Chapter 258 Will I Be Unable to Find You?

Feeling the dampness on her fingertips, Sang Qing glared at him, withdrew her hand, and continued eating the osmanthus pastry.

The top-floor bedroom was specially designed with a semi-enclosed layout for stargazing, and Sang Qing really enjoys lying in bed watching the stars.

The night view of Beiyunxing is exceptionally bright, the kind of romance that only a professional photo retoucher could capture.

It was rare that Shi Ying didn't bother her tonight, and quietly kept her company while she watched the stars.

“Ah Wan.”

"Um?"

She answered him, and then he fell silent.

Sang Qing turned her head and glanced at him, then continued to look at the starry sky.

After a long while, Shi Ying's voice came through again, "What was A-Wan like before?"

Sang Qing looked up at the starry sky in silence.

In the past~

She studied at university for two years, but she just couldn't keep going. She struggled and found it hard to find a way to make money. Even the scholarships she received weren't enough to cover her expenses. Besides tuition and living expenses, there were many other miscellaneous expenses.

I found a job at a company, and after deductions for social security, my salary is 4,500 yuan. When I'm hungry, I order takeout, and when I'm bored, I watch videos.

This continued for a year or two. Later, through her efforts, she climbed to the position of team leader, earning 10,000 yuan a month. If the team performed well, she could earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month.

Driven by her obsession, she saved all her money and rented a small apartment for 1,500 yuan a month.

When the apocalypse came, she still had several hundred thousand yuan in her account.

Nothing special.

In her previous life, she was just an ordinary person. Even after being bound to a system in the apocalypse, she didn't achieve much and was in a precarious situation, struggling to survive.

Fortunately, I was reborn into this era, and with the accumulated experience and superpowers from the apocalypse, I can work hard in this favorable era and live the way I want.

Having received no reply for a long time, Shi Ying did not ask any further questions.

He knew that Awan must have had a difficult past, otherwise how could she be so independent and know so much?

In the past, "Sangqing" had no jobs.

He reached out and took Sang Qing's hand, his golden eyes gazing at her in the moonlight. "Would I lose sight of you?"

The night was hazy, and Shi Ying's voice seemed to be shrouded in mist.

Sang Qing pulled herself out of her distant thoughts, sat up, and looked down into Shi Ying's beautiful eyes.

Shi Ying's eyes are truly beautiful, like fragments of gold rendered by the blazing sun, settling the dark fireflies after the night sky has been torn and shattered, casting her shadow and illuminating the highlights of a stroke of genius.

Sang Qing tightened her grip, a slight smile playing on her lips, and placed her hand on Shi Ying's chest.

"Won't."

Her world has vanished; in this world, the night has two moons, and the starry sky is bright and dazzling.

As long as the contract remains in effect, she will find him.

Spiritual threads flowed from the fingertips that touched, penetrating deep into the sea of ​​roses as if no one was there.

...

The Marquis of Rui'an's mansion on the other side, however, was not so harmonious.

Lei Jinfeng returned home dejectedly. Just as he sat down, the door clicked open from the outside.

Since getting married, Joey rarely comes to his place, but today she unexpectedly appeared at the door.

Joey was still wearing her pure and lovely white dress, but the expression on her face was quite different, radiating a chilling and sinister aura.

Seeing Lei Jinfeng's dejected appearance, Qiao Luoyi recalled how he had stared at Sang Qing without blinking at the banquet, and felt humiliated. She sneered, "What, you regretted it after seeing Sang Qing and her beastly husband's glamorous life?"

Caught off guard, Lei Jinfeng awkwardly looked away, then, realizing what had happened, denied it again, saying, "No."

The deliberately louder voice only made him sound less confident.

How could Qiao Luoyi not see through it? He was even more furious. "I advise you to recognize your own place. When Sang Qing was fawning over you, you thought she was vulgar and annoying. But when I beckoned to you, you fawned over her."

"Now that she doesn't want you anymore, and I'm the one serving her husband, you're starting to miss her again?"

"Aren't you shameless?"

Qiao Luoyi walked up to Lei Jinfeng, looked down at him, and his eyes revealed his mockery and contempt.

Every word they uttered trampled on Lei Jinfeng's self-esteem.

The once gentle voice now sounds sharp.

Lei Jinfeng's face was grim as he looked at Qiao Luoyi, who was now unrecognizable. There was no trace of the gentle, kind, and understanding person he had once admired.

After the failed drugging attempt and their falling out, he finally realized her true colors. Beneath her gentle and kind facade lay a twisted competitive spirit, a vicious jealousy, and a hypocritical pretense of enjoying manipulating people's hearts.

Perhaps because he was already in a bad mood, or perhaps because he had always been unrestrained towards Sang Qing, he retorted sharply:

"And what about you? I used to treat you so well, but I never imagined it was all just to get close to my uncle. Unfortunately, my uncle doesn't like you. You don't even know that, do you? He has his eye on Sang Qing."

"What did you say? Say it again!" Qiao Luoyi exploded upon hearing this and slapped Lei Jinfeng across the face.

Lei Jinfeng covered his face in astonishment, his anger ignited, and he shouted back, "What if I say it again! Your uncle looks down on your position as the master of the house, but he actively pursues Sang Qing and wants to be her concubine."

"The young master of the Milan Duke's mansion doesn't even like you; he prefers Sang Qing!"

"The high branches you try so hard to climb are all ones that Sang Qing has refused to accept."

He overheard this from a corner of the banquet, and he looked at Joey with the same mockery.

"I'm cheap? Aren't you cheap too?"

Joey was so angry that his fingers trembled. He grabbed a teacup from the table and threw it at Joey, and the two of them started a heated argument.

The argument escalated to the point of losing control, resulting in a sharp scream that alerted the Marquis's guards and Yan Ci from next door.

...

The next day, Sang Qing called Duke Carly to apologize. She had only found out that morning that Shi Ying had also hit someone.

Oh dear! Shi Ying has such a fiery temper.

Duke Carly readily accepted the criticism, saying, "It's because my husband and I have been too busy and haven't taught him well, causing you trouble."

Carly then added, “However, it’s rare for Mu Bai to be interested in things other than making money, especially females. Although Mu Bai is a bit clueless when it comes to relationships, he’s not a bad person at heart. If you’re willing, our two families could arrange a marriage.”

Sang Qing was quite helpless and could only tell him directly that she did not intend to marry another beast husband.

Duke Carly, on the other end of the phone, was visibly taken aback by the answer, then sighed regretfully.

"Alright, that kid is just unlucky. I'll keep an eye on him from now on."

"You don't need to take yesterday's incident to heart. Colonel Shi is a sensible man. He didn't use his full strength. Even sparring in the military camp can result in more serious injuries than this. Just consider it a lesson to teach him a lesson so he won't keep trying to humiliate people with money all the time."

Sang Qing couldn't help but chuckle, and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief. Chatting with someone like Duke Carly was so relaxing.
