As dawn broke, Autumn Wind vaguely sensed someone standing by her bed. She slightly opened her eyes and realized Liu Jian was standing motionless in front of her.
"What’s wrong?" she asked softly, stretching her arm to rub her eyes.
Liu Jian did not respond, remaining as still as a statue. Autumn Wind reached out to turn on the light, and the bright illumination fell on Liu Jian's face. Under the light, Autumn Wind noticed that Liu Jian's face looked dull and lifeless, as if covered by rain-laden clouds. His eyes were bloodshot, revealing a hint of anger.
A chill ran through Autumn Wind, and a wave of panic surged in her heart. She quickly propped herself up, but when she glanced at Liu Jian again and then looked down at the floor, a flash of lightning struck above her head. The photos that Shaolan had taken of her that night were scattered all over the floor. Not only that, but there were also many pictures of her embracing Qiu Mowen downstairs at Li Gu's place.
Autumn Wind was stunned by the scene before her. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably. At that moment, she heard Liu Jian coldly say, "You actually did these shameless things... Didn’t you say nothing happened between you and Qiu Mowen? Autumn Wind... I was blind... Now I see your true colors. Let’s end it here..." With that, Liu Jian opened the bedroom door and walked out.
"Ah... please don’t go! Please listen to me... I didn’t mean to hide this from you!" Autumn Wind shouted as she sprang up from the bed, rushing barefoot towards Liu Jian standing at the door. "Please let me explain..."
But no matter how hard she tried, she could not reach Liu Jian. He remained coldly watching her from less than two meters away, his eyes filled with endless disappointment and anger.
"No, don’t go! Liu Jian, I beg you not to leave me..." In despair, Autumn Wind finally collapsed onto the floor, shouting loudly.
At that moment, Liu Jian suddenly floated in front of Autumn Wind. He extended his long hand to pull her up from the ground and said in a still indifferent tone, "You’re begging me not to go? Haven't you always been indifferent to me?"
"No, I care about you... Please, please don’t go... I don’t want to be alone..."
"Alone? How could you be alone..." Liu Jian smiled strangely, a frightening light gleaming in his eyes. "Tell me, what is your relationship with Qiu Ruolan?"
"Qiu Ruolan... no... no, we have no relationship... I don’t know her..." Autumn Wind shook her head, trying to push away Liu Jian's arm pressing on her shoulder but was grasped even tighter by him. "No... please... I beg you not to ask anymore!" Autumn Wind cried out desperately, finally collapsing again onto the ground. She sobbed loudly, "Please, please... don’t force me!" she murmured.
Suddenly, a gentle yet familiar voice came from beside her, "Hey, what’s wrong?"
"Ah... don't go!" Hearing this voice, Autumn Wind continued to shout loudly and hurriedly opened her eyes, only to find herself lying in bed, her back already drenched in sweat, while Liu Jian's sunny face was right in front of her.
"What... don't go, if we don't leave soon, we'll be late..." Liu Jian gently tapped Autumn Wind's nose with his hand. "Lazy pig, get up..."
It turned out to be a dream! The heart that had been hanging in mid-air suddenly fell into place. Realizing this, Autumn Wind weakly sat up in bed. "Why get up... isn't it the weekend? Are you going to play basketball?"
"What basketball? Don't you remember... Leo is coming back today. Didn't you say you would pick him up?"
"Ah..." Autumn Wind screamed again, "Leo... I actually forgot about him!" With that, Autumn Wind jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, getting ready with the speed of a new recruit in training.
But when she came out of the bathroom, she found that Liu Jian was already dressed and was excitedly pacing back and forth in the living room.
Autumn Wind glanced at the clock on the wall; the hour hand had just passed eight. Looking at Liu Jian's excited face in front of her, she felt inexplicably confused. She stretched her arms and yawned lazily, speaking with obvious annoyance, "Did you take some energy drink?"
"No... of course not..."
"Really? Why do I feel like you're really excited..." Autumn Wind said while searching for her clothes in the wardrobe.
"There's nothing exciting... I'm just... very curious about this Leo... after all, he is your childhood friend..." Liu Jian suppressed his excitement and stammered.
Liu Jian had previously had a brief interaction with Leo while looking for Autumn Wind, and now that he was finally with Autumn Wind, his feelings toward Leo were more than just "curiosity"; he was eager to know if Leo was indeed his "rival in love"! However, to the oblivious Autumn Wind, Liu Jian's behavior seemed a bit unusual; his excessive excitement gave off a feeling of ulterior motives.
Autumn Wind chose not to continue the conversation, closed the closet door, and began changing clothes.
After getting dressed, Autumn Wind tidied herself up slightly in front of the mirror. But upon seeing her somewhat haggard face reflected back at her, her previously calm heart began to panic again.
