My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 222: New Face!!

The next day-

In the large classroom of the business department of Xin Lin university, most of the students were already seated and were waiting for the professor to start the first class of the day while some were still on the way.

It was 8:30 in the morning and everyone was already exhausted thinking about the number of the classes that they have to attend after this one.

Xingren, who was carrying the books in one hand and had her bag on the other shoulder entered the class with two of her friends and found a seat in the first row. The classes were resuming after two weeks of a break since the examination and it was not easy for her to come and face everyone since she failed to secure the top place.

” Xingren, you must be disappointed, right? You studied so much for the exam and yet...” Her friend who was sitting beside her, glanced at her and asked in a worry.

A frown appeared on Xingren’s forehead upon hearing about the exam. She pursed her lips and let out a deep breath before turning up to her and smiled, ” Who said I am disappointed? It was just an exam, moreover, I earned my scores, unlike someone else.”

Her friend, Lai Zi stared at her in confusion, wondering what did she mean by unlike someone else?

.....

Before she could try to decipher the purpose behind her words, a familiar-handsome face walked in to brighten their already exhausting day.

Xingren raised her brows seeing Aurora walking in while holding the books in one hand. He was in their department but their senior. So, it was a bit surprising that he was attending the first-year class of the business department rather than taking his own classes.

” Brother Ye Yijun, how come you’re here?” Xingren asked while using his name rather than using his pseudonym Aurora.

....

Ye Yijun, who just entered the class glanced at Xingren and took a seat behind her before answering her, ” Ah, I couldn’t take Professor Jie’s classes last semester. So I especially got her permission to sit for her classes.” He responded with a polite yet distancing smile.

He knows Xingren since she was the campus belle of the Business department and was popular for her innocent and pure looks. Although he doesn’t know her personally, she has talked to him a few times and he always responds since he doesn’t want to come out as rude.

In this way, he can say that he somewhat knows her.

They’re in the same department afterall. However, her calling him by his name was a little strange, they were not close enough for her to call him by his name but he didn’t say anything and just smiled awkwardly.

....

Xingren glanced at the other girls in the class who were looking at her in envy for calling Aurora by his name and smirked mildly, feeling gleeful seeing their reactions. He was the college’s crown prince who rules every girl’s hearts with his refreshing and charming looks while his gentle and sweet demeanor despite his heavenly looks makes him unique from the other men in the department.

Aurora pursed his lips seeing Xingren who turned around and was looking at him, waiting for him to say something else. ” Well....Congratulations. I heard you got second place in the exam.”

“....”

Xingren’s smile dimmed when he brought out the topic of exams. She laughed awkwardly and said, ” Thanks.”

Lai Zi looked at Aurora and asked curiously, ” Senior, do you know anything about the girl who topped the exam? What was her name...Ah, Xu Nuan. I heard she is also from the business department.”

” Really?” He asked in wonder, ” I never heard this name before. Are you sure the girl belongs to our department?”

” Yes. I was in the staff room a while ago and heard from one of the teachers sitting there. They said that the girl belongs to the Business department and not only she topped the exam, but she almost got the full marks.”

“Almost full score? What do you mean?” He asked in curiosity.

” The girl would have gotten the full marks if she has marked the answers properly. However, the teacher has to cut 2 marks because she didn’t mark the circle properly and it couldn’t be counted, otherwise, she would have gotten full marks.” she told him with widen eyes.

Xingren, who was sitting beside her, stiffened upon hearing her words. Xu Nuan...Xu Nuan. Business department? How can she choose the same department as her? Does she have no shame and conscience? After taking her position, how dare she take admission to her department.

‘ We might not have the same classes....’ she took a deep breath and calmed her heart thinking about the same.

As they were talking, a woman who was in her mid-30s entered the class and stood on the podium, and placed the books on the table. Seeing that the professor has arrived, Lai Zu also turned around and glanced at Xingren whose complexion didn’t look good.

” Xingren, what’s wrong? Do you feel sick?” she leaned in and whispered.

Xingren shook her head and said, ” It’s nothing.”

–

The professor glanced at students and smiled, ” So...do we have full strength today? Or someone is on leave?” she asked with a smile while opening her register to take everyone’s attendance.

Before calling out everyone’s names, she glanced at the door and frowned, ” Why are you standing there? Come in and sit.”

Everyone glanced towards the door in curiosity and wondered to whom Ms. Jie was talking. However, everyone’s eyes widened to see a new girl walking in through the door while holding the books in one hand while carrying the tote bag on the other shoulder.

The girl was wearing a black cardigan crop top, paired with baggy blue jeans and sneakers. Her hair was left loose and she was wearing a mild cherry tinted lipstick and a liner that was highlighting her eyes.

Her casual and neat dressing style left the guys looking at her in a daze, while the girls were envious of her since she was looking heavenly beautiful even with barely any makeup. Her fair-milky skin was glowing against the black cardigan top that she was wearing.

While the new face piqued everyone’s interest, Xingren who was sitting in the first row, her body stiffened seeing the person who was standing at the entrance and was observing everyone carefully.

” Xu Nuan...?” Xingren whispered in shock seeing the person whom she despises the most was standing in front of her while getting everyone’s attention.
