Chapter 21 - 21 21 Showing One's Edge (2)
21: Chapter 21 Showing One’s Edge (2) 21: Chapter 21 Showing One’s Edge (2) On Monday morning, their class only had one lesson.
After class, the trio slung their bags over their shoulders and headed for the dormitory.
All three of them were great beauties, especially An Yiqing who was a surefire head-turner.
Along the way, the male students’ eyes nearly popped out of their heads – what a sight, beautiful scenery paired with beauties!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Before yesterday, although An Yiqing was known as the Xuan University Campus Beauty, she hadn’t been widely recognized due to her low profile.
However, after her sudden fame on the forum yesterday, she became the goddess in the hearts of Xuan University’s male students.
During the short ten-plus minute walk back to the dormitory, at least eight boys appeared, using dropped books, phones, and bags as excuses to catch the goddess’s attention.
Along the way, An Yiqing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, while Gu Tingting and Ruan Xue laughed so hard their stomachs hurt.
At the foot of the dormitory building, Duan Tang’s graceful figure stood in the sunlight, hands behind his back, his amiable smile imbued with an imposing aura of authority that could not be ignored.
Ruan Hao stood silently behind Duan Tang, and in the car beside him, Old Master Duan sat steadily in his seat, accompanied by the family doctor.
As soon as An Yiqing and her friends entered their line of sight, Duan Tang noticed her right away.
An Yiqing’s ethereal grace was an eye-catcher, and Duan Tang believed he could spot her instantly even in a vast crowd.
She was even more stunning than in her photos, and what drew people to her the most were those clear, pure eyes, brimming with elegant charm and not a trace of impurity.
“Miss An Yiqing,” unlike Gu Yelin’s deep and magnetic voice, Duan Tang’s voice was gentle, ethereal as mist-wrapped mountains, elusive and unfathomable.
Hearing this, An Yiqing turned her head and felt as if she were gazing at an exquisite ink painting.
The man in the painting slowly approached her, his smile refined: “Hello, I am a relative of the old man you saved yesterday.
I’m extremely grateful to you for saving my grandfather’s life.” Sincerity filled his kind eyes.
Perhaps his approach had underlying motives, but his gratitude was heartfelt; he was truly thankful for her saving his grandfather.
“Brother?
Duan Tang, brother?
Why are you guys here?!” Ruan Xue, standing behind An Yiqing, was surprised to see Duan Tang and Ruan Hao, her brows arching dramatically.
An Yiqing suddenly realized; the man behind her was the brother Ruan Xue often mentioned – Ruan Hao.
Ruan Xue hadn’t hidden her identity, and An Yiqing was well aware of Ruan Hao’s status within the Muyun Society.
With that, the identity of the man in white in front of her was glaringly obvious.
“Family Head Duan need not give thanks; saving lives is a doctor’s duty.”
Duan Tang wasn’t surprised that An Yiqing had recognized his identity, given this woman’s intelligence.
He hadn’t intended to hide it.
“Hahaha!
Young lady!
The old man has to thank you for saving his life!” A hearty and rugged laugh sounded, and Old Master Duan, escorted by the doctor, walked over with stable steps.
Seeing this, Duan Tang quickly walked over to support Old Master Duan, taking care not to neglect introducing him: “This is my grandfather, Duan Yuntian.”
An Yiqing naturally recognized the elder before her.
Seeing that he looked much better than yesterday, she felt reassured.
The people she saved had come back from Death’s door, and even Yama Raja would have to give her some face – with her expertise in the Medical Arts, she wouldn’t disgrace herself.
“You overstate matters, Old Master Duan.
Saving lives is a doctor’s duty,” An Yiqing responded with a smile.
“Young lady, don’t be modest!
This old man knows his own body.
Without you, I would have been keeping company with Yama Raja long ago.”
At these words, An Yiqing smiled.
It was said that the former Family Head of the Muyun Society, Duan Yuntian, was revered for his benevolence, and now it seemed the rumors were true.
“It appears that unless I take credit for this deed, Old Master Duan certainly won’t let me off the hook,” An Yiqing joked.
Duan Tang raised an eyebrow, amused.
There weren’t many who dared to joke with his grandfather, and none as young as she.
This girl was indeed bold.
Caught off guard by her remark, Old Master Duan burst into laughter, his robust laughter befitting of someone who had not just cheated death.
“Miss An, my grandfather and I will be hosting a thank-you banquet this Wednesday evening at Penglai Residence.
Please be sure to attend,” Duan Tang said, revealing the purpose of their visit.
“Right, right!
Young lady, you must come.
This old man is inviting you; you wouldn’t refuse to give face, right?” Old Master Duan glared, seemingly threatening but with a hint of mirth in his eyes.
Seeing this, An Yiqing let out a light chuckle and accepted the invitation.
Such an opportunity she would not refuse, as making more connections could be advantageous in the future, and besides, she needed their help with something.
“Then I will send someone to pick up Miss An on Wednesday evening.
We’ll take our leave for today.” Duan Tang nodded with a smile, bidding farewell gracefully, every gesture exuding an air of nobility.
An Yiqing watched the luxury car drive away, a beautiful smile dancing in her lovely eyes.
Her journey was finally beginning!
