Sitting in the car, Qiu Mowen suddenly noticed a crowd outside, with countless reporters blocking the entrance of the restaurant. Seeing this scene, Qiu Mowen sneered and said mockingly, "You didn't expect so many reporters to show up, did you?"
Chen Shanni's face was pale, devoid of any color. Her makeup was still exquisite, but there was no hint of aggression. After a while, she let out a long sigh and asked, "Autumn Wind hasn't come out yet..."
Her lips trembled as she noticed the serious expression on Qiu Mowen's face. She softly uttered this sentence and then dared not speak again.
Qiu Mowen remained silent, leaning on the steering wheel, staring at the throng of people. With the help of the streetlights, he saw that behind the reporters was Liu Jian's silver Mercedes-Benz. After a moment of thought, Qiu Mowen started the car and backed into an alley.
Once he had parked in the alley, Qiu Mowen turned off the engine and got out of the car, standing at the alley entrance looking towards the western restaurant.
Chen Shanni also wanted to get out and see what was happening but ultimately decided to stay in the car when she saw the terrifying look on Qiu Mowen's face.
About half an hour later, Liu Jian covered Autumn Wind's face as he walked out of the western restaurant, followed by a tall bodyguard. The reporters still seized every opportunity to get close.
When Autumn Wind and Liu Jian got into the Mercedes-Benz, the reporters immediately surrounded the car.
Seeing this situation, Qiu Mowen quickly jumped into his car and drove out of the alley, deliberately turning on his high beams.
The reporters surrounding Liu Jian's car moved aside upon seeing another vehicle approaching.
Liu Jian took this opportunity to drive away. As he passed by the alley entrance, he recognized that it was Qiu Mowen driving and flashed his lights in thanks.
Seeing that Liu Jian had escaped the encirclement, Qiu Mowen did not continue forward but quickly reversed and followed Liu Jian's car.
This led to the scene where Qiu Mowen was driving alongside Liu Jian.
...
The next morning, during breakfast, Chen Shanni thoughtfully prepared breakfast for Qiu Mowen and kindly placed two newspapers on the table: one was Fruit Daily and the other was Today News. To Qiu Mowen's surprise, both newspapers featured headlines about Huang Zihe being photographed last night.
Suppressing his emotions, Qiu Mowen flipped through them. After reading both front pages, he felt that adding the adjective "blunder" before this news would be more accurate.
It turned out that the Boss of that coffee shop was a senior of y()’s manager. Having always struggled with business, he hoped the manager could bring a few members to help out.
In order to expand his influence, this Boss spared no effort and invited all the personnel, including reporters. However, before the reporters even entered and the members got out of the car, the sharp-eyed manager noticed that y()’s leader—Huang Zihe—and Autumn Wind were alone together.
Thus, what was supposed to be a promotional event for the restaurant completely transformed into a defensive battle over idol gossip.
This kind of blunder left Qiu Mowen feeling both amused and helpless.
He then thought about his plan from last night; if Huang Zihe and Autumn Wind hadn’t shown up there, perhaps he and Chen Shanni would have been called by the coffee shop Boss to have their breakup live-streamed by reporters…
But why was Autumn Wind there… He wondered how things were between her and Liu Jian now?
As Qiu Mowen pondered this, he flipped over to the other side of the front page of Fruit Daily.
The information on this side made Qiu Mowen feel an urge to curse. Right in front of him was a large graphic of tree branches, with Autumn Wind as the central figure. From Leo, Yao Guanghao, to Prince Andrew, then jak, and finally Liu Jian, followed by Huang Zihe, the graphic vividly detailed Autumn Wind’s romantic history.
What surprised Qiu Mowen was that this news piece was written by ilsn.
Photos of Autumn Wind embracing Liu Jian, and another of her hand overlapping with Huang Zihe’s, made Qiu Mowen suddenly feel a deep sadness—a bittersweet kind of sorrow.
He clearly realized that while he had asked ilsn to investigate Liu Jian, that guy had also thoroughly investigated Autumn Wind.
He vaguely felt that the relationship between Qiu Ruolan and Autumn Wind was soon going to be revealed.
At that moment, Chen Shanni brought over a cup of warm milk and placed it in front of Qiu Mowen. He numbly accepted the milk and drank it down in one go like beer, then took the newspaper with him as he walked toward his study.
