Why is there always so much trouble? I seriously wonder whether you’re trying to live as an ordinary person or cultivate immortality. At this rate, you might as well ascend to heaven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun: “You’re so nagging.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yao felt like he was coughing up blood, and said dismally, “My respected Professor Qiao, it’s not that I want to nag. I’ve gone from a CEO to being a little assistant, and now I even have to deal with the trolls. Juggling multiple roles is really exhausting…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll give you a raise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure thing,” Pei Yao sneakily asked, “How much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just decide for yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun knew that Pei Yao was joking; he was just grumbling about all the troubles that came with her decision to live as a regular person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the day, he still cared about her. Professor Qiao could have stayed comfortable, but she chose to be an ordinary person instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t be satisfied no matter how much you add. I just want to rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yao’s annual dividends were enough to buy several islands; Professor Qiao never shortchanged him when it came to money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, you come to the company and cover for me, so I can have a break.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was constantly trying to persuade Qiao Yun to give up being a regular person and to come back to inherit the family fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun said earnestly, “That works, once I’ve learned how to be a person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How unreliable does that sound? Waiting for you to learn how to be a person could be forever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun: “Then you can wait until forever to take your vacation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yao: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yao was almost brought to laughter by Qiao Yun’s absurd logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun made up her mind: “I said I’d wait half a year, and it hasn’t been half a year yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yao calculated and realized it had only been three months, meaning there were still three months left. He could wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Qiao Yun used to think that if she couldn’t adjust to being a person after half a year, she’d stop trying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, there were several people in her heart she couldn’t bear to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also wasn’t sure what might change in half a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun collected her thoughts and headed off campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Li Miao had to stay behind for duty, she walked with her desk mate Xia Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had promised Xia Ling before that they would be friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she was going to try hard to be friends with Xia Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time Xia Ling was walking home with Qiao Yun, and she felt like she was dreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought Qiao Yun’s earlier offer to be friends was just to comfort her, but now she saw that Qiao Yun was really serious about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the school gate, they went their separate ways because they were headed in different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiao Yun, is that Lu Ting?” Xia Ling asked, ready to leave when she keenly spotted Lu Ting leaving with another woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that your relative?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun narrowed her eyes, shaking her head thoughtfully: “No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she remembered that woman, when she was in Hai City with Lu Zhanxing and Lu Ting to record a variety show, she had run into the woman in the restroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the woman’s look at her was a mix of surprise and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was she now appearing in Shangjing City, and walking with Lu Ting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Qiao Yun could ponder deeply, several cars stopped in front of her, bringing her back to the present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou You drove a taxi to take Qiao Yun home, with several unassuming cars following behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dismiss them,” Qiao Yun ordered Zhou You after she got into the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou You was in a difficult position, “Pei Ya said, this time we can’t listen to Professor Qiao. If Professor Qiao doesn’t let these people protect her, he will come personally.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun was faintly surprised. Was Pei Yao trying to take her place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Pei Yao wanted to increase her security detail, but she didn’t expect there to be so many; it was as if he was afraid that others wouldn’t notice her.\u003C\u002Fp>",803,"2026-06-09T06:21:36.109Z",1,"novelbin.me","71e78d4485a00216b9f8cb52a5949695c824efda6d7ab1cf57602dfa189339be","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-248","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-200",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-cover.jpg"]
