Chapter 697: This Is My Boyfriend

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xia Qinghan couldn’t keep a smile on her face when Xia Xibei appeared in front of her.

Qiao Haoming, who was by her side, was also surprised.

Xia Xibei was equally surprised, not expecting Qiao Haoming to take the initiative to come to the company to see Xia Qinghan at this time.

After the initial shock, she quickly regained her composure.

She didn’t like Qiao Haoming, and there was hatred between both sides in her past life.

However, this was at work. After all, she and Qiao Haoming “did not know each other,” so there was no need to say anything and allow others to watch the show.

She only wanted to embarrass Xia Qinghan, not let others laugh at her.

She glanced at them, moved her feet, and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xia Qinghan stopped her.

“Xibei, you’re back?” Xia Qinghan squeezed out a smile.

“Hmm.” Xia Xibei stopped and looked at them, then quirked the corners of her mouth. “I came back for my final exams. After all, I am still a student. I have to focus on my grades.”

Without waiting for Xia Qinghan to speak, she continued, “Oh yeah, I forgot to congratulate you for advancing in The Strongest Female Group. Good job!”

When these words came out, Xia Qinghan’s face instantly changed.

When others said such words, they might be simple blessings, but these words coming from Xia Xibei were an absolute mockery!

However, Xia Qinghan still held back the anger in her heart and laughed, “Yeah, I didn’t expect that I would continue to advance either. It seems that I’m pretty lucky.”

“Yeah, you’re quite lucky,” Xia Xibei nodded. “If it wasn’t by luck, you would have been eliminated by now, right?”

This comment caused Xia Qinghan’s smile to freeze and her heart to be stabbed.

Everyone was talking about her “good luck,” but the words were not very nice.

“Hanhan, this is the Xia Xibei you were talking about, right?”

Seeing Xia Qinghan defeated, Qiao Haoming stood up for her.

“Oh, yes. Brother Haoming, she is Xia Xibei.” Xia Qinghan’s face suddenly looked better, with a bit of hidden cheerfulness. “Xibei, let me introduce you guys. His name is Qiao Haoming, the youngest son of Qiao’s Group.”

“Qiao’s Group?” Xia Xibei raised her eyebrows, as if she was really meeting Qiao Haoming for the first time.

“Yeah.” The smile on Xia Qinghan’s mouth was smug and proud. “He’s also my boyfriend.”

Of course, she knew that there was something going on between Xia Xibei and Qiao Yanjue, but the problem was, with Xia Xibei’s status, it was impossible for anything to survive between the two of them.

The one that Qiao Yanjue would marry would definitely be a young lady who was a good match for him; it would be impossible for someone with Xia Xibei’s background to marry him.

At most, she could become Qiao Yanjue’s mistress.

Status and family background were insurmountable difficulties for the two of them.

That was why Xia Qinghan was so happy.

So what if Xia Xibei was powerful? Could she marry into the Qiao family?

“Boyfriend?” Xia Xibei raised her eyebrows and teasingly looked at Qiao Haoming. “Mr. Qiao, isn’t your girlfriend another beautiful woman?”

The smugness on Xia Qinghan’s face stiffened slightly, and she swiftly looked at Qiao Haoming with a question in her eyes.

“Brother Haoming…”

Qiao Haoming, however, was calm. He knew that Xia Xibei would definitely not have anything nice to say.

“Miss Xia Xibei, please be careful with your words.” He showed a hint of displeasure in his eyes. “We are meeting for the first time, so don’t talk nonsense.”

“First time meeting?” Xia Xibei laughed. “Oh yes, that would be my mistake then.. The man who passionately kissed a beautiful woman in the hotel before was definitely not you.”
