My Soft AI Boyfriend Turned into a Rough Man—and Kisses Me Until I Am Pregnant - Chapter 42

Xu Xiaoguai paused. “No… I’ve never taken a photo of him.”

A thought struck her, and she quickly searched Lu Wang’s name on her phone. As the CEO of Lu Corporation, there might be photos of him online.

But after a few minutes, Xu Xiaoguai only managed to find one profile shot. In the photo, Lu Wang stood among several middle-aged men in suits, shaking hands with someone. He was the tallest among them, his profile sharply defined, his nose bridge exceptionally straight, making his eyes appear even deeper. Though the photo was somewhat blurry, it was still evident that he was exceptionally handsome.

Xu Xiaoguai immediately showed the photo to Qi Yu.

“This one, the best-looking one here.”

She grinned happily, and just talking about Lu Wang seemed to make her forget about the hateful post on the confession wall.

Qi Yu looked at her skeptically, determined to see just how ugly this guy was.

Ten seconds later.

Qi Yu stared at the hopelessly blurry photo, utterly speechless.

“Xu Xiaoguai, I remember your phone’s camera wasn’t this bad before. Did you take this with a flip phone from years ago?”

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Qi Yu added, “Besides you, I doubt anyone could recognize him from this photo.”

Xu Xiaoguai bit her lower lip, realizing it really was hard to make out. “I didn’t take this photo, I found it online. Next time, I’ll just bring him to meet you. I don’t think he’d refuse.”

She put her phone away. “But right now, that post on the confession wall is still up, and we don’t even know who started the rumor.”

Qi Yu listened, slightly dazed by Xu Xiaoguai’s words, but she knew now wasn’t the time for gossip, they needed to find out who was behind the slander.

“Xiaoguai, whoever it is seems to know a lot about your situation. I think it must be someone from our class,” Qi Yu analyzed.

Xu Xiaoguai nodded. “I think so too. I don’t know why anyone would want to smear me like this.”

Qi Yu had a suspicion. “Do you think it could be Duan Yanzheng? Maybe he’s holding a grudge because you rejected him and lost face, so he’s trying to cause trouble for you.”

Xu Xiaoguai clenched her fists. “That’s just too much. I just don’t like him, what right does he have to spread rumors like that?”

“Come on, let’s go ask him right now. With behavior like this, how can he still be class president? I never should’ve voted for him in the first place!”

After saying this, Qi Yu stormed off toward the boys’ dormitory. Xu Xiaoguai hurried after her and grabbed her arm.

“But we don’t have any proof… If we go straight to him like this, he’ll definitely deny it.”

Qi Yu snorted. “We still have to confront him. I’m sure he’s involved. Otherwise, how would the person who posted on the confession wall know that someone asked you out and got rejected? And saying you seduced him? When did you ever seduce Duan Yanzheng? It’s clearly a case of a toad lusting after swan meat. I can’t believe I once tried to set you two up, I must’ve been blind!”

Dragging Xu Xiaoguai along, Qi Yu declared, “Don’t be afraid, I’ve got your back. If there’s any arguing, I’ll do it. It’s not like he can gather a bunch of guys to beat me up, right?”

And so, Xu Xiaoguai let herself be pulled toward the boys’ dormitory. She couldn’t hold Qi Yu back anyway, so she simply went along with it.

After all, Qi Yu was doing this for her.

Qi Yu had always been straightforward and outspoken. During military training, she was exceptionally cheerful, so their classmates were quite surprised to see the most socially fearless Qi Yu and the most socially anxious Xu Xiaoguai getting along so well.

They soon arrived at the boys’ dormitory building. Qi Yu opened QQ and called Duan Yanzheng, but he didn’t answer.

She glanced around and noticed a male classmate heading back to the dormitory.

Qi Yu immediately stopped him. “Feng Chen! Could you call the class monitor down for me?”

The boy looked at Qi Yu with confusion, then gave Xu Xiaoguai a strange glance.

It seemed the whole class already knew about Xu Xiaoguai getting into that luxury car.

“What do you want?”

“Come on, do me a favor. Get him up, I need to talk to him.”

“Alright.”

