Dropping Out

After being reprimanded, she stayed at Qinghua University because Lin Xuan and Luo Yuan were both there, and she wanted to get close to them.

Qinghua University is also home to many wealthy students.

Now that her reputation is ruined, if she continues to attend classes, she will only be subjected to those people's contemptuous stares and verbal attacks.

She can’t handle it.

Apart from dropping out, she has no other choice.

Qin Ruoyao was afraid of being seen, so she specifically chose a time when students were in class to come.

Lin Xuan stayed out late with Su Hua last night and was late again.

As soon as he got out of the car, he ran into Qin Ruoyao.

Qin Ruoyao saw Lin Xuan and immediately lowered her head.

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.

It had been a while since they last met, and Qin Ruoyao seemed much more haggard.

Lin Xuan couldn’t be bothered to talk to Qin Ruoyao. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Qin Ruoyao’s voice behind him.

"Lin Xuan, do you feel happy now that I’ve come to this?" Qin Ruoyao bit her lip, her eyes filled with grievance.

She had never imagined that Lin Xuan, who had always been her lapdog, would turn against her.

At first, she thought Lin Xuan's change in attitude was just a trick to win her over.

Lin Xuan gradually shattered her fantasies through his actions.

It wasn’t until later that she realized Lin Xuan no longer loved her.

Not only did he not love her, but he also teamed up with Luo Yuan to crush her.

"Yes, I am happy," Lin Xuan nodded. "I'm quite happy seeing you suffer."

Seeing Qin Ruoyao’s decline brought him immense satisfaction, after all, she was the one who killed him.

"Why? Why did you change after your wedding with that Su Hua?" Qin Ruoyao was hysterical. "You loved me so much before, no matter how I treated you, you still followed me around like a dog."

Ever since the wedding, she has been pondering this question.

She has racked her brain, but still can't figure it out.

"Because I had a dream," Lin Xuan said coldly. "In the dream, I married you and gave you all my love. But you, you cheated on me with Lin Li and even conspired with him to kill me."

"That dream woke me up."

It wasn't just a dream; it was something he had truly experienced.

That’s why, when Su Hua collapsed in front of him, he felt utterly heartbroken. It made him finally understand that Su Hua was the only woman worth loving and protecting for a lifetime.

Besides Su Hua, Lin Xuan will no longer be intimate with any other woman.

Qin Ruoyao's eyes widened abruptly.

This dream… why did she also have it?

Could it be…

No, that couldn’t be real. It was just a dream.

"Lin Xuan, that dream isn’t true," Qin Ruoyao said excitedly. "How could I treat you like I did in the dream? I love you!"

Yes, love.

She still loved Lin Xuan now. Lin Xuan was too dazzling, making her unable to resist chasing after him.

However, her hatred toward Lin Xuan far outweighed her love.

She wanted to pull Lin Xuan down, to make him as miserable as she was.

"Qin Ruoyao, you can only fool yourself with those words," Lin Xuan said with a cold smile. "If I hadn’t stopped being your lapdog, you wouldn’t have given me a shred of kindness."

Qin Ruoyao bit her lip.

Indeed, if Lin Xuan hadn’t changed, she would have kept using him.

But this isn’t her fault; who asked Lin Xuan to not dress well before?

If she had known Lin Xuan was so handsome, she wouldn’t have treated him like that.

"Qin Ruoyao, this is just the beginning. Don’t even think about getting back on your feet in the future," Lin Xuan said with a light laugh.

He would make sure Qin Ruoyao’s life was a complete mess, making her miserable every day.

"Lin Xuan, what else are you planning to do?" Qin Ruoyao stared wide-eyed.

She knew that with Su Hua backing him, Lin Xuan could easily crush her.

If Lin Xuan kept targeting her…

She didn’t dare to imagine.

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and said, "What I’ll do to you, you’ll find out soon enough."

"No, you can’t!" Qin Ruoyao grabbed Lin Xuan’s hand. "Lin Xuan, don’t you remember? I saved you! I pulled you out of the water! If it wasn’t for me, you’d be dead by now."

Lin Xuan frowned and forcefully shook off Qin Ruoyao’s hand.

"You saved me?" Lin Xuan sneered. "Wrong. It was Su Hua who saved me."

"You knew?" Qin Ruoyao’s eyes filled with disbelief.

"Of course, I knew. At that time, Su Hua pulled me out of the pond and then left. You just took the credit, pretending you were the one who saved me."

This was something Qin Ruoyao had revealed to him before she killed him in his previous life.

He never thought that his connection with Su Hua started so early.

At that time, Su Hua had just passed by and pulled him out of the water. She probably didn’t even see what he looked like.

It was laughable that he had been so obsessed with Qin Ruoyao because she knew he was the eldest son of the Lin family and started showing him concern.

In the Lin family, he had never felt love. Qin Ruoyao was the only one who cared about him, so he wanted to hold onto her tightly.

Later, when Qin Ruoyao realized he wasn’t favored in the Lin family, her attitude changed drastically.

Now that Qin Ruoyao had lost her leverage, her face turned pale.

"No, Lin Xuan, you can’t treat me like this," Qin Ruoyao shook her head, muttering to herself.

A group of students heading to their gym class walked past them, and when they saw Qin Ruoyao, they sneered.

"Isn’t that Qin Ruoyao? How dare she show up at school?"

"I didn’t think she’d look so awful. Look at that sallow complexion, those dark circles, that puffy face. Tsk, tsk."

"I wonder who she’s trying to seduce?"

"Tsk, I bet she’s trying to cling to Lin Xuan. Doesn’t she know her place? Does she really think she can compete with Su Hua for a man?"

Hearing these comments, tears welled up in Qin Ruoyao’s eyes.

She pushed her way through the crowd and ran to the dean’s office.

The dean frowned and asked, "Are you really going to drop out?"

"Yes," Qin Ruoyao bit her lip and nodded.

She didn’t want to drop out, but if she did, she would be left with just a high school diploma. Qinghua University is a prestigious institution, but it no longer welcomed her.

The dean knew about Qin Ruoyao’s situation and didn’t ask many questions. He arranged for someone to handle her drop-out procedures.

Qin Ruoyao wandered out of the gates of Qinghua University in a daze.

She turned back and looked at the university’s sign, clenching her fists.

She, Qin Ruoyao, wouldn’t admit defeat so easily.

Even if she left Qinghua University, she would still live well.

As for Lin Xuan, one day Su Hua would tire of him, and then he wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.
