The two girls were the kind of people who liked backstabbing people. In a small group, they would fully take on the role of the host willingly and derive some inner pleasure when they managed to demean others to the extreme. However, in reality, especially in front of said person, these people would never dare to confront them.
They might look shy, kind, and harmless, but when they turned around, they could demean you to death.
Even though Nangong Nuannuan disliked people like these, it would be degrading for her to argue with them.
Seeing that they were too ashamed to show their faces and that the other students were giving them weird looks, Nuannuan decided to let them off.
However, when Xia Anchen heard the two of them talking about the goddess he planned to pursue, he could not help but say, “Li Youran, Xiang Liwen, aren’t you going too far by talking about your classmate like that?”
In their hearts, Li Youran and Xiang Liwen had already regarded Xia Anchen as their heartthrob. The only reason why they bonded as good friends was that they mainly exchanged conversations on who they had to go through to speak to Xia Anchen today, as well as Xia Anchen’s responses. From his responses, they could guess what kind of feelings Xia Anchen had for them. Their friendship was built on this slowly accumulating foundation.
In the end, all the conjectures and fairy tales that they had come up with over the past month disintegrated.
This kind of embarrassment was not worse than failing the National College Entrance Examination.
Their originally blushing faces instantly turned pale before exploding with redness that bordered on purple.
Seeing that the two of them were about to cry, Xia Anchen stopped telling them off. He immediately turned his attention to Nuannuan and said with a bright smile, “Nuannuan, sorry to trouble you.”
Nuannuan glanced at Xia Anchen and smiled. “It’s nothing. However, you’d better call me Zhong Nuannuan or Ms. Zhong. Otherwise, if you address me so intimately, everyone might actually think that I’m here to lick your boots. I won’t be able to handle this kind of misunderstanding. After all, I already have a boyfriend.”
Hearing that Nangong Nuannuan already had a boyfriend, the other two girls heaved a sigh of relief. However, Xia Anchen’s eyes darkened.
Boyfriend?
How could his goddess have a boyfriend?
“That’s enough. Let’s head to the hotel first.”
Guo Zhennan interrupted the rising awkwardness and summoned the ten students to leave together.
On the bus, Xia Anchen sent a text message to his father’s assistant, asking him to find out about Zhong Nuannuan’s boyfriend.
When they arrived at the hotel, the students took their luggage and waited for the teacher to check into the hotel.
Since they were representing their country, the students received the best treatment and stayed in a five-star hotel.
Of the ten students participating in the competition, six of them had gone overseas for the first time, and some of them had never stayed in a five-star hotel.
Everyone erupted into an agitated discussion on how beautiful this hotel was.
On the other hand, Nangong Nuannuan stared at the two gigantic words on the hotel’s signboard—Imperial Phoenix. This was one of those moments when she finally felt how far her businesses had expanded. She did not expect that they branched out here.
Xia Anchen walked into the hotel lobby and muttered, “We’re actually staying in Imperial Phoenix Hotel!”
One of the students immediately asked, “Young Master An, is this five-star hotel great? Is it very famous?”
Xia Anchen nodded. “Imperial Phoenix is one of the top ten financial groups in the world. Therefore, the hotels under their brand are definitely top-notch.”
