After Ye Qiu and his companions finished eating, they took Bai Lan and the others for a stroll.
Finally exhausted, they returned to the hotel where Bai Lan was staying.
From the front desk, he requested a room for Huang Zhentian and Cat each.
The receptionist suddenly asked attentively, "What about you, sir? Don't you need a room? Otherwise, where will you stay?"
Ye Qiu chuckled, holding Bai Lan close, "Can you guess where I'm staying?"
The receptionist realized with surprise, giving Ye Qiu a curious look.
This stunning female CEO actually prefers a man like him; does he have so special skills?
Or... is it sothing about him that's particularly impressive down there?!
The receptionist watched Ye Qiu leave with Bai Lan, her thoughts suddenly drifting.
They entered Bai Lan's room.
Ye Qiu and Bai Lan shared their sorrows of missing each other.
"Ye Qiu, you've been gone again for so long; during that ti, you didn't even call once. Do you know how worried I was about you?"
Finally, without anyone else around, Bai Lan spoke up. After all, as a woman, she had so feelings about her man always being away.
"Bai Lan, I'm sorry. I'm always burdened with affairs and can't stay with you, but once everything is settled, I'll live a simple and ordinary life with you."
Ye Qiu understood that in terms of love, he really wasn't a responsible partner.
But the deep-seated vendetta with Blood Cross was sothing Ye Qiu couldn't let go; as long as he hadn't eradicated them, he couldn't find peace.
Only after thoroughly resolving the matter with Blood Cross could he give Bai Lan enduring companionship and simple happiness.
Upon hearing Ye Qiu's words, Bai Lan suddenly leaned into him, gently saying, "Stop it, I know. I'm just upset you didn't call . And I really missed you."
"That was indeed my fault. Next ti I go out, I'll definitely call you to let you know."
Bai Lan's words about missing him softened Ye Qiu's heart; he had missed her too. Besides Phoenix, she was everything to him.
Ye Qiu held Bai Lan tightly in return.
They held each other for a while, sharing the longing from their long separation.
After a while, Bai Lan felt sothing pressing against her.
Looking up, she saw Ye Qiu smile shyly; turns out he was reacting.
Ye Qiu then asked with a playful look, "Honey, should we be going to sleep?"
Bai Lan blushed, "Then let's sleep."
With Bai Lan's approval, Ye Qiu eagerly took off his clothes and rushed into the bathroom for a shower.
After days of battles, he was indeed sowhat dirty; although impatient, he didn't want Bai Lan to sll any odor.
After quickly finishing his shower and coming out of the bathroom.
Bai Lan too had her hair slightly wet, having showered in the other bathroom in the room.
She was wearing a sexy nightgown, elegantly seated at the edge of the bed with slightly flushed cheeks, looking at Ye Qiu with dreamy eyes.
Although naturally aloof, for so reason, Bai Lan always seed to feel a heat that even she found a bit embarrassing in Ye Qiu's presence.
Ye Qiu pounced, pushing Bai Lan down.
Bai Lan soon drifted off to sleep in a daze.
Ye Qiu lowered his head and gently kissed Bai Lan's forehead.
Then he sat up, lit a cigarette, and did not fall asleep imdiately.
After a few puffs, Ye Qiu picked up his jacket from the ground, instead of wearing it, he rummaged through the pockets.
Finally, he pulled out a photograph, staring at it blankly, unable to snap out of it for a long ti.
The photograph appeared to depict a crystal ice coffin at first glance.
But in reality, what it captured was a person encased in ice.
Though the photo wasn't clear, Ye Qiu could imdiately recognize the person without doubt.
This ice-bound individual was none other than the love of his life, Phoenix!
The photograph was acquired during his venture into Blood Cross, and upon seeing it, Ye Qiu's heart was in turmoil.
Blood Cross had been keeping Phoenix frozen!
As Ye Qiu trembled while touching Phoenix in the picture, he suddenly felt sothing; it seed like she was still alive!
She must have been frozen while alive!
However, Ye Qiu also doubted his intuition.
How could an ordinary person survive such prolonged freezing?
Ye Qiu felt torn inside, fearing that his hope would only plunge into the depths of despair.
No! Phoenix must be alive!
Despite potential despair, Ye Qiu hoped deeply that Phoenix was still alive.
Blood Cross! You've frozen Phoenix, I'll never let you off!
Ye Qiu resolved fiercely to fight Blood Cross until the end to reclaim Phoenix!
The next day.
Ye Qiu got up together with Bai Lan.
Because they had agreed to discuss cooperation with the Rong Family.
Ye Qiu told Huang Zhentian and others to wander freely, then with Bai Lan, they had a simple breakfast before leaving the hotel.
As they stepped out, a young man with a buzz cut rushed past and accidentally bumped into Ye Qiu.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't see you, I'm in a hurry! Really sorry!"
The young man quickly apologized to Ye Qiu.
With plans ahead, Ye Qiu and Bai Lan didn't mind, allowing the young man to leave.
Ye Qiu drove the rented car over, guided by Bai Lan, heading to the Rong Family.
After Ye Qiu left, unbeknownst to him, the buzz-cut young man reappeared from the street corner.
He glanced at Ye Qiu driving away, a strange smile surfaced on his face.
He turned, got into a black Audi, and followed in the direction Ye Qiu had left.
On the road.
Ye Qiu noticed that Hong Kong traffic was even worse than the traffic in Capital City. He was stuck at one intersection for nearly half an hour.
Being stuck in traffic was really frustrating, so Ye Qiu chatted with Bai Lan to distract himself.
While chatting with Bai Lan was pleasant, Ye Qiu suddenly felt unease.
Sothing seed off, his heart felt heavy, and his body was exceptionally tired.
What was going on?! Ye Qiu was puzzled.
