"How do you know I will agree to you?" She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, feeling cold all over.
"Do you really have a choice? That one called Amin is so adorable. It would be such a pity if something were to happen to him!"
Tian Fei Nuo's cruel words echoed, and Ma Lele felt a cold laugh rise in her heart; so they had been waiting for her here!
"Alright, I agree!" she said decisively.
She had no other choice; she couldn't bear to let Amin come to harm. Otherwise, how could she face Wen Shaojun and her own conscience?
Tian Fei Nuo raised an eyebrow slightly; everything was under his control.
"But you must guarantee that nothing will happen to Amin! Otherwise, I may not be able to speak, but I can still write!" Ma Lele spoke again, showing no trust in the man before her.
"Deal!" Tian Fei Nuo replied readily.
Moments later, a servant brought in a bowl of thick medicinal liquid.
Ma Lele suppressed her trembling, gritted her teeth, and swallowed the medicine entirely. Instantly, her throat burned with pain!
Bai Anju.
When Wen Shaojun and Hua Nongying realized that Amin was also missing, both were completely panicked.
Hua Nongying lowered her head, not daring to look into Wen Shaojun's eyes.
The people Wen Shaojun sent out to search found nothing.
"Brother-in-law, Lele is missing, and it might be because she offended someone. But with Amin missing, could it be that someone from Dayue is unhappy with you?" Hua Nongying carefully voiced her doubts while looking at Wen Shaojun's reddened eyes.
Her words struck Wen Shaojun like a bolt from the blue.
He suddenly remembered that before arriving in Dayue Capital, he had rejected someone's request.
His eyes darkened, and Wen Shaojun slammed his hand on the table and strode away.
Ling Cheng, if this is truly your doing, I will spare no effort to ensure you have no place to die!
Hua Nongying watched Wen Shaojun's departing figure, her pretty face filled with worry. No, she couldn't just do nothing here.
Perhaps she could go find that person.
He is so capable; maybe he has a way!
That day, Luo Qingyun met Kisaragi at their usual teahouse as usual.
"Has there been any news from Ling Cheng recently?" the two sat in a private room, and Luo Qingyun asked in a low voice.
"There's nothing major happening, just quietly searching for talent and recruiting!" Kisaragi reported the situation she had discovered in detail. After a moment of hesitation, she couldn't help but ask, "How has Lord been lately?"
"He's been completely smitten by someone named Jie Yu!" Luo Qingyun replied coldly, feeling overwhelmed just thinking about it.
"How is that possible? Lord has never been interested in women, except for... Gu Yuniang!" Kisaragi exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise.
"The key point is that this Jie Yu looks exactly like Xiao Yun'er! I've been wanting to investigate her background thoroughly, but recently... I've been too busy!" Luo Qingyun initially wanted to mention that Xiao Yun'er was likely to appear in the capital, but after some hesitation, he chose to keep it from Kisaragi.
Otherwise, it could lead to a major mistake!
"Then I'll look into it! We can put Ling Cheng's matter on hold for now; we should first resolve this issue with Jie Yu!" Kisaragi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She hadn't expected Lord to have such deep feelings for Gu Yuniang.
However, the fact that they looked identical was truly bizarre!
At that moment, someone brought by Luo Qingyun reported at the door, "Young Master Luo, there is a young lady looking for you!"
Luo Qingyun raised an eyebrow. A young lady? He hadn't met any new ladies recently!
Seeing his expression, Kisaragi mocked him, "Go on then; I'll take care of things here! You should go settle your debts first!" With that, she stood up and quietly left.
Luo Qingyun smiled slightly and walked downstairs, only to find a woman standing at the entrance of the shop. However, she had her back turned to him, making it impossible to see her face.
He felt a surge of curiosity and called out loudly, "May I ask what this young lady seeks from me?"
The woman slowly turned her head, revealing a charming little face that was stunningly beautiful.
Who else could it be but Hua Nongying?
Luo Qingyun's expression instantly changed, staring blankly at her. For a moment, he even forgot what to say.
His heart was filled with mixed emotions—was it surprise? Was it joy?
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?" It was only when Hua Nongying spoke calmly that he gradually came back to his senses.
"No! How could that be!" Luo Qingyun immediately denied it. At that moment, he was far from his usual arrogant self; he appeared as innocent as a young man experiencing love for the first time. "Come on, let's sit inside!" He carefully observed Hua Nongying's expression while leading the way.
Seeing him like this, Hua Nongying couldn't help but sigh slightly in her heart.
If it weren't for searching for Amin and Lele, she would never have sought him out.
After all, she had hurt him deeply back then.
Back in the private room they had just left, Luo Qingyun kept rubbing his palms together. He didn't even dare to look at the woman across from him and simply asked, "Why... did you suddenly come looking for me? Is something wrong?"
He had never imagined that one day he would encounter her again.
Yet now, she was sitting right in front of him, which gave him an overwhelming sense of disbelief.
Is it a dream?
No, the woman's face is right in front of him; it is definitely not a dream.
But memories of the past echo in his mind, and at this moment, he recalls how resolute she once was.
That year, he was only seventeen.
It was just the first time he fell in love with someone, and every word and action of hers was deeply etched in his mind. Back then, Luo Qingyun was certainly not the carefree person he is now. At that time, he was infatuated with a woman named Hua Nongying.
He loved her so much that he would give up everything for her.
But in the end, she told him, "I'm getting married. That man is powerful and influential; marrying him will bring me a life of glory and wealth!"
And just like that, his heart shattered as he left.
Years later, all of this feels like a dream.
Hua Nongying's face also shows a hint of embarrassment. The aroma of tea fills the small room, and amidst the swirling smoke, she struggles to speak, "I know it’s presumptuous of me to seek you out this time, but I really have no other choice. In Dayue, you are the only person I know!"
"What exactly happened? Where is your... husband?" Luo Qingyun originally wanted to say, "What about your powerful husband?" But when the words reached his lips, he couldn't bring himself to say them.
A shadow crossed Hua Nongying's eyes; the lies from back then could only be smoothed over now.
"My husband died two years ago! I came to you this time to ask for your help!"
Luo Qingyun composed himself. "What do you want me to help you with?" After years apart, she had become quite thin, and the spark in her eyes was long gone, replaced by a hint of weariness. It seemed that she had not been living well these past years.
Had he known this would happen, he would never have let her go back then!
But love is a journey that cannot be retraced; everyone can only move forward.
Memories are forever just memories.
"I want you to help me find two people: one is my nephew, and the other is my sister! But if you're busy, then forget it; it's okay!" Hua Nongying bit her lip, unable to meet the gaze of the man across from her. This man had appeared countless times in her midnight dreams, yet now she couldn't bear to look at him!
Isn't that quite ridiculous?
"I will help you!" Seeing her flustered state, Luo Qingyun quickly replied.
Now, Hua Nongying didn't know what to say. After a long pause, she finally said softly, "Actually, I always thought you hated me. I never expected that you would still be willing to help me!"
At that moment, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
"You know I have never refused any of your requests!" Luo Qingyun smiled slightly, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes. He looked at the surprised woman across from him and silently thought, You made me love you when you asked me to, and when you told me to leave, I left!
