Autumn Wind looked up at Qiu Ruolan and forced a faint smile, "How could that be possible!" She turned to avoid Qiu Ruolan's gaze and walked upstairs.
Sister Liu stood at the door holding a black paper bag. Autumn Wind quickened her pace and approached Sister Liu, taking the bag and bank card from her hands. Her lips trembled as she was about to say some words of thanks.
The sound of Qiu Ruolan's footsteps came from behind Autumn Wind. "What is Sister Liu doing there?"
"Oh, nothing. I just asked Sister Liu to help me open the door!" Autumn Wind replied.
Understanding, Sister Liu reached out and opened the door for Autumn Wind. She quickly placed the black bag on top of a shoebox behind the door.
"Sister Liu, you can go out now. I have something to discuss with my sister!" Qiu Ruolan waved her hand, signaling for Sister Liu to leave.
Sister Liu exited the room and gently closed the door behind her.
As soon as Sister Liu left, Autumn Wind took off her shoes and collapsed onto the bed. The tears she had just shed made her eyes puffy, and the dizziness from just waking up from fainting gave her a feeling of unbearable pain.
Autumn Wind pressed her hand against her temple, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Qiu Ruolan walked to the bedside and lay down next to Autumn Wind. She leaned in closer, looking directly at Autumn Wind, and asked firmly, "Do you still have feelings for Liu Jian?"
The faint scent from Qiu Ruolan enveloped Autumn Wind, pleasant yet overwhelming. Seeing Qiu Ruolan's serious expression made Autumn Wind's heart tighten suddenly.
Realizing that her earlier tears had prompted this sentiment from Qiu Ruolan, she buried her head in the blanket and muttered two words, "No!"
Qiu Ruolan let out a puzzling laugh. "If there's no one, why are you so fixated on that Jolie? If there's no one, then why were you crying just now? Alright, alright, I won't disturb you anymore. I'm leaving, hahaha..." Her laughter trailed off in a series of chuckles.
The laughter was bright but felt eerie to Autumn Wind. Every time Qiu Ruolan let out such strange laughter, it seemed to precede unpredictable events.
She poked her head out from under the blanket. "What are you planning to do now..." Her voice was soft, clearly unheard by Qiu Ruolan.
The sound of high heels clicking on the floor echoed as Qiu Ruolan opened the door and stepped outside.
The room fell silent again as Autumn Wind buried her head in the blanket, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
Autumn Wind knew that Qiu Ruolan had misunderstood something, but she couldn't provide too much explanation.
She couldn't possibly say that just moments ago in her dream, she had seen Qiu Mowen applying a facial mask on her, nor could she admit that when she embraced Qiu Hai, she felt as if she were embracing Qiu Mowen.
Indeed, Autumn Wind distinctly sensed Qiu Mowen's presence from Qiu Hai; the same rhythm of heartbeat, the same warmth, and the same familiar sound of breathing.
Not knowing how long she had been lying on the bed, Autumn Wind felt thirsty again. She got up to pour herself a glass of water and walked to the window with the cup in hand.
Opening the window, she looked out at Qiu Residence, which was brightly lit; the banquet was still in full swing.
Autumn Wind remembered the telescope that Sister Liu had bought. She set down her cup, turned around to the back of the door, opened the packaging bag, and took out the telescope.
The scene across became vividly clear in Autumn Wind's view. For some reason, when Qiu Hai's face appeared through the telescope, her heart raced wildly, pounding joyfully against her chest.
This feeling was too overwhelming. Autumn Wind sighed deeply and retreated from the windowsill back to her bed, burying her head in the blankets again while the laughter from the ball lingered like a shadow.
She pressed her ears tightly, yet Qiu Hai's deep and cold smile inexplicably floated before her eyes.
Autumn Wind jumped off the bed and swiftly closed the window with a "whoosh," pulling down the curtains.
Why did Qiu Hai's image always linger? Why did his appearance increasingly resemble the outline of Qiu Mowen in Autumn Wind's heart?
No, she must not let this thought continue. Autumn Wind buried her head deeper into the blanket.
Soon, she fell into a drowsy sleep...
The next moment, Autumn Wind woke up to Qiu Ruolan's disturbance. Qiu Ruolan first touched Autumn Wind's face and said, "No fever! Everything seems normal!"
Autumn Wind adjusted her Bangs, "Hmm, don't worry, that was just an accident last night!"
Seeing that Autumn Wind had regained her spirits, Qiu Ruolan let out a long sigh. However, when she focused her gaze on Autumn Wind, she couldn't help but furrow her brows.
She pointed at Autumn Wind's body, "This is the new dress from gui. Did you really sleep like this last night?"
Oh, Autumn Wind suddenly realized that she had actually slept in her clothes last night and pouted apologetically.
Noticing Autumn Wind's guilty expression, Qiu Ruolan didn't press further. She stood up, "Change your clothes and come downstairs for breakfast! After breakfast, let Sister Liu take you to the specialty store."
"Okay!" Autumn Wind replied, watching Qiu Ruolan leave the room in a daze.
Qiu Ruolan had already drawn back the curtains early, making the entire room bright and cheerful.
Autumn Wind stared blankly out the window when a flash of light crossed her mind.
She fumbled around under the covers and suddenly grabbed a telescope. Without thinking, she jumped out of bed and hurried to the window to check on Qiu Hai's bedroom.
She saw that Qiu Hai's window was open, with a corner of the curtain fluttering in the wind.
Wrapped only in a white bath towel, Qiu Hai appeared in view.
