Chapter 28: Just Because I’m Her Husband

In Jiang Yubing’s mind, a huge question mark instantly appeared.

She clearly could not understand Bai Youwei’s series of baffling actions.

However, this happened to be the perfect opportunity, So that Bai Youwei would not recover her wits later and start a string of questions.

“Hmph! It’s good you know you’re wrong.”

Jiang Yubing pretended to snort coldly, Deliberately put on a haughty tone and acted like she was very angry.

“Bingbing, I couldn’t help it, blame him.”

Bai Youwei explained weakly, her voice sounding aggrieved.

Zhao Ran sat to the side, and the corner of his mouth twitched despite himself:

She spoke her explanation, but secretly pinched him at the same time.

While Bai Youwei busied herself with explaining, Chen Qingshu spotted the three of them chatting from afar.

He immediately understood what was going on and realized this beauty was a friend of Zhao Ran’s.

This did not surprise him much, After all, with Zhao Ran’s outstanding looks, it was only natural for him to know such a pretty girl.

Thinking this, a smile quickly spread across Chen Qingshu’s face as he walked over toward them once more.

He walked right up to Jiang Yubing’s side, And as he was about to sit down, a clear, cold voice stopped him.

“This seat is taken.”

Jiang Yubing’s face showed no expression, and her tone was frosty as if keeping others a thousand miles away.

Chen Qingshu’s movement suddenly stalled, and he instinctively looked around.

All the classmates were already here.

Who else would come at this point?

Unless…

It couldn’t be that loser Shen Qingxuan!

Chen Qingshu hurriedly shook his head and threw out that unrealistic idea.

What was wrong with him lately?

He actually put such a beauty and Shen Qingxuan together in his mind.

Chen Qingshu didn’t get angry at Jiang Yubing’s behavior, and still forced an embarrassed smile as he said, “Beauty, I’m the one who organized and invited everyone to this gathering. Everyone’s already here.”

Jiang Yubing’s expression grew even colder, Just as she was about to speak.

Shen Qingxuan’s voice sounded at the door.

“Sorry, everyone, I’m late.”

He just walked in, And instantly picked up on the displeasure on Jiang Yubing’s face.

He did not hesitate at all and immediately stepped up to defend her.

The smile on Chen Qingshu’s face froze for a moment, as if it had been set in stone.

The other classmates all stared at each other in confusion.

“Who’s this handsome guy?”

Some classmate whispered.

“I don’t know, but his voice sounds a little familiar.”

Another classmate chimed in.

The moment Jiang Yubing heard Shen Qingxuan’s voice, Her cold eyes instantly shone brightly.

“Shen Qingxuan, over here.”

She stood up excitedly, waved and called out, The chilly, distant look she wore just now disappeared without a trace.

As soon as everyone heard it was Shen Qingxuan, all conversations stopped at once.

A subtle atmosphere filled the entire room.

Shen Qingxuan strode through the crowd, went to Jiang Yubing’s side, And sat down naturally in that “reserved” seat.

When he did this, Chen Qingshu’s face grew even uglier, But he could not lash out, so he could only stand there awkwardly.

“Class president, long time no see.”

Shen Qingxuan looked at him and gave a playful smile.

Chen Qingshu lifted his head slightly and swept his eyes over him, Nodded politely and said nothing more.

But his face turned more and more sullen.

Shen Qingxuan paid no attention to this at all.

All his attention stayed on Jiang Yubing as he whispered, “What happened just now? Who made you upset?”

Jiang Yubing glanced at Chen Qingshu and snorted lightly, “Isn’t it just some people, forcing themselves into places they don’t belong.”

As soon as she said this, Chen Qingshu’s face alternated between red and white.

The classmates around them all sensed the tense atmosphere, Those who liked gossip all cast curious glances over.

Zhao Ran and Bai Youwei watched the whole scene from the side in silence.

Bai Youwei nudged Zhao Ran and asked quietly, “What’s going on?”

Of course, she meant her best friend actually saving a seat for a boy.

“How would I know?”

Zhao Ran replied.

But he stood up, trying to ease the tension:

“All right, all right, it wasn’t easy for everyone to get together, let’s not have any unpleasantness. Take your seats, let’s get ready to eat.”

Shen Qingxuan saw it was his buddy speaking, so he kept quiet out of respect.

Seeing there was no more drama to watch, the other classmates finally sat down.

The server started bringing in dishes.

After several rounds of drinks, The classmates gradually loosened up and started chatting more.

Some started reminiscing about fun things from their school days, others shared their high school experiences.

After dinner.

Everyone suggested going to KTV to sing.

In the KTV, lights flashed and the music blared.

Chen Qingshu got some liquid courage, and went over to Jiang Yubing again, wanting to sing a duet with her.

“Beauty, want to sing a song together?”

Thanks to the alcohol, Chen Qingshu spoke with slurred words.

Jiang Yubing frowned and was about to refuse, But Shen Qingxuan suddenly stood up and blocked in front of Jiang Yubing.

A trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes: “I told you, don’t bother her.”

By now, Chen Qingshu was already half-drunk, Being blocked by Shen Qingxuan, his anger flared up at once.

He roughly pushed Shen Qingxuan aside: “Who do you think you are, what right do you have to stop me!”

This shove instantly quieted the already rowdy KTV, All eyes focused on the three of them, It seemed a conflict was about to explode.

“Just because I’m her husband.”

At this moment, Shen Qingxuan was blinded by rage.

He blurted out those words without thinking at all.

“Pfft, ha ha.”

Chen Qingshu froze for a second, then broke out into harsh, mocking laughter, That laugh overflowed with ridicule, as if he’d heard the funniest joke in the world.

He laughed while pointing at Shen Qingxuan, his face almost twisted:

“Shen Qingxuan, I admit you look all right now, a proper person.”

He paused, His laughter cut off abruptly, his tone turning even more mocking:

“But that joke is a bit much, isn’t it?

Why don’t you look in the mirror? With you, a broke loser?

How are you even worthy?”

He laughed so hard he doubled over, nearly in tears, As if the idea was so absurd he could not control himself.

All the classmates around showed surprise and doubt, Some began to whisper to each other, “No way, he doesn’t look the type.”

“Shen Qingxuan couldn’t even get Chu Yunshu, how could this be true?”

Doubts buzzed through the crowd, everyone thought Shen Qingxuan was just spouting nonsense.

While everyone discussed animatedly, Jiang Yubing slowly stood up, Her gaze remained calm but carried an undeniable firmness.

She gently took Shen Qingxuan’s arm and spoke in a bright, clear voice: “That’s right, what he said is true. Shen Qingxuan is my husband.”

At those words, the entire room went silent in an instant, Everyone stared with wide eyes, faces filled with shock, This fairy-like little girl was actually Shen Qingxuan’s wife.

Chen Qingshu looked like he had been hit with a spell, his mocking smile frozen on his face, His mouth hung open, but not a single word came out.

“How… how… is that… possible.”

Chen Qingshu stammered.

Jiang Yubing ignored him and simply swept her eyes over the crowd, Then turned to Shen Qingxuan with a gentle smile: “Let’s go, it’s too noisy here.”

Shen Qingxuan took her hand, the two of them holding hands.

After greeting Zhao Ran and Bai Youwei, They slowly walked out of the KTV.
