Liu Jian pushed Autumn Wind's feet off his legs and ran over, alternating sides as if holding a hot potato. He reached in front of Autumn Wind and exclaimed, "So this is the dirty box!"
The box was marked with patches of black and red. Autumn Wind reached out to touch it and licked it with his tongue; it was sweet, likely from some ketchup that had spilled in the chaos. He glanced at Liu Jian and said, "Stop pretending. If you want to see it, just open it! Don't act like you believe me so much..."
Before Autumn Wind could finish speaking, Liu Jian pulled a piece of paper from the table, placed it under his hand, and opened the box. He immediately let out a cheer, "Oh my god! I really want to know if that guy faced any trouble at customs with this!"
The paper he had placed under his hand gently floated to the ground as he raised his thumb and pinched the item inside the box between his thumb and index finger.
When Autumn Wind saw what was pinched between his thumb, he couldn't help but shout.
A dazzling diamond ring nearly blinded Autumn Wind.
Liu Jian's expression suddenly darkened. After scanning the bottom of the box, he raised his head with a serious look on his face. He pulled out a chair, adjusted his collar lightly, and sat down gracefully like a young nobleman in a movie. "This thing is actually for me!?"
Liu Jian felt this way because there was a note at the bottom of the box that read: "Autumn Wind, please give this to your most beloved person and ask them to deliver it for you!"
It was signed by Li Gu.
Autumn Wind hadn't expected that Li Gu would send a diamond ring through Huang Zihe. Her lips trembled slightly as she awkwardly looked at Liu Jian. "Um... I’ll call right away to clarify..."
As Autumn Wind stood up to go back to her room for her phone, Liu Jian grabbed her hand.
Holding Autumn Wind's hand, Liu Jian didn't look at her. He squinted his eyes, carefully examining the authenticity of the diamond ring. After determining it was real, he brought it in front of Autumn Wind's eyes. "Looks like I have some competition now... But don't worry, I will never give him a chance..."
Autumn Wind stood frozen in place, staring at Liu Jian's face as he revealed a warm smile.
That smile melted her heart suddenly; she unconsciously placed her hand on her abdomen and gently rubbed it, managing to squeeze out a faint smile.
Compared to Autumn Wind and Qiu Mowen's direct involvement in this matter, Qiu Ruolan seemed to be caught off guard.
When Qiu Feng walked into the Dressing Room holding today's Newspaper, Qiu Ruolan was busy revising the script for today's recording, with the Hairstylist standing behind her, cautiously styling each strand of hair.
Ever since learning about the relationship between Autumn Wind and Qiu Ruolan, Qiu Feng had become more cautious around Qiu Ruolan. After thinking for a moment, she ultimately decided not to show the Newspaper to Qiu Ruolan.
As she attempted to fold the Newspaper, Qiu Ruolan suddenly gasped, pointing at the large promotional photo of the group on the front page. "Wow, they seem to be quite popular!" She put down her script, smiled at Qiu Feng, and then took the Newspaper from her hands.
Qiu Feng's heart raced as if it had jumped into her throat. She hurriedly glanced at Qiu Ruolan's freshly styled face, her mouth suddenly dry. She could vaguely feel her hands trembling, her mind swirling like a stormy sea.
Fortunately, just then, the ringing of her phone completely rescued her. She quickly grabbed her phone from a pile of clutter on the table and rushed out of the Dressing Room.
It was a call from Xiao Yuan, simply asking which package of noodles the Babies were eating.
After hanging up with Xiao Yuan, Qiu Feng suddenly felt weak all over. She couldn't understand why she had been so panicked just moments ago. Taking a deep breath, she prepared to return to the Dressing Room.
However, the Hairstylist slowly pushed open the door and stepped out, looking somewhat puzzled and shrugging helplessly. "It seems like Sister Sally is in a bad mood..."
Qiu Feng naturally knew the reason. After thinking for a moment, she decided not to return to the host's Dressing Room just yet.
Inside the host's Dressing Room, Qiu Ruolan was staring blankly at the Newspaper.
The tree diagram of Autumn Wind deeply hurt her eyes. She sensed that Autumn Wind seemed to be in big trouble. She worried that Liu Jian would argue with Autumn Wind, and she feared that Autumn Wind would be wronged. All sorts of negative scenarios flashed through her mind.
She took out her phone and pressed Liu Jian's Number. Before the music could even start playing, Qiu Ruolan hung up. She really didn't know what identity she should use to talk to Liu Jian.
Unable to resist, she pressed Autumn Wind's number. She wanted to hear Autumn Wind's voice to make sure she was okay. The music played for a moment before she hung up again.
After repeating this several times, Qiu Ruolan painfully leaned on the Vanity Table, a whirlwind of guilt, sadness, and heartbreak sweeping through her. She knew she might never be a successful mother...
...
Due to the rumors between Huang Zihe and Autumn Wind, the plan for y() to leave Taipei the next day had to be postponed.
The short manager appeared to be irritated by the gossip, but in order to create more public interest, he secretly invited Autumn Wind and Liu Jian to lunch at that Western restaurant again.
When the manager had the translator call Liu Jian, Autumn Wind thought he would refuse without hesitation, but he surprisingly agreed immediately.
Autumn Wind stared in disbelief at Liu Jian's decision: "Are you crazy..."
