Ning Yizhan went to private room 512 to pick up Qiu Hu, put his arm around her shoulder and walked out, "Did you have a good chat?"
"Kaixin, what's wrong? You didn't chat?"
“There’s nothing much to talk about between three grown men. I’d rather have a more enjoyable chat with you. Let’s go home!” Ning Yizhan pulled her along and walked out.
The two returned home, changed their shoes, and went inside one after the other. As they walked onto the sofa, Ning Yizhan took the initiative to massage her shoulders, asking, "Are you tired?"
As she listened to the man's words, she remembered her shoulder, pulled her hair aside, and showed him the marks on her shoulder. "Look what you've done!"
"I did it, it looks really good. Didn't I let my hair down? How did they find out?" Ning Yizhan felt a little guilty after hearing what she said.
Qiu Hu lifted his chin and pretended to sneer, "Ha, I never thought you'd be so cowardly!"
"You still dare to say that? Be careful, I might get you another one tonight!"
"..." She believed that.
"I'm not going to talk about that anymore, let's get down to business. Where's my necklace? Is it here?"
Ning Yizhan was wary. "What? Trying to leave again?" He was almost driven to post-traumatic stress disorder by Qiu Hu.
"What? Take it out! Lure the snake out of its hole!"
Qiu Hu began to explain her entire plan. She hadn't heard from those people for a long time; they hadn't come to steal the necklace and nothing else had happened. She wondered what kind of evil scheme they were plotting. She couldn't just wait for them to come to her. The enemy was in the shadows while she was in the open. Perhaps she was already surrounded by dangers. It would be better for her to take the initiative and use the necklace to lure them out.
Qiu Hu started talking about the necklace again, "Anyway, we've already revealed the secret inside the necklace. Maybe the other party doesn't even know that we already know the secret. Right now, this necklace is just an ordinary, expensive necklace to us. I think we can take a gamble."
Ning Yizhan knew this was the case, but he didn't want the necklace that Qiu Hu had worn to be bought by someone else. Finally, he compromised and said, "Then what do you plan to do?" "Perhaps they already know the secret inside, which is why they haven't come to snatch it."
“I don’t think the chances are great. Maybe we can try using this necklace. I know there’s a very prestigious auction in a few days. If we put it up for auction, they’ll definitely find out.” Qiu Hu revealed his first step in the plan. “Next, we’ll investigate further. I have a feeling they don’t know as much as we do.”
"Alright, I'll bring it to you tomorrow!" Ning Yizhan started moving his hands, lifting Qiu Hu onto his lap.
"Okay," Qiu Hu said, letting the man hold her on his lap and then hugging him back.
Qiu Hu recalled what Qiu Lan had said at the bar, "Why did Fu Shen want to bring you down three years ago?"
"Why do you ask that? What did you hear?" Ning Yizhan hadn't forgotten this man. He hadn't been fooled in all these years, but now he was defeated by the smiling face of the woman in front of him. "Why are you suddenly interested in this?"
Qiu Hu then recounted what Qiu Lan had said that evening, including the fact that Jiang Yun wasn't crippled.
"Ha, all the heartless people end up together." She started to recall how she met Ning Yizhan, and thinking about it this way, Ning Yizhan was completely innocent.
Ning Yizhan was already recounting his experiences, "The Lin family of Mucheng, I've been in the underworld for so many years, there are bound to be a few rivals. What? Are you scared?"
"No".
"What is your relationship with the Lin family?"
"A person who is too strong can easily attract a lot of trouble."
After speaking, the man moved on to the next step, lowering his head to capture the woman's red lips. After the kiss, the two locked eyes and gazed at each other with affection.
Soon, Qiu Hu came to her senses and began to feel shy. Was this man becoming a little unrestrained? She pushed him away and went back to the bedroom.
The man followed the woman until they reached the master bathroom, where she stopped and said, "I'm going to take a shower!"
“Perfect timing, let’s go together.” Ning Yizhan pushed the woman into the bathroom and quickly closed the door.
The woman knew she was in trouble, but there was no way to escape.
...After a while, a sound that captivated Ning Yizhan emanated from the small, enchanting space.
The next morning, the secluded Guyue Garden was completely quiet. The only sound in the master bedroom was Ning Yizhan getting up. He had intended to stay in bed with Qiu Hu, but in the end, he got up. The two of them had stayed up a bit late the night before, so he decided to let her continue sleeping.
He tiptoed to the dressing room to change his clothes. When he came out, Qiu Hu was already standing there with sleepy eyes looking at him. Qiu Hu gave him a deep look, which clearly contained reproach, and then turned over and went to sleep.
"..." That look was way too obvious.
He first took the necklace from the safe in the study and placed it on the low cabinet next to Qiu Hu's bed before going to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Breakfast had just been prepared when the woman in the master bedroom came out. The timing was perfect, saving him the trouble of waking her up. But wasn't that exactly what he wanted?
"Good morning, Ah Hu," he walked over, touched the top of Qiu Hu's head, and naturally kissed her forehead, saying gently, "Good morning kiss."
He then pulled out a chair in front of Qiu Hu and made her sit down. Qiu Hu watched his series of actions and was inexplicably moved. He was basically a gentleman every day, except for the occasional morning when he went crazy in bed.
Yet his attention to detail always easily moved her. Unless it wasn't his true intention, he really knew her too well, as if he could see through everything about her.
When Qiu Hu returned to the company, she instructed A Qian to send the necklace to the auction house for auction, hoping that everything would get back on track as soon as possible.
For the next few days, Ning Yizhan would pick up Qiu Hu from get off work. After dinner, the two would either go downstairs for a stroll or watch TV series at home. When it was almost time, they would go back to their room to do some intimate activities and finally fall asleep in each other's arms.
The auction time finally arrived, and Ning Yizhan came to pick up Qiu Hu as usual. This time, however, they were going to the auction. Both of them were dressed very business-like today, making them a powerful duo. Clearly, they were representing their company this time.
Qiu Hu habitually looked around at her surroundings. No one was watching her. As soon as she turned her head, the man pulled her by the back of the neck and whispered in her ear, "The second floor at the back."
The woman was about to look up at the second floor when the man stopped her, saying, "Don't look, stay calm, and see how things go."
Only then did the man release Qiu Hu, leaving behind a smile. In the eyes of others, it seemed that this woman had made Ning Yizhan very happy.
The woman then looked away and stared at the man, asking, "How did you know there were people on the second floor?"
"A man's intuition"
Qiu Hu didn't believe her. She had already witnessed Ning Yizhan's prowess over the years, so she figured this was nothing to him.
The auction proceeded in a monotonous, routine manner, until Qiu Hu began to doze off.
Finally, it was time for the lake necklace to be auctioned... Qiu Hu suddenly snapped out of her daze; she wanted to see if anyone else was interested.
