Chapter 722: Love Above All Chapter 81

Gu Xiaoxi began diligently studying after her departure, memorizing everything she needed to learn at university in half a year.

In her spare time, she would practice what she learned at the company.

Whenever she was bored, Quan Shaoqing would come to keep her company.

During these six months, although there were no further rumors about Chen Lu and Quan Shaoqing,

Quan Shaoqing began appearing in public more and more frequently.

In that time, he even starred as the male lead in a heroic sci-fi blockbuster, which made him extremely famous.

So much so that knowing Bai Yaxuan in countries around the world meant you definitely knew of Quan Shaoqing.

And those who knew Quan Shaoqing didn’t necessarily know Bai Yaxuan.

This just goes to show how terrifyingly influential Quan Shaoqing had become in such a short time.

As usual, Gu Xiaoxi was waiting for him at the agreed-upon café.

She had just arrived at the café, casually ordered a cup of coffee, when she saw him, dressed in a black shirt, stride towards her and sit down.

"You’re really punctual!" Gu Xiaoxi propped her cheek with one hand, her gaze involuntarily softening as it fell upon his stern features.

She discovered that he seemed even more handsome than before.

She remembered the first time she saw him—so cold, so heartless, like a sharp dagger ready to be unsheathed and kill at a moment’s notice.

But now, he’s as lively as a completely new entity, utterly renewed.

Dashing, self-confident, and occasionally smiling—a smile like that of a big boy.

"Time is limited, I hope to see more of you!" Quan Shaoqing responded offhandedly, each word coming straight from the heart.

So, he would arrive at the agreed time without fail, no matter how busy he was.

"Xiao Xi, I’m traveling abroad tomorrow, will you join me?" Quan Shaoqing asked, his eyes brimming with anticipation.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded with a smile, "Sure, I’m free anyway."

Seeing her agreement, a rare shallow smile appeared on his cool lips.

Already strikingly attractive, this smile made the surrounding sunlight seem dull in comparison.

Gu Xiaoxi watched, and suddenly, a strange scene appeared in her mind.

She and he were sitting together, eating, with a child of two or three years old beside them...

"Mommy!"

The child’s tender voice abruptly interrupted her fragmented memories.

Gu Xiaoxi started—was she daydreaming again?

"What’s wrong?" Quan Shaoqing asked, seeing her lost in thought, and a bad premonition suddenly filled his heart.

He thought she might be having second thoughts about going abroad with him.

"It’s nothing, just a lot of memories popped into my head. I wonder if they are from a past life!" Gu Xiaoxi joked.

"And here I thought you were going to back out," Quan Shaoqing sighed in relief.

"How could I? I swear, I promise I won’t back out!"

Quan Shaoqing looked at her solemn promise and gently ruffled her hair, "Then I’m reassured."

"Is there a reason for going abroad?" Gu Xiaoxi asked casually as she sipped her coffee.

"Nothing much, just to discuss some things and take you out for some fun on the side."

Gu Xiaoxi tilted her head; it was the first time Quan Shaoqing had invited her out for fun, and she was somewhat looking forward to it.

After the meeting with Quan Shaoqing ended, Gu Xiaoxi, as always, drove herself back to school.

As her car approached the school gate, she noticed a large crowd gathered there.

Inside the crowd’s ring, four armored cars were tightly guarding an extended luxury supercar.

Outside the crowd, a line of security guards stood at the ready.

An unsettling feeling instinctively rose within Gu Xiaoxi’s heart.

Just as she was about to turn around and drive away, the line of people behind her automatically parted to create a pathway.
