Chapter 1012: Qin Shuling Strikes Xu Niannian


    Editor:Henyee Trantions


    Xu Niannian could tell that Qin Shuling had a clear interest in Gu Pei.


    In the past, many girls in the ss had shown simr interest in him, but he had only ever had eyes for her.


    Gu Yang and Gu Pei were momentarily taken aback by Xu Niannian’s words.


    Qin Xian was also surprised.


    Qin Shuling narrowed her eyes, regarding Xu Niannian coldly.


    Gu Pei, visibly agitated, said, “Xu Niannian, we broke up a long time ago. Don’t spread nonsense and damage my reputation!”


    Xu Niannian’s face showed hurt. “Gu Pei, are you really so heartless? You left without a word, and now you’re denying our past?”


    Gu Pei’s anger red. “What past? We ended things ages ago. I told you not to bother me!”


    Qin Shuling’s expression cleared. “Brother Gu Pei, so this is your ex-girlfriend?”


    Gu Pei nodded in confirmation.


    The term “ex-girlfriend” clearly stung Xu Niannian.


    She didn’t care for Qin Shuling at all. “I’m his first love. Who are you?”


    “First love?”


    Qin Shuling’s gaze grew even colder as she contemted the term. His first love was truly an eyesore.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Qin Shuling turned to Gu Pei. “I’m Lingling, Brother Gu Pei’s friend. My brother and Brother Gu Pei are good friends, aren’t you, Brother Gu Pei?”


    Gu Pei responded, “Uh, yes.”


    Though it seemed fine on the surface, it felt slightly off.


    Qin Shuling’s smile widened with Gu Pei’s confirmation.


    “Since you’re Brother Gu Pei’s ex-girlfriend, why are you still bothering him? Can’t you see that Brother Gu Pei is clearly annoyed with you?” Qin Shuling asked innocently.


    Each word seemed to pierce Xu Niannian like an arrow.


    Xu Niannian looked at Gu Pei with sadness. “Gu Pei, is it because of her that you refuse to reconcile with me? What makes her better than me?”


    Qin Shuling’s gaze darkened as she looked at the finger pointed in her direction.


    She had an impulse to break it.


    Qin Shuling then turned to Gu Yang, holding her arm with a friendly gesture. “Sister Gu Yang, which family is she from? I don’t think I’ve seen her before.”


    Xu Niannian’s expression soured. It was clear she wasn’t from any prominent family.


    Gu Yang replied honestly, “She’s not from our circle.”


    Qin Shuling seemed to understand and asked, “Xu Niannian, which department are you in at Hua University?”


    Xu Niannian’s face darkened further. She hadn’t gotten into Hua University and was attending Capital Drama University next door.


    Qin Xian pointed out, “Sister, she’s not from Hua University. Her military training uniform is different from ours.”


    Qin Shuling then noticed the school badge on Xu Niannian’s uniform and seemed a bit surprised. “Oh, it’s actually from Capital Drama University.”


    Although Qin Shuling didn’t say it outright, Xu Niannian could sense the disdain and mockery in her tone.


    “Gu Pei, look at her!” Xu Niannian said, her voice tinged with grievance.


    Gu Pei, clearly frustrated, responded, “Isn’t what Lingling said the truth? Don’t you realize I don’t want to get back together with you? Don’t drag others into this or nder Lingling. You’re not worthy ofpeting with her.”


    Qin Shuling’s lips curled into a slight smile. She was clearly in a good mood.


    “Brother Gu Pei, don’t be so harsh. Student Xu Niannian has her own merits. I’m not as confident or daring as she is,” Qin Shuling said with a smile.


    Gu Yang clicked her tongue. Well yed!


    Wasn’t this a subtle jab at Xu Niannian for being thick-skinned?


    “Gu Pei! I may not match your family’s status, wealth, or achievements, but you can’tpletely deny me!” Xu Niannian gritted her teeth and said, “Have you forgotten why you liked me in the first ce? Does she have anything inmon with you? Can she even y games with you?”
