When Ou Yunchen walked Mo Qingyun to her doorstep, they bid each other goodnight.
Ou Yunchen: "Little mute, I might have to go on a business trip tomorrow."
Mo Qingyun signed, "Where to?"
Ou Yunchen: "France."
Mo Qingyun signed again, "For how many days?"
Ou Yunchen: "Soon, three to five days and I'll be back."
Mo Qingyun nodded. In her eyes, there was a reluctance, similar to many lovers, upon hearing their partner would be away for a few days.
Ou Yunchen hugged Mo Qingyun tightly. He didn't want to be apart from his "little mute" for too long. Perhaps he really liked this silly girl more and more each day, wanting to spend his time with her.
Ou Yunchen: "I'll bring you a gift."
Mo Qingyun signed, "I don't want any more cosmetics."
Ou Yunchen: "I know, I know. I'll buy you what French women love the most!"
Mo Qingyun signed, "What is it?"
Ou Yunchen: "My secretary told me French women love luxury goods. How about I buy you a handbag?"
Mo Qingyun immediately refused, stating those were not things she liked.
Mo Qingyun signed, "Don't buy me any more random things. It's such a waste of money!"
Ou Yunchen took Mo Qingyun's hand and kissed it gently.
Ou Yunchen: "Just kidding. Will bringing you delicious food do?"
Mo Qingyun then nodded.
Ou Yunchen: "Close your eyes, let me have a kiss, then I'll let you go."
Mo Qingyun tilted her head up and closed her eyes, a slight smile forming on her lips.
In her heart, Ou Yunchen had become an indispensable man in her life. Her love for him grew with every embrace and kiss.
Ou Yunchen secretly took out his phone and took a picture of Mo Qingyun's face. He was afraid that one day, when Mo Qingyun learned that he had sabotaged her chance to attend the Parisian socialite ball, she would hate him...
He dared not imagine that day arriving. When Mo Qingyun discovered that the man she loved most had prevented her from meeting her brother, she would never forgive him.
More importantly, at next week's socialite ball, he had to steal and damage the artificial heart that Mo Qingyun's brother relied on for survival. He had to complete this mission, otherwise more people would fall victim to Maggie...
Ou Yunchen prayed in his heart, praying that he could complete the mission safely, and praying that Mo Qingyun would never discover anything he had done.
At this moment, he was filled with mixed emotions, yet he never kissed his beloved in front of him.
A breeze ruffled Mo Qingyun's hair. The surroundings were silent. When she opened her eyes in surprise, no one was around.
Mo Qingyun felt she had been tricked by this "scoundrel" Mr. again. Annoyed, she stomped her feet and walked towards the stairwell.
But just as she was fumbling for her keys to open the door, a familiar voice echoed from the stairwell.
Xie Youlin: "Xiao Yun."
Mo Qingyun turned around in surprise, but immediately turned her face away, refusing to look at him.
Xie Youlin grabbed Mo Qingyun's arm and said, "Xiao Yun, listen to me. I came to apologize."
Mo Qingyun signed, "I've received it. You can leave now."
Xie Youlin: "It was my fault on the rooftop that day. I was too emotional. Can you forgive me?"
Mo Qingyun flung Xie Youlin's hand away and pushed him.
Xie Youlin: "It's okay if you don't forgive me, but you have to listen to me. It's about your brother."
The hand that was about to close the door suddenly stopped. Mo Qingyun stared at Xie Youlin, half-believing, half-doubting. She hoped it was good news.
Xie Youlin: "Following the clues from your mother, I found out that she once had a romance with a wealthy man in Country M. After that, your mother left Country M and came here."
Mo Qingyun listened intently. She couldn't miss any piece of information that might lead her to her brother.
Xie Youlin: "Unfortunately, that wealthy man passed away several years ago..."
Mo Qingyun's gaze dimmed again.
Xie Youlin: "However, as far as I know, to consolidate his empire, this wealthy man raised many adopted sons..."
Mo Qingyun signed, "Adopted sons?"
Xie Youlin: "Although I'm not sure what these adopted sons do, some of them inherited the wealthy man's position and were invited to the opening ceremony of the Parisian socialite ball!"
"So, perhaps he will know something about your mother, and through him, you might be able to find out your brother's whereabouts."
Mo Qingyun was too excited to articulate herself. However, the biggest problem now was that she hadn't received the honor of being a city's outstanding youth, which meant she wouldn't be eligible to attend the Parisian socialite ball...
Xie Youlin held Mo Qingyun's shoulders and said with great certainty, "Xiao Yun, I have a way to take you to the ball! But you must keep it a secret. Don't tell anyone!"
