Chapter 49: Intervention and Revelation

“Xuan Li, our relationship isn’t that close. Please address me by my full name.”

Bai Mengze’s brows furrowed involuntarily as she looked at Xuan Li standing before her, surprised to encounter him here.

Hadn’t Xuan Li’s position as student council president already been revoked?

How had he even managed to get in here?

“Hmph, Bai Mengze, don’t be so sensitive! Xuan Li and I are officially a couple now. You, on the other hand, should stop trying to get close to him. Always thinking of seducing him, how shameless.”

“Li Zhongyi, if you have the guts, say that again! Me, seducing Xuan Li? You can be a bootlicker, but don’t drag me into it, okay?”

Ignoring the speculative gazes from all around, Bai Mengze had no choice but to suppress her rapidly rising anger for the sake of the upcoming competition. She was truly speechless with both Xuan Li and Li Zhongyi.

Still, it was quite good that these two peculiar individuals had found each other.

It saved others from their trouble.

“Li Zhongyi, don’t talk nonsense! Mengze and I aren’t… like that. We are… innocent. Even if I once pursued Mengze, you can’t speak of her in such a way.”

To Bai Mengze’s utter surprise, Xuan Li actually dared to say such things now.

With an expression of feigned admiration on his face, coupled with a deep, lingering gaze, his words came out with a hint of hesitation, completely giving away his true intentions.

It was an invitation for baseless speculation.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengze felt like she was about to explode with rage.

He was practically forcing her to resort to violence!

If Xuan Li had truly harbored feelings for her, how could he have failed to show his face even once when she was in detention?

During that time, he had even blacklisted her from all his social media accounts.

Such blatant actions had made it abundantly clear that, at that moment, Xuan Li wanted nothing to do with her.

Bai Mengze, for her part, felt absolutely nothing about this outcome.

Many people had left her life voluntarily; Xuan Li, an inconsequential figure, held no presence in her eyes whatsoever.

However, for Xuan Li to appear before her now, uttering such highly suggestive words… who were they truly meant for?

Perhaps they were for himself and for everyone else to hear!

“Oh my god, does that mean Bai Mengze is a homewrecker? She’s still pestering the student council president even after he’s confirmed his relationship with Li Zhongyi?”

“No way, aren’t there rumors lately that Ji Wenyan, that rich young master, is madly pursuing Bai Mengze?”

“Exactly! If I were Bai Mengze, with someone as handsome and wealthy as Ji Wenyan as an option, why would I ever bother with a loser like Xuan Li?”

“If there’s nothing between them, then why would Xuan Li say something like that?”

“Li Zhongyi is so pitiful! She finally got together with the student council president, only for something like this to happen.”

Listening to the whispers of the surrounding crowd, Bai Mengze coldly curled her lips. She was already preparing to deliver a fierce uppercut to the repulsive Xuan Li.

Right now, she was furious beyond measure, and no one could stop her!

However, it wasn’t just Bai Mengze who heard the crowd’s discussions; Li Zhongyi did as well.

Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Xuan Li. When he avoided her gaze, she turned her furious glare back to Bai Mengze.

‘It’s all this woman’s fault!’

‘If not for Bai Mengze, Xuan Li would only love me!’

“Bai Mengze, how dare you seduce Xuan Li, you slut—”

“Hey, hey, hey, when you speak, you need evidence. Baselessly slandering others can land you in jail.”

Just as Bai Mengze was about to unleash her punch, Ji Wenyan’s uniquely languid voice suddenly echoed.

Bai Mengze paused in surprise, then watched as Ji Wenyan stepped out from the crowd. He sneered at Xuan Li and Li Zhongyi, his subsequent words laced with a hint of anger.

For some inexplicable reason, upon hearing Ji Wenyan’s voice, a sudden wave of grievance washed over Bai Mengze’s heart.
