Chapter 17
Qing Qing was very angry. Ever since Hu Li's engagement banquet, Song Qi had been somewhat distant with her.
Yet Song Qi thought he was hiding it well.
Qing Qing rolled her eyes. It must have been because of what he said to Liu Baozhu that night.
She knew Song Qi had initially wanted to pursue Liu Baozhu. That was why Qing Qing had taken the initiative, since she rarely scored higher than Liu Baozhu academically but had never lost to her in attracting men.
The results proved she was right. So look, whose boyfriend was Song Qi now?
Song Qi wasn't exactly a playboy, but he wasn't devoted to one woman either. He didn't have an undying passion for Liu Baozhu; it was more like a conqueror's urge to succeed where everyone else failed.
Of course, his acceptance of Qing Qing wasn't the result of irresistible love either.
Men from wealthy families were essentially spoiled children, till the day they died.
Qing Qing took out her phone and called Song Qi.
"Dear, are you free tonight?" Qing Qing didn't need to deliberately soften her voice.
"That sneaky girl," Hu Li grumbled. "Keeping things so hush-hush."
"Well, I guess we'll all have to wait for the wedding invitation to find out," Qing Qing laughed.
Hu Li rolled her eyes at her. "She just doesn't like sharing private stuff about herself."
"Maybe she doesn't even know she's being set up," Song Qi suggested.
Bingo. Gotcha.
"Oh, like that time you were set up with her without her knowing?" Qing Qing asked Song Qi.
Hu Li was eagerly waiting for his reply, neglecting her food in anticipation of some juicy drama!
Clearly not thrilled to be put on the spot about this, but unable to avoid responding after bringing it up himself just now, Song Qi admitted, "Yeah, later I asked Director Liu and found out she'd told Baozhu it was to accompany her to a basketball game, just to make sure Baozhu would show up."
So you were sore about it, so close yet so far, and got restless again...
Men are worse than dogs indeed.
