My Soft AI Boyfriend Turned into a Rough Man—and Kisses Me Until I Am Pregnant - Chapter 43

At the same time.

Lu Wang had just arrived in Dongcheng by plane. After disembarking, he planned to head straight to the location of the development project.

The message he sent to Little Beauty had only been replied to with a sticker.

Sitting in the car, Lu Wang instructed Qiao Wen to find out what his Little Beauty was up to.

That little woman was always shy, rather than asking her directly, it was better to investigate himself.

After all, she wouldn’t know.

He might as well check if any men at school were trying to seduce his Little Beauty.

Beside him, Qiao Wen spoke while handing his phone to Lu Wang, “Boss, Miss Xu has run into some trouble at school.”

Lu Wang snatched the phone from his hand, his brow furrowing tightly as he scrutinized what had happened.

The image was a screenshot of the confession wall where Xu Xiaoguai had spread rumors. Lu Wang glanced over it, and the words on it made his expression grow increasingly grim.

“What does ‘public bus’ mean?”

Lu Wang had only returned to the country about a year ago. Having spent most of his time in E Country before that, he wasn’t familiar with some of the insulting slang.

Qiao Wen took a deep breath. Was this something he could say out loud?

Would the boss end up hitting him too?

“It’s… it’s a derogatory term.”

Qiao Wen couldn’t spell it out too clearly. If the boss heard the full meaning, he would definitely be furious.

“Of course, I know it’s an insult. I’m asking what it means.”

Qiao Wen’s breath hitched. Fine, he’d just have to go for it.

“A public bus is something anyone can ride, Boss, so… so this person is implying that…”

Before Qiao Wen could finish, the man cut him off.

Lu Wang had run out of patience. “Turn the car around now, driver. We’re heading back to Beicheng.”

He had just left on a business trip, and someone was already bullying Little Beauty like this.

Little Beauty was so well-behaved and innocent. Seeing someone insult her like that must have made her incredibly upset.

Just thinking about it made Lu Wang’s heart ache.

“Huh?”

Qiao Wen was stunned. “Boss, we just got here. The people over there are still waiting.”

“Maybe you should finish handling things here first? Otherwise, the people waiting might…”

Qiao Wen felt like crying but had no tears. Although the boss’s presence wasn’t strictly necessary for this project, they had already made the trip. Turning back less than half an hour after arriving was just unreasonable.

Lu Wang shot him a cold glare. “If you have so much to say, you can stay here by yourself.”

Which was more important, a project or his wife?

Lu Wang didn’t even need to think about it; he would choose the latter without hesitation.

Right now, Little Beauty definitely needed him. She was probably on the verge of tears, her eyes red with grievance. She might even be missing him already. At a time like this, when she needed him so much, he couldn’t let her face all that criticism alone.

Little Beauty must cry in his arms!

Qiao Wen didn’t dare say another word.

“Boss, this project isn’t that urgent anyway. Handling Miss Xu’s matter is more important. We can always hold a video conference with the people here tonight. I’ll just tell them your flight was delayed.”

After saying this, Qiao Wen cautiously added, “Boss, I’ll have someone track down the IP address and personal information of the person spreading the rumors right away, so you can deal with this properly. How does that sound?”

Only then did Lu Wang slowly shift his gaze to Qiao Wen. “Mm, that’s a good plan.”

He survived.

Qiao Wen wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Two hours later, Lu Wang got off the plane.

Qiao Wen had already found out who was behind this. Lu Wang glanced at the person’s photo and found him somewhat familiar.

Hah.

So it was that overconfident guy who had confessed to Little Beauty.

“Send this to the principal and have the school clarify things for her. As for how to handle it, they should know what to do.”

“Yes, boss.”

Lu Wang got into the car, and Qiao Wen drove toward Xu Xiaoguai’s school.

After Xu Xiaoguai and Qi Yu arrived at the office door, she began to feel nervous.

This was a university, and students could be expelled. She wouldn’t mind being punished herself, but if she ended up dragging Qi Yu down with her, she would never forgive herself.

Qi Yu kept holding Xu Xiaoguai’s arm, signaling her to relax and not be afraid.

Xu Xiaoguai nodded.

