I Stole the Male Lead's White Moonlight [Transmigration] - Chapter 14
Que Hanfu saw Zhu Xinya being pushed aside by Wang Tingxiang, her cold eyes narrowing sharply.
Yet Wang Tingxiang seemed completely oblivious to the danger, still enthusiastically chatting with Que Hanfu.
“My uncle is Vice Principal Wang. He often mentions you, saying you’re a golden sign at Longcheng University. Many students who originally planned to study abroad chose to take Longcheng University’s entrance exams just to study under you. My uncle says you possess great wisdom and that I should seek your guidance whenever needed. Professor Que, if any student is being disobedient in class, just leave it to me, I’ll handle it perfectly for you.”
Wang Tingxiang patted her chest confidently.
Zhu Xinya rolled her eyes at Wang Tingxiang’s constant name-dropping of her “uncle” and “Vice Principal Wang.”
She walked over, forcefully pushed Wang Tingxiang aside, and before Wang Tingxiang could react, wrapped her arms around Que Hanfu’s. Pouting, she pointed her delicate white finger at Wang Tingxiang and complained, “Professor Que, she’s the one who bullied me.”
Wang Tingxiang was stunned. “No, that’s not true, I didn’t Professor Que, what is your relationship with this student?” she asked cautiously.
Que Hanfu lowered her gaze, meeting Zhu Xinya’s watery eyes, and replied calmly, “She’s my sister.”
Wang Tingxiang looked skeptical. “Professor Que, you and your sister don’t look very alike.”
Emboldened by having backup, Zhu Xinya lifted her innocent face and retorted, “There are plenty of sisters who don’t look alike. Hanfu sister takes after her mother, and I take after my father. Is that not allowed?”
Of course, you don’t need to know that Hanfu’s mother and my father aren’t married.
Wang Tingxiang was left speechless and turned to Que Hanfu. “Professor Que, is what she said.”
“Yaya is my sister,” Que Hanfu affirmed.
Wang Tingxiang’s expression soured. She glanced awkwardly at Zhu Xinya, forcing a smile. “So you’re Professor Que’s sister. What a misunderstanding like family failing to recognize family. Yaya lost her umbrella and jacket, right? Let’s check the surveillance! We’ll go check it right away.”
Wang Tingxiang’s quick change of attitude left Lin Han, who was standing nearby, utterly dumbfounded.
Zhu Xinya declared, “It’s not as simple as just checking the surveillance now. I need to talk to my sister.” She gently shook Que Hanfu’s arm, stood on her tiptoes, and brought her pink lips close to Que Hanfu’s ear.
The soft touch against her arm and the warm breath near her ear made Que Hanfu momentarily dazed. By the time she regained her composure, Zhu Xinya had finished speaking and was looking at her expectantly.
“Hanfu sister, is that okay?””
Que Hanfu pressed her lips together. “Okay.” She didn’t even know why she agreed, she simply couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
Zhu Xinya immediately beamed, her eyes crinkling into little crescents, sparkling with delight. “Hanfu sister, you’re the best~”
Her voice was sweet, like honey pouring over Que Hanfu’s heart.
Wang Tingxiang, assuming Zhu Xinya was tattling on her, grew anxious. As soon as the two finished talking, she hurriedly explained, “Professor Que, I really didn’t bully your sister. I was just following the university’s regulations. You can ask anyone else in the office they all saw what happened.”
Wang Tingxiang was confident none of her colleagues would dare betray her. After all, her uncle, Vice Principal Wang, oversaw faculty promotions. Unless they wanted to jeopardize their career advancement, no one would speak against her.
Que Hanfu glanced at the others in the office. Apart from Lin Han, who seemed hesitant, everyone else was nodding with smiles, affirming Wang Tingxiang’s statement.
Zhu Xinya didn’t question the hesitant Lin Han, partly because Lin Han still had to work at Longcheng University. Whether she told the truth or felt compelled to cover for Wang Tingxiang like the others, it wouldn’t do her any good. And secondly, of course, because Zhu Xinya had other, more compelling evidence.
