Qiu Hai walked into his Lounge, but after a while, he did not see the staff bringing Jolie in. After pacing a few times, he stepped out of the Lounge to check the situation.
Jolie had actually been sent to Qiu Ruolan's resting room, and Liu Jian stood awkwardly at the door, unsure of what to do.
As soon as Jolie entered the Lounge, Yu immediately stood in front of her, with anger written all over Autumn Wind's face as he slowly rose from the corner.
Although he knew they had sent her to the wrong room, Liu Jian was helplessly looking around, realizing that taking Jolie away like this would make it seem like they were covering for her.
When Qiu Hai stepped out of the Lounge, he locked eyes with Liu Jian, who shrugged helplessly at him.
Seeing Liu Jian in such a predicament, Qiu Hai sighed deeply and walked over to him.
The two of them entered together.
Yu already knew that Jolie was behind the trouble. The moment Jolie was sent into the Lounge by the staff, Yu rushed to stand in front of her.
"You thief calling for a thief, what exactly do you want to do!" she said, hands on her hips, looking fierce.
Jolie turned her head away and remained silent.
Autumn Wind suddenly felt a sense of responsibility. Even though Qiu Ruolan was not an outsider and Y() was present, causing such a scene would only make them look foolish!
So he stepped forward to pull Yu back, signaling her to be quiet.
Yu didn't think much of it. "Is there really someone so shameless? It's one thing to do it yourself, but to push it onto someone else and act so natural about it!"
As soon as Qiu Hai entered, he heard Yu fiercely accusing Jolie. Although Jolie's actions were excessive, she was still part of the HK management. Being scolded like this by Yu was something Qiu Hai found hard to accept.
He frowned, wanting to stop it, but Liu Jian spoke up first, "Sister Jiang, this is our matter in HK, let's handle it ourselves!"
"..." The words from Liu Jian left her speechless, as if her mouth were stuffed with countless cotton candies.
She lowered her head and retreated behind Autumn Wind.
Jolie did not expect Liu Jian to speak for her, and tears streamed down her face. "Jaes, you have to listen to my explanation, it's not what you think! I don't know what exactly happened!" Jolie threw herself onto Liu Jian, crying uncontrollably.
Qiu Hai frowned as he watched Jolie's performance, reminiscent of the awkwardness in the corner. Such disgraceful behavior was too embarrassing for outsiders to witness...
He took a few steps back and gestured to the staff at the door to escort the others away, but the staff looked conflicted.
"What’s going on? Has something happened again?" As Qiu Hai spoke, his eyes scanned the members of the group, landing on Huang Zihe, who was staring intently at Autumn Wind with a concerned and ambiguous expression. Qiu Hai felt a twinge of jealousy. "Get them out of here..."
"Qiu Dong, Manager Liu has already arranged it, but both the front and back doors are surrounded by reporters! We can't get anyone out!"
"Then let them go to a separate lounge..." Before Qiu Hai could finish his sentence, Jolie suddenly knelt at Liu Jian's feet with a thud.
"You have to believe me; someone must be framing me!" Her sobbing voice echoed.
As Jolie knelt at Liu Jian's feet, her skirt rode up an inch due to her position, causing everyone present to gasp in unison.
It was truly an unsightly scene, almost making it a laughingstock. Liu Jian's face turned red instantly as he bent down, intending to help Jolie up.
Liu Jian's movements were slow and gentle; if one were to forget what had just happened, it would seem like a prince rescuing a distressed princess.
As he supported Jolie's arms with his own, preparing to lift her from the ground...
"Autumn Wind," Fish cried out, "what's wrong with you?"
Autumn Wind's face turned pale, her eyes rolled back, and she leaned against Fish's arm. Fish struggled to support her, as Autumn Wind slowly began to slide down to the ground.
"Autumn Wind, don't scare me! Did you catch a chill because you didn't change your clothes in time?" Fish shouted while trying to hold up Autumn Wind's body.
Liu Jian released his arms from around Jolie's shoulders and rushed to Autumn Wind's side, wrapping his arms around her.
Jolie had just lifted her lower body off the ground, only to come crashing down again. She glared at Autumn Wind, who had just fainted, filled with resentment...
Qiu Ruolan immediately bent down beside Autumn Wind, her hand gently gliding over Autumn Wind's face. "Autumn Wind, please be okay. It's all my fault; it's all my fault!" The incident with changing clothes had struck a chord in her heart. If she hadn't insisted on using "Ocean Blue," perhaps none of this would have happened.
As everyone called out to her, Autumn Wind slowly opened her eyes. She first saw Qiu Ruolan's anxious face and realized she was lying in Liu Jian's arms. Instinctively, she tried to pull away a bit and caught a glimpse of Qiu Hai's profile.
In that moment before she fainted, she truly wished it was Qiu Hai holding her.
"I want to go home!" Autumn Wind whispered tremulously.
"Okay, okay, we'll go home right away!" Qiu Ruolan said as she reached out to help lift Autumn Wind.
But Liu Jian stood in front of her. He hooked one arm around Autumn Wind's legs and the other across her back, lifting her in a princess carry.
Autumn Wind did not resist; she curled up like a cat in Liu Jian's embrace.
If this were a silent film, the surroundings would be quiet. The camera focused on Autumn Wind and Liu Jian as they moved, passing by Jolie lying on the ground and Qiu Hai frozen in place.
