Chapter 3
The next day, An Chuxia sits calmly at the table, leisurely eating breakfast .
“Did you sleep well last night, An Chuxia?” Master Han asks . He knows the rooms are well insulated, and what transpired between them last night remains their secret .
She nods slightly . Her eyes try to hide her reaction to last night’s events . She’s confused as to whether her heart is pounding because she’s recalling her first kiss bitterly stolen by Han Qilu, or the fact he looks good wearing a white Stein Royal College uniform .
She has to admit that when he is quiet, he is quite the prince .
As he bows his head, she breaks her gaze . They earnestly eat their breakfast . For the first time, she wears the white Stein Royal College uniform . The style is okay, but the skirt … mother of God, the skirt is short and pitiful . The moment she bends, her bottom is exposed . Stunned, she spent ten minutes adapting to her uniform .
It is a small sacrifice . After all, Stein College has first-class teachers . For her, attending this school is considered ancestral merit .
“Oh, how can she wear our school uniform?” Han Qilu asks unhappily . He thought that Monday, he would finally rid of her . Unfortunately, luck is not on his side .
Blankly, An Chuxia faces Qilu and says, “My brother, don’t worry . I won’t be one of your school girls, so please, don’t worry about me . ”
She slaps on a friendly smile . That should put him in his place!
“There’s one small problem, An Chuxia… I told your Uncle Han last night about your situation and he decided on one thing,” Jiang Yuan says hesitantly . “Han Qilu, you, too, have to listen well!”
Han Qilu obediently sits down at the table, and dares not to intervene . If there is one thing he is most afraid of, it’s the presence of his father, Han Liuhai .
Han Liuhai takes the napkin handed to him by the maid . He wipes his mouth and says with absolute certainty, “ Your aunt and I decided to enroll you at the school as Han Qilu’s fiancée . ”
“What?!” Both An Chuxia and Han Qilu exclaim . Though both are shocked, Han Qilu’s voice is also mixed with a trace of anger .
He knew this woman is absolute trouble!
“Chuxia, don’t be in a hurry . This is for your best interest . You see, ah, if Han Qilu suddenly has a sister, rumors will spread and your identity won’t be kept private . We want everyone to know that you are a proper woman, and as Qilu’s fiancée, you can attend school peacefully . ”
Jiang Yuan’s aggravation is evident, leaving An Chuxia unable to do anything but accept the farce .
An Chuxia tries to understand Aunt Yuan’s situation and the promise she made on the day her mother died . Chuxia didn’t want to cry in front of her, but she felt utterly abandoned . However, Jiang Yuan took her in and protected her like she was her own child .
She recalls the day she arrived at the Han property . Their flowerbed is probably bigger than her room but all she could feel at that time was… broken . She did not feel the kindness . But in the end… .
“Auntie, is there no other way?” she asks Jiang Yuan seriously before putting down the chopsticks . Chuxia asks herself, is there is no other way to be enrolled?
But she doesn’t want to lose the opportunity to attend Stein College .
“Do not insist, An Chuxia . Don’t think I don’t know what you are thinking!” He can’t stand An Chuxia’s seemingly innocent expression . Han Qilu stands up and says, “I cannot pretend to be your fiancé! “
