"Is, is it Fleeting Time?"

Hearing the voice, Xu Liunian turned around, and that familiar face appeared in front of her eyes. For a moment, she felt that her eyes were somewhat moist, and with trembling hands, she walked over and hugged the person in front of her.

"Sister Hong …"

It was no wonder he didn't recognise her just now. Perhaps it was to start a new life, Sister Hong had changed her hairstyle and even changed her style of dressing to something different than before.

"This is great, Fleeting Time! You didn't die!"

Sister Hong grabbed her hand and said excitedly.

After returning from the Yang City, Xu Liunian didn't even have the time to wash her face and change clothes before she ran straight to the Muse.

Sister Hong's hands trembled slightly as she pulled Fleeting Time's hair behind her ears. She carefully looked at this face that had appeared countless times in her dreams.

The two of them looked like they had just reunited after a long time. In this noisy and chaotic nightclub, they seemed completely incompatible.

"If you have something to say, go back and say it."

Hearing his words, Xu Liunian loosened her grip on Sister Hong and looked, Sister Hong was already crying.

But in reality, she was the one who had let down the Sister Hong.

After restraining her expression for a moment, Sister Hong nodded at Lu Jianqing, "Since Director Lu is here, let's go to the back!"

Xu Liunian answered and followed Sister Hong to the private room at the back. Different from the usual music that was jarring to the ear, the lights in the room were on, and even the tear stains on Sister Hong's face could be clearly seen.

As the two sat together, Lu Jianqing carried the wine to the other side of the table, not wanting to disturb their conversation.

After being silent for a long time, Xu Liunian didn't know how to start. Should sshe first tell Sister Hong how he didn't die, or tell her how she came back?

After struggling for a long time, Xu Liunian opened her mouth, "I'm sorry …"

She didn't know what else to say.

"Fleeting Time, what's going on?"

The news spread so fast that the Sister Hong had naturally seen it. When she discovered Xu Liunian, she did not dare believe it and only thought that it was someone who looked the same.

Because the news of the fire at that time was spread and it was confirmed that the person was dead, and now it had suddenly appeared, Sister Hong was naturally extremely suspicious.

After carefully organizing the words in her mind, Xu Liunian took a deep breath and said.

"Sister Hong, I have to apologize to you. At that time, I let you go on purpose, but I didn't leave anything behind. I just wanted you to think that I was dead."

Sister Hong's face was full of shock. She couldn't understand why Xu Liunian would do such a thing.

At that time, she knew that Fleeting Time wouldn't be able to come out, and his entire body was about to collapse. She didn't think that her escape would bring Fleeting Time's death.

Until now, she had always been immersed in guilt towards Xu Liunian. She had always felt that she had caused Fleeting Time's death, but now she said such words, the Sister Hong did not understand.

"Why are you doing this?"

Sister Hong could not understand at all, she had no reason to do so!

"Sister Hong, I just want to start a new life. I want Xu Liunian to disappear from the world, so that I can start anew."

Xu Liunian was so excited by her words that she completely forgot there was another Lu Jianqing by her side who was coldly looking at everything.

His eyes narrowed as he listened to her explain the situation, but he did nothing but listen.

Fleeting Time, I know you wanted to leave the Muse a long time ago. Back then when you said you wanted to leave, I was very happy for you, but I didn't expect that before you could redeem yourself, a fire would happen.

What happened at that time was still vivid in his mind. Sister Hong was a bit lost in thought, as if he remembered the feeling of flames burning his skin.

You want to leave?

Lu Jianqing glanced at Xu Liunian who was behind him. How come he never knew that she wanted to leave? Why had she never mentioned it to him?

He wanted to get up and interrogate her, but Lu Jianqing managed to restrain himself. He misunderstood her just now because he did not hear her explain clearly, so he decided to listen to what she had to say first.

It wasn't easy to meet her again, and Xu Liunian didn't want to make the atmosphere become so serious. Hence, she brought a cup of wine from the table and handed it over to the Sister Hong with a smile.

"Sister Hong, you must be laughing at me, I really can't afford to pay the ransom in Muse. I'm afraid that even if you know that I'm alive, you still want me to come back to work, so I just secretly ran away. I didn't tell anyone, at least I wouldn't need the ransom if I died, right?"

In order to take care of Sister Hong's emotions, even if she didn't think this way, she could only say this.

Sure enough, Sister Hong was amused by her words and patted her shoulder.

"Why can't I afford it?" Isn't there still that Cen … "

Hearing that, Xu Liunian immediately covered Sister Hong's mouth with her hands, her eyes staring straight at her, and she kept looking behind him.

It was only now that Sister Hong remembered that Lu Jianqing was still sitting in his room. Because of Fleeting Time, these two ancestors had been tormenting him quite a bit.

When Lu Jianqing was still alive, he would bring Fleeting Time away several times, in front of everyone else, without giving Cen Linrong any face.

Even if she was already dead, the two companies had fought for her for quite a long time, but in the end, it was still Lu Jianqing who took the lead.

Hence, if she mentioned Cen Linrong now, the ice cube beside her would definitely not let Fleeting Time off.

Sister Hong nodded his head as if she understood the situation and zipped her mouth. She even raised his head to look at Lu Jianqing who was sitting opposite of him, as if she did not notice anything.

Xu Liunian heaved a sigh of relief, "Sister Hong, I just returned today, afraid that you would be worried, so I came to visit you. But I didn't stay for long, I should be leaving soon."

She was afraid that there were too many mistakes in her words, and it would be better for her to quickly leave, so when she finds a chance in the future that Lu Jianqing wasn't around, she could properly apologize to Sister Hong.

"Mm, look at you. Your hair is in such a mess and your makeup has been used. You being able to think about coming to see me and make me feel at ease makes me very happy. In the future, I don't have anything to worry about anymore."

There were people waiting at the side. Sister Hong didn't know what to say, so she stood up and prepared to send her off.

Lu Jianqing drank all the wine and left the room. Sister Hong gave a few more orders and then sent her out.

Following behind Lu Jianqing, Xu Liunian also lost his temper. She did not know whether Lu Jianqing had heard it or not, it was better to be a little more honest now.

After all, the only person she could rely on now was Lu Jianqing.

As if they had agreed upon it beforehand, no one spoke on the way back, only until the car stopped in front of the Lu Family did Xu Liunian let out a sigh of relief.
