Chapter 12: Little Wildcat

The string in Zeng Qing’s heart snapped.

Zeng Qing held the phone for a long time without saying anything, which made Zhang Li feel a little baffled.

“Lili, are you unwilling to save me?” Zeng Qing’s face flushed.

Zhang Li smiled coldly and said, “Being with you is a stain. I won’t save you. Stop calling me!”

“Beep, beep…”

She had hung up. Zeng Qing’s eyes were red as he squatted on the floor with his head in his hands. His life was ruined now.

Everything was destroyed!

The school had also sent notification that students like Zeng Qing, who had relied on plagiarism to gain admission, were not fit to be students. He was expelled.

Sometimes, losing everything came so quickly.

The sky gradually darkened, and the last hint of sunset disappeared into the horizon. The evening was melding into night.

It was almost time to get off work. The people from Jinyu Company packed their things and prepared to get off work.

“Sisi, aren’t you going home?” Li Man walked past Qiao Sisi’s desk and saw that she was still busy with the design drafts.

When she heard her voice, Qiao Sisi quickly looked up and smiled as she said, “I know. Thank you, Sister Li. I’ll get going now.”

With that, she placed the design drafts neatly in a file before picking up her bag to get off work.

She had gained a lot that day.

As she walked out of the company, Qiao Sisi was in a good mood. She had benefited greatly from those design drafts and had forgotten about the disgusting Zeng Qing in the morning.

“Buzz…”

The phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. Qiao Sisi made a guess. She picked it up and saw that it was indeed a call from Anna.

“Hey, what’s up, Anna? I just got off work,” Qiao Sisi said as she picked up her call.

On the other end of the phone, Chen Anna said in surprise, “Sisi, from your tone, do you still not know about that matter?”

“Know what? Tell me.”

Qiao Sisi held the phone, a puzzled expression on her face. Could something have happened that she did not know about?

Chen Anna laughed loudly. “Sisi, don’t you know, I just heard that Zeng Qing was expelled from school for plagiarism. It was amazing.”

“So soon?” Qiao Sisi’s eyes widened.

This incident had just happened today. She did not expect the school to know about it in just a few hours.

It seemed like Zheng Zeyi had done something.

“I don’t think it’s fast. He should have been arrested a long time ago. I knew Zeng Qing wasn’t a good person. He cheated on Zhang Li behind your back and even plagiarized a thesis. Now he has been sentenced. He should just stay in jail,” Chen Anna said in relief.

Yang Yueyue’s scheme to use Zeng Qing to slander Qiao Sisi had failed. Now he was gone.

Qiao Sisi could not help laughing. After seeing Zeng Qing clearly, her feelings for this man had long disappeared.

Sentencing him to jail was probably the best news that day other than joining Jinyu Corporation.

“Oh right, Sisi, did Zeng Qing cause trouble at your company today?” Chen Anna suddenly remembered something and asked quickly.

QIao Sisi remembered what happened in the morning and replied, “Yes, how did you know?”

On the other end of the line, Chen Anna rubbed her chin in deep thought.

After a moment, she analyzed, “What I heard just now was that someone must be pulling strings for Zeng Qing to be exposed for plagiarism. Sisi, tell me the truth. Is it that scheming Zheng Zeyi?

Qiao Sisi got on the bus and found a seat before answering.

“My guess is… it should be so. When Zeng Qing came to cause trouble, he was the one who revealed the matter of plagiarism. He should be the one who did the rest. It’s probably close to the mark.”

After all, only Zheng Zeyi would help them now.

Qiao Sisi thought of the agreement between the two of them to pretend to be engaged and many thoughts immediately formed in her mind.

After a while, she quickly shook his head and suppressed the myriad of thoughts in her heart.

What am I thinking! Zheng Zeyi is ruthless. Acting is acting. Stop thinking!

Chen Anna did not know what was on Qiao Sisi’s mind. She just smiled mischievously. “It seems like Zheng Zeyi is quite good to you.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I’m home. I’ll talk to you later.” Qiao Sisi was speechless.

The bus had arrived at the bus stop. She quickly hung up and put the phone into her pocket.

Zheng Zeyi did not live in a villa. Instead he lived in an upscale apartment in the city center that was very safe and exquisitely designed.

Four bedrooms and a living room. Qiao Sisi had decided that it would probably take a long time for her to buy a similar apartment.

In her pocket was the apartment key that Zheng Zeyi had given her. The elevator quickly reached the 10th floor.

At the door, Qiao Sisi took out her key. When she opened the door, she saw that the lights in the apartment were on.

Zheng Zeyi, dressed in a bathrobe, was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When he heard the door open, he turned around and smiled.

“You’re back.”

Qiao Sisi forced a smile as if to answer, but her heart could not help beating faster. After closing the door, she walked straight to her room.

“Wait.”

Zheng Zeyi’s voice came from behind. Qiao Sisi stopped in her tracks and turned around. “What’s wrong?”

As soon as she turned around, she came face-to-face with Zheng Zeyi on the sofa.

It seemed that he had just taken a shower, and small drops of water were still dripping from his hair. The water droplets slid down his exquisite collarbones and down to his chest, disappearing into a certain area blocked by his bathrobe.

It was too seductive!

Qiao Sisi’s breathing became erratic. Her pupils constricted and she quickly looked away, her ears turning red.

Zheng Zeyi looked at her with a smile in his eyes and pointed to the kitchen. “As my fiancée, shouldn’t you fulfill the responsibility of cooking?”

At this moment, Qiao Sisi only wanted to escape to her room. She nodded and agreed. “Alright, I’ll do it later.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran back to her room, as if there was a prehistoric beast behind her.

“Little wildcat…”

Zheng Zeyi’s smile deepened as he watched her run away.

After running back to her room, Qiao Sisi hurriedly closed the door and panted with her back against it.

Fortunately, she had escaped from him.

Qiao Sisi’s cheeks were still hot. She covered them with her hands and went to the toilet to wash her face with cold water.

Her racing heart had calmed down at this moment.

Useless.

Qiao Sisi looked at herself in the mirror in exasperation. Even if she did not deny that Zheng Zeyi was a handsome man, she should not be so embarrassed.

She wondered why that person was laughing behind her back!

Qiao Sisi shook her head and threw her bag on the bed.

After confirming that she came back to her senses, Qiao Sisi opened the door and left the room.

Zheng Zeyi was still sitting on the sofa, leaning against the soft pillow, but there was a white towel on his head.
