Chapter 721: 721, who can stand that?
“Are we really moving?” Bai Ruwei was hesitant again.
Huo Zhexi lost his patience, “Haven’t we already agreed on this?”
“But…” Bai Ruwei bit her lip, her mind wavering, “Your parents were so angry last night, and there’s Miss Gu…”
“Enough, I’ve already chosen to confront my parents, and the house has been rented. As for Miss Gu, she’s just someone my parents like, I don’t like her at all.”
Bai Ruwei looked at him, “But she’s very pretty, and the Gu and Huo families are suited, why don’t you…”
“Xiaowei!” Huo Zhexi gazed at her seriously, “I’ll get angry if you keep talking like this. How many times do I have to say it? I don’t like anyone else, I just like you, the girlfriend I’ve dated for the longest time, my first cohabiting girlfriend. I want to show my parents that I’m serious this time. If they don’t agree to our marriage, I will never move back!”
He spoke resolutely and passionately, and a smile finally appeared on Bai Ruwei’s face.
“Let’s go, I’ll help you move your stuff.”
“Mm.”
They walked onto the campus.
It was around five in the evening, the sky was duskily hued, and students were scattered around the campus.
Huo Zhexi, walking with his girlfriend, was relatively serious. He didn’t leer or squint. He carried himself with pride, walking tall, and the slightest hint of an impish smile played on his lips.
At first glance, he looked handsome in tailor-made suit, his face fair and handsome. His hair cropped short added even more to his looks.
Quite a few girls glanced at him, whispering among themselves.
Bai Ruwei’s hand was held tightly by Huo Zhexi, interlacing their fingers. She faced with others’ gazes, for the first time in her life, she felt a sense of… triumph.
She was always the one unnoticed in school.
Due to her poor family background and coming from a rural place, she had to earn her tuition and living expenses by working. She had no money to dress up.
But Nancheng University was the top institution in Nancheng, with mostly rich kids studying there.
Only she wore cheap clothes, always moving around curled up, head down in shyness, scared that someone might notice her.
The girl she most envied was Mo Weiyi.
So aloof, proud and beautiful, each time she appeared, like the heroine of a drama. She had the innate aura of an aristocratic daughter, a world she couldn’t even imagine.
After getting to know Su Wanwan, she began to envy Su Wanwan even more.
Because Su Wanwan was more down-to-earth compared to Mo Weiyi. The Su family was just a normal family, Su Wanwan just an ordinary girl.
During the summer she worked as a maid in the Su family, it was when Xing Yuyun and Su Yanyan’s affair got exposed, she often heard Aunt Yang talking about Su Wanwan.
She was said to have been brought back from a welfare institution by old master Su after Su Yuntang and Jiang Yi got married. Her mother died when she was born.
Su Yuntang disliked this sudden arrival of an elder daughter.
Especially since a year later, Jiang Yi gave birth to Su Yanyan.
Compared to Su Wanwan, the illegitimate daughter of the Su family, Su Yanyan was the rightful miss of the Su family.
In the Su family, apart from receiving affection from the old master, no one else liked her.
Since childhood, as long as the old master was not around, anyone in the Su family could bully her. She was practically the modern version of “Cinderella”.
Who could have thought that this “Cinderella” would make a sudden return home and catch the adulterers in the act? Everyone thought she could only swallow this bitter pill, but then Huo Jingshen appeared, successfully proposing to her in front of the entire Su family.
Since then, Su Wanwan changed dramatically, becoming a golden phoenix flying high.
Seeing this with her own eyes made Bai Ruwei understand that hard work often counts for nothing, because everyone’s fate is already arranged by the heavens. People like Mo Weiyi have the destiny of a princess since birth, while those like Su Wanwan are mid-way twists of fortune.
What about her?
Bai Ruwei held Huo Zhexi’s hand tightly, it seemed her good fortune had also arrived, hadn’t it?
…
They finally arrived at the girls’ dormitory and were about to go in, when the dormitory manager stopped them, “Stop! I have said it many times, no boys allowed in the dormitory.”
Bai Ruwei said nothing.
Huo Zhexi went up to the manager, “I’m her boyfriend, here to help her move.”