Feng Chen didn’t refuse. Shortly after he went upstairs, Duan Yanzheng came down from the boys’ dormitory.

He looked at the two girls and asked, “Qi Yu, did you call for me? What’s up?”

Qi Yu glared at him disdainfully. “Did you post something on the confession wall? Don’t play dumb, that was you, wasn’t it?”

Xu Xiaoguai also kept her eyes fixed on Duan Yanzheng.

Duan Yanzheng let out a laugh, almost mocking.

“What does that have to do with me? How can you be so sure it was me? Why would I bother posting something so pointless?”

His gaze shifted to Xu Xiaoguai. “Didn’t expect you to be so… interesting.”

Qi Yu sneered. “Pointless? Show me your phone, let me see if it was not really you.”

Duan Yanzheng slipped his hand into his pocket. “What’s on my phone is my private business. Why should I show you?”

He paused, then continued, “But if I don’t, you’ll just say I’m guilty.”

He handed the phone to Qi Yu. “Look for yourself, but don’t go snooping around.”

As she took the phone, Qi Yu muttered, “Who knows if you deleted the chat history? But I have my ways.”

She first opened Duan Yanzheng’s chat with the confession wall admin. The conversation was blank, but she noticed a small grass icon, indicating that messages had definitely been exchanged between them.

Who knew a guy could be so sneaky?

Qi Yu exited QQ and tried to open his photo gallery, thinking there might be a picture he’d taken of Xu Xiaoguai getting into the car.

But before she could see anything, Duan Yanzheng snatched the phone back.

“Qi Yu, that’s enough. You’ve seen my QQ, isn’t that enough? My photo gallery is private. I’m not letting you see that. You’re crossing the line.”

After saying this, he put his phone away and turned to leave.

Qi Yu grabbed his arm. “Duan Yanzheng, don’t think I don’t know, you’re the one who posted it.”

She had practiced Taekwondo and wasn’t afraid of what he might do.

“Qi Yu, stop acting like a madwoman. Xu Xiaoguai, pull her away. Don’t let her bite everyone she sees.”

Hearing Duan Yanzheng talk about Qi Yu like that made Xu Xiaoguai angry too.

Just as she was about to step forward, she saw Duan Yanzheng trying to shake Qi Yu off forcefully.

Xu Xiaoguai didn’t know Qi Yu practiced Taekwondo. Worried she might get hurt, without a second thought, she mustered all her strength and charged straight at Duan Yanzheng.

The man let out a sharp cry as he crashed to the ground. Xu Xiaoguai, unable to stop in time, also stumbled and fell beside Duan Yanzheng.

Seeing Xu Xiaoguai fall, Qi Yu was so furious that she immediately kicked Duan Yanzheng twice.

“You idiot! You did it and still won’t admit it? Serves you right! I should’ve just knocked you into an eunuch!”

After saying this, Qi Yu quickly went to help Xu Xiaoguai up.

“Are you okay, Xiaoguai?”

Xu Xiaoguai’s arm was scraped and bleeding, but seeing that Qi Yu was unharmed, she didn’t mind her own injury.

Qi Yu’s kicks were forceful. Duan Yanzheng, already caught off guard by Xu Xiaoguai’s sudden collision and fall, was now clutching his stomach on the ground, unable to get up after being kicked twice by Qi Yu.

Qi Yu took Xu Xiaoguai’s hand and prepared to leave. “Don’t bother with him, Xiaoguai. He deserves it for doing such a disgraceful thing.”

Xu Xiaoguai had acted impulsively in the heat of the moment, but now she was worried that Qi Yu might get dragged into trouble because of her.

An hour later, Xu Xiaoguai received a message from their instructor, asking her and Qi Yu to come to the office.

Xu Xiaoguai looked apologetic. “I’m sorry, Xiao Yu. It’s because of me that the instructor called you in.”

Qi Yu had just finished reapplying her makeup after washing her face. She snapped her compact shut forcefully, looking as if she wished she could castrate that scumbag Duan Yanzheng.

“It’s fine, no big deal. Even if the instructor calls us in, it should be Duan Yanzheng who’s at fault. I was just serving justice!”

With that, Qi Yu stood up. “Let’s go and see what the instructor wants with us.”