What did that dream just foretell? Am I really becoming more and more unable to part with Liu Jian? What if that dream actually becomes reality? What if Liu Jian really discovers those photos? What if Liu Jian finds out about Qiu Ruolan? And that Leo, he better not expose me!
Countless questions flooded her mind. Thinking of this, Autumn Wind couldn't help but sink into despair again, a cloud covering all her emotions. She sighed, pulled back the curtains, and glanced outside, only to see a gloomy sky that looked like it was about to rain.
Sigh, let time arrange everything on its own. After comforting herself, Autumn Wind stepped out of the cloakroom. Liu Jian had already made preparations to leave. He waved his hand, and Autumn Wind picked up the bag she had placed on the sofa. Then she linked her arm with Liu Jian's and they walked out of the apartment, both harboring their own secrets as they headed to Taoyuan International Airport.
Upon arriving at the airport, according to their plan during the drive, Liu Jian did not get out of the car. Autumn Wind walked alone towards the arrival area, where Leo's flight was scheduled to land at nine in the morning.
A moment later, Autumn Wind saw Leo appear in front of her, dressed in all white casual attire. He wore a pair of enormous Ray-Ban sunglasses, and a stylish necklace pendant swayed as he walked. He moved through the crowd with reckless abandon, completely ignoring a fashionable beauty behind him who was wearing high heels over ten centimeters tall.
The beauty attempted several times to get close to Leo with intimate gestures but was ruthlessly brushed off each time.
Leo suddenly stopped in his tracks and scanned the crowd at the arrival area. He quickly spotted Autumn Wind hidden among the throng of people. He took off his sunglasses and smiled as he walked towards her.
However, during the moment Leo stopped, the beauty swiftly positioned herself next to him and linked her arm with his. As Leo tried to approach Autumn Wind, he found himself unable to move forward because of her grip.
Leo shot a disgusted glance at the woman beside him before tossing his suitcase in front of her. The beauty looked momentarily taken aback but then happily grabbed the suitcase. Seizing the opportunity, Leo shook off her arm and quickened his pace towards Autumn Wind.
This scene did not escape Autumn Wind's notice. Her mind raced as she quickly analyzed the situation between Leo and that woman. Autumn Wind thought to herself that if she wasn't mistaken, that woman must be Leo's fiancée!
Autumn Wind smiled and nodded at Leo. However, when she intended to shift her gaze towards the woman to greet her with a look, she was suddenly embraced by Leo. Following that, Leo's somewhat exaggerated voice came through: "I'm so glad to see you! I've been thinking about you every day!"
At this moment, the sexy beauty had also approached Autumn Wind. Seeing Leo tightly hugging Autumn Wind caused her previously smiling face to freeze instantly. Her lips trembled, nostrils flared slightly, and her eyes widened with a glimmer of light.
Autumn Wind immediately struggled out of Leo's embrace and deliberately took two steps back. She then forced a smile and softly said to the sexy woman: "Don't... don't misunderstand. I'm Autumn Wind, a friend who grew up with Leo... You shouldn't listen to what he just said..."
Hearing the explanation of Autumn Wind, the beauty, who had been feeling wronged, suddenly regained her calmness. "You are Autumn Wind? I've heard of you from Jak. Nice to meet you, Jak, I am Ina, Leo's fiancée..."
Jak? Fiancée? Ex-boyfriend? Oh, this sounds quite exciting, Autumn Wind thought to herself. She turned her gaze to Leo and noticed that his previously cheerful face was now clouded with worry. He shot Autumn Wind a venomous glare, his lips trembling slightly.
Years of tacit understanding allowed Autumn Wind to immediately read that Leo was blaming her for not continuing the act. Essentially, he had wanted Autumn Wind to pretend to be his girlfriend to completely diminish Ina's confidence.
Sigh, I’m not that foolish to be your girlfriend and get myself into trouble. How would I explain myself when I see Liu Jian after leaving the airport? I would definitely be exposed. Autumn Wind thought.
With that in mind, Autumn Wind ignored Leo's cold glare and turned to chat warmly with Ina. Women can always find topics that belong to them.
Leo had tried countless times to talk to Autumn Wind, but because she and Ina spoke too quickly, he couldn't interject. Just as he was about to voice his complaints, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen and then looked thoughtfully at Autumn Wind, before hanging up.
Leo raised his head and said to Autumn Wind: "Did you take the bus here? Should we take a taxi..."
But before he could finish, the phone rang again. This time, Leo felt a bit awkward. He took out his phone, stepped back a few paces, and answered the call. "Hmm... okay, I understand... good..."
Watching Leo act so secretively made Autumn Wind feel uneasy; she frowned in disgust. Sigh, who else could be calling him at this time besides that annoying person?
