Qiao Ying watched that figure, slowly stopping her footsteps.
Then she stood in place, watching him.
Under the moonlight, the man's posture was upright, his cold and hard profile submerged in the night, his expression unseen. The night wind was quite cold.
Qin Hanyue stood in front of the empty villa, looking at the pitch-black, empty villa. His mind was filled with the surveillance video from the auto repair shop - the scene of Qiao Ying standing to the side watching Xiao He repairing the car.
Suddenly hearing movement, he turned to look and saw Qiao Ying walking towards him.
Qiao Ying walked over: "How long have you been waiting?"
As she walked closer, she smelled a strong scent of smoke coming from him. Looking at Qin Hanyue, his complexion was more haggard and exhausted than she had ever seen, with faint dark circles under his eyes, and he had also lost some weight.
It seemed he had indeed been very busy recently.
Qin Hanyue smiled gently at the girl in front of him, speaking gently: "I just got out of the car." That's what he said.
Qiao Ying had messaged Qin Hanyue, thinking he wouldn't come, but unexpectedly not only did he come, he had waited for her outside the door for a few hours.
"The passcode for the front gate is 710710," Qiao Ying told him.
Qin Hanyue actually already knew the passcode, but every time he came he would still ring the doorbell, even having stood outside and waited all night tonight he didn't say to just open the door and go in on his own. After all, even though he knew the code, that didn't mean he could just come and go as he pleased.
And now Qiao Ying was taking the initiative to tell him the passcode, which was equal to giving him the keys to the villa. The meaning was different.
"Okay," Qin Hanyue smiled and acknowledged.
There was two seconds of awkward silence, then he couldn't help asking: "Coming back so late, did you get the matter resolved?"
He was secretly probing, but Qiao Ying didn't hide it and just told him what had happened: "Xiao He's mother suddenly took ill."
Hearing this, Qin Hanyue nodded slightly without speaking.
He handed the chicken soup he was holding to Qiao Ying, saying: "I stewed this chicken soup for you. Don't overexert yourself with all that tutoring recently."
Qiao Ying took it: "Come in and sit for a bit?"
Qin Hanyue: "No, it's too late, you should eat and rest early."
Qiao Ying: "Mm."
Although the conversation seemed to have ended, Qin Hanyue lingered and didn't move his legs.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for over half a month, and now they were speechless for a moment when looking at each other. It seemed there were things hidden in both their hearts.
Qin Hanyue: "Then I'll get going."
Qiao Ying stood in place watching his retreating figure, her lips moved slightly as if hesitating. But after hesitating for just a moment, she soon spoke up.
"Qin Hanyue."
Speaking his name aloud, Qiao Ying's mood cleared up.
Hearing her call out, Qin Hanyue turned around to see Qiao Ying lift her foot and walk towards him, covering the distance between them in just three quick steps.
Then Qiao Ying grabbed his tie and pulled it down.
Qin Hanyue was pulled down by the tie, not knowing what she was intending to do. Before he could react, the girl's fair and delicate little face drew up close in front of him, and her soft lips pressed against his.
Qin Hanyue's pupils contracted slightly, his stunned gaze colliding straight into the calm depths of the girl's eyes.
The scene was too shocking. Qin Yan in the car goggled his eyes to their widest in history, and almost screamed aloud.
The Black Water boss kissed the God of Armed Forces boss!
Right in front of him.
Qin Yan's brain exploded with a "boom".
In his excitement he accidentally pressed the car horn.
"--"
Qin Yan was so frightened he immediately pulled back his hand. He was going crazy.
It's over,
wouldn't those two black-hearted fiends destroy his corpse in a bit?!
Their breathing mingled briefly, then separated quickly.
Their lips had just barely brushed.
Qiao Ying turned and entered the villa.
Qin Hanyue was left standing stunned in place, not recovering for a long time.
Forget the people involved, even Qin Yan was stunned speechless.
Qin Yan didn't expect that the one taking such initiative with no sense of propriety, aggressively making advances, would turn out to be the passive one in the end?!
Was this reversed? Or was it not?
This was something the Black Water boss was capable of doing.
Silent but shocking when speaking up, the more Qin Yan thought about it the more he felt there was nothing wrong with it.
Miss Qiao should be this powerful and overbearing, she should be pressing Young Master Qin under her and then grasping control of the entire Qin family.
And it was so sudden, Young Master Qin probably can't handle it!
