Chapter 67: Shen Anyu Appears! Qi Fan Fails to Show Off, and Liu Mi Is Happy!
Liu Mi was in a foul mood today.
Ever since last night's banquet, a persistent cloud had hung over her head. Shen Anyu's gaze had barely grazed her, his attention seemingly captured entirely by her distant, married cousin, Liu Qingyue.
This indifference gnawed at Liu Mi's usually unshakeable confidence. Was she losing her touch? Was a married woman truly more attractive than the vibrant, untouched flower of Modu University?
Originally, Liu Mi had been brimming with confidence. She believed her beauty was a weapon, sharp enough to mesmerize anyone—even Shen Anyu, the elusive Young Master of the Yanxia Shen Family. She imagined him losing his bearings, falling at her feet like all the others.
However, reality had been a cold splash of water.
From last night until now, Liu Mi had been melancholic, lacking her usual spark. She hadn't even bothered with her usual elaborate makeup routine. Just a light touch of powder, a simple white slim-fit Prada dress that hugged her curves modestly, an Hermes bag slung carelessly over her arm, white stockings, and small black shoes.
She looked plain, almost exceptionally pure.
Yet, she underestimated her own allure. Her captivating fox-like eyes, her enchanting face, and the curvaceous, proud figure beneath the simple dress made her look so alluring it hurt.
Isn't the trend now for 'pure and seductive,' both innocent and deadly?
At this moment, Liu Mi was embodying the concept of the pure-seductive ceiling!
When she walked out of the Music Department building, the noise of the campus seemed to die down. She instantly stunned everyone. Many gasped, shocked by a beauty that needed no adornment to captivate.
If it were ancient times, she would undoubtedly be the kind of demonic concubine who would cause beacon fires to be lit just to see a smile, a woman who could make a king execute loyal officials with a single pout.
"Hiss, Liu Mi is too beautiful! Even though I've seen her many times, every time I'm still amazed!"
"Yes, even as a girl, I like Liu Mi! Sister, kill me!"
"Everyone says Liu Mi is the reincarnation of a nine-tailed fox spirit... this is just too right!"
"I really hope Goddess Liu Mi isn't taken by Qi Fan. Can't she just belong to everyone by belonging to no one?"
At this moment, everyone stared intently at Liu Mi, watching the scene unfold, feeling uneasy in their hearts. Most did not want Qi Fan to succeed.
And when Qi Fan saw Liu Mi walk out, his gaze became infatuated. It took him a long moment to react, putting on a proud and self-important demeanor. Holding ninety-nine red roses, standing in front of a sea of tens of thousands of roses and a top-tier Maybach, he knelt on one knee.
He spoke with deep, practiced affection:
"Liu Mi, I've liked you for two years. My sincerity is truer than true gold!"
"In the past, I always hid my identity as a second-generation rich, but now, I'm not pretending anymore. I'm officially pursuing you!"
"Liu Mi, can you give me a chance to take care of you?"
"I swear, I will spoil you to the heavens and make you the happiest woman in the world!"
The crowd held its breath. It was grand. It was expensive. It was every girl's dream... theoretically.
Liu Mi's captivating fox-like eyes lightly swept over Qi Fan, who was kneeling on one knee like a prince in a bad drama. Her expression didn't change. She didn't blush, didn't gasp.
She parted her red lips and uttered two words that cut through the air like ice:
"Boring trick!"
After speaking, Liu Mi walked directly past Qi Fan, brushing shoulders with him, completely ignoring his frozen, stone-like expression.
If she hadn't seen the Riverside Luxury Mansion last night, that number one mansion in Modu, as luxurious and antique as a prince's residence...
If she hadn't seen the banquet last night, where bigwigs from all walks of life in Modu were respectful and smiling in front of Shen Anyu...
If she hadn't seen Shen Anyu's handsome face and the aura of a top noble that made other men look like boys...
If not for those things, perhaps Liu Mi would have been moved by Qi Fan's display and romance. Although she wouldn't have directly agreed to be his girlfriend, she might have considered giving him a chance to pursue her, simply out of boredom or curiosity about his sudden wealth.
