Chapter 7: The Results of the Monthly Exam

  It was a passionate and intense entanglement, until they finally stopped after eleven o'clock.

  Her emotions were so heavy that she didn't even want to move her fingers. He indeed hadn't ravaged her neck, wherever clothes covered up couldn't be seen, he hadn't left any marks, but the places that could be hidden... how pitiful!

  His whole chest was puffed up with pride; I'd have been better off not asking him.

  In a daze, she heard the ringtone of her phone. Yan Qing struggled to open her eyes and saw his head coming down. Did he still want it? She didn't even have the strength to be afraid or dodge anymore.

  He gently kissed her and softly said: "Sleep tight." Then he picked up the phone.

  "What's wrong with you? It's already 11:30, don't you think you should have called earlier? Like before dinner? Forgotten? How were you raised, don't even know basic manners? You said yourself that you'd come over today, but... She's naturally already back home, she doesn't dare disobey me. So you're wrong, she listens to me, you don't listen to me, I'll spoil her more and more, and not spoil you at all. In the future if you want Patek Philippe or Hermès, don't come looking for me to pay! Alright, whatever!"

  Mu Tianyang hung up the phone, turned off the lights and lay down, holding Wanqing in his arms: "It's Tianxue. She did it on purpose, thinking we're busy with work now, trying to disturb us. Hmph, I knew she'd be up to no good, that's why I left three hours early..."

  The next morning, school.

  Just after the morning self-study, the head teacher walked into the classroom with the monthly exam results. Although there was no rush, when the first table of classmates took it over, everyone surrounded him.

  Everyone here has a good birth, but it's not as easy as everyone thinks.

  Can you have a good job and a good future without studying? Wrong! That can only lead to a life of mediocrity, waiting for death, and relying on family wealth. The companies their parents built will need them to take over, not outsiders! So they also place great importance on academic achievement.

  Moreover, their parents often meet at various banquets and compare family fortunes and strength, but can't tell who's better. They have to compare children! Many people are under pressure because of this, while some people receive elite education from a young age, and the word "lose" is not in their dictionary. Everything must be first place.

  So this month's exam results are not taken lightly. Each test is a competition that involves dignity and strength.

  Tian Xue sat in her seat, originally planning to tease Wan Qing a bit since she hadn't seen her for two days. But when the grades came out, she suddenly lost her mood and irritably tapped her fingers on the desk.

  How many points? What ranking? Her scores have always been neck and neck with Du Qian's, often right next to each other in the rankings. Can she finally surpass Du Qian this time?

  "Hiss——"

  The crowd in front of her gasped, turning their heads to stare at her. She was startled - what were they looking at? Had she come in last place? No! Who would care about the last place? Had she come in first place?!

  Tian Xue's emotions were stirred, just as she was about to ask for clarification, when she suddenly realized that they weren't looking at her! She turned around gloomily and saw that in the row of seats behind her, only Wan Qing remained.

  She sprang up quickly and rushed to the front row: "Let me see!"

  I took the score sheet, and surprisingly, the first name was "Ding Wanqing"! Oh my god, she's actually number one? She got first place in her first exam here? Is heaven spoiling her or what?

  Tian Xue took a deep breath, and her slender fingers slid downwards. Once, the three giants in the class - the three handsome guys from the military, political, and business families - always occupied the top three positions, never giving an inch to each other. But today, they all retreated backwards, sitting in the 234th position.

  And Tian Xue...

  Tian Xue didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She was seventh, and if not for Ding Xuan's feelings, she would have been sixth. It was still a pretty good result, and she had thoroughly surpassed tenth-place Du Qian! But she couldn't get excited because... that woman who was being kept by her brother was actually first!
