Qiu Feng's embrace was surprisingly warm, instantly melting the barrier between the two. As Qiu Ruolan and Qiu Feng were heading out to record, Autumn Wind chose to leave the television station as they exited the Dressing Room.
She skipped over to Liu Jian's car, fastening her seatbelt before he could say anything, her hands clasped together, feeling unusually cheerful.
Liu Jian noticed how happy Autumn Wind was and thought that she must have had a good interaction with Qiu Ruolan and Qiu Feng.
He squinted at her radiant face, feeling quite pleased in his heart.
After leaving the television station, Liu Jian drove around Eastern District. Finding that the fish shop was closed and realizing there wasn't much fun to be had, he decided to head straight home.
Just as he parked the car steadily, Autumn Wind unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to push open the door when she spotted a middle-aged man in a suit and sunglasses standing rigidly in front of the car.
"Ah..." Autumn Wind instinctively let out a small scream and turned her face toward Liu Jian.
Liu Jian was also slightly taken aback by the sudden appearance of the Man in Black but quickly regained his composure. He stared at the man for a moment and found him somewhat familiar.
So he opened the car door and slowly got out.
Seeing Liu Jian step out, the Man in Black moved from in front of the car to stand before Liu Jian.
"May I ask what you need?" Liu Jian politely inquired.
Upon hearing Liu Jian speak to him, the Man in Black bowed deeply. "Hello, Mr. Liu. I am here on behalf of our general manager to deliver a gift to Autumn Wind, Sister Qiu..."
"For me? A gift? From your general manager?" Autumn Wind realized nothing bad would happen after seeing the Man in Black bowing to Liu Jian. She got out of the car and asked curiously.
"Yes, it’s a gift for you..." The Man in Black pulled a set of keys from his pocket and pressed a control button; a black BMW parked next to Liu Jian's car flashed its lights. Then, with great respect, he handed the car keys to Liu Jian.
Liu Jian took the keys without saying a word and smiled while nodding at the man.
The man nodded in response and then strode forward, moving further away from the car.
After the man walked away, Autumn Wind approached Liu Jian, “Hey, do you know him? Why did you accept the keys...”
Liu Jian juggled the keys in his hand and then tossed them to Autumn Wind, “I think he’s my dad’s assistant... Someone is giving away a house. Someone is giving away a car, why not accept it...”
Autumn Wind took a few steps back to catch the car keys. With a clink, the keys landed in her hand. After getting the keys, Autumn Wind returned to Liu Jian’s side, “So your idea is that this is your dad’s way of preparing for battle by deliberately giving you a car?”
“It’s not for me; it’s for you...” Liu Jian corrected her, “Let’s go home...” Liu Jian slowly walked towards the apartment, mumbling as he walked about having a car and a house. If Jin Yu were here, they could probably buy a shop together; they wouldn’t be missing much...
Hearing Liu Jian mumble to himself, Autumn Wind quickened her pace to walk alongside him, “What are you thinking?”
“Nothing, nothing... I was just thinking if we should tidy up your things that have been stored in the storage room...” Upon hearing Autumn Wind's question, Liu Jian immediately changed the subject.
With Liu Jian saying that, Autumn Wind suddenly realized that all her belongings she had moved from Qiu Mowen and Qiu Ruolan had been haphazardly placed in the storage room.
Sigh. Alright, I’ll start organizing them tomorrow...
So on the second day, after Liu Jian went to work, Autumn Wind began sorting through the clothes she had left untouched.
In addition to physical items, there were also some virtual items, like the email account specifically used for serving Qiu Feng.
Opening the email account, an email popped up immediately; it was sent long ago by Qiu Feng. The content of the email was basically a reminder to Autumn Wind that there were still items left at the company.
Autumn Wind glanced at her phone to check the time and felt she still had plenty of time. So she dialed Qiu Feng’s number; it rang but no one answered.
Feeling a bit lost, Autumn Wind sat in front of her computer. Thinking about her current relationship with Qiu Feng, she suddenly felt directionless.
Unexpectedly, after a little over ten minutes, Qiu Feng called. Her tone was somewhat stiff and stammering, and it was clear that she was even more nervous than when Autumn Wind met Liu Jian's parents.
Now, Autumn Wind didn't dare to chat aimlessly like before, jumping from topic to topic with no substance. Instead, she got straight to the point about wanting to go to the company to pick something up.
Qiu Feng mentioned that she was at the company today. She then sighed and sadly told Autumn Wind that the company had decided to release another single for her, so at least she could take part in some year-end events.
Qiu Feng's somber tone puzzled Autumn Wind: "This is a good thing; why aren't you happy?"
She didn't answer Autumn Wind but instead asked, "You're here to pick something up, right?"
Autumn Wind replied with a yes, and Qiu Feng continued, "Then I'll wait for you!" Her tone was very cold, devoid of any emotion.
Ah, a rift had finally appeared; how could it be repaired with just a hug...
