After that day, both of them tacitly chose not to mention it again. Although Xiao Yun was impulsive and clumsy, she understood that some things were better left unasked.
Moreover, as the date of the Blind Date Tea Party drew closer, she had no time to ponder trivial matters—unbeknownst to her, Qin Changqing's gaze had quietly begun to carry a different kind of sentiment.
Finally, Halloween arrived.
Following Qin Changqing's suggestion, Xiao Yun did not opt for a conventional evening gown. Instead, she wore a uniquely tailored black and purple satin princess dress, which made her look like a playful little witch stepping out of a mysterious fairy tale.
"Isn't this a bit too informal...?" With her doll-like face, Xiao Yun's outfit only accentuated her youthful innocence.
However, Qin Changqing seemed quite pleased and reassured her, "Don't worry, Xiang Xiaotian is into cute girls; the cuter you are, the more he’ll like you."
"Is that so...?" Although Xiao Yun was skeptical, she nodded naively. "Then I'm off!" Just as she reached the door, she was suddenly called back by Qin Changqing from his hospital bed.
"Xiao Yun!"
"Hmm?" She turned back; the soft sunlight streamed through the open window, making it hard for her to see his expression against the light.
"Don't force yourself. If you don't like Xiang Xiaotian, just leave the venue immediately, okay?" His voice carried an inexplicable depth compared to usual.
Xiao Yun paused slightly before nodding after a moment: "Alright."
Watching Xiao Yun leave, Qin Changqing leaned back on his hospital bed and let out a long sigh before deftly removing the bandages wrapped around him one by one.
If Xiao Yun knew that he could have already been discharged from the hospital but was pretending to be ill to stay there, would she be angry?
But what could he do? Qin Changqing thought to himself. He simply longed to stay by her side a little longer—because he had already unconsciously fallen for this cute girl, who, despite being a bit silly, tirelessly embodied the unique "Xiao family resilience."
When Xiao Yun handed the invitation to the doorman, she felt something was off.
The doorman took the invitation without looking at it, his gaze fixed on her attire, a hint of helpless amusement playing on his face.
Upon entering Bai Guan Club, she walked down the corridor, and the servers passing by all turned their attention to her, each smile tinged with ambiguous undertones.
As she stepped into the venue, Xiao Yun was left speechless—everywhere she looked were elegantly dressed women, all mature and glamorous, while she felt like a small child who had accidentally wandered into an adult world.
"Hey, which family is trying to climb onto the Xiang Family's coattails by bringing a minor?" someone mocked shamelessly, provoking laughter from those around.
"Xiao Tian only has eyes for mature and sexy women; what are you doing here, you little brat? You're just embarrassing yourself!"
"I'm not a brat!" Xiao Yun's face flushed as she hurriedly defended herself. "I... I'm twenty-one!"
However, all she received in response was even more disdainful laughter. Feeling wronged and innocent, Xiao Yun quickly ran to a corner where no one was around and called Qin Changqing, eager to vent her frustrations in a flurry of words.
After a moment of silence, Qin Changqing replied softly, "Oh, then perhaps I was misinformed..."
This was simply too frustrating!
"If you feel uncomfortable, then just leave," Qin Changqing said with a faint bitter smile. "You promised you wouldn't force yourself."
"I'm not giving up yet!" Xiao Yun retorted, feeling underestimated and puffing up in indignation. "Just watch, those women are no match for me!"
Qin Changqing had intended to tease her a bit, but the words stuck in his throat, and he ultimately managed to squeeze out, "Alright, but if you really don't want to stay, you must... you must leave."
Xiao Yun, completely oblivious to the bitterness in his voice, replied with a simple acknowledgment before hanging up. She had no idea that someone was watching from above, taking in everything.
"That woman Secretary Xiao mentioned must be her..." The person stroked their chin, a knowing cold smile playing on their lips.
At that moment, the voice of the tea party host echoed through the venue.
