and let’s go back in. Where’s Mu Li? Is she with you?”

He kept his intense gaze on her and wouldn’t look away.

“Xiaxia…” Qi Yanxi stubbornly uttered her name over and over again, his voice trembling. “Let’s start over, can we? I promise I won’t act like a jerk again… I’ll be nice to you…”

If he could go back to seven years ago, he would make sure he learned how to be a good man. He would treat An Xiaxia nicely, instead of behaving like how he used to: arrogant, impetuous, and picking on her all the time.

He had pushed An Xiaxia away himself.

An Xiaxia said in resignation, “Don’t say that…” She didn’t know what to do.

Qi Yanxi put his forehead on her shoulder as tears welled up in his eyes. Before long, An Xiaxia felt the wetness on the back of her neck and she froze.

Was Qi Yanxi… crying?

But why? Was it for her? For himself? Or for something else?

Maybe Qi Yanxi didn’t even know himself.

He was just sad about the regrets he would forever have over what had and had not happened.

“Yanxi, it’s time to go home.” Mu Li went up to them with a perfect smile she had managed to put on.

An Xiaxia felt so relieved. “He’s drunk. Please take him back home.”

Mu Li wore her smile like a mask. “Sure.” She reached for Qi Yanxi.

“I’m not drunk!” Qi Yanxi snapped and pointed at Mu Li. “Mind your own f**king business!”

An embarrassed look flashed across Mu Li’s face. Unwilling to lose what was left of her pride in front of An Xiaxia, she tried to cajole him in a gentle voice, “Whatever the problem is, let’s talk about it when we get home, ok?”

Qi Yanxi threw her hands off and walked away without looking back.

He was stumbling so bad but his movement was so decisive that An Xiaxia couldn’t tell whether he was drunk or not.

An Xiaxia wanted to go back in, but Mu Li blocked her way.

She pleaded, “Xiaxia, please give me a break.”

Give her a break? Where did that come from?

An Xiaxia couldn’t understand.

“You have Sheng Yize already and you’re so happy. Why won’t you leave Qi Yanxi alone?” Mu Li said resentfully.

Those words pissed An Xiaxia off right away. “What are you suggesting? What do you mean by I won’t leave Qi Yanxi alone?”

She had long stopped talking to Qi Yanxi, just to avoid such suspicion.

“Then why are you here?” Mu Li pressed on stubbornly.

“To have dinner.” Sheng Yize was the one who had brought her here.

“Of all the places, why did you have to eat here…” Mu Li bit her lip.

An Xiaxia was astonished by her self-centered reasoning. “So, according to you, we can’t eat in the same restaurant, drink the same brand of water, use the same mobile phone service, or even breathe the same air?”

Mu Li knew that she was being unreasonable, but she still thought that An Xiaxia must have done something to make Qi Yanxi unable to get over her!

“Did you… tell him to not forget you… or did you tell him to not be nice to me?” she asked hesitantly.

An Xiaxia was genuinely shocked.

Gosh!

Was she that evil to Mu Li?

“I have nothing to say if that’s what you want to think.” An Xiaxia chuckled self-mockingly, then went back to the hall.

Mu Li hurled herself at An Xiaxia from the back and they fell off the stairs together at the impact!
