From the time she received his phone call in the afternoon to the time she ate dinner, she was distracted, constantly thinking about how she should explain herself when she called him, how she should express her request.

When she was cooking, she didn't even notice that the soup had overflowed the pot. In the end, Leng Ning just dragged her out of the kitchen.

Her abnormality also attracted some attention. He asked her a few times with concern, but she always tried to excuse him. After dinner, she went into his room.

Lying on the bed, tossing and turning, holding the phone in his hand, he still didn't have the courage to dial that number.

Sigh, it was just a phone call. Why would she be so nervous? She had never been so nervous even when she called a stranger, and since when had she been so agitated?

Fine, fine, she comforted herself. If she had to blame anyone, it would be because that person's reputation was too strong, so strong that it was always terrifying.

Just as she was about to fall asleep from her thoughts, her phone suddenly rang. When she saw the caller ID, she sat up from the bed in shock and almost threw her phone. She had been reading the number for the whole night, how could she not be familiar with it?

Ye Ci patted her chest and took a deep breath, then pressed the answer button.

"Hey …"

"Why haven't you slept so late?"

His voice rang out in the silent night, unexpectedly pleasant to the ears.

"I'm not very sleepy …"

She answered obediently, as if she were a student who had done something wrong and was embarrassed by her strict teacher.

There was a moment of silence on the other end. After a while, his low voice sounded again.

"Didn't you ask for my number in the day? Why didn't you call?"

"Uh, I'm afraid I'll disturb your work …"

Even she felt that her excuse was a bit far-fetched.

"What about tonight?"

"I'm afraid I'll disturb your rest …"

In the end, her voice was barely audible.

The surroundings immediately fell into silence, so quiet that she could clearly hear her own heart pounding due to the nervousness.

"Then you can say it now!"

His sudden voice made her heart skip a beat.

"Ugh …" "That …"

She swallowed.

"I wish to stay here with him before the cool autumn leaves the country …"

"Sure!"

The straightforward answer startled her for a moment, and then her face lit up with a happy smile.

"Thank you!"

He didn't respond to her on the other end of the phone, and she didn't know what to say, so for a moment neither of them had anything to say.

Embarrassed, she started to say goodbye, but he hung up. She was so angry that she threw her phone to the side, cursing in her heart. What a rude guy, he didn't even tell her before she hung up the phone.

He did not come to see her for a week, not until the day of his departure in the cool autumn.

She was too busy preparing for the coming autumn and had already bought a bunch of daily necessities. Now that it was summer, she had even bought him a winter sweater and coat. Leng Qiu had to protest helplessly.

"Sis, it's not like I'm going to another planet. I can't buy anything when I'm in the Pu Guo city. If you keep packing, my luggage will become overweight!"

Autumn Leaf's words made her feel an indescribable sadness. She quickly lowered her head.

"Alright, alright. The last one, the last one!"

As he spoke, he stuffed the last piece of clothing into his luggage.

Liangqiu sighed, then she walked up to Ning Xuemo and put her arm around her.

"Sis, don't make it seem like I'm not coming back. I'll fly back to see you as soon as I have a holiday, okay?"

Autumn Leaf sniffed and raised her head with a faint smile.

"No need, you're not in a good condition, so stop tormenting yourself. It's better to wait for Sis to go and see you!"

"Yes!"

Liangqiu gave a muffled grunt of assent before suddenly falling silent. Autumn Leaf guessed that he must have thought of her current situation again. He was worried about how she would be for the next four years.

Actually, four years wasn't a long or short period of time. She didn't have much hope, she just wanted to be able to peacefully pass it. She would do her best … Mistress... It was a duty, but thankfully, for the next four years she thought she could try to forget her unpleasant identity with her busy studies.

Although Liangqiu was going to Kuangguo with his professor, out of courtesy she and Liangqiu paid a visit to the Liangqiu professor to express their gratitude to his family.

The professor was surnamed Xie, a warm, middle-aged man. His wife was also a gentle woman who cared for her and Liuqiu, and that care made their own daughter, Xie Qingwan, jealous. She laughed and said that the two of them had stolen her limelight.

Xie Qingwan was two years older than Liang Qiu, but she was only fifteen years old. Her body was slender and graceful, giving off the first impression of a good family background as a good and obedient girl.

Autumn Leaf had helped her mother over lunch in the kitchen, and her mother had praised the fact that she had such excellent culinary skills at such a young age. As she ate, she looked at everyone and laughed and chatted, and Autumn Leaf wondered if their parents were still alive, if they had such a happy scene.

On the day of her departure, she had just opened the door to a big bag of groceries when she saw the black Cadillac parked in front of the door.

Startled, she got into the car and was secretly relieved to find that the person was not in the car. However, thinking about how she was going to start her so-called life after today, she felt even more depressed that she was going to leave in the middle of autumn.

In the bright and empty waiting room, Autumn Leaf reluctantly bid farewell to Liangqiu and the professor's family. Although there was Professor Xie's family taking care of her in Liangqiu, and that person was said to have already arranged for the best doctor to treat her, she was still sad, so sad.

In all these years, she had never been separated from Liangqiu. Furthermore, since the death of her parents, the two siblings had always supported each other and encouraged each other.

This parting was like tearing apart a piece of his heart. He was clearly bleeding, but he couldn't cry out in pain.

Seeing that cold, autumn thin figure finally disappear at the boarding gate, Autumn Leaf could no longer control herself and burst into tears at Dragon One who was standing behind her. She only wanted to find an embrace to lean on, even if it would be just for a second.

Her whole body went stiff from the hug, and she instinctively stretched out her hand to push her away. But seeing her crying like this, her hand paused in midair for a moment before it drooped down again. She then stood there awkwardly, letting her hug her as she cried.

At the other end of the hall was the international exit.

VIP channel.

Twelve bodyguards in black suits and ties walked out first. They lined up in two rows and then respectfully bowed their heads. Their right hands solemnly pressed on the left side of their chest, as if greeting some great figure.

At the end of the corridor, a man in a regal, regal silver suit walked out proudly. Although the large sunglasses covered most of his face, his frightening aura made people shudder in fear.

After he walked past them, the bodyguards stood up and surrounded him. Their sharp eyes swept across the surrounding area.

After walking a few steps, the man suddenly stopped. His black eyes suddenly narrowed under his sunglasses. At the other end of the hall, a petite woman was leaning on a robust man as she cried as if no one else was around.
