Qiu Hu received news that Qiu Bing and his wife had been sentenced, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they would not be coming out of prison. Qiu Hu was surprised that it happened so quickly, and it seemed that someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
In the following days, Qiu Hu was worried about Old Master Qiu, whose two children were in prison and whose whereabouts were still unknown. He was afraid that something might happen to Old Master Qiu, so he took Qiu Lan back to the old house for a few days.
She told Ning Yizhan, and surprisingly he didn't object, but she wouldn't be able to see him for a few days.
A few days later, seeing that the old man was really alright, she and Qiu Lan left. What puzzled her was that she thought she would have to deal with Jiang Kong and Jiang Yun for a while, but apart from that one time, they never came to see her again.
She left the old man's house intending to go find Ning Yizhan, but he was away on a business trip. There was nothing she could do but wait for him to return.
On the evening of the second-to-last day before Ning Yizhan's return, she was having dinner with a client at a restaurant. After seeing the client off, on her way to pick up her car, she ran into Jiang Kong, and both of them froze.
She had never gotten along with the two siblings since childhood, but this time he didn't come up to argue with her. Instead, he avoided her whenever he saw her. She felt that the chances of him not daring to approach her because he had lost his backer were slim. She figured that if she did argue with him, Qiu Hu wouldn't bother him in the future.
"Why are you avoiding me now?" Qiu Hu asked, voicing his curiosity.
"Heh, I wouldn't dare offend you, Miss Qiu." Jiang Kong was already twenty-nine years old. Although he had become a bit of a scoundrel, even though Old Master Qiu didn't particularly like him, he still gave him some businesses, which he managed well. Now, he could only make a living from these.
"Why?" She admitted that she was not someone to be trifled with.
"That's all thanks to your good boyfriend!" Jiang Kong thought of what that man had said to him. Although it wasn't pleasant to hear, it was the truth.
"Ning Yizhan? He contacted you?"
"Chou Hu, what are you pretending for?" Jiang Kong said irritably, revealing Ning Yizhan's role in stirring things up behind the scenes. "If he hadn't arranged for people to speed up the process of handling my parents' affairs, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state. He even told me a whole bunch of truths and facts. You guys are really something! You're trying to destroy my spirit!"
However, he is now sober and will not waste his efforts.
...
Qiu Hu was stunned when she heard his words. She didn't even know when Jiang Kong had left. When she came to her senses, she muttered to herself, "I kind of want to see him!"
She went to the parking lot, got into her car, sat in the driver's seat, and took out her phone to call Ning Yizhan. He answered quickly, "Hey, Ah Hu, you miss me?"
Qiu Hu's tone was indifferent yet filled with longing, "Yes, I want to see you. When are you coming back?"
"My flight is at dawn, and I'll arrive home around 10 a.m. tomorrow. Should I go back and visit you first?"
Qiu Hu didn't answer. He was wondering whether to go pick her up at the airport, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "No, you should go home first and then come!"
"good".
They talked for a long time before Ning Yizhan had to get busy and they hung up.
The next morning, Ayi saw her young lady carrying a suitcase coming downstairs. "Miss, where are you going? On a business trip?"
As soon as Qiu Hu carried her luggage downstairs, she heard A Yi ask her, "No, I'm moving to Ning Yizhan's house. If anything happens here, remember to report to me immediately."
"What? Why? What are we going to do? Don't you want to go back to Lake Creek Island?" She followed Qiu Hu into the restaurant and asked from behind, puzzled.
"At least that's how I feel right now. We'll talk about the rest later." Ayi's words did remind her, and she suddenly felt a little troubled. She would think about it carefully.
She quickly finished her breakfast. "Anyway, I'll think it over and give you an answer later. You'll have to watch the house while I'm gone. I'm heading out now."
Although A-Yi didn't agree with her, he still agreed, saying, "Okay, you love-struck fool." He watched as she pulled her suitcase and left without looking back.
No sooner had Qiu Hu left than Qiu Lan came downstairs. She hadn't been filming recently and was on vacation at home. She saw that A Yi seemed angry. "What's wrong?" she asked.
"It's all because of your sister, she's so love-struck she moved to her boyfriend's house!"
"What?!" News broke first thing in the morning.
"..." Ah Yi ignored her and went upstairs. Playing games was more fun for her, and she didn't care about anything else!
Guyue Garden.
Qiu Hu had been here before, and the security guard let her through. Actually, Ning Yizhan had already entered her information, so it was automatically allowed to pass.
When Qiu Hu arrived at his door, she was asked to enter a password, a six-digit number. She decided to wait for him to come back. She glanced at the time; it was ten o'clock. He should be back soon. She sat on top of her suitcase and waited for him to open the door.
At 10:42, Qiu Hu heard a noise from the elevator. Looking up, he saw Ning Yizhan pulling a suitcase as he walked out. Seeing Qiu Hu standing in front of his door, he was delighted. "Why are you here?"
Qiu Hu looked at him and smiled sweetly, "I've been waiting for you!"
Ning Yizhan walked towards her, pulling his suitcase, and saw her sitting on it. "What? Did you run away from home?"
"No, I want to live with you." Qiu Hu got off her suitcase and stood beside him.
Ning Yizhan's hand, which was about to use fingerprint recognition, froze, his heart pounding. "What did you say? Say it again?"
"I said I wanted to live with you," she said, then muttered under her breath, "Besides, didn't you keep asking me last time if I wanted to live with you?"
Hearing her words, Ning Yizhan smiled but didn't answer. He unlocked the door, pulled her into the house, pinned her against the wall, and slammed the door shut.
Two suitcases outside the door: ...
The room was dimly lit, and the curtains were drawn, but not tightly, leaving a gap through which daylight shone in, allowing them to barely see each other's faces.
Qiu Hu was pulled into the house by him, almost startled. The two looked into each other's eyes. Just as she was about to ask him what was wrong, the man kissed her forcefully, the kiss hurting her. She tried to push him away, but before she could even put her hand on his chest, he grabbed it and lifted it above her head. She tried to speak, but he blocked her from saying a word...
The man finally let go of her. Her lips were already numb, and she asked weakly, "What are you doing?"
"Fuck you!"
The man pressed his lips to hers again, giving her no chance to speak. She let him take hers, only knowing that he kissed her until she cried and her waist ached from his tightness. At first, she was not used to it, but slowly she began to respond to him.
Qiu Hu was led to the cabinet next to the entrance hall. He opened the top drawer, which looked empty. He then took something out of the corner.
Qiu Hu: ...How come there's something like this here?
