Chapter 445 - 444: Someone’s Going to Get Triggered

Plenty of people knew that Yun Zijin had donated money to the university, and it was a significant sum.

If Yun Zijin were to go and voice her opinion, it might actually work.

Still, Qin Sitong wouldn’t go bothering Yun Zijin unless it was absolutely necessary. She wasn’t above a little name-dropping, though.

"Senior Sister Qin, we were just asking. It’s fine if you don’t want to say anything. We’ve got to go, so we’ll see you later. Bye, Senior Sister Qin."

The group that had wanted to stop Qin Sitong and ask about Fu Ze now scattered faster than anyone.

Once they were gone, Qin Sitong shot Fu Ze a glare. ’This man... he’s nothing but trouble.’

Fu Ze was completely baffled by her glare. ’I didn’t even do anything,’ he thought. ’Why is she glaring at me? How unfair is that?’

But even if Fu Ze was dense, he knew better than to argue right now. He could only play along.

"It’s my fault," Fu Ze promised. "Next time we’re in a crowded place, I’ll be sure to wear a mask."

He said, making his promise.

"Forget it. It’s not your fault. When someone’s outstanding, there will always be more people trying to snatch them away."

’If Fu Ze could be stolen away, it would only prove that they weren’t meant to be.’

Qin Sitong was a rational person, not some love-struck fool.

Fu Ze had no idea what was going through Qin Sitong’s mind. If he did, he would probably want to knock some sense into her.

’Honestly, what kind of nonsense goes through that little head of hers all day?’

After being single for so many years, the fact that he had so resolutely confessed to her meant he was definitely in it for the long haul, with marriage in mind.

He wasn’t like those playboys who treated life as a game, swapping girlfriends as often as they changed clothes.

Fu Ze followed Qin Sitong through the gates of Dijing University, then waited with her at the campus bus stop just inside.

"If I’d driven onto campus, I could have dropped you right at your dorm by now. We wouldn’t have to be waiting here."

Fu Ze felt it wasn’t about what car he drove. What mattered was that Qin Sitong let other people know she had a boyfriend.

"That’s too high-profile, which isn’t good. Besides, the campus bus is quick."

A bus came every ten minutes on average, which was very convenient for students without their own transportation.

"You just don’t like my car. Next time I’ll drive something more low-key. That would be okay, right?"

Fu Ze mentally scrolled through the cars in his garage, wondering which one looked relatively low-key.

As he said this, he sounded a little hurt.

Anyone would feel hurt if they happily went to pick up their girlfriend, only to be disliked because their car was too expensive.

"It’s just that I don’t want to cause any trouble. If you drove a car worth a hundred or two hundred thousand, I wouldn’t have to be this cautious."

Fu Ze was speechless.

’I’ve never even seen a car worth only a hundred thousand in my entire life.’

"A car that costs a hundred-something thousand... Are you sure its safety features are reliable?"

Fu Ze’s tone was laced with uncertainty.

Qin Sitong rolled her eyes. "Of course they are! Otherwise, would dealerships even dare to sell them? Young Master, I know you’re rich, but don’t overdo it, okay?"

’You’re going to make some people feel attacked.’

"Then... should I go buy one?"

Fu Ze figured that if Qin Sitong disliked a car worth several million, he could just drive one that cost less than a million. That should be fine, right?

Don’t tell him that even a car worth less than a million could lead to rumors about her being a sugar baby.

If that were the case, Fu Ze could only conclude that to the dirty-minded, everything looks dirty.

"No, you don’t have to change your lifestyle for me. I’ll get used to it eventually."

It was just that their relationship was still new, and Qin Sitong hadn’t quite adjusted her mindset yet.

Once she’d had some time to adjust, Fu Ze wouldn’t have to park a whole street away from campus anymore.

Fu Ze ruffled Qin Sitong’s hair. "Alright, I’ll give you time to adjust. Just don’t make me wait too long."

Qin Sitong looked up at Fu Ze. "Okay."

"The bus is here."

Qin Sitong pulled her campus card from her bag. "You should head back. I’m getting on."

But Fu Ze shook his head. "I’ll ride with you. I want you to experience a proper campus romance."

’My age might not be quite right for it, but at least the location is,’ he thought.

Fu Ze’s words made Qin Sitong blush, but she didn’t refuse.

If Fu Ze changed into something a male university student would wear, he could easily pass for one.

As long as he didn’t say anything, no one would ever guess he was several years older than the average college guy.

Fu Ze followed Qin Sitong onto the bus, and she used her campus card to pay the two-yuan fare for him.

"My treat."

Qin Sitong waved her campus card, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Fu Ze.

"Thanks. I’ll bring you some good snacks next time."

He couldn’t return the favor using a campus card, but he could treat her in other ways.

Qin Sitong didn’t refuse. Since they were a couple, it was normal to treat each other and exchange gifts.

At this hour, the campus bus heading toward the dorms was nearly empty. Qin Sitong quickly made her way to the back, and the two of them sat down in a pair of adjacent seats.

The bus slowly began to move forward only after they were seated.

About ten minutes later, they arrived at the women’s dormitory. The moment the bus came to a complete stop, Qin Sitong pulled him off.

"This is my stop. You should hurry back too. Don’t let me interfere with your work."

Fu Ze had taken over the Fu Group now, and he had documents to review and sign every day.

Fu Ze didn’t turn to leave right away. Instead, he looked at Qin Sitong. "Did you forget something?"

Qin Sitong looked confused. "What?"

Fu Ze took her hand, preventing her from leaving.

Seeing that she truly didn’t understand, Fu Ze pulled her over to the base of a nearby tree and, without another word, lowered his head and pressed a kiss to her lips.

However, not wanting to startle her, he only lingered for a moment before letting her go.

"A goodbye kiss."

Fu Ze’s voice was a little hoarse. Qin Sitong’s face was as red as an apple.

She hadn’t expected Fu Ze to be so bold. This was right in front of the women’s dormitory! Even though he had deliberately pulled her under a large tree, there was no guarantee someone wouldn’t walk by.

"I... I’m going up now."

Qin Sitong pushed Fu Ze away, spun around, and ran quickly into the dorm building.

Fu Ze let her go. He had gotten what he wanted, after all.

Only after confirming that Qin Sitong had made it back to her dorm safely did Fu Ze call his driver and tell him to bring the car onto campus to pick him up from the women’s dormitory.

Qin Sitong was afraid of being seen getting out of a luxury car, which could lead to misunderstandings and malicious rumors. Fu Ze, however, had no such fears.

If anyone dared to start rumors, Fu Ze would see the matter through to the very end.

Back in the dorm, Ren Hui and Li Cui were both present. The moment Qin Sitong walked in, they both fell silent, cutting off their conversation.

Qin Sitong paid them no mind. Even though they were roommates, she really couldn’t get along with them in the slightest.

After lunch, Yun Zijin took her usual nap in the private lounge of Lu Yunque’s office. When she woke up in the afternoon, she stayed in his office and played on her tablet.

Today, however, Yun Zijin wasn’t binge-watching any shows. Instead, she was browsing the new collections sent over by various SAs.
