Due to the rivalry between Lin Yun and Liu Zhiyuan, the engagement of Autumn Wind and Liu Jian was successfully arranged.
According to Lin Yun, the engagement ceremony was set for January, but this was opposed by Liu Jian. "I think we don't need to wait until January; let's do it next month... I'll handle my work quickly, the sooner the better..."
"Next month? That's not much time..." Lin Yun exclaimed loudly upon hearing Liu Jian's words. She was clearly startled, completely ignoring Autumn Wind's presence, and said sternly, "Why next month? You can rest assured that I won't back out during this time. I, Lin Yun, will definitely follow through with what I start..."
"Yes... jaes, next month is too rushed... I think..." Liu Zhiyuan chimed in after Lin Yun.
Seeing that Liu Zhiyuan did not argue with him, Lin Yun could hardly believe her ears. She was stunned into silence.
Autumn Wind was also surprised to hear Liu Jian suggest next week and looked at him in confusion.
Noticing the three of them opposing him, Liu Jian chuckled, "It's decided then..."
"Jaes, I can understand your feelings, but I think we shouldn't be so hasty..." Liu Zhiyuan continued to persuade.
Before he could finish, Lin Yun interrupted him. Choosing to go against Liu Zhiyuan, she surprisingly agreed with Liu Jian's decision: "Liu Jian, since you're getting married next month, I can't just sit idly by... To show my sincerity! I'll take care of your new house. Autumn Wind can check out some places in Taipei and see if there's anything she likes. Once you find something good, let me know..."
"You..." Liu Zhiyuan was furious at being interrupted by Lin Yun. However, with Autumn Wind present, he couldn't continue arguing with her. He sighed in frustration and sat down on a stool without saying anything further.
"Alright, it's settled then. I'll tidy up the house a bit... As for the new house, we can take our time... We can decide when to get married after the baby is born..." Liu Jian slowly approached Lin Yun, putting his arm around her shoulders and affectionately resting his head on hers. "Thank you, Mom... You're the best..."
As Liu Jian made this gesture, he looked at Autumn Wind with a warm smile on his face. However, that smile soon turned bittersweet.
Was Liu Jian truly just afraid of Lin Yun backing out? Of course not; he was simply thinking about Qiu Mowen and hoping she could get treatment soon.
During his free time, Liu Jian found a hematologist who had been practicing for many years. He briefly explained Qiu Mowen's current symptoms to the doctor. The doctor clearly informed Liu Jian that leukemia cells could still be treated with surgery before they spread; however, once the cancer cells spread...
Liu Jian was uncertain about what period Qiu Mowen was currently in, but if he continued to drag things out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He called Qiu Mowen, urging him to seek treatment quickly, but Qiu Mowen cheerfully told Liu Jian: "I just hope to hand Autumn Wind over to you..."
"Then next month, I will hold an engagement ceremony with Autumn Wind..."
"..." Qiu Mowen had no words; laughter came through the receiver, "Everything is up to fate..."
Whenever Liu Jian thought of Qiu Mowen, his feelings became complicated. He simply couldn't understand why Qiu Mowen wouldn't seek treatment. Was he really not afraid of death?
...
In the following time, Liu Jian did some simple renovations in his room. He planned to buy some furniture that Autumn Wind liked, but after searching all over Taipei, he still couldn't find any.
While Liu Jian and Autumn Wind were shopping for furniture everywhere, Lin Yun's assistant unexpectedly brought information about properties for sale in Taipei. From the assistant, Liu Jian learned that Lin Yun and Liu Zhiyuan had a new competition; both claimed they wanted to buy a new house for Liu Jian.
To prevent Lin Yun from continuing to disturb his life, Liu Jian had no choice but to pretend to seriously choose a house, which finally got rid of Lin Yun's assistant.
After some time, Liu Jian selected about a dozen houses—some new, some old, some villas, and some townhouses. He sent all the information about the houses he viewed to Lin Yun with a bit of helplessness.
However, Lin Yun's response was always the same: "As long as Autumn Wind likes it."
So, Liu directly forwarded all the information about the houses he viewed to Autumn Wind. Upon seeing the details of the houses, Autumn Wind began to feel uneasy; every single one of these houses had various connections to where Qiu Ruolan lived—either in the same area or separated by just a street. There was even one house right below where Qiu Ruolan lived.
The thought that every time Qiu Ruolan returned home, he could clearly hear everything and then act like a good neighbor in return made Autumn Wind shudder with goosebumps.
Autumn Wind stood by with a smile while looking at the information, which made Autumn Wind start to doubt that the selection of these houses was not a coincidence but rather a deliberate conspiracy. "Which one do you like? Let's go take a look..."
For Autumn Wind, having a reasonable and comfortable place to live was already enough. She hesitated and looked up at Liu Jian, asking, "Do we really have to go see them?"
Liu Jian shrugged helplessly. "To avoid any disturbances, we at least need to check out a few. Otherwise, my mom will call asking what we want..."
"Oh..." Autumn Wind agreed, casually flipping through to a villa by Dazhi. "Let's go with this one... we'll check it out tomorrow..."