The manager frowned, her sharp eyes sizing up Huo Zhexi.
With cropped hair and a sleek appearance, his suite was branded, shoes perfectly polished. The diamond watch on his wrist blinded others as he stretched out his hand.
“Do you know who I am?” Huo Jingshen said impatiently.
The manager hesitated, and then unconsciously said, “Go on in, but don’t stay too long.”
Huo Zhexi snorted and confidently walked in with his girlfriend.
…
When they arrived at the door of the dormitory, Bai Ruwei entered first and reminded her roommates, “My boyfriend is here to help me move, look out.”
Her roommates had all just finished their meals and were in leisurely postures. Hearing this, they had to sit straight and dress properly.
Those with bad tempers even said some harsh words.
If it had been before, Bai Ruwei would have immediately apologized, but today she said nothing and was unusually cold and aloof.
Just as her roommates were wondering what was going on, Huo Zhexi walked in.
A tall figure over six feet, wearing a tailored suit, with a short hair, a handsome face, and a slight mischievous smile when he laughed.
Seeing her roommates’ instantly shocked and envious expressions, Bai Ruwei felt incredibly satisfied, but her face still maintained its calmness.
She didn’t have much luggage, just one suitcase and another bag that were already filled, she didn’t need to bring her bedding and such.
Huo Zhexi picked up the belongings and left directly, just as Bai Ruwei was about to follow, she was abruptly pulled back by one of her roommates.
“Bai Ruwei, is that guy your boyfriend?”
Bai Ruwei nodded.
The other roommates hurriedly came over and bombarded her with questions:
“You’ve been so secretive, haven’t you?”
“How long have you been dating?”
“What does he do? He’s so handsome.”
“Where are you moving to live?”
Bai Ruwei, with her backpack on her shoulders, nonchalantly stated, “His name is Huo Zhexi, we’ve been together for more than half a year.”
After saying that, she left, leaving the group of people dumbfounded.
“What was the name of her boyfriend again?”
“Huo Zhexi, is he the third son of Nancheng’s richest Huo Family?”
“Impossible, right? How could a poor girl like Bai Ruwei know the third son of the Huo Family?”
“That Huo son could have never liked her!”
“Hurry up and look it up online.”
Someone quickly took out their phone and searched for the name “Huo Zhexi”.
Upon seeing Huo Zhexi’s photo, all the roommates were completely stunned.
At this moment, they immensely regretted their past behaviours.
Huo Zhexi is really Bai Ruwei’s boyfriend?
They’re even moving out to live together?
So in this world, there actually exist love stories of arrogant cool young masters falling in love with the ugly ducklings?

Meanwhile, in Mu Shang’s car.
Su Wanwan asked in surprise, “Did you really cancel all of Huo Zhexi’s bankcards?”
Huo Jingshen nodded lightly.
“And you’re only giving him a monthly salary of 4000 yuan?”
Huo Jingshen continued nodding.
“Damn, you’re too ruthless!”
Su Wanwan suddenly felt that Huo Jingshen had been pretty gentle with her in the past.
After all, she is just a university student with low expenses.
But Huo Zhexi is different, he grew up as a young master of his household, living a lavish lifestyle, how could 4000 yuan be enough for him to spend?
It probably won’t even cover a single round of drinks.
Moreover, now having to work nine to five, moving out to live together, clothing, food, housing, transportation… all require money.
Huo Jingshen casually raised his eyebrows, his expression calm, “Having a tough young life will prevent detours in the future.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Listen to this tone…
It sounds like you’re already in your seventies or eighties.
She looked out the window, “Aren’t we going home? Where are we going?”
“Grandma said she missed you, asked me to take you home for dinner.”
“…Okay.”
Indeed, it has been a while since she’s last seen Huo’s old lady, but…
“Just for dinner, we’re not going to stay overnight, right?”
Huo Jingshen glanced at her, “What are you worrying about?”
Su Wanwan coughed twice, “Who made her always cook all kinds of oysters, bull’s penis, sea cucumber, turtle soup…”
Having so many virility-boosting kidney-nourishing dishes, who could bear it?
Huo Jingshen also suddenly coughed lightly.
The old lady’s desire for a great-grandson is almost written all over her face.
