The White Lotus Villainess Is Obsessed With Me - Chapter 50

Wei Qi made the call, feeling confident and relaxed as he waited for Wang Sasa to show up. But as the time for next Sunday approached and Wang Sasa still showed no signs of moving, not even reaching out to him with a call or a text, Wei Qi grew anxious.

“You think, what if she really doesn’t come the day after tomorrow? Should I just go abroad?”

“Then go ahead!” Dongzi encouraged. “Don’t worry, Wang Shasha used to care about you so much, she’ll definitely come to see you. Even if she doesn’t come, the end result will be good.” But judging by what he observed, Dongzi felt Wei Qi might be in trouble.

After all, if Wang Sasa was this cold-hearted, letting Wei Qi lose hope and give up might not be such a bad ending!

Dongzi patted Wei Qi’s shoulder, trying to comfort him. “Stop thinking so much today. Pack your bags, and we’ll meet at the airport the day after tomorrow.”

Such a big event as transferring abroad couldn’t be kept a secret, and Wei Qi didn’t want to hide it anyway. Wang Sasa learned about it on Friday. The senior class six students discussed it heatedly, with some even coming up to her to ask what was going on.

Wang Sasa, puzzled herself, gave a vague reason: “Maybe he thinks the teaching quality in the country is poor and wants a change of environment?”

“Is that so? But it’s happening so suddenly. We’re about to start the second semester of our senior year, aren’t we?”

Wang Sasa simply smiled in response. She wasn’t surprised by anything Wei Qi did, and if he chose to go abroad, it didn’t bother her. She was quite pleased with it.

Wang Sasa took Tan Yixuan’s hand and gently patted it. “Now you can rest assured, right? He won’t be appearing in front of us anymore.”

Tan Yixuan gave a faint smile and didn’t say anything. Wei Qi no longer posed a threat to her. She dared to deal with a fallen foe without worrying that Wang Sasa might notice, precisely because of this. She might have been a bit worried that Wang Sasa might rekindle things with Wei Qi, but that was just due to the anxieties of loving someone.

Her previous anger was merely due to Wei Qi’s persistent and clueless advances despite knowing Wang Sasa didn’t like him. For someone lacking self-awareness, she had no qualms about tearing off the pretense and using a few tricks to make him back off.

Now that Wei Qi was going abroad, she was more than satisfied.

Tan Yixuan curved her lips into a smile, a trace of mockery flickering in her eyes. When she looked up again, the malice had completely disappeared. She furrowed her brows, her expression hesitant. “Aren’t you going to look for him? With him going abroad, who knows when he’ll come back…”

Wang Sasa, worried that Tan Yixuan might misunderstand her feelings for Wei Qi, quickly said, “From what I know about Wei Qi, he might just be bluffing! Just wait and see. He’s the type to act up and maybe come back in a few days.”

Tan Yixuan pondered for a moment. “You seem to know him quite well. After all, you two were childhood friends.”

Wang Sasa, having learned her lesson, firmly denied it: “No! I don’t know him at all! How could I be considered childhood friends with Wei Qi? I’ve only recently awakened my second personality, and I haven’t even spent a full day with him!”

Seeing Tan Yixuan’s steady gaze, her beautiful, clear black eyes, Wang Sasa, suppressing her conscience, held her hand and gently spoke, “Yixuan, stop doubting my feelings for you. Whether it’s Wei Qi or anyone else, no one can compare to you in my heart. I have already fallen deeply in love with you!”

At first, Wang Sasa found expressing her feelings quite embarrassing. After days of practice, she could now say such shameless things without blushing or feeling nervous, even in front of the whole class.

The classmates in Class 6 of the second year, from initial shock and confusion, gradually became accustomed to it. Although they didn’t know what was going on between the two, they chose to ignore it.

Wang Sasa’s bold actions led to some gossip in class.

Two girls dating? Especially Wang Sasa and Tan Yixuan? Same-sex couples weren’t unheard of, but seeing Wang Sasa so openly flaunt it was rare. Some people might not like Wang Sasa’s behavior but were too afraid to report it to the teacher. They could only silently observe and gossip among themselves.

Noticing the curious and intense gazes around them, Wang Sasa forced a smile and said to Tan Yixuan, “Let’s focus on where to go this Sunday.”

Wang Sasa knew her actions were risky, but since she had rejected Tan Yixuan’s intimacy, she had to compensate in other ways. Dating a girl wasn’t a stain on her record. Before entering the book world, the social atmosphere was quite open, and same-sex couples weren’t looked down upon.

Wang Sasa thought she didn’t like girls, but more accurately, she didn’t like boys either. Before entering the book world, she wasn’t interested in romance at all, so she never considered the gender of her partner.

Her current concern was not being able to gauge Tan Yixuan’s feelings. Sometimes, despite Tan Yixuan’s happy expression, Wang Sasa sensed she wasn’t truly content. But for now, Tan Yixuan seemed happy, or so Wang Sasa hoped.

Looking directly at Tan Yixuan, she saw her eyes curved into crescent shapes, clearly happy, and couldn’t help but smile. They chatted for a bit, and Tan Yixuan suddenly remembered and reminded her, “Let’s not talk about Wei Qi. Didn’t you mention you have other plans for Sunday?”

Wang Sasa was momentarily stunned, then remembered the celebration party. Since she had already agreed to attend, it wasn’t good to back out now, so she apologized to Tan Yixuan.

