"Is this... just drunken antics?"
A burst of good-natured laughter erupted.
Yun Ya wasn’t drunk. She saw him. Co out, hiding like that—are you that ashad to be seen?
At this mont, a tall figure walked in, and upon seeing him, the crowd fell silent.
"Yun Ya," Pei Qinghan grasped her arm, his brows slightly furrowed, "You’re losing your composure."
Yun Ya shook off his hand, smiling as she stepped back, "He’s here. I saw him."
With that, she turned and ran out.
Pei Qinghan clenched his fists and quickly chased after her.
As the two left, the scene beca chaotic. What happened to Miss Ji? Just who was the "he" she ntioned? And Pei Qinghan seed to have an unusual relationship with her.
There were thousands of thoughts in their minds, but no one dared to speak. Mr. Yan’s daughter-in-law—gossip about her would be asking for trouble.
The rooftop terrace was wild and blustery.
Yun Ya had just stepped out when the ferocious wind almost knocked her over.
The terrace was so close to the sky, yet tonight there were neither stars nor moon. The pitch-black night sky was like a giant overturned cauldron, suffocating her.
Amid the howling wind stood a tall figure, as immovable as a mountain, as if no storm could budge him an inch.
"Take away," she shouted at the figure’s back.
The man’s posture stiffened slightly. Yun Ya rushed over, grabbing his sleeve, "Take away. I want to see her...."
The man lowered his gaze to her hand, which was cool and soft like white jade, stirring a peculiar tenderness within him. His eyes, like a sea of stars, were unbelievably gentle.
He said, "You’re drunk."
"I’m not drunk." She held his hand tightly, as if afraid he would disappear before her eyes, "I killed U and N. Shouldn’t you avenge your subordinates? Then take to see her. Isn’t she always tornting ? Doesn’t this give you the chance for revenge? What are you hesitating for?"
He quietly looked at her, her long hair whipping wildly in the wind, eyes flushed, staring at him urgently.
"They deserved to die." He heard his own indifferent voice, carried away by the raging wind.
"What exactly are you afraid of? What are you hesitating about? Your orders from the start were to capture . I’m right here. Why don’t you act?" Yun Ya glared at him in anger, "If you don’t take to her, I’ll jump from here right now."
Yun Ya pointed to the dark abyss a hundred ters below.
"Then I’ll jump with you." The man spoke quietly.
Yun Ya slapped him hard, "Coward, what are you thinking?"
The man’s head tilted to the side, his expression unchanged. "You don’t know what kind of fate awaits you."
"But I’ve had enough. I’ve really had enough." The girl, usually calm and composed, now resembled a raging lioness, "Whatever the consequence, I can bear it. If you don’t take to...."
She had stepped to the edge of the platform, one step away from life and death.
The man silently watched her. He knew she had the courage to jump, and he wouldn’t stop her because he would jump with her.
Yun Ya was defeated by his gaze and said helplessly, "What would it take for you to take to see her?"
"It’s impossible, no matter what. You don’t understand her. Once you step into that prison, there’s no coming out."
"I’ll take you." A clear voice suddenly rang out.
Yun Ya turned to see Pei Qinghan slowly erge from the darkness, the night subtly outlining his eyes and brows—gentle yet cold.
"Yun Ya, co down. Wherever you want to go, I’ll take you."
He reached out his hand to her, his gaze tender.
Yun Ya looked at that pale palm, montarily stunned, before he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her down from the platform into his arms. His hard chest bruised her cheek.
"Don’t joke with your life. Just tell where you want to go."
Even if it’s to the edge of heaven and earth, hell and heaven, I will accompany you.
The man’s gaze swept over lightly, Pei Qinghan’s long eyebrows slightly raised, and the wind seed to blow even harder.
Sharp blades and swords, fleetingly unseen.
Before Yun Ya left, she turned back for one last look.
——
The car drove steadily through the night.
The cabin was silent.
After a long while, Pei Qinghan spoke, "I know where the island is. I’ll take you."
Yun Ya, leaning against the car seat, curled up with her eyes half-closed, seed asleep.
Pei Qinghan glanced at her and sighed silently.
Pei Qinghan took her to the gate of Ji Family Manor and then left. Chang Hong drove up and stopped beside her. Yun Ya opened the car door and got in.
Hospital.
Yun Ya entered the ward. Tong Jia was carefully washing Tongtong, who naively said, "Mom, is that sister really as good as you say? When I grow up, I want to marry soone like her."
Such innocent child’s words. Yun Ya smiled softly and warmly.
"Oh you, what nonsense are you spouting? You mustn’t be disrespectful to Miss Ji," Tong Jia scolded, but her voice was full of indulgence.
"Wow, I see a fairy." Tongtong peeked over Tong Jia’s shoulder, exclaiming as he saw Yun Ya approaching.
Tong Jia quickly turned around, seeing Yun Ya, she stood up imdiately with surprise, "Miss Ji... you’re here. Please sit, please sit." She carefully wiped the stool with her sleeve.
Tongtong stared with wide eyes, "Are you the big sister that mom says can save my life? You look like a fairy."
Yun Ya smiled and touched his head, "Thank you. Tongtong is very cute too."
"Huh? How did big sister know my na is Tongtong?" Even though Tongtong was pale and frail from illness, his eyes were lively.
Yun Ya replied with a smile, "Because Tongtong is the most well-behaved and cute. Everyone likes you. Your na spread from one to ten to a hundred, so everyone knows there’s a cute little boy nad Tongtong."
Tongtong shyly laughed, staring at Yun Ya’s face for a long ti, "Big sister, have I seen you sowhere before?"
Tong Jia helplessly scolded him with a look, "Tongtong, don’t be rude to Miss Ji." Then turning to Ji Yun Ya, she said, "Please forgive him, Miss Ji. This child is spoiled by , always speaking without thinking."
Yun Ya gently smiled, "Then you must have seen in your dreams."
