Chapter 230 - 216: Over Two Months Pregnant
Gu Qili and Hu Jiaojiao both received a call from the school at the same time; Qili had passed her Level 8 exam with the highest score across Australian University.
"Qili, with this certificate, you can continue to pursue your dream. You’re so outstanding, I believe you will surely achieve great academic success." Teacher Shang conveyed the good news to her immediately. There had been so many incidents before the exam that she had been concerned it would affect Qili’s performance. Yet Qili managed to get the highest score in the entire city, which made Teacher Shang feel relieved and believed that the heavens were still fair to her.
"Teacher Shang, did Hu Jiaojiao pass too?"
"Yes, another teacher is notifying her. You two are good friends, and you both did so well, it’s quite rare." Teacher Shang, unaware of their complicated relationship, spoke with genuine joy.
Gu Qili stayed silent, seemingly lost in thought.
"Qili, don’t forget to come to school for your certificate this week." When Teacher Shang didn’t hear a response, she quickly raised her voice and called out her name twice.
Only then did Qili hastily reply: "I got it, Teacher Shang."
After chatting a bit more with Teacher Shang, Qili hung up the phone. Just as she placed her mobile on the coffee table, Mu Shuoqian returned.
It had started to rain outside again. He must have walked too quickly and neglected to bring an umbrella, as a layer of mist clung to his black suit.
Gu Qili hurriedly trotted over, naturally reaching out to brush his shoulders, unable to refrain from scolding him: "Don’t you have an umbrella in your car? Why didn’t you think to use it?"
Mu Shuoqian took off his shoes and said while bending down: "The rain wasn’t heavy; I couldn’t be bothered to open the trunk."
"Dinner is ready, go wash your hands and eat." Gu Qili took his clothes to hang them on a nearby rack, then with persistent concern she advised, "Better take a hot shower first, don’t catch a cold."
