Her jaw was suddenly lifted. The warm touch and the familiar smell.

  Qin Shu’s heartbeat could not help but start to quicken, wondering if it was developing too fast?

  The result of a man taking the initiative was that he made it impossible for her to think normally. For example, why did he suddenly act like this?

  Why did he say he did not like her at the beginning and then do otherwise? And it happened so quickly, in just a blink of an eye.

  Qin Shu only felt dizzy and very tired. She wanted to sleep, but the man did not let her.

  Just as she closed her eyes, she was woken up by him again.

  In the end, she vaguely heard the man close to her ear and said domineeringly: “I’ll marry you, stay.”


  Then, she fell asleep.

  As for the rest, she did not remember anything.

  At 3:30 in the morning, the cold wind was blowing outside, and dark clouds covered the moon.

  Only then did the man feel satisfied and embrace the woman into his arms to sleep. He, who had never slept well, slept very soundly.

  Even when he was asleep, the corners of his mouth were curled up, as if he was dreaming.

  His life had always been calm and tranquil, and he had never thought that there would be such a woman who could make him lose control so easily. Every word she said could make his heart heat up.

  Tonight’s action was probably impromptu, but there was only one thought in his mind. He wanted to keep her and marry her. That thought was very strong, so strong that even he could not control it.

  The next day

  When Qin Shu woke up, she subconsciously looked at the position beside her. He had long disappeared and the quilt beside her was cold. Then, she glanced at the window and found that the sky was already bright. Thinking of going to Miao Capital that day, she lifted the quilt and sat up abruptly. The next second, she frowned, regretting being so abrupt. It hurt so much.

  The man was not willing to go with her now, so she could only go alone. When she got the Gu worms, she could let Ye Luo go back first. She would stay here and wait for the man to be willing to go with her before going home.

  She rested for a while before getting out of bed and slowly putting on her clothes. It took her quite a while to put on her clothes.

  When she walked, she felt that both of her legs were not hers.

  As expected, this was the result of not exercising for too long.

  This was too tiring.

  She searched around the room but did not see the man, “Where did he go?”


  Thinking that she was going to Miao Capital that day, she returned to the room and searched for a while. She found a paper and a pen in a drawer at the side and wrote a sentence. She placed the note on the pillow and used a pen to press it down.

  Only then did she walk out with her hands on her waist.

  She still could not help but feel like complaining in her heart.

  They had only been separated for two months, yet she felt that he was like a young boy who had no self-control.

  Qin Shu came out of her room and went straight back to the Village Chief’s house. The neighbor next door was carrying a basket of vegetables, and just happened to see a woman coming out of Ah Yu’s house.

  The neighbor stared at the woman’s back view for a long time, then glanced at Ah Yu’s house. The woman who had already become a housewife could not help but think in that direction.

  “Which family’s daughter did Ah Yu fall in love with? She’s really blessed.”


  After she went back Ye Luo had already tidied up and sat in Qin Shu’s room to wait.

  Qin Shu pushed the door open and walked in. When she saw Ye Luo, she walked over and rested for a while.

  “Madam…” Ye Luo had just opened his mouth when he saw Qin Shu’s slightly open collar. There was a very deep mark there, so he swallowed the rest of his words.

  Qin Shu picked up the hot water bottle and poured herself a cup of warm water. She brought it to her mouth and drank a few mouthfuls. After moistening her throat, she said: “He doesn’t want to go with me, but I’ve made a deal with him. When I get the Gu worms, I’ll come back and look for him.”


  Ye Luo asked: “Does Lord Fu Believe Your Words?”


  Qin Shu shook her head. “No, but I believe that when I come back, he’ll be willing to go with

  me.”


  Qin Shu was not confident in herself, but she was very confident in him. She believed that even if he lost his memory, he would not be willing to part with her.

  Ye Luo believed Qin Shu’s words because she understood Lord Fu better than he did.

  In fact, the previous night, Qin Shu realized that the man had said those words because he did not want her to leave.

  But she could not stay. Jun Li was still waiting for her to save him.

  Even Gu Yan could not guarantee that he would be able to delay until the day she returned, so she had to get the Gu worms as soon as possible.

  She had been here for a few days, but she did not dare to call Gu Yan to ask about Jun Li’s situation.

  She was afraid that it was not what she wanted to hear.

  After resting for a while, Qin Shu bid farewell to the Village Chief and paid the accommodation fee, which was slightly higher than what she said at the beginning.

  The four high-level Gu masters left early in the morning

  The Village Chief also fulfilled his promise, which was to give Qin Shu two jars of wine that he brewed himself.

  “Thank you, Village Chief.” Qin Shu took the two jars of wine with a smile. The wine was indeed quite delicious.

  She gave it to Ye Luo and asked him to put it away.

  After saying goodbye to the Village Chief, Qin Shu and Ye Luo left Kua Yi village one after another.

  When they reached the intersection, she turned her head to look at Fu Tingyu’s house. She wondered if he had returned?

  Qin Shu gritted her teeth, retracted her gaze, and continued to walk forward.

  The car stopped on the street not far away.

  They did not walk for long before they arrived in front of the car.

  Qin Shu got in the car first.

  Ye Luo put his luggage in the car, turned around, pulled open the driver’s seat, and drove away.

  When the man returned to the house, there was a pheasant in his hand. It was found in the animal trap he had placed in the mountains the previous day. He went to take a look early that morning and found a pheasant that he wanted to cook for her for lunch.

  He pushed the door open and walked in. He first put the pheasant into the cage in the corner of the wall before walking into the room. He was ready to wake the woman up for breakfast.

  When he walked into the room, he immediately saw that the woman was no longer on the bed.

  He stood at the door and stared at the small bed. He stared at it for a long time but did not move.

  “I’m going to Miao Capital tomorrow…” He recalled what the woman said the previous night.

  He walked to the bed, bent down, and touched the place where the woman slept last night. The blanket was cold, which meant that the woman had left for a while.

  He saw that the note on the pillow was pressed down by a black pen. His slender fingers reached over and pulled out the note. There was a line of words written on

  it.

  “Babe Yu, I’m going to Miao Capital today. I’ll come back to look for you after I get the Gu worms. Wait for me to come back. Love, Babe.” The woman’s words were very beautiful. They were fluid and smooth without any hesitation, just like how she left without any hesitation.

  The man pursed his lips tightly. After reading the contents of the paper, his expression instantly darkened. He held the piece of paper tightly in his palm. Because he had used too much force, the roots of his fingers turned pale. The flat piece of paper was crumpled into a ball.

  “I said I wanted to marry you and asked you to stay, but you left without saying a word?”


  Could she not have waited for him to come back and told him before leaving?

  “You left just like that, and you still said you loved me?”


  The man sneered as if he was mocking himself. He sat down on the bed and placed his hands on his knees weakly. He was still holding the paper in his palm.
