From the time she received his phone call in the afternoon to the time she ate dinner, she was distracted, constantly thinking about how she should explain herself when she called him, how she should express her request.

When she was cooking, she did not even realize that the soup was overflowing. In the end, Liangqiu just dragged her out of the kitchen.

Her abnormality also attracted Liangqiu's attention. He asked her a few times in concern, but she tried to excuse him with all kinds of excuse, so after she finished eating dinner, she went into his room.

Lying on the bed, tossing and turning, holding the phone in his hand, he still didn't have the courage to dial that number.

Sigh, it was just a phone call. Why would she be so nervous? She had never been so nervous even when she called a stranger, and since when had she been so agitated?

Fine, fine, she comforted herself. If she had to blame anyone, it would be because that person's reputation was too strong, so strong that it was always terrifying.

Just as she was about to fall asleep from her thoughts, her phone suddenly rang. When she saw the caller ID, she sat up from the bed in shock and almost threw her phone. She had been reading the number for the whole night, how could she not be familiar with it?

Ye Ci patted her chest and took a deep breath, then pressed the answer button.

"Hey …"

"Why haven't you slept so late?"

His voice rang out in the silent night, unexpectedly pleasant to the ears.

"I'm not very sleepy …"

She answered obediently, as if she were a student who had done something wrong and was embarrassed by her strict teacher.

There was a moment of silence on the other end. After a while, his low voice sounded again.

"Didn't you ask for my number in the day? Why didn't you call?"

"Uh, I'm afraid I'll disturb your work …"

Even she felt that her excuse was a bit far-fetched.

"What about tonight?"

"I'm afraid I'll disturb your rest …"

In the end, her voice was barely audible.

The surroundings immediately fell into silence, so quiet that she could clearly hear her own heart pounding due to the nervousness.

"Then you can say it now!"

His sudden voice made her heart skip a beat.

"Ugh …" "That …"

She swallowed.

"I want to stay here with Liangqiu before he goes abroad …"

"Sure!"

The straightforward answer startled her for a moment, and then her face lit up with a happy smile.

"Thank you!"

He didn't respond to her on the other end of the phone, and she didn't know what to say, so for a moment neither of them had anything to say.

Embarrassed, she started to say goodbye, but he hung up. She was so angry that she threw her phone to the side, cursing in her heart. What a rude guy, he didn't even tell her before she hung up the phone.

In the next week, all the way until the day Liangqiu left, he did not come to find her.

She herself was also busy preparing for Liangqiu to leave the country, and just with the various daily necessities she bought a whole bunch of things. It was currently summer, and she had even bought him a sweater and jacket for the winter, causing Liangqiu to protest helplessly.

"Sis, it's not like I'm going to another planet, what can't I buy when I get to She Country? If you keep packing, my luggage will become overweight!"

Liangqiu's words made her feel indescribably sad, so Qiuye hurriedly lowered her head.

"Alright, alright. The last one, the last one!"

As he spoke, he stuffed the last piece of clothing into his luggage.

Liangqiu sighed, he lightly walked to her and hugged her shoulders.

"Sis, don't make it seem like I'm not coming back. I'll fly back to see you as soon as I have a holiday, okay?"

Qiuye took a deep breath and raised her head with a smile.

"No need, you're not in a good condition, so stop tormenting yourself. It's better to wait for Sis to go and see you!"

"Yes!"

Liangqiu responded with a muffled sound and suddenly stopped talking. Qiuye guessed that he remembered her situation again, he was worried about how she would be for the next four years.

Actually, four years wasn't a long or short period of time. She didn't have much hope, she just wanted to be able to peacefully pass it. She would do her best … Mistress... It was a duty, but thankfully, for the next four years she thought she could try to forget her unpleasant identity with her busy studies.

Although Liangqiu wanted to go to She Country with his professor, but out of politeness, she and Liangqiu decided to pay a visit to Liangqiu's professor to express their gratitude to his family.

Liangqiu's professor surname was Xie and he was a warm, middle-aged man. His mistress was also a gentle woman and was extremely caring towards him, causing their own biological daughter, Xie Qingwan to be jealous. He laughed and said that the two of them had stolen her limelight.

Xie Qingwan was two years older than Liangqiu, but she was only fifteen years old, and had a slim and graceful appearance.

was helping his wife out in the kitchen during lunch time, while his wife was praising her excellent culinary skills. As they were eating, he looked at them and laughed, and wondered, if his parents were still alive, would such a happy scene take place?

On the day when Liangqiu left the country, he had just opened the door with Liangqiu, full of bags and bags of goods, when she saw the black Cadillac parked in front of the door.

She was shocked, and upon getting on the car, discovered that the person was not in the car. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but thinking about how she was going to start his so-called life after today, his originally depressed mood became even more downcast because Liangqiu was about to leave.

In the bright, empty waiting hall, Qiuye forced out a smile and said goodbye to Liangqiu and the professor's family. Although she had Professor Xie and his family to take care of Liangqiu and that person was said to have already arranged the best doctor for him, she was still sad, so sad.

In all these years, she had never separated from Liangqiu. In addition to the fact that after her parents died, the siblings had always been relying on each other to support and encourage each other.

This parting was like tearing apart a piece of his heart. He was clearly bleeding, but he couldn't cry out in pain.

Seeing that Liangqiu's frail figure had finally disappeared from the entrance, Qiuye could no longer hold back her tears and threw herself at Loong Yi, who was standing behind her. She only wanted to hug him for a bit, even if it was just for a second.

Loong Yi froze when she hugged him, instinctively reaching out to push her away, but upon seeing her crying, his hands paused in the air for a moment, before drooping back down again. He then stood there awkwardly, allowing her to hug him and cry.

At the other end of the hall was the international exit.

VIP channel.

Twelve bodyguards in black suits and ties walked out first. They lined up in two rows and then respectfully bowed their heads. Their right hands solemnly pressed on the left side of their chest, as if greeting some great figure.

At the end of the corridor, a man in a regal, regal silver suit walked out proudly. Although the large sunglasses covered most of his face, his frightening aura made people shudder in fear.

After he walked past them, the bodyguards stood up and surrounded him. Their sharp eyes swept across the surrounding area.

After walking a few steps, the man suddenly stopped. His black eyes suddenly narrowed under his sunglasses. At the other end of the hall, a petite woman was leaning on a robust man as she cried as if no one else was around.
