Chapter 566 Denying Herself (1)

"This is ridiculous!" Xi Qian frowned as she looked at her reflection in the mirror.

Shen Jiao and Su Xiaofei came barging into her apartment, pulling her out of bed late in the afternoon, telling her that they were going bar hopping that night to celebrate her getting into med school.

Xi Qian was planning to spend the rest of her day resting to catch up with the sleep she had been deprived of for several months. Now that her hard work had finally paid off and she could finally have some peace, but she couldn't blame her friends for wanting to celebrate her achievement.

"Come on, Xi Qian. Xiao Rufeng will come with us to introduce her new boyfriend. You can bring yours too, if you want." Shen Jiao laughed, and shoved a towel in Xi Qian's arm before deciding to raid the latter's closet for a decent dress.

"What boyfriend?" Xi Qian frowned, before shooting her best friend an accusatory look.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

"Don't look at Feifei like that, Qian. I spotted you on a date the other day at a mall." Shen Jiao answered.

"I..." Xi Qian found it hard to defend herself. It was impossible for her to deny that she was with Li Xiran the other day.

It was the day of her exam and he volunteered to treat her to a meal after hours of struggling and racking her brain to answer the questions. Li Xiran had insisted on accompanying her and had been patient with her. Could she really call him her boyfriend?

She didn't have a family to celebrate or to share her achievements with, so having her friends come and prepare something for her today was a pleasant surprise for her.

The night felt blurry for Xi Qian, but she truly enjoyed the night with her friends, regardless of her prior comments. Li Xiran's friends were polite and decent, with Song Yiran making the conversations among the group entertaining.

"Where's Ning Xuan anyway? Shouldn't he be here by now?" He asked as he picked up his drink and eyed the rest of his brothers. He thought that for the first time in months, the six of them would be complete tonight.

Zhu Baichuan agreed with him. They all flew to Qiying City, courtesy of Li Xiran and Su Xiaofei's invitation, to have a decent gathering of their brotherhood. Lu Qingfeng had missed a lot of their meetings previously and they needed him to be present.

"His meeting must have kept him." His eyes then landed on Xi Qian. "So where did you and Li Xiran meet? I finally understand why he isn't willing to move to Shenjing despite the need to stay longer there."

"We met under unfavorable circumstances, I'm afraid." Xi Qian replied. "But everything is fine now. I used to be his father's personal nurse."

She left out the fact that she lived under the same roof with him and the rest of his family for a few months before they became an item.

At her suggestive glance, Li Xiran took the liberty to fill up the details, but omitting some personal details between them. She trusted that Li Xiran hadn't shared any intimate details with them.

"I suppose it's fate that brought you together then, Li Xiran seems happy enough."

Xi Qian took a sip from her drink, but didn't respond. She was beginning to understand that she was treating Li Xiran unfairly. She realized now how she was making things complicated between them, when it's clear to her what Li Xiran felt towards her.

"Don't worry. Whenever Li Xiran was in Shenjing, he didn't see another woman." Song Yiran winked at her suggestively, and she had this urge to give her schoolmate a good smack on his head. It was obvious that this man hadn't changed, not one bit.
