Chapter 440: Chapter 440

Yan Chuhua asked, "Didn’t you see the school forum?"

"No," Yan Qianyi closed her eyes and turned over, "What happened in the forum?"

"There was a post, inside which were photos of Qu Yang buying you milk tea and giving you flowers. They said now that Yan Ruyi is gone, you and Qu Yang have rekindled your old love."

Hearing this, Yan Qianyi opened her eyes, "Are the photos clear?"

"Of course, from the photos where you are smiling so happily, I even thought you and Qu Yang had made up, but then I thought it was wrong; after all, you had already moved to Teacher Mu’s place."

"Yes, I ran into him on the road today; he was being really persistent."

"Then do you want to come out and explain?"

Yan Qianyi was dismissive, "What’s there to explain?"

"Last time the scandal about you and Xia Ziyu broke out, you didn’t explain either. Now, the comments under the post are really nasty, saying your private life is messy, it seems like someone is intentionally instigating this."

"Don’t bother with those rumors."

"Are you not worried that Teacher Mu will see and misunderstand, getting angry?"

Yan Qianyi laughed, "Don’t worry, he doesn’t bother checking the school’s forum."

"It’s okay, I’m a bit sleepy, going to take a nap, let’s not talk about it anymore."

Yan Qianyi hung up the call.

Right now, she just wanted to sleep and not bother about these insignificant matters.

But Yan Chuhua was even more anxious than her and immediately sent the photos.

Yan Qianyi glanced at the photos.

Originally, it was just a casual glance, but suddenly she felt something was off.

Just from the scene depicted in the photos, even she, the person involved, felt that she and Qu Yang looked like a loving couple.

Qu Yang considerately placed the milk tea in her hands to warm them.

And when he appeared at the barbecue restaurant with a bouquet, she raised her head with a smile.

She immediately sent Yan Chuhua a message: [Are there only these two photos?]

Yan Chuhua: [Yes, just these two!]

Yan Qianyi gradually furrowed her brows.

The student who took the photos must have known that she and Qu Yang hadn’t made up since the milk tea ended up on the ground at the time.

Yet, only these two photos were posted.

It must have been specifically chosen from a bunch of photos and then posted on the school forum to create something out of nothing.

Why would someone do this?

Just because they disliked her?

Just by coincidence, to run into a student who disliked her on the street?

Or maybe... someone had been following her, trying to catch her in a mishap?

But if someone had been following her, it was impossible for her not to notice.

Suddenly remembering, last time Ning Nuan had her classmates take photos for a forum activity, Yan Qianyi felt even more that today’s incident was planned and premeditated.

If it was just rumors, she could ignore them; after all, she didn’t mind how others viewed her.

But if someone intentionally schemed against her, she couldn’t just sit back and ignore it.

At this thought, she made a voice call to Xia Ziyu.

After a long wait, Xia Ziyu finally answered.

His voice sounded lifeless and sarcastic, "Yo, rekindling with the old lover but still remembering me?"

"What sort of nonsense are you talking?"

"Today’s photos of you and Qu Yang on a date, I’ve seen them all," Xia Ziyu cursed, "That Qu Yang is trash! I really don’t understand how you think, rather being with trash than being with me."

"You believe it just from two photos?"

"Of course not, don’t you know, I’ve already moved into Mu Yunlie’s place, how could I be that kind of person? Even if I were fickle, I wouldn’t be interested in someone like Qu Yang!"

"Really?" Xia Ziyu’s voice sounded as if he’d been revitalized, "So what actually happened?"

"I suspect someone deliberately set this up."

"But I’ve already checked those two photos; they haven’t been edited."

"Isn’t it easy to pick a few ambiguous angles out of many photos?"

"Could you help me check the ID of the person who posted that message? I want to know who it is."

"Thanks, I’ll transfer the money to you in a bit."

Before Xia Ziyu finished speaking, Yan Qianyi hung up the call and transferred him one hundred thousand Star Coins.

In the past, every time he helped her, even the smallest favor had to start with six figures.

Although now he no longer quibbled over money with her.

She also realized his true status did not lack money.

But since she discovered that his feelings for her had gone beyond friendship, she had to be even more clear-cut with him.

After transferring the money, Yan Qianyi went back to bed to sleep.

Since getting pregnant, she had tried to maintain a peaceful mindset to avoid large emotional fluctuations that could affect the baby in her womb.

So, issues one really didn’t upset her anymore.

Yan Qianyi slept for two hours, and she might have slept much longer if she hadn’t woken up thirsty.

The water in her room was all gone.

She put on a robe and walked downstairs.

When she reached the staircase, she saw the bunch of red roses.

The roses had been placed in a vase by Aunt Xue and set on the living room table, immediately catching the eye.

Suddenly reminded of the school forum issue, Yan Qianyi frowned, feeling that the flowers were particularly glaring.

At that moment, Mu Yunlie unexpectedly appeared.

He strode to the table and threw the roses along with the vase into the trash can.

Aunt Xue, who had just brought out a plate of sliced fruit, saw Mu Yunlie’s action.

"Son-in-law, why did you throw away the flowers? Weren’t those from Miss?"

Aunt Xue hurriedly put down the fruit plate and approached to pick them up.

"Don’t pick it up!" Mu Yunlie commanded in a low voice.

Aunt Xue, frightened, retracted her hand and cautiously looked at Mu Yunlie, "Did you and Miss have a fight again?"

"No, the flowers just aren’t pretty."

Aunt Xue sighed in relief, glad there had been no fight.

She reluctantly looked at the flowers in the trash can, "The flowers are still fresh, and the vase is nice too; it’s such a waste to throw them out."

"No need, we’ll buy new ones tomorrow."

After saying this, Mu Yunlie turned around and saw Yan Qianyi standing at the top of the stairs.

Their eyes met, and Yan Qianyi’s heart tightened.

Ah Lie’s actions seemed to indicate he knew about the rumors on the school forum.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suddenly thrown away the flowers in a displeased manner, not sparing even the vase.

Before, he clearly liked the flowers "she sent."

But he hadn’t been to school anymore; how could he still know about things on the school forum?

Could it be Ning Nuan who told him?

Mu Yunlie, frowning slightly, walked straight toward Yan Qianyi.

Yan Qianyi suddenly tensed, quickly organizing her thoughts internally, contemplating how to explain so that he would believe her?