As he walked, Qiu Mowen forcefully jabbed his hand into the photo of Yao Guanghao and Prince Andrew, digging out dark holes with intensity.
Once inside the study, he immediately dialed Liu Jian’s number.
The phone rang for a long time on the other end, but Liu Jian did not answer.
At the end of the ringtone, Qiu Mowen sighed helplessly at his phone, suddenly feeling restless. His anger flared up as he quickly crumpled the newspaper in his hand.
While Qiu Mowen was feeling anxious, Liu Jian called from another number. Before Qiu Mowen could say anything, Liu Jian's cheerful voice came through, "Don't worry, Autumn Wind is fine."
Qiu Mowen inexplicably choked up; he responded with a sound, unsure of what to say.
"Before Autumn Wind left, he told me everything. There's nothing wrong. I'm heading home now... There are a lot of Huang Zihe's fans gathering outside, so I probably won't be able to work normally today..." Liu Jian's voice carried a tone of helpless laughter.
"What? The fans went to the office..." Qiu Mowen felt inexplicably emotional.
"Yeah, so many of them... All the security in the building has gone out to maintain order..." Liu Jian chuckled.
Qiu Mowen casually picked up a tissue, intending to wipe away tears but realized he wasn't crying at all and put it down. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, asking, "Why did you take Autumn Wind out first last night? The reporters weren't targeting you..."
"Hehe..." Liu Jian laughed heartily, "You figured that out. There's a tactic called 'making a noise in the east while striking in the west,' you know? Otherwise, we would have been stuck in that Western restaurant. We went out first, so the Korean group was naturally fine. If they were okay, then Autumn Wind would be fine too..."
"That sounds quite grand. While this did help alleviate the situation, have you considered that if any reporter gets too curious, they could quickly uncover Autumn Wind's identity..."
"Uh... I'm sorry, I didn't think about that!" Liu Jian felt a bit scared after Qiu Mowen pointed this out. Last night when he suggested to that manager that he and Autumn Wind go out first to attract the reporters' attention and then escape, he hadn't thought it through that much.
Qiu Mowen sighed deeply and said thoughtfully, "This matter should come to light soon!"
"What do you mean?" Liu Jian didn't hear clearly. Sensing Qiu Mowen's unusual demeanor, he asked, "What's wrong? Do you know something?"
"It's nothing; I just feel that reporters are getting more and more capable these days... They might..." He suddenly realized he had misspoken and hurriedly corrected himself, saying quickly, "In any case, you must take good care of Autumn Wind!"
"Of course..." Liu Jian replied, but before he could finish, Qiu Mowen quickly hung up the phone. The sound of beeping echoed from the receiver.
Liu Jian bit his lower lip and stood by the window, watching the crowd of fans surge outside with mixed feelings.
On the other end of the line, Qiu Mowen sat solemnly at his desk. He tightened his grip on the crumpled newspaper again and sighed deeply before throwing it forcefully into the corner trash bin.
"Ah..." Autumn Wind exclaimed upon hearing Liu Jian's description, "You're lying, right..."
"Why would I lie to you..." Liu Jian propped himself up from the sofa, took a tissue to wipe his sweat, and then walked towards the study, noticing that Autumn Wind had already opened the computer. "Oh, you can see for yourself how sensational it is..."
Autumn Wind followed Liu Jian back to the study and sat down next to him.
Liu Jian squinted his eyes as he browsed through various reports from major websites, then lightly nudged Autumn Wind with his arm, as if seeking praise. "If I hadn't shown up yesterday, would you have been torn apart by people?"
Autumn Wind placed her feet on his legs and rolled her eyes dramatically. "I told you long ago that I was going to meet a handsome guy. But you, why did you suddenly show up? This shows that you completely don't trust me!" Autumn Wind pointed at his nose with a fierce expression on her face.
Liu Jian didn't explain this issue; he couldn't tell Autumn Wind that it was Chen Shanni who called him and that Qiu Mowen had informed him about Autumn Wind's background.
Seeing that Autumn Wind's mood was unaffected by the news, Liu Jian suddenly remembered the box mentioned in the newspaper and said, "Let me see the evidence!"
"Evidence? Oh... that's something my friend asked Huang Zihe to bring me... I haven't opened it yet... It's over there!" Autumn Wind turned her head and pointed at the LV Bag placed on the shoe cabinet.
