Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

“Huh?” Shen Yue couldn’t understand what was going on around her. “Should we deal with her or not?”

“No, “Lu Xuan smiled. “There is nothing to be cleared up. I just met a girl in a cafe and collided with her. It’s not my fault. Neither is it hers. Moreover, I can’t live this life full of caution where I have to think a hundred times before coming in contact with a female species.”

“Who asked you to be the handsome and sole heir to the business empire?” Shen Yue questioned.

“Sole heir?” Lu Xuan raised his brow. “Did you forget about my sister and brother?” He took a pause before asking, “You are testing me, aren’t you?”

“There are rumours going on, “Shen Yue confessed. “I don’t know who is behind it. I only came across them this morning. I heard the staff talking about how your inheritance is in danger because Gu Shangyan is here.”

Lu Xuan chuckled. “I really miss Teeny now. If she was here, she would have shut their mouths.”

Shen Yue cleared her throat and didn’t say anything. Thankfully, Lu Xuan didn’t find anything wrong with her expression.

“My mom always says that she has three children and she always wanted Shangyan to succeed her but he had no interest in business as his interest lies somewhere else, “Lu Xuan said, clearing her doubts for once and all, “If I was not jealous then, why would I be jealous now? I agree that I’m not a selfless fool. I will never give away anything that I achieved with my hard work but it doesn’t mean I will eye what belonged to my brother and sister.”

“You have to curb the rumours, “Shen Yue said. “Shangyan just returned, it would not be nice if he heard them.”

Lu Xuan heaved out a sigh. “Yue, you are a good girl. But you should know that he has to face them himself so he would grow immune to them. How long would we keep those rumours away from him? In the end, it’s him who had to fight for his family and rights.”

Shen Yue fell silent. She didn’t know what else to say.

Taking a pause he asked, “Can I ask you something?”

Shen Yue nodded her head.

“Were you with Shangyan the night of his joining?” Lu Xuan questioned.

Shen Yue hesitated before saying but then nodded his head. “He was drunk. Dead drunk. And so were you. I dropped you at your penthouse and since I knew the address to his place, I dropped him there. I was helping him go inside when his phone rang and I didn’t know how he took the call and it was his girlfriend facetiming him. I think she misunderstood something.”

Lu Xuan heaved out a sigh. He was right. Something had happened and Yoona had certainly called An Xiulan or why would his sister be so pissed? He also didn’t like to be involved in someone else’s relationship.

“Don’t worry about her, “Lu Xuan said. “She is insecure.”

“Lu Xuan, who is not insecure?” Shen Yue questioned him. “If she doesn’t conquer her insecurity, it will eventually conquer her.”

Taking a deep breath she went on, “You know I have no interest in someone’s relationship but even a fool could see how much he loved her. He left his family and home for her. He gave her seven years and if she still feels insecure about their relationship, I think they need to think about it again.”

Lu Xuan didn’t comment on this matter as he didn’t know how to.

“I will take my leave and inform you if your Spitfire arrives, “Shen Yue said before leaving.

“She is not mine but…. never mind.” Lu Xuan sighed and went back to work.

During the lunch break, Shen Yue entered the cafeteria of the office. She served food for herself and then began looking for an empty place and since everyone was having lunch, she could only find one chair empty next to the window.

As she put her plate on the table, the man sitting in front of her, raised his eyes to find her. “Oh, it’s you.”

Shen Yue gave him a small smile.

He looked at her plate and asked, “Would this fill your stomach?”

Shen Yue blinked and then realised what he said. She didn’t get offended and said in a joking tone, “Do you think it is easy to maintain this figure? Not everyone is beautiful and fit like your supermodel girlfriend.”

“Yoona is Yoona and you are you, “Gu Shangyan smiled. “You don’t have to sacrifice anything to be something you are not.”

Shen Yue fell silent. After a long time, she said, “I couldn’t eat much now. The journey of weight loss was not smooth.”

“All I can say is you were beautiful then and you are beautiful even now, “Gu Shangyan said with a calm face. “It’s not a beautiful face or a body figure that makes you beautiful but your soul. My sister is a good judge of people, she would never befriend someone who is not a good person. So, don’t think too much and chill.”

“About what happened that day…” Gu Shangyan tried to initiate the topic.

“What about it?” Shen Yue calmly said. “There is nothing to think about. You were drunk. You didn’t know what you were doing. And if it makes you feel good, you call me Yoona. So, you didn’t cheat.”

“I’m sorry, Shen Yue, “Gu Shangyan said in a small voice. “I complicated your life with me. I didn’t mean to kiss you …”

Shen Yue bitterly smiled. “Don’t be like this. I know how it feels to have someone break your heart. I have been at the place where you are now… Shangyan, don’t think too much. It was one time and you were drunk. You thought I was Yoona. Let’s not talk about this again.

…

Note: Beware of the guys who talk all the right things, take care of you, and give you their time but not their heart. Such perfect guys are devil’s spawns I swear sent to our life as our Karma. Gu Shangyan is being one.

(5 Dec, 2022) A/N: I know all of you are waiting for updates. I wrapped up ‘Flash Marriage’ soon so I can return here. I have yet to edit the last chapters and mark that book completed.

I am on MGS for Billionaire book and romance carnival is here. I put an entry for that. I’m swamped from all the sides. However, I wanted to write this book too.

I have decided that I would update 30 chapters at least of this month in the whole world but those chapters won’t be regular. I would give 10 chapters 3 times. On batch of 10 chapters can take two days. This is the only solution that I have right now.

Kindly, give your love and support to my Romance Carnival entry. It is a university centred book. I know you all wanted to read College life in this book but you didn’t get. So, try that book and give your feedback.

Rebirth: The Trouble With Hating You! is out now.