Zhu Xinya released her arm from around Que Hanfu. As the warmth faded, Que Hanfu felt a sudden chill on her arm.
“Ms. Wang, if you’ve lost your memory, I don’t mind helping you recall it,” Zhu Xinya said, shaking her phone and playing a recording.
[“You! Stop disturbing us at work, or I’ll report you to your advisor. You’re a junior, if you don’t want to fail and have to retake exams, get out of here now!”]
[“Let me be clear: my uncle is the vice president of Longcheng University. Even if you bring your advisor here, if I say you can’t access the surveillance footage, then you can’t!”]
The voice on the recording alternated between furious and arrogantly triumphant. Wang Tingxiang’s face instantly turned pale.
The warmth in Que Hanfu’s eyes gradually faded. By the time the recording finished, her gaze toward Wang Tingxiang had turned icy. Wang Tingxiang trembled under her stare.
“Professor Que, let me explain.” Wang Tingxiang tried to defend herself.
Que Hanfu replied, “The person you harmed isn’t me. There’s no need to explain to me.”
Wang Tingxiang gritted her teeth, her face crumpling as she prepared to apologize and beg Zhu Xinya for mercy. But before she could even open her mouth, Zhu Xinya stopped her.
“No need. I won’t accept your apology.”
The others in the office, realizing Wang Tingxiang had messed with the wrong person, all kept their heads down, prioritizing self-preservation and no longer daring to speak up for her.
Meanwhile, Lin Han’s hesitant and uncertain gaze gradually brightened.
Que Hanfu stated, “I will truthfully report to President Zhang how you threatened a student with failing grades and prevented them from accessing surveillance footage to retrieve lost items.”
Wang Tingxiang’s legs gave way, and she collapsed to the floor.
Given Que Hanfu’s standing at Longcheng University, her personally reporting the matter to President Zhang was tantamount to a death sentence for Wang Tingxiang. Even her uncle, Vice President Wang, wouldn’t be able to save her.
Many in the office felt a sense of satisfaction. Someone couldn’t resist muttering, “See, this is why you shouldn’t do bad things. Sooner or later, you’ll get caught! Forget an uncle not even an aunt could save you now!”
“Haha, you’re right, Xiao Liu.”
In the past, if Wang Tingxiang had heard someone mocking her like that, she would have rushed over to confront them. But now, with her promising career about to crumble, her mind was in chaos, and she didn’t even register the words deliberately spoken for her to hear.
Lin Han walked over to help Wang Tingxiang up. “The floor is cold. Be careful not to catch a chill.”
Wang Tingxiang’s body was still trembling slightly. She looked at Lin Han blankly, allowed herself to be helped up, and sat down on a nearby chair.
Zhu Xinya followed Que Hanfu out of the comprehensive advisors’ office, continuously praising her. “Hanfu, you’re just amazing.”
Que Hanfu stopped abruptly once they were outside the administrative building. Zhu Xinya, not paying attention, nearly bumped into her back. “Hanfu, why did you stop all of a sudden?”
Que Hanfu turned around, her expression inscrutable as she studied Zhu Xinya for a few seconds. Just as Zhu Xinya began to feel nervous, Que Hanfu parted her red lips and asked softly, “What did you call me back in the office just now?”
Zhu Xinya: “Sister Hanfu?”
Que Hanfu’s lashes lowered slightly. “The term ‘sister’ is quite nice. You may call me that from now on.” With that, she turned and continued walking.
Zhu Xinya froze for a moment before bursting into laughter upon realization, her cunning eyes sparkling like starlight.
So, Que Hanfu liked being called ‘sister’ by her~
If they couldn’t become close friends, being sisters wouldn’t be bad either. Calling her ‘sister’ wouldn’t cost her anything anyway.
Zhu Xinya jogged to catch up with Que Hanfu’s pace, whining softly, “Sister, why didn’t you wait for me?”
Without looking at her, Que Hanfu placed a hand on her head and gently patted it. “Be good, and sister will wait for you.”
