Chapter 058 A Little Clingy
"**, **." Su Qiu's slightly commanding tone came through.
Shen Yi******.
******.
******.
He missed Su Qiu terribly, his eyes glued to the screen.
It's as if this will bring you closer to that person, and even your breathing is filled with cautious anticipation.
I wish I could reach through the screen and get closer to the other person.
On the other end of the screen, Su Qiu's fingers moved in a casual, gentle voice:
"Shen Yi, don't you think you're the most well-behaved child?"
"Yes."
Shen Yi's voice was as light as a feather, with an unyielding longing in the last syllable.
"Is Su Qiu your favorite?"
"Yes."
There was a barely perceptible tremor in that voice, as if afraid that speaking too hastily would scare away this illusory intimacy.
"Should we listen to Su Qiu from now on?"
"Yes."
"******?"
"yes!"
He responded almost immediately, his eyes shining like they were filled with water, revealing his dependence on Su Qiu.
Like a child.
With each question Su Qiu asked, Shen Yi's response became softer.
The longing hidden deep in his heart grew wildly like vines, making his heart ache and swell.
Su Qiu's face reappeared on the screen, looking at the limp Shen Yi.
Shen Yi looked at her and asked softly, "When...when are you coming back?" Shen Yi pressed.
*.
He didn't care at all, and just stared intently at the person on the screen.
"It will take a few more days," Su Qiu replied.
"Are you abroad? Where exactly? I'll come find you."
Shen Yi's voice was filled with deep longing.
It was almost stuck to the tip of my tongue, each word conveying a stubborn reluctance to part.
Su Qiu looked at his soft and cuddly face on the screen and couldn't help but chuckle.
Shen Yi was being far too clingy today.
"Shen Yi, you're being a little clingy today."
Shen Yi knew, of course.
But the thought of how carefully Su Qiu treasured her grandmother's bracelet made her feel...
All the stubbornness in his heart melted into tenderness.
That bracelet was his deepest longing.
If she cares about him, he's willing to do anything for her.
He adjusted his posture and asked softly:
"My grandmother's bracelet... how did it end up with you? You took the picture, so why can't I find your identity?"
Su Qiu naturally wouldn't reveal his K identity, only saying calmly:
"My identity is a secret."
"Can't I say either?" Shen Yi's voice was lower, tinged with grievance.
"No." Seeing his obedient demeanor, Su Qiu added a reassuring word, "Don't worry, I'll be fine and will come back to find you."
"How long will I have to wait?"
"The matter is settled."
"How long will it take to process? Three days? A week? Or a month?"
Shen Yi persisted, like a child begging for candy.
The usually quiet Little Western Paradise suddenly spoke in Su Qiu's mind:
"Host, the villain is begging you like this, you should take this opportunity to improve your relationship with him and hurry back!"
Su Qiu ignored it and said to the screen, "Three days at most."
Shen Yi's eyes lit up instantly, and he slumped into the pile of clothes, his expression slightly coquettish:
"Can't we do it earlier?"
"Naughty?" Su Qiu raised her eyebrows slightly.
Shen Yi immediately shut his mouth and cautiously replied:
"Three days it is, I'll wait for you at your house."
"Um."
Su Qiu responded, looking at the expectation in his eyes on the screen, and gently tapped the screen with her fingertip.
A moment of silence fell between them.
The subtle scent of what had just happened seemed to linger in the air.
Shen Yi suddenly spoke softly, his cheeks flushed crimson: "Shall we continue?"
Su Qiu was stunned for a moment: "What?"
"What happened just now..." His voice was barely audible, and his eyes darted away, avoiding the camera.
Su Qiu couldn't help but grin as she looked at his shy yet feigned composure, her tone slightly teasing.
……
Two hours later, after the video call ended.
Exhausted, Shen Yi lay back down in the pile of clothes that still carried Su Qiu's scent, the familiar fragrance lingering in his nostrils.
My heart felt filled with something, a sense of peace and warmth.
That night.
He slept exceptionally soundly, even dreaming of Su Qiu returning.
……
The past day.
Su Qiu sat under the lamp, tapping her fingertips on the table.
She originally planned to go back immediately once she found out who the guy surnamed Xiao was.
But the other party seemed to have vanished into thin air; no matter how much she used her connections, she couldn't find a trace of them.
Even the leader of the assassin's den has never appeared.
Just as she was pondering her next move, her private number suddenly received a message.
The sender's name was unexpected.
Chen Liping.
Su Qiu raised an eyebrow, her fingertip pausing on the screen.
Why would Chen Liping suddenly contact me?
There seems to be no direct interaction between them.
……
Chen Liping's message to Su Qiu went unanswered, like a stone sinking into the sea.
She was unwilling to give up, so she went to Qiu Yi's company herself, but couldn't even get through the gate.
They were kicked out by security guards on the grounds that "there was no appointment and Mr. Su was not present".
After sending people to inquire from various sources, they learned that Su Qiu was not in the country at all, but had already gone abroad.
The next time I saw Su Qiu was in my own living room.
Chen Liping had just come downstairs when she saw the person sitting on the sofa.
She was taken aback at first, then a gentle smile spread across her face, and she quickly walked over:
"Qiuqiu, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I would have sent someone to pick you up if I had known."
Su Qiu looked up at her, her gaze cold and her tone distant:
"No need to be so polite. Let's get straight to the point. What do you want to talk about?"
Chen Liping's smile froze for a moment.
He then sat down on the sofa opposite Su Qiu, his voice softening slightly:
"Qiuqiu, I know you must have some resentment towards us."
We were foolish before, blinded by others, and didn't see your goodness...
She paused, then began to reminisce about the past:
"Have you forgotten? When you were with Ah Chen, you used to come to our house for meals all the time."
You two went to and from school together, playing and laughing in the yard. How happy you were! Those were such blissful times…
"We, your husband and I, have always hoped that you could become the daughter-in-law of the Lu family."
"It's just that we were deceived by that girl Su Qian. We misjudged people, which is why you suffered so much."
Su Qiu sat upright on the sofa, her fingertips gently stroking the rim of her cup, remaining silent and listening quietly.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Chen Liping simply wiped away her tears, her voice choked with sobs:
"We know that we did many things to you that hurt you in the past... I sincerely apologize to you here."
We don't ask for your immediate forgiveness, we just hope to see you more often in the future so we can make amends...
"Now Ah Chen has dissolved his marriage with Su Qian. That girl is not a member of the Su family at all and was kicked out long ago."
Qiuqiu, look, now all those messy people and things are gone.
You can still get along well with Ah Chen.
He's always had you in his heart...
