Wang Qin’s heart raced, her very blood seemed to boil.
She genuinely had not expected this!
Right in front of thousands of people, Shen Wanqing had bowed to her, bending at a 90-degree angle, and apologized.
In that moment, all her past suffering seemed trivial. She felt a surge of power course through her, a power urging her to live, to live well and show everyone.
This power was given to her by Gu Anxi.
Wang Qin cried, not tears of despair. She didn’t even know why she was crying; she just clung to Gu Anxi, sobbing uncontrollably...
Mr. Li coughed softly. "Why is this child crying? She’s a grown person now. Alright, alright, don’t cry."
As he spoke, he moved to console her. Really now, how could the esteemed President lose her composure ? What if her clothes get dirty?
But Wang Qin just clung on, refusing to let go. Gu Anxi patted her on the back and then looked up at Mr. Li.
Mr. Li shuddered, a bad premonition washing over him.
Gu Anxi asked softly, "Mr. Li, do you find Student Wang Qin adorable?"
Mr. Li wiped his sweat. "Adorable, of course, she’s adorable."
"What about her becoming your goddaughter, Mr. Li?" Gu Anxi’s voice was soft, but everyone present heard her.
This... this was simply preposterous! Wang Qin, an ordinary student who had caused such a huge scene—how could Mr. Li possibly take her as his goddaughter? Was Gu Anxi getting too full of herself?
Shen Wanqing, in particular, thought Gu Anxi was about to be humiliated. However, Mr. Li didn’t refuse outright. Instead, he looked at Gu Anxi, his heart filled with complex emotions.
Gu Anxi truly was a thoughtful person, remarkably capable for her young age. Since she couldn’t reveal her identity to protect Wang Qin constantly, she was now finding a strong backer for her. If Wang Qin became his goddaughter, who in Qingda University would dare say a single bad word about her? And how would Wang Qin’s wretched stepfather dare to trouble her again?
While Mr. Li was overwhelmed with a myriad of emotions, Gu Anxi spoke softly, her words carrying a strong hint.
Hearing this, what else was there for Mr. Li to hesitate about? He immediately made the decision. "Everyone says my wife is having a baby today. Look, don’t I have a child right here? And grown so big in the blink of an eye! Quite cute too, and so round."
Mr. Li chuckled. Now that he looked at this child, Wang Qin, she seemed cuter and cuter—so round and plump, radiating good fortune.
Instantly, Mr. Li instructed Secretary Zhang beside him, "Go tell my wife that I’ve accepted a goddaughter. Arrange for a couple of banquet tables; don’t be remiss with any of the etiquette."
Secretary Zhang was Mr. Li’s trusted aide. Having witnessed everything from start to finish, he understood perfectly and immediately went to carry out the instructions.
Wang Qin, however, felt as if she were in a dream, unable to believe that Mr. Li was already affectionately calling her ’daughter.’
Nearby, Shen Wanqing’s expression twisted. How could things turn out ?
On what grounds could Wang Qin become Mr. Li’s goddaughter? Where did Gu Anxi get such influence? Could it be...
Shen Wanqing felt it was time to reveal her trump card. She lifted her chin. "Mr. Li, aren’t you going to reconsider? Are you familiar with Gu Anxi’s conduct?"
Gu Anxi smiled faintly. "Is there a problem with my conduct?"
Shen Wanqing lowered her head, pulled out a few photos from her phone, and uploaded them to the campus network for everyone to ’appreciate’... Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