But now? In Liu Mi's heart, how could Qi Fan at this moment be compared to Shen Anyu?
One is a lucky upstart flashing cash, the other is a true dragon of the Nine Heavens, a dragon among men!
Having seen the most magnificent scenery, why would Liu Mi care about a painted wall?
At this moment, all Liu Mi thought about and longed for was Shen Anyu. How to contact him again? How to show her charm and win him over?
As for Qi Fan, he was no longer in her eyes. He was background noise.
For the proud Liu Mi, even if she couldn't win over Shen Anyu, she would absolutely not settle!

[Ding! Child of Destiny Qi Fan's mentality exploded, plundering +9,999 Destiny Points!]
Qi Fan knelt on the ground, holding the bouquet of roses that suddenly felt very heavy. His proud and affectionate expression was frozen as if turned to stone.
The surrounding crowd was also stunned for a second, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter! Goddess Liu Mi did well, directly denying Qi Fan a chance. 'Boring trick,' well said, so well said!"
"Yes, he thought that by preparing so many roses and bringing a top-tier Maybach, Goddess Liu Mi would agree to be his girlfriend? Qi Fan thought too highly of himself!"
"Doesn't Qi Fan's expression look like a clown? Go to Gotham City, even Batman wouldn't hit him anymore!"
[Ding! Child of Destiny Qi Fan's mentality exploded, plundering +9,999 Destiny Points!]
Listening to the discussions of the surrounding crowd, Qi Fan's mentality exploded again. But he was unwilling. He refused to accept this.
He immediately stood up, scrambling to block Liu Mi's path. He looked at her with a feigned affectionate gaze, desperation leaking through.
"Liu Mi, I, Qi Fan, am serious about you! Give me a chance, okay? Just one meal!"
Liu Mi stopped. But she didn't look at Qi Fan. Instead, her beautiful eyes looked towards the side with surprise.
Standing there, leaning casually against a tree, was a handsome and tall man.
He had a straight figure, dressed appropriately and dashingly in a casual suit that probably cost more than Qi Fan's car. He was looking at her with a smile.
It was naturally Shen Anyu.
He had been watching the show for a while. He had even left a [Nanometer Monitoring Robot] on Qi Fan, watching his mentality explode, eating popcorn metaphorically, and plundering Destiny Points. He felt quite pleased.
"I happened to be near Modu University. Last night, you mentioned you were in the music department, so I thought I'd come and take a look. Mi Mi, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Shen Anyu asked with a sincere smile on his face, stepping forward.
"Brother Shen... Brother Shen, no disturbance at all! I'm very happy you could come, Mi Mi!"
Liu Mi's face bloomed into a smile, and her whole person came alive. Just a moment ago, she was plain and melancholic, but now she was like a withered rose that had received long-awaited rain, becoming even more stunningly beautiful!
Hearing Shen Anyu affectionately call her "Mi Mi," and knowing he specially came to Modu University to see her, Liu Mi was overjoyed. She proactively called him "Brother Shen" to draw closer.
Her heart was even more delighted, her imagination running wild. Could it be that Brother Shen had a good impression of her, but it was inconvenient to show it at the banquet yesterday?
That's right, she knew it! How could anyone disregard a beautiful girl like her and favor a married woman like her distant cousin Liu Qingyue?
[Ding! Detected destined heroine Liu Mi's favorability +6, plundering +18,000 Destiny Points!]
Next to them, Qi Fan was completely dumbfounded. He felt even more of a clown than the Joker in Gotham City, staring blankly at this scene.
He watched the campus beauty Liu Mi, who was as cold as ice in front of him, now smiling like a flower and looking vibrant and beautiful in front of another man.
Such a stark contrast dealt Qi Fan a blow of ten thousand tons!
[Ding! Child of Destiny Qi Fan's mentality exploded, plundering +20,000 Destiny Points!]
And that wasn't all!
Shen Anyu didn't bring a luxury car. He was riding a bicycle at this moment. A simple, sleek bicycle.
He patted the back seat and smiled at Liu Mi, saying:
"I wonder if this bicycle has the honor of having a great beauty like Mi Mi ride on it?"
