34 Restless

When Qiu Yue got news of Wang Xi's death she immediately wondered whether he could have been killed by Huo Zi Feng or Yao Yan. They might not have done it themselves but...

So she immediately called them over to her house. She wanted to know what had really happened, and whether they had anything to do with Wang Xi's death.

When Huo Zi Feng heard the question he couldn't help but furrow his brows in worry, unable to say what was on his mind.

Yao Yan on the other hand, didn't hesitate to ask.

"What if we did?"

She stared at Qiu Yue with a serious look on her face. Yao Yan knew Qiu Yue's temperament, she knew that Qiu Yue wouldn't hurt anyone on purpose. But in a case like this, letting Wang Xi go was just asking to get hurt in the future. Bao FeiYin may have turned out alright, but Wang Xi had spent all his life hating Qiu Yue and her family.

Qiu Yue looked at Yao Yan, observing her expression before her eyes shifted to Huo Zi Feng. Although he hadn't said anything, his eyes held regret. Qiu Yue could feel that he didn't want to answer this, but she also knew that this was something she had to say.

"I know what you want to say... and perhaps a few years ago I would have been against hurting him. But I've learnt that, if I don't want my loved ones to get hurt, I need to be resolute. I-"

Huo Zi Feng stepped forward and grasped her hands in his.

"That's enough. That's all I needed to know. You never have to go through anything like that, I wouldn't put you through something you don't want to do. All I want is for you to accept me, even after you've seen... all the other sides of me."

Qiu Yue smiled sadly. Her gaze shifted from Huo Zi Feng to Yao Yan.

"I could never hate you both. Ever. I know what you think, and I appreciate your thoughts but you should know that I'll do anything to protect what's mine no matter the cost."

Yao Yan's eyes shook a bit and she looked away, but her voice carried a determination that Qiu Yue had never heard.

"We will never let it come to that."

Qiu Yue laughed lightly, pulling Yao Yan in for a hug.

"About Wang Xi, we had nothing to do with him. In fact, I'm still trying to find out who killed him. Honestly if I hadn't seen his body I would have thought that he had faked his death... but after seeing it I think I can safely say he is dead."

Huo Zi Feng shook his head, a thoughtful look in his eyes. Seeing the scratches on Wang Xi it was obvious that the killer was cold blooded and purposefully let him suffer. It was just that his men were stationed there too and he had even checked the security footage, there was no sign of anyone having gone inside or having left the facility. Hell, there wasn't even any evidence of anyone on the footage outside Wang Xi's cell.

Huo Zi Feng's eyes wandered over to Yao Yan. If there was anyone who could've...

But Yao Yan nodded to his words, implying that she too, knew as much as he did while looking straight at Qiu Yue.

Huo Zi Feng sighed. If it had been her, then there would be no problem and if it wasn't her, there was no choice but to keep on looking.

...........

Two years went by in a breeze.

Qiu Yue's games were doing splendidly well in the market, surprising even her!

Huo Zi Feng's company too had slowly started to incorporate a few of Qiu Yue's ideas, making the already popular company even more sought after in the market now.

Yao Yan has stayed to help Qiu Yue out in the beginning but after a while, she decided to go traveling in this world.

"Experience life, pick up men!"

She said. Qiu Yue could only laugh and tell her to have fun.

ʅ(⑅*´◡`)ʃ

Zhou Jia, although very comfortable with her job, also wanted a change of scenery. So at first, she had tentatively joined Yao Yan on her trip. But upon seeing Qiu Yue so worried about Yao Yan, she volunteered to take care of and look after Yao Yan so that she wouldn't get into any trouble.

Liu Hui, one of the original male leads of the world and Huo Zi Feng's best friend was interestingly engaged to a beautiful young woman last year.

Qiu Yue was surprised to see her and realized that this was the same bold and fierce reporter at the press conference a during the bombing case.

She was the daughter of Liu Hui's grand father's friend. Although they had made a promise to wed their grandchildren, the young woman named Ru Yui wanted to make sure that he was "the one". She was adamant on that note, she wouldn't marry someone in love with another, or someone who cared nothing for her.

This was probably something which the book had never mentioned. Seeing Liu Hui become infatuated with Bao FeiYin, she had probably left, disgusted.

The first time Ru Yui visited Liu Hui at work, Qiu Yue was shocked to see that stern demon faced man turn into melted ice cream at the slight compliment from her.

Huo Zi Feng could only smile happily upon seeing his best friend so head over heels in love with her.

Bao FeiYin had unexpectedly made a name for herself in A country. Even though Qiu Yue has expected this, she was still surprised at the power of the plot.

They had crossed paths once in A country, but although Bao FeiYin acknowledged her and greeted her briefly, Qiu Yue could see that she held no malice.

On the other hand, she had caught a glimpse of Chiang Jin fawning over Bao FeiYin, and her rolling her eyes while blushing.

Of course, when it comes to Qiu Yue's favorite couple Meng Hui and Yuan ZeXi, currently Qiu Yue could barely hold in her happiness!

They were getting married!!

Meng Hui agreed with all her requests of helping with the marriage ceremony, the suits, everything, while Yuan ZeXi wanted to hide his beautiful 'bride' away, this was after all the legendary rotten woman, so of course he had to be careful!

Yuan ZeXi honestly could only shake his head helplessly. Of course it felt nice to see someone supporting them so much, but he could also feel a shiver go down his spine every time he saw her planning another something in her head.

Qiu Yue squealed with delight looking at Meng Hui modeling one of this potential wedding suits.

٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

"Oh! Oh! I love this!"

Meng Hui laughed at his boss as she jumped around in happiness.

"You said that about almost every suit!"

They both walked out of the boutique after spending a good half a day in there. Qiu Yue bounced over to him, ruffling his soft curly hair in the process.

"That's because my family's little brother looks too cute in everything!"

Meng Hui smiled, his heart warming. Qiu Yue's antics sometimes were very enthusiastic, but seeing the amount of attention and care she held for him he couldn't help but give in.

Yuan ZeXi, who had been waiting outside since god knows when immediately walked up and separated them both, holding Meng Hui close to himself, an arm around his slim waist.

Qiu Yue didn't even blink at this, instead her smile only became deeper at she looked at Yuan ZeXi holding Meng Hui possessively.

(✿◠‿◠)

Yuan ZeXi was stuck, not knowing what to do as a shiver went down his spine, but it seemed like god hadn't forsaken him after all. Qiu Yue's phone rang and she stepped aside to answer it.

"FengFeng! How much longer are you going to be awayyyy~ I miss you~"

Qiu Yue's voice was begging to be spoilt as she dragged out her words cutely.

"I'm taking an early flight, I have already finished my work. I miss you too. I can't wait to see you~"

Huo Zi Feng could feel his fatigue melting away with the magic that was her warm voice. He could never understand how this beautiful girl could instantly brighten his day, but he was restless to tell her that soon he would spend the rest of his life figuring it out.