Qiu Ruolan smiled contentedly, Fish stared in surprise with her mouth agape, Jolie looked unwilling, and Qiu Hai was filled with pain and conflict.
Of course, you can also see the strange smile on the handsome face of Huang Zihe in the corner.
Jolie looked desperately at Liu Jian as he walked past her, holding Autumn Wind. She propped herself up on the ground and slowly managed to stand up.
Adjusting her outfit, disappointment and anger flickered in her bright eyes as she vaguely sensed a killing intent directed at her. Jolie searched for its source.
She saw Huang Zihe sitting in the corner, his face looking so sorrowful—no, it was an angry face?
Did he also like Autumn Wind? No, if that were the case, his gaze should be on Liu Jian, but right now, he was looking at Autumn Wind!
He was glaring at Autumn Wind with hatred!
A sense of joy surged within Jolie; perhaps she should find an ally. It would make it easier to take down Autumn Wind...
Amidst the chaos, Jolie focused her attention on Huang Zihe, quietly observing this beautiful man shrouded in hatred.
The figures of Autumn Wind and Liu Jian completely disappeared from the lounge, and Qiu Ruolan immediately instructed her assistant to pack up and follow them out.
Qiu Hai regained his composure and quickly arranged for staff to escort Autumn Wind and Liu Jian away.
...
In the luxurious van of Autumn Wind, she weakly opened her eyes.
Liu Jian was not in the car; he was driving another vehicle closely behind, while Qiu Ruolan's car followed Liu Jian's, heading towards the villa in a grand procession.
Fish gently brushed aside the strands of hair that hung at the corner of Autumn Wind's mouth. "You acted so well, and the timing was just perfect! You didn't see Jolie's face; she really thought Liu Jian would help her up. Who would have thought... hahaha! Oh dear, she just fell flat on the ground!" Fish animatedly mimicked Jolie's recent disheveled appearance.
Autumn Wind smiled lightly, unsure if her earlier fainting was an act or genuine. She admitted that when she chose this outfit, she was indeed preparing for a possible fainting spell, but she never expected it to actually happen...
"Hey, you're really clever! I saw you! How could you insist on wearing pants? Turns out you had this trick up your sleeve. You don't know, but just now when Jolie knelt down, her skirt was just a little bit away from becoming a belly band..." Fish laughed so hard that he nearly fell over while patting Autumn Wind's leg.
Autumn Wind turned around and noticed Liu Jian following her. Suddenly, she felt guilty about her earlier actions. Was this a form of manipulation? Using Liu Jian's reluctance to part with her and everyone's concern for her just to embarrass Jolie...
The car Autumn Wind was in had just stabilized when Liu Jian was already standing in front of it, gentlemanly opening the door for her. Fish got out first, and as he turned to help Autumn Wind out, Liu Jian leaned over and pushed him aside.
With his broad arms, he embraced Autumn Wind, lifting her out of the car.
Sister Liu heard the commotion and opened the door, only to see a man carrying Autumn Wind approaching her. She quickly called for Ahe and Ah Wei, "Quick, see if something happened to sis!"
The two big men were teasing Oke. Upon hearing Sister Liu's call, Ah Wei jumped up from the ground while Ahe picked up Oke, following closely behind.
When they saw Fish and Qiu Ruolan behind Liu Jian, they all breathed a sigh of relief; it must not be anything serious...
"Sister Liu, hurry and open sis's room, turn up the temperature!" Qiu Ruolan's commanding voice came from behind.
"Yes..." Sister Liu replied as she headed upstairs.
As soon as Sister Liu opened the door to Autumn Wind's room and adjusted the air conditioning, Liu Jian had already carried Autumn Wind upstairs.
He gently placed Autumn Wind on the bed, and she shifted slightly, curling up under the covers.
"Thank you. It's getting late; you should go back!" Autumn Wind deliberately kept her tone cold, turning her head to the side without looking at Liu Jian.
Both Qiu Ruolan and Fish had also entered Autumn Wind's room. Hearing her words, Qiu Ruolan tugged at Liu Jian's shirt, signaling him to follow Autumn Wind's wishes.
Words were stuck in Liu Jian's throat, his lips trembled as he struggled to speak, unwillingly gazing at Autumn Wind, his eyes filled with pleading and reluctance.
Qiu Ruolan gave Liu Jian a firm push. "If you don't want to upset Autumn Wind, please leave quickly!"
Liu Jian sighed deeply and said softly, "Take care of yourself. I... I will leave now..."
With that, Liu Jian stepped out of Autumn Wind's room. The sound of his strong footsteps echoed on the stairs, gradually fading away.
After Liu Jian left, Qiu Ruolan gently closed the door. She walked to Autumn Wind's bedside and sat beside her, her hand lightly gliding through Autumn Wind's hair, her face full of concern. She wanted to speak, but before she could say anything, Autumn Wind's cold voice interrupted, "You should go too. I don't want to see you!"
Autumn Wind was angry at Qiu Ruolan for searching her. Compared to Jolie's schemes, Qiu Ruolan's unfunny joke hurt even more.
"Autumn Wind, don't be like this!" Qiu Ruolan's hand froze in Autumn Wind's hair, her expression serious.
"I'm tired. Just leave!" Autumn Wind turned her back.
"Alright, I'll go then!" Qiu Ruolan stopped pressing Autumn Wind and stood up. After reminding Fish to take good care of Autumn Wind, she left the bedroom.
