Chapter 260 - The Meeting

"Are you alright Su Ming?! You didn't get scratched by the debris of the pole, right? Let me check--"

Su Ci Yi bent down to see Su Ming's body, just to make sure of it. Earlier she was in a hurry that she didn't mind who can she trample with her speed. Nonetheless, they were not her priority.

"It's a-alright." Su Ming's voice trailed off in the end. Even herself, couldn't comprehend the flow of events earlier. When out of nowhere, she thought she'll be crushed by a large pole. The next second, there seemed a passing wind hauling her away from the crowd.

"Thank you Miss. I don't know if you didn't arrive on time, I'll be a dead meat by now. I will never forget this saving grace of yours. If you would like, I want to express my thanks by whatever means you'd want. Please do not hesitate to state it, for you are my benefactor."

Being cast as a stranger, a mere benefactor; there is a huge pain on her chest. An intangible pain that pierced her heart. This was Su Ming. Her only sister in the world. And someone who couldn't recognize her relative at all.

Su Ci Yi smiled bitterly. " No, it's alright." then she went away. 

She didn't want to talk to her that long. It just made her emotion turbulent and unrestrained. She didn't know what might happen if she will stay any longer. Since she could still control it by now, she will avoid that very source of her inconsistency.

"Wait, Miss!" Su Ming called on her but she didn't stop rather sped up. Then her shadow disappeared among the anxious crowd. 

Su Ming tried to find her, however, her search was futile. Anyway, she had this strong feeling that they will meet again. That lady whom she had been found too irresistible not to forget. It seemed that deep down to her inner core, something stirred inside and this meeting will eventually bound for her to be remembered.

Su Ming was hoping.

Hoping that no matter what this feeling will be...

She wanted to know this very reason.

When Su Ci Yi came to the cast, Ling Mo's joyful expression was plastered indicating that she had successfully achieved the role. She didn't know how but somehow the director approved of it.

In the end, she was cast without prior notice and the robe that should be taken off wasn't taken. Also, compared earlier, there was a special make-up artist assigned to her now and designated to flourish her make up.

As few details on her garments were added, Su Ci Yi already resigned to her fate.

Soon she was brought to the room with the whole team in-charge of her necessities.

From the far end corner, in the luxurious balcony a few blocks away from the shooting location, a man in his tight fitted long neck and black pants was leisurely lying with his back on his custom made Cambriole sofa which he specially ordered earlier.

His two feet were close to each other while his hand was neatly placed on his chin.

His position is pretty considerable to the location. There, he could see the whole thing happening from below. However, no matter how the crowd gathered and the people going to and fro, he could still recognize the person he was looking for the whole time.

No matter where she is, he will be able to recognize her. 

Qin Yu was quite baffled about how he had managed to develop a hawk-like eye that could spot her anytime.

"Boss, HuZao called a while ago. He wanted you to come back immediately to the office right now."

Qin Yu's shadow, who became a servant in the day appeared in front of him.

With him, he brought a glass of Chardonnay wine and handed it to him.

"Tell HuZao that I am busy right now."

Qin Yu's shadow looked at him in doubt. 

The person who was busy, was resting peacefully on the long stylish sofa while sipping a hundred-year-old wine, without a care in the world? This fella sure is busy.

Qin Yu have recognized the man's funny stare but just didn't it bothered him.

"Ah, tell him I don't have time right now. This matter is very important that it will weight my happiness and future marriage prospect. If I become an old senile lonely man, will he become a bride on the altar?"

The shadow: "..."

Not knowing what to answer, he remained quiet.

" Stop gawking and go.'

"Yes Sir."

Qin Yu returned to his laid-back posture and observed the shooting scene.

When the accident happened earlier, he almost jumped down on his seat and rushed to the scene in person. However, he hasn't even made a few steps when he saw her out of the crowd and already saved Su Ming in a flashed.

With a drooping shoulder, he went back to his current position and observed from the sideline. 

Sighing and lamenting on his 100 ancestors for his unsteady fate.

It really seemed that his Yi will never ever seek help from him...will forever be out of his grasp and hold.

No, he shouldn't think this way.

The future is bleak, things happening, no one can predict what might happen the next moment.

Right now, what he can control is the present time. What he only has, is the opportunity that he can grasp and control at the moment.

"Ming Er! I just turn my back for once and you were gone?"

Baronette exclaimed with a pretense look of worry in her face but deep inside, she was watching the show with absolute amus.e.m.e.nt. 

" Ai, I got into mess earlier. It's good that someone had saved me."

" Did you get that person's name?"

"Actually... I didn't. But rest assured. This isn't something that I will turn my back into. I'll find and express my gratitude thoroughly... I will," 

Baronette raised an eyebrow. A smirk appeared on her face.

"...I," This time, Su Ming's voice faltered. Seemingly in deep thinking of something.

" What was I talking earlier? Strange. How come I forgot about it? Anyway, let's head back now. This place isn't safe at all. The museum is way better than this crowded place.

"Are you sure you want to get out now?"

"Yes, yes. Let's go back. What are you waiting for? Come now."

" As you wish."
