She wouldn't even let me wait for Mu Chen at the door with her.
There was nothing the butler could do; he simply couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he made her wait obediently at the door.
As soon as he left, Rong Shang had already walked in the opposite direction.
A short while later, the group came out of the restaurant.
She wanted her brother and Liang Man to be alone together, and she also wanted to be with the person she loved.
As soon as they stepped outside, Mu Lian made an excuse to suggest they go their separate ways.
But what she didn't expect was that just as she had a chance to be alone with Qi Yan, he said he had something to do and had to go back after only a few steps away.
At that moment, Mu Lian felt incredibly heartbroken.
She wanted to act cute and ask him to take her home.
But the man's tone was firm and decisive, and Mu Lian didn't dare to go against him, so she reluctantly agreed.
One minute later, Mu Lian hailed a taxi and left.
Qi Yan looked around, and finally he walked towards the street ahead.
Midway through, a figure stumbled out of the alley.
Qi Yan's eyes lit up upon seeing this.
He quickly stepped forward and struck up a conversation, "What are you still doing here?"
Where is your father?
Upon hearing this voice, a smile quickly flashed across Rong Shang's eyes.
She turned around, glancing down, "Who are you?"
Qi Yan was a little embarrassed. "We met that night at the auction at Shengqing Restaurant."
"At that time I was still—"
"Sorry, I can't see it."
Well.
Yes.
Qi Yan suddenly felt even more embarrassed.
He scratched his head, chuckled, and repeated his question, "Why are you here all alone?"
"Wait for my dad."
"Oh, I see."
Qi Yan found that he always felt unconsciously nervous when talking to this woman.
He looked at her, but she didn't say a word, seemingly lost in thought.
Qi Yan was unsure whether to leave or continue standing there.
She can't see. What if she runs into bad people after he leaves?
Okay, then I won't leave.
Having found an excuse in his mind, Qi Yan stayed.
Not wanting to be too awkward, he could only keep trying to make conversation.
"Um... are you Mu Chen's wife?"
They don't look like it; I thought they were high school students.
"..." Rong Shang nodded, "Mm."
She wasn't interested in anything he said earlier.
Rong Shang responded half-heartedly, but finally felt the time was right, so she took the initiative to ask, "Does Mr. Qi know what the Blood Spirit Pearl is used for?"
Well.
Why do you ask that?
"Oh, no, I'm just curious why Mr. Qi would pay such a high price for the Blood Spirit Pearl."
"You knew it was me?" Qi Yan raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised as he looked at Rong Shang's face.
She could feel the other person's intense gaze falling on her face from time to time. Rong Shang slightly turned her head, her expression indifferent, and said, "I heard your voice that night."
"I see."
So your hearing and memory are really good.
Qi Yan looked at her with a hint of admiration.
"It's nothing really, I just think it looks pretty good," he replied.
Rong Chang did not believe it.
She then asked a few more questions.
But Qi Yan hesitated and stammered afterwards, as if he was reluctant to talk about the Blood Spirit Pearl.
Rong Shang had no idea what had happened after the Blood Spirit Orb disappeared.
All we know is that she wants to get the Blood Spirit Orb back.
But he couldn't possibly carry all those valuables with him. Rong Shang knew that even if she tried to rob him while masked, it would be useless.
Where exactly did he hide the Blood Spirit Orb?
What does he want the Blood Spirit Orb for?
There's plenty of time for that.
Anyway, her silly sister-in-law likes him, so he can't run far.