Qi Yu reached out and knocked on the door before opening it and stepping inside. As soon as she looked up, she saw Duan Yanzheng was also there, looking somewhat weak and with his clothes dirty.

“Advisor.”

Qi Yu spoke first.

When Duan Yanzheng glanced over, Qi Yu glared fiercely at him.

Duan Yanzheng silently averted his gaze and then played the victim first.

“Advisor, Qi Yu and Xu Xiaoguai came looking for trouble with me downstairs at the boys’ dormitory. You’ve already seen the injuries on me, I can’t just be wrongly accused and beaten up for nothing.”

Duan Yanzheng turned the tables.

Xu Xiaoguai’s face flushed bright red with anger. “That’s not what happened at all!”

Qi Yu smiled sarcastically and grabbed Xu Xiaoguai’s hand. “Advisor, look… Xu Xiaoguai’s arm was scraped because of him. Even after applying medicine, the wound still looks this frightening!”

“Duan Yanzheng, you’re a grown man claiming that two girls came to pick a fight with you. If I were you, I’d be too ashamed to even mention it. How dare you come here and complain to the advisor? Don’t you know what you did?”

Xu Xiaoguai nodded vigorously beside her (`^′)

Exactly, that’s right!

How could a grown man like Duan Yanzheng be bullied by two young girls?

The advisor looked at Xu Xiaoguai, then shifted her gaze to Duan Yanzheng.

“Why did they… come looking for trouble with you?”

Perhaps because the advisor also found it puzzling, Qi Yu, though straightforward in personality, didn’t seem like she could overpower Duan Yanzheng, and Xu Xiaoguai, being so delicate, was even less likely.

Moreover, she had a reason for asking this way.

The principal had just sent her some information.

She simply wanted to see if Duan Yanzheng would admit to it.

Duan Yanzheng put on an innocent expression. “Advisor, I don’t know if you’ve seen the confession wall post. Xu Xiaoguai’s private life is a mess, and someone exposed it. She and Qi Yu pinned the blame on me. I even showed them my phone, but they still refused to believe me.”

Duan Yanzheng accused.

The advisor cleared her throat. “Then why did they pin it on you?”

Duan Yanzheng was momentarily speechless, because if he admitted that he had confessed to Xu Xiaoguai and been rejected, it would be embarrassing.

Qi Yu wasn’t about to let him off the hook. “Advisor, let me explain. Our class monitor confessed to Xu Xiaoguai some time ago and got rejected. Yesterday, he asked her to eat together and go to class with him, and after being rejected again, he got angry and posted those lies to slander Xu Xiaoguai.”

Duan Yanzheng glared at her, “You’re the one slandering me here. What evidence do you have that I sent it?”

Qi Yu rolled her eyes, “You deleted the chat history. Dare you say you never messaged the confession wall? ‘Little Grass’ is already exposed, who are you trying to fool? If you’ve got the guts, open your photo album and show us.”

Duan Yanzheng took out his phone and opened his photo album for the advisor to see.

“Advisor, look. There’s nothing in my album. Qi Yu is being way too arrogant, shouting like this right in front of you.”

“Indeed, there aren’t any unusual photos.”

As soon as the advisor said this, Qi Yu walked over. “Advisor, just check the recently deleted folder and you’ll know.”

She opened the recently deleted folder in Duan Yanzheng’s album and, sure enough, there was a photo of Xu Xiaoguai getting into a luxury car.

“You still dare say you didn’t take this photo?”

Qi Yu shoved the phone right in Duan Yanzheng’s face. “Stop pretending.”

Duan Yanzheng clearly looked guilty but stubbornly defended himself, “I saved this from the photo on the confession wall. Is it wrong to save something I found funny?”

“Then why did you delete it?!”

Qi Yu’s voice grew louder, as if she were about to start a fight with Duan Yanzheng any second.

The advisor tapped the table with an object. “Qi Yu, give him back his phone.”

With a snort, Qi Yu tossed the phone at Duan Yanzheng, who hurriedly caught it.

“Duan Yanzheng, did you really do this or not?”

Qi Yu returned to Xu Xiaoguai’s side. Xu Xiaoguai had been staring intently at the advisor and quietly leaned in to whisper in Qi Yu’s ear, “Xiao Yu, I feel like the advisor is on our side.”