Liu Jian nodded in agreement.
Autumn Wind was truly uninterested in the houses, especially since this villa was next to Qiu Ruolan's villa. Accompanied by the staff, Autumn Wind and Liu Jian took a quick glance before leaving swiftly.
On their way home from the villa, they happened to pass by the television station. Autumn Wind sighed at the building, knowing that Qiu Feng and Qiu Ruolan were recording today.
Liu Jian seemed to see through Autumn Wind's thoughts and said, "Today, Sister Sally and Qiu Feng are recording, right? Aren't you going to go up and check on them and share our good news?" He then picked up a box from the back seat.
Cautiously, he pulled out an invitation card with Qiu Feng and Qiu Ruolan's names on it and handed it to Autumn Wind. He gently kissed her forehead, his gaze radiating warmth that could melt Autumn Wind. "Go on up; I bet they'll be happy for us!"
He looked at Autumn Wind firmly and placed Qiu Ruolan's invitation on top. "Tell her I'll take good care of you!" He suddenly blushed shyly. "Is this too inconsiderate? But please let her know you'll be very happy!"
Autumn Wind stared at him in shock; Liu Jian must know something!
Her eyes reflected fear as she didn't understand what was happening. In the end, she just nodded lightly, took a deep breath, and got out of the car.
Inside the car, Liu Jian made a gesture of encouragement, which only made Autumn Wind feel more anxious.
Autumn Wind quickly crossed the hall and arrived at the second floor, standing at the door of the host's Dressing Room, pressing a hand to her chest and scanning the surroundings with her eyes.
The door to Special Guest Dressing Room was open, and inside was a young woman whose name Autumn Wind couldn't recall, doing her hair. Her long, soft yellow strands danced up and down in the hands of the Hairstylist, resembling a snake.
Autumn Wind withdrew her gaze and focused on the door of the host's Dressing Room. The sound of laughter drifted out intermittently from within. In the past, Autumn Wind would have rushed in without hesitation. But now...
Now, every time Autumn Wind thought of Qiu Feng, her heart twisted into a knot.
Autumn Wind had wanted to approach Qiu Feng many times, hoping to sit down and have a good talk, but she could never get close.
She had seen Qiu Feng picking up Phoebe at the kindergarten across from Liu Jian Apartment. When Autumn Wind called out to her from across the street, Phoebe turned around and waved happily at her, but Qiu Feng simply took the child away without stopping.
When Autumn Wind called Qiu Feng, either no one answered or it took a long time for her to reply with a brief message saying, "Busy with work" or "Too busy today."
Autumn Wind knew she was avoiding her.
Taking a deep breath, Autumn Wind raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in..." Qiu Ruolan's voice rang out. Autumn Wind pushed the door open and entered the Dressing Room.
At that moment, Qiu Feng and Qiu Ruolan were chatting while snacking on sunflower seeds. When they saw that it was Autumn Wind who had entered, Qiu Feng nearly jumped off her stool. She looked awkward, her mouth slightly agape, her fair face flushed red. She swallowed several times before saying, "Autumn Wind? You? What are you doing here!"
Autumn Wind turned around and gently closed the door, a smile forming at the corners of her mouth as she met Qiu Feng's gaze. Then she lightly bowed to Qiu Ruolan, displaying an attitude of complete reverence towards her senior.
Taking a few steps forward, along with Autumn Wind, Qiu Feng's face trembled; it was clear that she was more nervous than during the host's Golden Bell Award ceremony.
Autumn Wind took out the invitation from behind and, trembling and respectfully, handed it to Qiu Ruolan and Qiu Feng with both hands.
For Qiu Ruolan, this was a moment to test her acting skills.
She received the invitation from Autumn Wind, gently pressed the corner of her eye with her hand, glanced at the cover, sighed, thought for a moment, opened the invitation, and exclaimed, "Oh, I was planning to wait until I have a daughter to invite Liu Jian to be my son-in-law! Congratulations!"
Looking at Qiu Feng, she slowly sat down on the stool, opened the invitation, and lightly touched each word on it with her finger. Her expression was stiff, and there was a hint of bitterness in her eyes. First, she looked up at Autumn Wind, then down at the invitation, then back up at Autumn Wind, and again down at the invitation. After repeating this several times, her eyes gradually brightened, reflecting an expression of envy. "That's wonderful! Congratulations!"
Autumn Wind wanted to express something further to Qiu Feng. Just as he took a step forward and was about to speak, a staff member pushed open the door and said, "Sister Sally, Sister Zhao, we're recording!"
Qiu Feng glanced at Autumn Wind and hesitated to say anything.
"Oh, it's time to start working again!" Qiu Ruolan said as she walked over to Autumn Wind and gently hugged him. "Congratulations!" After that, she turned to look at Qiu Feng with a meaningful sigh before walking out of the Dressing Room.
Qiu Feng stood up and made eye contact with Qiu Ruolan. She had no words but followed behind her as they walked to the door.
However, she stepped back again. Her expression was complex, but she mimicked Qiu Ruolan's gesture and gently hugged Autumn Wind.
