  Bai Jing’s first thought was to decline, but Su Yan didn’t allow her to.

  Su Yan glanced at Su Yue and asked, “Do you have anything else to take? If nothing more, let’s get going. I have work to do tonight.”


  Bai Jing pressed her lips and swallowed her words. She bowed her head, feeling defeated.

  Su Yan drove while Su Yue and Bai Jing sat at the back.

  Su Yue wanted to talk to Bai Jing, but Bai Jing kept her back against her. She gazed out of the window, looking preoccupied.

  Su Yue was at a loss of words at the thought of how irritated Bai Jing was earlier on.

  After a traffic junction, Bai Jing snapped out of her daze and she peered ahead of her. She pointed at a bus stop a distance away and said, “Can you let me alight at the bus stop? I think this is a new car and I’m feeling nauseous. I’ll just take a bus home myself.”


  Su Yue looked at her with anxiousness imbued in her eyes. “Do you want to drink some water?”


  Bai Jing shook her head. “It’s alright. I just need to take a walk.”


  She looked pale and had a constant frown on her face. She looked rather sick, so Su Yue didn’t insist. “Alright then.”


  The car stopped by the roadside and Bai Jing got off. She waved goodbye at Su Yan. “Su Yue, Brother Su Yan, goodbye.”


  Su Yan nodded slightly.

  Bai Jing closed the door.

  Su Yan ignited the car once they left Bai Jing behind. Su Yue leaned against the window as she looked at Bai Jing. “Bai Jing looks troubled and worried.”


  Su Yan’s voice sounded. “Even you will have troubles.”


  Su Yue retracted her gaze and bent her head. She muttered, “Why would I be troubled?”


  Xuxu had given her some medicated cream for her burns and it was effective. But her blisters would need more time to heal.

  Su Yue quietly gazed at her hands.

  She recalled what Ming Zhongsheng said to her once more.

  “I heard that you’re dating someone?” Su Yan spun his head and grinned at Su Yue.

  A pang of guilt struck Su Yue, and she warily eyed Su Yan. “What did Third sister-in-law tell you?”


  She stared at him with apprehension.

  Su Yan chuckled quietly.

  His good-looking hands clenched the steering wheel, and the lights from the passing lamp-posts shone on his gorgeous face.

  Su Yue felt that her brother was perfect and exceedingly handsome.

  She then thought of Bai Jing all of a sudden, and how she stole frequent glances across the table.

  She began to get curious and she leaned forward. She craned her neck to inch nearer to Su Yan. “Brother, are you dating Xin Yanting?”


  Even though she didn’t really like that arrogant woman, she would still agree to them dating if her brother really liked her.

  But if her brother wasn’t interested in her, then she would help Bai Jing.

  Su Yan frowned and eyed Su Yue. “Little lass, why are you asking about this?”


  He was obviously avoiding this question.

  Su Yue probed. “Do you like her?”


  “This is not something you have to be concerned about.” Su Yan glanced at Su Yue with raised eyebrows. He steered the topic and asked, “I heard you failed all your papers?”


  Su Yue clammed up……

  Did she flunk all her papers?

  But that was nothing surprising considering the fact that she submitted her paper in half an hour. She had chosen option B for most of the questions, so there was no way she would pass.
