“Tao, here’s a huge gossip! There’s a talk this afternoon, right? Guess which big shot is coming to our school?”

Zhao Xinmei looked secretive. Gu Tong did not have the mood to guess and with food in her mouth, she blurted out, “Who? Could it be Li Hengzhi?”

Qian Tao gave her a stare.

Tong Tong did that on purpose—otherwise why would she mention Li Hengzhi all of a sudden?

Evil Tong Tong, she was obviously teasing her that she tried to take advantage of him but in the end suffered loss!

Just then, Zhao Xinmei exclaimed, “Wow, Tong Tong! I thought only I heard the news. It looks like you’ve heard about it too!”

She choked.

If not for Gu Tong’s timely gesture of covering her own mouth, she would have spit out her food all over the table.

Just like Qian Tao, her eyes widened. She patted her chest and swallowed the food in her mouth before asking Zhao Xinmei, “Really? Is it really him?”

“Huh?

“It was my blind guess…”

“Then you are really good at guessing! An accurate blind guess!” Looking at the girls around her with wide eyes, Zhao Xinmei was satisfied with herself for knowing this before the others. “I knew all of you would be taken aback when I told you his name.”

“Can we not be taken aback? We could see Li Hengzhi in person. Isn’t he known for not attending this kind of functions? Our headmaster is really someone to be able to convince the big boss to come.”

“Ah, I’m too excited! Xinmei, lend me your makeup set, I didn’t put any makeup on today.”

“Alright, stop being smug! Do you think he would see you?”

“Just in case! Just in case we meet by chance…”

While the girls were busy discussing, Qian Tao was dumbfounded.

“Tao?” Zhao Xinmei waved her hand in front of her, “What happened to you? I didn’t know that you were interested in Li Hengzhi too? I thought not many people could gain Miss Qian’s liking.”

“Haha…” Qian Tao gave out a laugh.

She couldn’t even cry.

Wasn’t he going too far to come personally for her?

Didn’t he say to ask Yan Hai to pick her up?

Then, very quickly, she told herself that he was here to give a talk and not for her.

Gosh! Her thoughts shifted.

No matter what his purpose was, she had to follow him for registration of marriage today!

Only Gu Tong understood her messed up feelings.

After the group’s dismissal, Gu Tong accompanied Qian Tao for a stroll on a trail and advised her, “Tao, now that you have reached this point, don’t feel bad anymore and just succumb to fate! Who asked you to be so courageous to plot against Li Hengzhi? You are a little rabbit, how could you win the thousand-year skilled old fox?”

“Furthermore, when it comes to looks, family background and status, Li Hengzhi is the best choice. If you marry him, you won’t lose anything!” Gu Tong said laughingly while nudging her.

Qian Tao was quite at a loss to reply because this consequence came along with her previous action—who was she to blame?

When she found that Qian Tao was not happy, there was a glint in her eye as she said with a happy smile, “Don’t be too pessimistic, I think there’s another possibility.”

“What?”

“Li Hengzhi is gay! He’s marrying you so he can deal with his family!”

“Don’t scare me!”

It would be scarier if he were gay.

“He is definitely not!” Qian Tao affirmed.
