Xiao Qi returned to the company to make all the arrangements, and then began his journey back to the Imperial Capital.

Sitting in the sleeper car, Xiao Qi gazed out the window at the passing scenery, lost in thought.

From time to time, a beautiful figure would flash across his mind, making him feel agitated.

Unconsciously, his hand reached into his pocket and touched the painting. The image in his mind became clearer, reflecting her calm and indifferent face. No flirtation, no pretense – everything was just so natural. Perhaps that was what attracted him.

Xiao Qi’s eyes swept over a figure, and with a start, he stood up and followed her.

“Yingying.” Xiao Qi called out before his mind could catch up.

“Sir, do you need anything?” Gu Beilin turned her head and looked at the handsome man, but unfortunately, he was not as handsome as the man she had seen before.

“Ah, sorry, I mistaken you for someone else.” Xiao Qi, disappointed, left a sentence and turned away.

“Is there something wrong with this guy?” Gu Beilin muttered.

“Linlin, what are you doing? Why are you still not coming over?” Gu Beihan looked at his sister, who was standing there dumbfounded.

“Brother, I’m coming right away.” Gu Beilin obediently replied, for she was afraid of no one but this brother.

“Hurry up.” Gu Beihan looked somewhat helplessly at his sister.

For some reason, he couldn’t feel close to this sister, always feeling as if something was missing.

“Oh, I’m coming.” Gu Beilin dared not waste any more time and hurriedly followed her brother’s footsteps.

Xiao Qi returned to his seat, feeling agitated as he ran his fingers through his hair.

The girl’s silhouette just now really resembled that heartless woman.

And the woman Xiao Qi was thinking of was also on this train.

“Cloud, does Daddy have any arrangements for us going back this time?” Chu Beiying looked at the scenery flying by outside the window and asked the Cloud beside her.

“Miss, we have not received any other orders.” Cloud answered her mistress’s question coldly.

“Oh, I see.” Chu Beiying nodded.

“Miss, here is your lunch.” Thunder and Rain brought the food over.

“Put it there.” Chu Beiying walked over and sat down at the dining table.

“You all sit down and eat too.” Chu Beiying wasn’t used to having people watch her while she ate.

“Thank you, Miss.” Wind, Cloud, Thunder, and Rain thanked her in unison.

“You’re welcome, have your meal.” Chu Beiying took the lead in picking up her chopsticks and started eating.

Wind, Cloud, Thunder, and Rain didn’t hold back and sat at the other side of the table to start eating.

They were in first-class seats with no other people around.

Chu Beiying didn’t know what she would face when she went back this time. But she had no other choice. Since she had taken over someone else’s body, she had to face all the unknowns that lay ahead.

Wind looked at Chu Beiying, hesitating to speak, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.

In fact, the silhouette Xiao Qi saw earlier was that of Chu Beiying. Just by a twist of fate, Gu Beilin and Gu Beihan had arrived at that moment. So, the two missed the opportunity to see each other.

Xiao Qi kept staring out the window, trying hard to think about how to avoid the blind date arranged by his family once he returned.

Even the youngest An Hao was getting married – could his parents let him off the hook? That was impossible.

So, Xiao Qi had to come up with a strategy beforehand to avoid falling into his family’s arrangement.

In the past, he could cope with his family’s arrangement when he had no ideas of his own. But now, his heart belonged somewhere else, and he didn’t want to compromise.

He wanted to find the woman who had disturbed his inner peace, no matter what, he wanted to give it a try.

Even if he were unsuccessful in the end, it would only mean they were not meant to be, and he would not have any regrets.

Xiao Qi wondered why everything had changed overnight. But before, he had known that the woman was not an ordinary person, hadn’t he?