Seeing Qin Hanyue return looking completely normal, Qin Yan put away his bared fangs. He was so excited he could barely stand it, and wouldn't be bothered even if Young Master Qin beat him up later over that car horn.
Young Master endured till his head finally emerged, he finally got a recognized status!
His 30-year untouched lips were finally kissed!
Everyone celebrates!
It was a pity there were no firecrackers in the car, otherwise he would definitely have set off two strings. He was several tens of thousands of times more excited than when he himself got a girlfriend.
On the ride home, if Qin Yan's eyes didn't have to watch the road, he would have plastered them to the rearview mirror.
In the rearview mirror was a masculine face, slightly taut, with no visible abnormal expression. Except for the dazed look in his eyes exposing his inner turmoil.
Young Master, if you want to smile then smile, don't hold it in - Qin Yan held in this sentence for a long time before managing to restrain it.
The two of them endured the whole ride.
Watching Qin Hanyue remain tranquil the entire time, Qin Yan even started doubting whether the shock had made him go silly, since he had no reaction at all, completely unnatural.
The car drove back to the Qin family residence, stopping at Qin Hanyue's dwelling.
Qin Hanyue opened the car door, got out and strode up the steps. He raised his hand, clutching at his chest area, and entered the villa.
Seeing his clutching chest action, Qin Yan's expression was rich: So Young Master endured and put up a front the whole ride?! As expected the calm was just an act!
This reaction... although exaggerated, was definitely genuine!
There would be no sleep tonight.
Tomorrow when he woke up and saw how dark Young Master Qin's eye circles had become, he would know the extent of his agitation tonight.
Early next morning Qin Yan eagerly checked the outcome.
It didn't disappoint.
At first sight of how dark the circles under Qin Hanyue's eyes were, Qin Yan went over all the sad things in his life, twisting his face as he barely managed to hold in the loud laughter threatening to burst from his throat.
A few days later.
The answer sheets were returned.
Xiao He scored 82 points, a huge leap upward.
Looking at the test paper, Xiao He's emaciated face held not a shred of joy.
Qiao Ying said to him: "If it's really that bad I can prescribe some sleeping pills for you."
Xiao He shook his head, not speaking.
Ever since that night Xiao He's mother suddenly took ill, her condition had remained worrying, deteriorating rapidly.
And Xiao He... also seemed to have some mental issues.
That afternoon before class, Xiao He took a phone call then rushed out of the classroom.
By the time Qiao Ying noticed he was missing, a whole class period had passed.
After asking his classmates, Qiao Ying immediately hurried to the hospital.
The next day, evening.
A black Maybach with a license plate of five ones stopped outside the Qin Group Corporation building.
Qin Hanyue, in the middle of an ad hoc company meeting, received a message from Qiao Ying: [I'm downstairs at your company building]
Qin Hanyue raised his hand to pause the meeting, then left the executives behind and exited himself.
Taking the elevator downstairs, Qin Hanyue strode toward the company entrance.
A blonde Western woman had been giving the lobby clerk trouble, and upon spotting Qin Hanyue she immediately abandoned the clerk and latched onto him.
Qiao Ying sat in the car, gripping the steering wheel.
She didn't have to wait long before seeing Qin Hanyue emerge from the company building, a blonde green-eyed foreign woman following behind him.
Qiao Ying raised a brow slightly.
It looked like she was the female lead in the photo with Huo Chengdong.
Qin Hanyue walked to the passenger side of her car and got in.
The woman chased to the car exterior and knocked on the window, speaking French: "Mr. Qin, I really like you. I waited for you all afternoon."
That voice sounded a bit familiar.
Wasn't that the woman on the carriage wanting to whip her and Sacks back in Country C?
Qiao Ying immediately recalled this woman on the carriage was the same as the woman clinging to Qin Hanyue smelling strongly of perfume back then.
That casino owner, Smith's daughter, what was she called, Alice?
Qiao Ying said a sentence: "Chased all the way here from Country C."
Then she started the engine.
Qin Hanyue: "How did you know?"
Her eyes couldn't see at that time.
Qiao Ying didn't respond to him.
Qin Hanyue: "Do you want to 'greet' her?"
Qiao Ying didn't even think her worth it.
But Qin Hanyue was quite scheming and lowered the car window.
Outside the car, the woman was overjoyed, lowering her head for a look: "Mr Qin..."
Only to see a young girl sitting in the driver's seat.
Looking a little familiar.
Before she could get a clear look, the car revved and sped off, leaving the woman with a mouthful of exhaust.