Half an hour later, Autumn Wind was cautiously driving the BMW 7 Series worth three million that Liu Zhiyuan had given her along Zhongxiao East Road. The harsh sunlight hit her through the windshield, creating a visual effect that resembled an overexposed photograph.
Autumn Wind turned the air conditioning up high and covered her knees with a blanket. The car was filled with the warmth of a new vehicle, which felt somewhat sad under the influence of the air conditioning.
Autumn Wind appeared completely focused. As someone who had held a driver's license for over three years but had only driven a few times, she constantly reminded herself to stay alert.
Gradually, Autumn Wind felt her mind going blank, replaying scenes of her upcoming meeting with Qiu Feng in her head like an endless reel of film in a cinema.
In what seemed like the blink of an eye, Autumn Wind arrived at the narrow alleyway of the company.
She was relieved to find a parking spot easily in this crowded alley; it was truly a good start. Autumn Wind parked gracefully, let out a long breath, and stepped into the company.
The reception area was bustling with activity; everyone was busy on their phones as if something significant had happened.
So much so that no one noticed Autumn Wind coming in. Autumn Wind reached into her bag, her hand twitched for a moment, then she grabbed a handful of air and pulled it out.
Perhaps she didn't even need to take out the wedding invitation; this kind of red bomb might not be something worth sharing with these older sisters.
Autumn Wind wandered around the office but couldn't find Qiu Feng, so she had no choice but to return to her old desk, only to find that Qiu Feng hadn't had time to tidy up her things.
In utter helplessness, she took out her phone, planning to call Qiu Feng, but unexpectedly, there was no signal. Autumn Wind sighed and decided to sit in the office and wait for Qiu Feng.
To make it easier for Qiu Feng to see her, Autumn Wind moved her chair next to the glass door, opened it a crack, and propped one foot on top. This way, she could see the people walking back and forth outside while also allowing Qiu Feng to see her.
Just as Autumn Wind settled into a comfortable position and hadn’t yet relaxed, Brother Kai, dressed in flashy clothes, passed by the door. He wore a fitted hugbss shirt, and his diagonal striped tie had a row of transparent solid color crystals on the tie clip. He still wore a bright smile as he leaned in and said, “I heard you’re getting married. Congratulations!”
Autumn Wind’s hand twitched slightly as she awkwardly smiled, “It’s an engagement…” Only then did she suddenly remember that she hadn’t prepared an invitation for Brother Kai.
Her lips trembled as she replied, “Thank you!”
Immediately after, Brother Kai’s face also twitched a bit. Autumn Wind knew that her “thank you” had effectively blocked whatever words he had wanted to say.
Kai’s mouth twitched before he hurriedly left, leaving Autumn Wind feeling a sudden chill down her back.
A few minutes later, the glass door was pushed open by a white cardboard box. A young man with short hair, wearing black-framed glasses and dressed in a gender-neutral style, was struggling to carry the box. He looked exhausted, beads of sweat trickling down his pale skin; he looked like a model you would see in a magazine cover close-up.
Autumn Wind thought this guy seemed too weak; he was exhausted from carrying such a small load.
The corners of Autumn Wind’s eyes couldn’t help but droop; her mischievous nature surged forth, and she couldn’t resist wanting to tease him.
Before Autumn Wind could speak, he spoke first: “Brother Kai, these are yours! Please check them.” It wasn’t the boy’s voice but rather that of a gentle girl.
Autumn Wind widened her eyes in shock, her heart racing. She was actually a girl. Autumn Wind forced herself to swallow the teasing remark she had intended to make.
Autumn Wind gave her a slight nod and then reached out to gently fiddle with the items, but the girl turned and pushed open the glass door to leave. Wasn't she supposed to check something for me? Why was my phone charger just a cord now? Where was the cup when I only had the lid?
It felt like scalding hot coals had suddenly been doused with Ice Water, and at that moment, the coals were sizzling and emitting white smoke. Autumn Wind imagined that when Kai had enthusiastically greeted her earlier, only to be ruthlessly shot down by Autumn Wind, he must have felt something similar.
Was this girl here to take revenge for Brother Kai?
Autumn Wind could only stare blankly at the clutter inside the large box, then sat quietly on a stool waiting for Qiu Feng. Another ten minutes passed, but Qiu Feng still hadn't shown up.
Unable to resist, Autumn Wind took out her phone again. This time, it finally had a signal. She found her name in the call log and lightly touched it; the phone indicated it was dialing.
At that moment, the glass door was pushed open for the third time.
It must be Qiu Feng coming, Autumn Wind instinctively hung up the phone quickly and looked up, only to be greeted by a face wearing a mocking smirk.
The owner of that face was none other than Chen Shanni, who had once made Autumn Wind feel both hatred and envy. Suddenly, Autumn Wind realized she should have known that Chen Shanni was the producer of Qiu Feng's new single.
