Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

“Yanyan, don’t you think that I look exceptionally handsome today?” Gu Yanxi asked as he ran his finger through his fine hair while brightly smiling at her. Since he knew that he was going on a date with her on the weekend, last night he did his special ten-step skincare routine that was reserved only for the time when he would be meeting her.

Sometimes, he felt as if he shone brighter than stainless steel after his ten-step skincare routine. No wonder, he had been blinding everyone with his exceptionally handsome face.

“Ah, you do?” An Qinyan asked, eyes still on the laptop. She had been working on her new project when this man suddenly decided to grace her with his blinding presence. She wasn’t happy at all with him being here. All she wanted was a peaceful day and home but he felt that it was a perfect day to remind her that she couldn’t spend a single day without his ridiculously cocky presence.

A date with An Qinyan?

Yes, Gu Yanxi was on one.

In his delusional head.

If she were to know about the ridiculous thoughts going on in her head, it wouldn’t be too late since she would throw him to the South Pole where her company was developing a resort._.

When Gu Yanxi couldn’t take her ignoring him once again, he mused, “Why are you working today? This weekend and you are not supposed to work.”

An Qinyan raised her eyes to look up at him as she placed her glasses on her head and said with a smile, “Why did you come to my house with work files when you know it’s a bloody weekend?”

Gu Yanxi shrugged as he said, “I also came with my dear nephew, didn’t you see ?”

“And where is he?”An Qinyan couldn’t help but ask. Although she disliked this man sometimes, she adored his exceptionally good nephew. Gu Shangyan was quiet, reserved, intelligent and always liked to mind his own business, unlike his uncle.

Gu Yanxi replied with an innocent smile, “He is playing with our feline daughters upstairs.”

“Gu Yanxi! Look down, it fell again!” An Qinyan kindly replied.

“What?” Gu Yanxi looked here and there but found nothing.

An Qinyan glared at him, “Your shame and face and sense of humour and what not!”

Gu Yanxi pouted, “I was just being serious.”

When he saw how tenderly she was petting those kittens like a mother caring for her children, he fell in love with her all over again. At that moment, an amazing thought came to her mind– if she was the kitten’s mother, wasn’t he a father?

Aye, the thought was enough to make him feel giddy.

“Of course, you were, “An Qinyan said sarcastically. Taking a pause, she asked with a raised brow, “Why are you here?”

He opened his mouth to speak the generic reply but she cut him off before he could speak the entire sentence, “I came for the file–”

“You know what?” An Qinyan held up her hand and went on, “Since you know you can’t give excuses without getting caught. How about you just start speaking the truth?”

Gu Yanxi smiled at her suppressed frustration and anger and said in a soft voice, “I will start speaking the truth when you will stop pretending that you don’t know the truth behind my excuses.”

“Now this is a very heavy conversation that I would like to avoid for the time being,” An Qinyan replied with a sigh.

“You are just being mean to me, “Gu Yanxi complained.

“You have an option of not letting me be mean to you by focusing on your life,” An Qinyan smiled at him.

“As if I can do that,” Gu Yanxi muttered under his breath and fell silent. He didn’t say anything for a while as he stared at the garden area blankly.

Seeing him quiet and sad, she sighed. This wasn’t what she wanted to do. She didn’t mean to hurt his feelings again. But every time, she would try to protect herself by being her mean and blunt self, she would end up poking his heart.

“I made lunch for Lanlan. Since she is not here to have lunch with me, would you like to join me?” An Qinyan asked with a subtle smile.

Gu Yanxi glanced at her for a moment and then nodded his head.

“Your hands still have the same magic, “Gu Yanxi said with a wide smile as he took a bite. “Did you try making fried chicken again?”

An Qinyan shook her head. “It reminds me of my embarrassing University days.”

Gu Yanxi laughed at her reaction. “What’s so embarrassing about it? The fried chicken shop we work for is long closed. If someone were to know president An almost set the hotel kitchen on fire while frying a chicken, they wouldn’t believe us.”

“That’s because that girlfriend of yours started a fight with me, “An Qinyan muttered as she stabbed a piece of chicken with her chopstick.

“What a tragedy the same girlfriend ended up becoming my sister-in-law,” Gu Yanxi laughed bitterly. “Say, was my elder brother more handsome than me?”

“That goes without saying, “An Qinyan shrugged her shoulders.

“Bravo, Yanyan! Bravo!” Gu Yanxi stabbed at the poor chicken and chewed it hatefully. “I wish I had accepted your feelings back then. If I had, you wouldn’t have married that Lu Bastard and then fallen out of love with me to fall in love with him.”

An Qinyan glared at him hatefully for poking her wounds.

One thing she had learnt in life was to never fall in love with someone who falls out of love with someone else only to fall in love with you. Because if you can easily fall out of love with that someone else, you can fall back too.

Something similar happened with Lu Zhaolin and her.

If she had not used Lu Zhaolin to fall out of love with Gu Yanxi…

If he had not used An Qinyan to fall out of love with Song Yefei
