After talking with Brother Zuwei for an entire afternoon, she turned to look out the window; it was already dusk. She gazed into his obsidian-like eyes, feeling a pang in her heart. This farewell left her uncertain about when they would meet again. Deep down, she understood that this was not just a choice of lifestyle but also a farewell to her past.
Cheng Yi had given them space and had already left the restaurant to wait outside. Through the transparent glass, she saw Father’s figure and smiled faintly at Xiao Zuowei. Xiao Zuowei understood what she wanted to say and replied, "Don't worry, Shaoyi has just regained New North, and with the marriage alliance with the Jiang Family, everything is going smoothly. Nothing will happen. Even if something does, I will do my utmost to protect him."
Her face flushed slightly, knowing that her thoughts could never escape Xiao Zuowei's eyes. Her voice remained gentle and melodious as she said, "And you, Brother Zuwei, take care of yourself too."
His expression did not change; his gaze deepened a little. "Alright." He smiled faintly, but she lowered her eyes as if lost in thought. He looked at her picturesque features and found himself unable to guess what was on her mind this time.
She gently closed her eyes, recalling those narrow eyes and remembering the passionate kiss that had landed on her forehead—both profound and lingering.
She lifted her head and saw Xiao Zuowei's bewildered expression lingering in the air. She watched as he raised his finger to touch her cool, tender skin and wiped away a tear that had fallen. She was momentarily stunned, realizing she had been crying. Secretly laughing at herself for being so useless, she hurriedly wiped away her tears. He frowned slightly and looked at her calmly, asking, "Who are you crying for?"
"No one." She hurriedly turned her head away to avoid his probing gaze, but her heart raced irregularly. He looked at her; the beauty wrapped in sadness left him confused. He thought that his understanding of her was slowly dissipating like the gentle breeze.
She turned back to look at him, having regained her composure. Her watery eyes sparkled with clarity as she said, "Brother Zuwei, if Ruan Yu encounters any difficulties, please help him within your means."
So she was thinking of Ruan Yu...
He did not ask her what kind of feelings she had for Ruan Yu nor did he explore his own significance in her heart; he simply stared at her serene figure under the dim light, lost in thought before nodding and saying, "Okay."
She seemed relieved and smiled at him as she bid farewell. He watched her leave and saw her link arms with Cheng Yi before turning away into a thick darkness. He didn't know how long he stood there until he heard a voice behind him like a lark's song. He suddenly came to his senses and turned around to meet Yeh Zhenzhen's smiling face.
"Cheng Mosu has left?" Yeh Zhenzhen's gaze extended into the distance as she sighed, "I didn't get to see her today; I'm so frustrated."
He felt his mood lighten a bit and reached out to touch her head, smiling as he said, "Aren't you hiding over there, watching clearly?"
She pouted, dissatisfied, and replied, "It's all because of you. I wanted to have a few words alone with Mo Su, so I didn't come out to see her. You interrupted my meeting with my best friend. Hmph, tell me, how will you make it up to me?"
He looked at her indulgently, smiled gently, and leaned closer to her ear, saying, "Whatever Madam wants is fine by me."
"Alright then, you are punished to make me something delicious tonight." Yeh Zhenzhen was no longer going to make things difficult for him and broke into a big smile. She knew that Xiao Zuo still held an important place in his heart for Cheng Mo Su, so she wouldn't compete; she would just quietly wait and wish for both of them to be happy.
Cheng Mo Su got into the car called by her father. In fact, there were many people she wanted to say goodbye to, but thinking that she had now become a "dead person" in the eyes of the world and was about to leave for another place, she decided against it. Instead, she quietly enjoyed the scenery along the way, calming her own emotions.
Passing through the dark alley, encountering the first hints of neon lights amidst the vast crowd, she remained a dazzling presence. In the noisy times, she was still immersed in a different kind of tranquility. She had her choices, her nobility, her tenderness. A light rain fell softly, nourishing everything silently, just like her current mood—unexpectedly serene.
Before long, the rickshaw stopped. Cheng Yi tipped the driver a little money; the driver looked at them with gratitude. She smiled slightly and faded into the crowd.
On the deck, everyone was waving goodbye as they descended from the ship. She looked up at the darkening sky above and felt her heart grow heavy as well. She dared not think of Shaoyi or dwell on that most painful corner of her heart; just a slight tug on her feelings would spread pain throughout her body that she couldn't shake off.
This rain was meant to be gentle but turned heavy in her eyes.
Cheng Yi noticed her distraction and gently patted her shoulder in comfort. She turned back to look at her father and gave a faint smile. Cheng Yi frowned and said, "Su'er, you still miss this place, don't you?"
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly; the faint smile on her lips became even more indifferent. "No, I don't miss it at all." Cheng Yi looked at her delicate profile and couldn't find any words to say. He understood his daughter's thoughts; if Shangguan Shaoyi hadn't married Jiang Yating or if Jiang Yating hadn't become pregnant, no matter what turmoil arose, she would definitely return to Shangguan Shaoyi's side. But now...
He sighed and looked up at the sky.
Not far away, a pair of bright and sinister Eyes were closely watching them. The owner of those Eyes glanced down at a photo; the woman was many times more beautiful than in the picture. She wore a silver-white Qipao, her long black hair cascading down, and a delicate pearl earring dangled from her small, translucent ear, elegant like the pure white moonlight.
Such a beautiful girl was destined to meet her end today. The Assassin curled his lips into a cold smile, searching for an opportunity not far behind them.
Cheng Yi and Cheng Mosu were completely unaware that they had fallen into danger, still lost in their own emotions. After a while, she quietly said, "Dad, you said Brother Zuwei's child's Full Moon celebration, can I come back to eat?"
Cheng Yi paused for a moment and replied, "Didn't you promise him? Of course you can." He felt something was off; based on his years of experience, he sensed some movement behind him. He reached for the handgun hidden in his jacket and scanned the surroundings. When the sound of the Assassin's gunshot cut through the air, he pushed Cheng Mosu aside and pulled the trigger in the direction of the shot.
"Dad!" she exclaimed as she hurriedly got up from the ground and rushed toward her Father. Her slender hand clung to Cheng Yi's arm, but it was already stained with bright red blood.