The celebration banquet was organized primarily by the Zhang and Wang families, with other minor shareholders also invited.

The banquet was held at a renowned five-star hotel in the city. By the time Wang Sasa arrived, the event had already been underway for a while.

The hall was bustling with lively activity and clinking glasses.

Wang Sasa squinted slightly to locate her parents.

When Father Wang and Mother Wang saw Wang Sasa approaching, they couldn’t help but scold her affectionately, “I told you to leave earlier, but you didn’t listen. Look, you’re late!”

Wang Sasa smiled as she linked arms with her mother, unbothered, “I’m not an important person, so what if I’m a little late? Anyway, all these uncles and aunts are the real contributors to the company!”

Her words were exceptionally soothing. As the eldest daughter of the Wang family, Wang Sasa didn’t need to flatter anyone, but everyone likes hearing nice things, so she was happy to give her parents some face.

Father Wang beamed and introduced her to his business partners, “Come, come, meet your uncles and aunts.”

Among them were Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, whom she had met before, and their son, Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a neatly tailored suit, maintained his elite appearance. He gave Wang Sasa a slight nod, “Miss Wang.”

Wang Sasa glanced at him and nodded in return.

Aunt Zhang looked around with apparent delight, “You young people seem to have a lot in common.” She turned to her son, “Your junior just arrived. Why don’t you show her around?”

Oh, here we go again.

They exchanged a look, both recalling their previous matchmaking experience with some reluctance.

Zhang Hong adjusted his glasses, slightly hesitant.

Wang Sasa was impatient with the small talk. Since Zhang Hong was about her age, she reluctantly agreed with a nod.

Zhang Hong took Wang Sasa for a walk around the hotel’s garden. They walked in silence, and Zhang Hong glanced at her, adjusting his glasses as he said, “I’m sorry if this makes you uncomfortable.”

Wang Sasa didn’t expect this and was momentarily surprised. She twirled her hair, hands behind her back, and said nonchalantly, “It’s fine, I’m used to it.”

Such situations were as common as drinking water for kids from families like theirs, both before and after entering the book world. Wang Sasa didn’t mind but wasn’t going to follow her parents’ plans.

Zhang Hong stole a glance at her, noticing her indifferent expression, and felt a bit stunned. When she looked his way, he became flustered for a moment, adjusting his glasses and changing the topic, “Do you often encounter such things? I’m not used to it…”

“Policies come from above, and countermeasures come from below. Don’t you understand?” Wang Sasa tilted her head, raising an eyebrow, “I didn’t expect you to be so honest.”

Zhang Hong couldn’t help but push his glasses up again, his delicate face turning red. Fortunately, his height allowed him to turn away perfectly, hiding his emotions from Wang Sasa.

After a brief stroll and some small talk, Zhang Hong was called away by colleagues.

The banquet went on until nine o’clock. Wang Sasa had arrived around seven. Leaving too early was inappropriate, but staying past nine was not something she had the patience for. Her valuable time was reserved for novels and comics. She hadn’t even contacted Tan Yixuan!

Frowning at her watch, Wang Sasa decided it was time to leave and mentioned to her mother that she wanted to go home early. Before her mother could respond, Aunt Zhang grabbed Wang Sasa’s hand and said, “It’s not safe for a young lady like you to go home alone. Let Zhang Hong drive you back…”

Wang Sasa was about to mention that she had a driver, but seeing Aunt Zhang’s firm grip, she didn’t want to waste time and silently agreed.

In the car, Wang Sasa and Zhang Hong were quiet. She looked out the window, thinking about the novels and comics she planned to read. Suddenly, Zhang Hong’s voice broke the silence, “You seem different from the rumors.”

Wang Sasa turned her head with a hint of curiosity, “How so? What do the rumors say about me?” She guessed they probably portrayed her as a delinquent girl crazily in love with Wei Qi.

Zhang Hong pursed his lips, glancing at her, and then quickly turned his attention back to the road, “At least I don’t dislike you…”

Hearing this, Wang Sasa thought of replying with something like, “Who are you? Why should I care if you dislike me?” But since Zhang Hong hadn’t done anything to offend her, she just smirked and responded with a simple, “Oh.”

Noticing her low spirits, Zhang Hong was unsure what had upset her and felt a bit deflated. The atmosphere was awkward until Wang Sasa’s phone suddenly rang. She checked the screen and saw it was Tan Yixuan.

Wang Sasa answered the call, “Yixuan, what’s up?”

Tan Yixuan, carrying a bag of snacks, was walking through her neighborhood. Remembering how Wang Sasa had seriously handed her the apartment keys earlier, she smiled sweetly, “Are you home yet?”

Wang Sasa glanced at the street scene and replied, “Not yet, but I’m almost there.”

Hearing this, Zhang Hong, who was driving, asked instinctively, “A classmate?”

The car was playing soft classical music at a low volume, which Zhang Hong’s sharp ears caught.

Wang Sasa quickly covered the microphone and rolled her eyes at him.

Tan Yixuan, hearing a deep male voice on the line, immediately frowned. Her face became expressionless, but her voice was soft as she carefully asked, “Is there anyone with you? Is it inconvenient to talk now?”

Wang Sasa, worried that Tan Yixuan might overthink, quickly denied, “No one. You must be referring to the driver. I’m just taking a cab.”
