Chapter 707: Love Above All Chapter 66: Taking Shortcuts

Gu Xiaoxi changed her hair color to black and her curls to straight hair.

One year later...

A year of college life for her was just a blink of an eye.

Spring went and winter came, the summer thunderstorms cleansed everything thoroughly, and autumn silently turned the leaves yellow.

During their school days, with Bai Yu and Dongfang Le, the three of them would skip class to play, flirt with handsome guys in secret, and their laughter filled the campus.

"Xiao Xi, your last birthday was too simple in the dormitory, I booked a private room at the Holy Emperor Nightclub. Let’s go there and have a good time tonight," Bai Yu said, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, looking in the mirror while she did her hair.

In a year, her short hair had grown a lot. Naturally beautiful, she looked graceful and delicate, like a lotus flower emerging from water at first glance.

Bai Yu was with Luo Yiyan now, which surprised her.

If she remembered correctly, Luo Yiyan was the man who’d held a beauty in his arms the first time they met, and nearly got carried away with Ren Yun when drunk, leading a somewhat chaotic private life.

She couldn’t understand Bai Yu’s thinking, but every time Luo Yiyan was mentioned, Bai Yu said they were just having fun, and she had no intention of really marrying him!

Giving up her youth and body for a man’s amusement, Gu Xiaoxi thought Bai Yu had gone mad.

Even more mad was the always innocent and harmless Dongfang Le, who was now pregnant.

The good girl from a noble household with strict family discipline had always been chaste and self-respecting.

Now she was two months pregnant, and had become more silent and less talkative. When they asked her who the father of the child was, Dongfang Le would not say a word, and would cry if pressed.

"Forget it, it doesn’t matter if we celebrate the birthday or not. Lele is in a bad mood, we should take her out to have fun," Gu Xiaoxi said, putting on her coat. In fact, today was her own birthday.

This past year, she had spent most of her time at school, and studying had become a part of her life.

As for the Presidential Mansion, aside from the important events that Bai Yaxuan needed her to attend, she rarely stayed overnight there. Or rather, her phone hadn’t rung with his call for three months, and even the rare times he did contact her were only for official matters.

Everyone was busy with their own things, and no one bothered anyone else, she felt that this kind of life was just right.

"Then I’ll call her!" Bai Yu picked up her phone and dialed Dongfang Le’s number.

Just then, Gu Xiaoxi’s phone dinged with a new message.

She opened it to see it was from Bai Yaxuan.

"Today is your birthday, want to come back to celebrate?"

The short sentence carried his endless expectations. He had said he could wait, if not one year, then two, until she was tired of playing and wanted a haven, hoping that he could provide her with a strong shoulder to lean on.

He maintained a distance from her, not because he no longer liked her, but because he feared that being too close would feel as far away as the ends of the earth!

In the spacious office, the man’s pure white shirt was always spotless, and when silent, it seemed like all of creation fell quiet with him.

He had waited for a long time, as if it was a century, and finally, his phone rang again.

"No thanks, Lele isn’t feeling well. I’m planning to take her out to have fun!"

Gu Xiaoxi replied with a message, then deleted all the communication content and set down her phone.

Bai Yu also hung up the phone with Dongfang Le.

"She says she’ll still go to Holy Emperor to celebrate your birthday, take it as entertainment to cheer up," Bai Yu said, feeling helpless.

Gu Xiaoxi frowned, "Is it really okay for her to go to that kind of place with us, as a pregnant woman?"

"Hey, don’t make a fuss, okay? So far it’s just the three of us who know about her pregnancy," Bai Yu said exasperatedly, sternly instructing: "Lele is the nicest girl, and she must have her reasons for keeping it to herself. We should pretend we don’t know, and then depending on Lele’s decision, we will find a way to help her."

"We can only do that," Gu Xiaoxi sighed and suddenly blurted out in shock, "Could the child be Bai Yaxuan’s?"

As Bai Yu was heading out the door, she nearly stumbled and fell. She turned and glared at Gu Xiaoxi, scolding, "Has your brain gone haywire? Does Bai Yaxuan seem like the kind of man to mess around?"

Gu Xiaoxi blinked her innocent eyes and teased with a smile, "The man who messes around, is that Luo Yiyan?"

"Damn it!" Bai Yu almost spat blood, "Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn’t dare touch Dongfang Le. Dongfang Lin would kill him."

"Yes, Lele’s family dotes on her the most. Dongfang Lin treats her like a lover, cherishing her to the extreme. Who would be so bold as to bully her," Gu Xiaoxi sighed.

Bai Yu was speechless, quickly stepped forward, grabbed Gu Xiaoxi’s shoulder, and pushed her out the door, "Come on, didn’t you say that Mi Xi wanted to buy you a new car? We have to pick out a good birthday present."

At the thought, Gu Xiaoxi was very happy. Mi Xi said he would give her a car, and she happened to fancy a newly released sports car, an international limited edition with only ten units being sold. Because the demand was so high, one had to compete to buy it.

And today at noon, the sale would officially start, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at the time; it was already ten o’clock, time to head out. Otherwise, if she couldn’t get her dream car, the consequences would be dire.

The red mermaid sports car limited edition launch was packed with people.

When Gu Xiaoxi arrived, the place was so crowded she couldn’t even enter.

"It’s over, you have a hundred percent chance of not getting one," Bai Yu looked around and shook her head decisively.

Gu Xiaoxi was anxious, how could there be so many people? Wasn’t it said that the price was too high, and very few could afford it?

The information was wrong!

Just then, her phone rang. It was Mi Xi calling.

"Xiao Xi, have you arrived?"

"I’m here, but there are too many people, I can’t get in," Gu Xiaoxi was distressed.

"Go through the back entrance and report my name, they will let you in. I’m already upstairs!"