"No... I just want to formally meet that Huang Zihe. After all, he brought you such a precious gift..." Liu Jian said as he walked toward his large wardrobe.
After more than half an hour, he came out looking polished and glamorous.
Noticing that Autumn Wind was still sitting on the sofa in a daze, he felt a bit displeased. He pulled Autumn Wind toward her wardrobe and helped her pick out clothes one by one, saying, "Don't be like this; cheer up a bit..."
Once the outfit was ready, he held up a pair of high heels over ten centimeters tall and scrutinized Autumn Wind. "Even though you shouldn't wear high heels, just this once... bear with it for me..."
"Hey, does it have to be so formal? High heels..." Autumn Wind frowned, unable to understand Liu Jian's intentions.
"Just bear with it a little..." Liu Jian leaned closer to Autumn Wind and gently stroked his abdomen, then lifted Autumn Wind's hand and placed the frightening ring that Li Gu had given on Autumn Wind's finger.
The diamond ring sparkled even more under the sunlight.
After that, Liu Jian said nothing, but Autumn Wind understood very well that Liu Jian was expressing his request regarding the ring in his own way.
Based on Autumn Wind's understanding of Li Gu, she knew that at this moment, Liu Jian's curiosity about Li Gu far exceeded that for Huang Zihe.
During dinner, Huang Zihe repeatedly expressed apologies and gratitude to Autumn Wind, while Liu Jian's focus remained solely on Li Gu. He was like a child whose toy had been broken, desperately trying to find the culprit by any means possible.
"How did you meet Li Gu?"
"Are you two very close?"
"Why didn't he personally give the gift to Autumn Wind?"
"What is he working on now?"
Liu Jian fired off a series of questions, but Huang Zihe seemed unwilling to mention Li Gu, evasively dodging the inquiries.
Autumn Wind asked Liu Jian, "Why don't you just ask me directly about Li Gu?"
He thought for a moment and replied seriously to Autumn Wind, "Your answer is definitely not objective; it will be very one-sided!"
"But I didn't meet Huang Zihe when I was in the mainland; he doesn't know me at all. How can you be sure that his answers are definitely correct?"
“At least, the Li Gu in his mouth is objective!” Liu Jian still held his ground, leaning his face against Autumn Wind's shoulder, his breath brushing against Autumn Wind's face. “Hey, don’t worry, I’m just curious, merely curious!”
He blinked his big eyes, shining brightly like a spoiled child. “I really believe in you!”
After lunch, the manager provided Autumn Wind and the others with two invitation cards—tickets to a hot party where all the hottest groups from the company would appear, featuring every Korean group you could name.
Autumn Wind and Liu Jian exchanged smiles, sharing their thoughts through their gaze. Then Liu Jian spoke; he politely expressed in fluent Korean that Autumn Wind was pregnant and needed rest, making it inconvenient for her to participate in such activities.
Upon hearing Liu Jian's words, Huang Zihe and the manager simultaneously scrutinized Autumn Wind.
“Congratulations…” Huang Zihe immediately said, though his originally clear eyes suddenly clouded over.
Noticing Huang Zihe's unusual reaction, Liu Jian smiled proudly, thinking that soon Li Gu would know about Autumn Wind's current situation, and this enemy would be easily dealt with.
…
After parting ways with Huang Zihe at the restaurant, Liu Jian drove Autumn Wind straight home.
As soon as they entered the building lobby, Manager Uncle rushed over with a serious expression. “Mrs. Liu!” he called out loudly to Autumn Wind, who paused for a moment, unaccustomed to this title.
Uncle was an enthusiastic person; he usually referred to Autumn Wind as Sister Liu. Since learning that she was getting engaged, she had become Mrs. Liu, and in his mind, she had always been a Liu.
“Mrs. Liu, I need to talk to you…” He grabbed Autumn Wind, but suddenly noticed Liu Jian behind her and froze.
He cautiously pulled Autumn Wind aside, glancing at Liu Jian. Just as he was about to speak, something occurred to him. So he released Autumn Wind's arm and quickly walked over to Liu Jian, whispering to him.
Liu Jian's smile, which had always been on his face, suddenly disappeared. His expression began to stiffen, and his eyes started to show signs of panic. Uncle smiled and nodded at Autumn Wind while retreating to his workspace.
Autumn Wind moved closer to Liu Jian. His pupils flickered violently for a moment, but he managed to maintain a semblance of calm. Liu Jian's heart had always been strong, and Autumn Wind felt that he must have encountered something terrifying, similar to how their newly decorated home would feel if it were vandalized.
Autumn Wind gently placed a hand on his arm. "What happened?" she asked as she pulled him toward the elevator, but his body remained still.
After a brief silence, Liu Jian suddenly became animated. "Rahel's girlfriend is having a party this afternoon; let's go!"
Autumn Wind's alert radar quickly activated, sensing that Liu Jian was hiding something from her. He was someone who rarely kept secrets, and such behavior indicated that something unpleasant had occurred at home that he didn't want her to notice.
Ignoring him, Autumn Wind stood in front of the elevator again. The doors opened with a "whoosh," and she walked straight in, turning around to give Liu Jian a challenging look.
With her gaze, she communicated that even if the elevator were broken, as long as she was alive, she would find a way to crawl back home.
Liu Jian felt helpless and followed her in with his head down.
In reality, Autumn Wind soon regretted her decision.
