Qiu Hu turned around and saw Ning Yizhan standing behind her. She paused for two seconds, then asked, "You're back so soon?"
“It’s been three days already, and it feels like an eternity,” Ning Yizhan said sullenly. “You didn’t seem very happy when you saw me come back.”
"No, I don't think so." She just didn't feel anything; her reaction was indifferent.
Ning Yizhan sat down next to her. "Why are there so many people here tonight?" He didn't say anything about what happened next, but why that Qian had also come to Qincheng.
"It's just a birthday dinner for Wei Zhouyu," Qiu Hu said calmly.
Ning Yizhan turned to look at her again, a slight smile playing on his lips, and stroked her head. "How were you? Did you miss me?"
Qiu Hu instinctively dodged backward, but immediately realized something was wrong and froze in place. Ning Yizhan's hand also stopped in mid-air, his slightly upturned lips stiffened, and he silently withdrew his hand.
"It seems you really weren't thinking about me."
Qiu Hu wanted to tell the truth. Yes, she hadn't thought about him these past few days, and even had a slight reluctance to see him. She didn't know why, but the truth turned into silence.
Ning Yizhan didn't receive any denial or other response from Qiu Hu. "So you're admitting it?"
"..." She acquiesced.
His languid, magnetic voice gradually turned aggrieved, "I texted you but you didn't reply, I called but you didn't answer, why is that? Are you angry because I've been going on business trips a lot lately?"
"I saw it at the time, but then I forgot about it... and then I didn't reply."
"I can tell you don't care at all. Do you even have me in your heart anymore?"
Another period of silence followed.
"Is this because of Qiu Xi?" Ning Yizhan began to speculate.
Sure enough, Qiu Hu finally reacted quite strongly.
"How do you know Qiu Xi? Did you investigate?" Qiu Xi is someone most people don't know, so how could he know?
"No, I only found out when I heard you talking about it last time. Later, I asked my mom, and she knows Qiu Xi." He didn't know that Qiu Hu already knew where Qiu Xi was. "If you want to know Qiu Xi, I can help you find out. You don't need to pay attention to what Fu Shen said."
"No need." Qiu Hu firmly objected. The fewer people who knew about Qiu Xi's affairs, the better. Ning Yizhan cared a lot about her affairs, which also put some pressure on her. "From now on, don't interfere in my affairs."
Upon hearing Qiu Hu's words, Ning Yizhan's deep and alluring peach blossom eyes dimmed. "Don't you trust me, or do you find me annoying?"
"That's not what I meant. You should go back first!" Qiu Hu's face began to show a conflicted expression, his fingers gripping the sofa, but in the end he still wanted him to leave first.
"Why are you making me go back so soon? Even if we have different opinions, there's no need to kick me out." Ning Yizhan had just returned when his girlfriend not only didn't want him anymore, but also wanted him to leave first.
"You go back first." Qiu Hu's attitude hardened.
Ning Yizhan didn't try to stop him, but just said sullenly, "Okay." Then he got up and left. He was a little unhappy, and he wanted Qiu Hu to know that he could be angry too, so he didn't look back once. He didn't know that Qiu Hu was watching his back as he left.
He returned to his car, but instead of driving away immediately, he turned back to look thoughtfully at Qiu Hu's villa. After a long while, he looked away, gave a self-deprecating laugh, but his eyes held a coldness. He lowered his gaze and instructed the driver, "Drive."
Inside the villa, Qiu Hu watched Ning Yizhan leave, sensing a hint of loneliness in his expression, but she quickly put that feeling out of mind.
At that moment, she realized she didn't like him that much. Originally, she wasn't that annoyed; her feelings were indifferent. However, Ning Yizhan suddenly brought up Qiu Xi, which caused her to react so strongly.
She ran back to her room, turned on the lamp, and began to be alone.
There's been so much going on lately that she hasn't figured out what to do in the future. Should she acknowledge Zhao Shi as her father, or just let him continue living his peaceful life? Should she continue searching for her parents? She already had no leads, and now she's completely lost. How should she deal with the necklace? Right now, no one knows that the necklace is in Ning Yizhan's hands. If the Colin family really comes looking for her, how should she defend herself? What if they find out that it's with Ning Yizhan? The Qiu family hasn't fully recovered yet, and there's also Qiu Bing stirring things up.
Destroy it all, I'm so tired. Qiu Hu slumped back onto the bed.
Gradually, she fell asleep.
She woke up at 6:30 the next day, her tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and she began to talk to herself, her innate intelligence shining through her eyes, "No rush, one thing at a time, we can always solve it."
She got up and checked the time; it was 6:30. They should all be up by now. She sent a message to the "Me and My Three Musketeers" group: "@All members, meet at Jinyinwan at 9:00 AM. We can talk if you need anything."
"Me and My Three Musketeers" is a group chat consisting of Qiu Hu, A Qian, A Wan, and A Yi, which is mainly used for communication and work.
Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions: received
Qiu Hu didn't say anything more. Instead, he got up, washed, dressed, and went to his study. He picked up Hume's "A Treatise of Human Nature" and began to read it.
At nine o'clock in the morning, A Qian, A Wan, and A Yi all appeared in Qiu Hu's study.
At this moment, Qiu Hu also brought out his aura, "Let's stop being so slow, let's be efficient, finish this as soon as possible and go back to Huxi Island."
When it came to Lake Creek Island, A-Yi was the most excited, his morale immediately soaring. "Great! I've wanted to go back for ages!"
"Okay, now I'll arrange the work."
"Brother Wan, keep an eye on the company and Qiu Bing. The company's operations are basically back to normal. Report to me as soon as Qiu Bing makes any moves. But Qiu Bing won't be able to cause trouble for much longer."
"Qian, how's the investigation into Qiu Bing going?"
Aqian was also planning to report this to Qiu Hu, "We've found Jiang Wenshan, and with a few tricks, we should have results soon."
"Okay. You can also check on my parents' side. Let me know if you find anything." Things have progressed this far, and many things are already clear.
The final step: "Ah Yi, make sure the defenses and security are in place recently, in case someone launches a sneak attack."
"good
"No problem, miss, I'm good at this."
"Over, you can all go now!" She still needed to think about the necklace and Ning Yizhan. She admitted that her attitude yesterday wasn't very good, but she didn't regret it.
Once the Qiu family's operations return to normal, she will only entrust them to Awan and her manager. Because she prefers to return to Lake Creek Island, it means they will either be separated or in a long-distance relationship for an extended period. For her, a long-distance relationship is meaningless, so only one option remains.
"Okay, then let's leave it at that!"
At this moment, Ning Yizhan was unaware that he was about to be abandoned.
