Chapter 282: Trivial Matters Along the Way

Fu Xue finally saw Wang Haoran arrive.

“Sister Ning, you’re here!”

“We are all set and ready to go at any time!”

She glared at Wang Haoran, who was over three hours late, then happily greeted Ning Xueluo.

As for Zhu Nan, she ignored her entirely.

After all, she could tell at a glance that this woman was yet another one of Wang Haoran’s lovers!

However, just as they were about to board the helicopter, Fu Xue pulled Wang Haoran aside.

Seeing her mysterious demeanor, Wang Haoran was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”

Fu Xue asked, “Wang Haoran, what are you planning to do about Ruochu?”

“…Xu Ruochu? What is there to handle?”

“She’s been wanting to apologize to you but hasn’t had the courage to find you, so she’s been asking me to relay her messages!”

Thinking about it, Fu Xue felt helpless.

Wang Haoran casually replied.

“…Apologize? Tell her it’s unnecessary; I’m not angry.”

“Then why are you deliberately ignoring her?”

“What are you implying? We’ve already broken up; a clean break is only natural.”

“But she doesn’t seem to want to break up with you… Besides, she was influenced by Murong… You should see her.”

“There’s no need. Meeting would only be awkward. Xuexue, just tell her that I don’t hold a grudge and that we broke up because we’re incompatible.”

“Her mother’s healthy now, and they’re financially stable. She can live peacefully. Let bygones be bygones.”

“There’s no need for an in-person apology!”

“But…”

Fu Xue wanted to say more but was interrupted by Wang Haoran.

“Alright, let’s not drag this out any longer. We should get going.”

“…You have the nerve to say that?! Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting?! If not for you, we’d already be in Tianyuan Town by now!”

“My apologies, my apologies!”

“Hmph!”

Seeing that Wang Haoran clearly didn’t want to discuss Xu Ruochu any further, Fu Xue sighed helplessly.

“…So I’ll relay your exact words to her?”

“Yes, do that.”

Then, Wang Haoran turned and boarded the helicopter.

Watching him, Fu Xue didn’t follow immediately but went into a nearby room instead.

“Ruochu, you heard what Wang Haoran said, right?”

“…”

“I think he’s right; stop obsessing over it. Forget about him!”

Seeing Xu Ruochu with her head down on the table, Fu Xue went over and patted her shoulder.

“Take your time to think it through. I must go now.”

With that, Fu Xue also left.

As the silence enveloped the room, soft sobs began to echo.

(tln : well well well, this is the first time Haoran ignoring a girl)

***

As Wang Haoran and his group took the helicopter towards Tianyuan Town, the Ancient Martial World entrance…

At the Wang household, one person was cursing Wang Haoran in her mind.

“Bastard! The tasks I want are those intimate and shy couple tasks!”

“And you made me study advanced mathematics?!”

Chen Muyu angrily scrawled on scrap paper.

Her grades were initially poor; she scored only 211 on the college entrance exams, not enough for any decent university.

Her father wanted to use money to pull some strings, but she stopped him.

She hated studying and only wanted to enjoy life at home. Her doting father allowed it.

But she never expected Wang Haoran to order her to study—especially something like advanced mathematics!

She couldn’t even understand the first page!

However, she couldn’t refuse. Sitting next to her was Zhou Yingying, supervising her studies with a smile.

“Hehe, Xiao Yuzi, hurry up and study! Or Brother Haoran might punish you when he returns!”

“Hmph! What’s so funny?!”

Chen Muyu fumed. “You’ve got the nerve to laugh after being filled all night!”

Then, she turned to Xia Xinyan on her right and began ranting again.

“And you too! You look so innocent but can say the filthiest things!”

That morning Xia Xinyan had been carried out of the room by Wang Haoran.

Hmph, clinging onto him like a wombat with a blushing face, murmuring those scandalous words.

Instead of getting angry, Xia Xinyan smiled while munching on snacks and watching Chen Muyu struggle.

“Xiao yuzi, are you jealous?”

“You shouldn’t be! Brother Haoran skipped you because of your health.”

“If you genuinely want it, ask him when he returns; maybe he’ll indulge you alone.”

“…I don’t… want that!”

The thought of doing it alone made Chen Muyu blush and shake her head vigorously—

But if it’s punishment… I couldn’t say no…

She shyly thought.

***

Another person complaining like Chen Muyu was Qingyi, Zhu Nan’s personal assistant.

She was holding some project proposals for approval by Fu Bo, the head of Wang’s Group.

She’d spent the whole day fretting over her mistress and Wang Haoran heading to the Ancient Martial World without taking her along. She felt left out.

“My lady claimed my skills are too weak… And for safety wanted me here…”

“Sure it makes sense… But I’ve been with you for so many years! It was me who helped you escape from the Ancient Martial World!”

“Now because of Wang Haoran, I’m left behind… You’re just avoiding me being a third wheel during your intimate moments!”

Moreover, being told to work at Wang’s Group! The more Qingyi thought about it, the angrier she got.

Unable to vent at her mistress or Wang Haoran, she found a target: Fu Bo.

Slapping the table, she yelled at him,

“Hurry up with the review! I don’t have all day—I need lunch!”