With his lean chest exposed, Qiu Hai's fit and toned body glistened with droplets of water. His firm and sexy narrow waist and tight abdomen were adorned with sparkling beads of sweat, making him utterly breathtaking.
Autumn Wind felt as if she could hardly breathe; her head began to throb again.
Qiu Hai picked up a glass of water from the table and walked casually toward the window.
Quickly, Autumn Wind put away the telescope, hurriedly pulled down the curtain, and swiftly escaped from the windowsill.
"Sister, the lady is calling you for dinner!" Sister Liu's voice came from outside the door.
"Okay, okay... I'm coming down now!" Autumn Wind covered her wildly beating heart and stammered in response.
She was running around the room with a telescope in hand, and finally, like a bomb that had just been lit, she threw the telescope into her storage box where she kept her personal clothes.
After quickly changing out of the dress she wore last night and into her own clothes, she rushed to the bathroom, hurriedly washed up, and dashed downstairs.
In the dining room, Qiu Ruolan was sitting upright. If Autumn Wind didn't understand her personality, she might think Qiu Ruolan was brewing emotions for a new play.
As Autumn Wind sat down, Qiu Ruolan was drinking milk. She glanced sideways at Autumn Wind's flushed face and said, "What's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell?"
"No..." Autumn Wind mumbled as she took a bite of bread, keeping her head lowered to avoid making eye contact with Qiu Ruolan again.
"You should rest at home today; don't go to the HK meeting!" Qiu Ruolan had been trying to make eye contact with Autumn Wind. Seeing that Autumn Wind had no intention of lifting her head, she had to start the conversation herself.
Hearing what Qiu Ruolan said, Autumn Wind remembered that there was a meeting in HK today to select a general manager. "Oh, I don't think it's necessary for me to go..." Autumn Wind implied that Chairman Qiu Hai would naturally take on the position of general manager.
Qiu Ruolan elegantly took a sip of milk. "What I mean is that I can go in your place."
Upon hearing this, Autumn Wind lifted her head, her eyes reflecting confusion. "You would go for me?" Autumn Wind asked back as she saw Qiu Ruolan nodding seriously.
After a moment of thought, Autumn Wind replied, "Sure!"
Seeing that Autumn Wind agreed, Qiu Ruolan finished her last sip of milk and instructed, "Old Liu, prepare the car for me..."
With that, Qiu Ruolan stood up and walked upstairs, a faint smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
Autumn Wind continued eating her breakfast. Qiu Ruolan quickly came down after changing clothes, and Old Liu had already opened the door as Qiu Ruolan walked out.
Qiu Ruolan is a person who enjoys being the center of attention. She can be messy and disorganized in private, but whenever she appears in a crowd, she always wants to shine brightly.
This might be the key reason why she conceals her identity as Autumn Wind, and it could also be the biggest difference between her and Autumn Wind.
What Autumn Wind never expected was that Qiu Ruolan's enthusiastic participation in today's Board of Directors meeting was driven by a plan she had in mind.
This plan directly led to the rift between Qiu Ruolan and Autumn Wind.
Autumn Wind realized that Qiu Ruolan had already put this plan into action without her permission on the morning of the second day.
Qiu Ruolan had stopped Sister Liu from filtering the news from the Newspaper in advance. Firstly, Autumn Wind had already made her public debut, and secondly, Autumn Wind did not like reading the Newspaper.
However, no amount of planning can compare to the power of coincidence.
On the second day, Autumn Wind woke up unusually early. She was sitting on the sofa, lost in thought when Sister Liu returned from grocery shopping.
"Sister Liu, do you have today's Newspaper?" Autumn Wind glanced at Sister Liu.
"Yes, sis, here it is!" Sister Liu neatly placed the Newspaper on the table and then turned to head into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Autumn Wind frowned as she picked up the Newspaper and began to flip through it. Sure enough, as expected, Wang Jiaru and Yao Guanghao made headlines in the entertainment section today, along with mentions of Xiao Yuan and Qiu Feng.
It seems like I haven't visited Qiu Feng in a long time; today would be a good time to check in…
Autumn Wind thought to herself as she continued flipping through the pages while contemplating what gift to bring for Phoebe.
She was soon shocked by a piece of news: HK Board of Directors, Autumn Wind holds 5% shares, supporting President Liu Jiancheng!
After quickly reading through the details below, Autumn Wind was left speechless in astonishment.
Ah, yesterday Qiu Ruolan actually chose Liu Jian as the general manager. Didn't she hate Liu Jian so much?
Autumn Wind threw the newspaper aside and rushed upstairs, knocking forcefully on Qiu Ruolan's door, "Open the door, let me in!"
The loud noise woke Ahe and Ah Wei before Qiu Ruolan could open the door.
The two of them rushed out of their rooms almost simultaneously, but when they realized it was Autumn Wind making the noise, they retreated back inside.
"Open the door... open the door!" Autumn Wind shouted desperately.
Qiu Ruolan squinted her eyes and opened the door. Her voice was a bit hoarse, "Have you gone crazy again..."
Autumn Wind controlled the last bit of her rationality, grabbing Qiu Ruolan by the shoulders and pushing her into the room.
After slamming the door shut with a bang, she gently pushed Qiu Ruolan onto the bed.
"Tell me what you did yesterday! Why did you do this?" Autumn Wind yelled.
Qiu Ruolan snapped out of her daze, "Are you asking about my choice of Liu Jian as general manager?"
Autumn Wind stared wide-eyed at Qiu Ruolan, biting her lip in silence. She looked at Qiu Ruolan, waiting for her to provide a grand reason.
