Fang Yusheng was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled even more happily.

  “What are you laughing at?” Qiao Jiusheng frowned.

  Fang Yusheng walked closer to her and poked her head. He originally wanted to poke her forehead, but he could not see it. Thus, he poked her nose. “Ah Sheng, are you angry?”


  “How would I dare?”


  Fang Yusheng’s tone suddenly became serious. He said, “That’s true. You’re jealous.”


  Qiao Jiusheng’s expression changed at once.

  Clearly, she had also realized that her actions were wrong. Refusing to admit that she was jealous, she retorted, “I only eat meat and not jealousy!”


  Fang Yusheng smoothly replied, “I’m also meat. Do you want to eat me?”


  Qiao Jiusheng pursed her lips and went upstairs.

  The next day, Fang Yusheng pestered Qiao Jiusheng. He wanted to eat the glutinous rice no matter what. Qiao Jiusheng could not win against him, so she had to make a bowl for him in the end. Fang Yusheng ate half a bowl and said that he was full. If he continued to eat, he would gain weight.

  As eating too much glutinous rice would make it harder to digest, Qiao Jiusheng was relieved to see Fang Yusheng put down his chopsticks.

  “What are you doing in America?” They had lived together for so long, but Qiao Jiusheng had never seen him do anything serious.

  Fang Yusheng casually replied, “Relaxing.”


  Qiao Jiusheng frowned. She did not believe him.

  On Monday night of the second week, Fang Yusheng suddenly took out a large stack of invitations from all the major brands of New York Fashion Week. He handed it to Qiao Jiusheng. Qiao Jiusheng was flattered. She said as she took the stack. “My dear, where did you get this?”


  Fang Yusheng only said that it was from a friend. Xiao Li was a top socialite in America, so she naturally did not lack invitations for the fashion week.

  Qiao Jiusheng held the invitation. She was excitedly reading it when she heard Fang Yusheng suddenly say, “I’m going to leave for a while. Ah Sheng, Bufan will protect you during this time.”


  Qiao Jiusheng looked up in shock.

  “Where are you going?”


  “I have something to do, so I have to go on a long trip.” Fang Yusheng did not tell Qiao Jiusheng what he was going to do.

  After he left, Qiao Jiusheng suddenly felt that there was no point in staying in America.

  She went to watch the Fashion Week, then strolled around New York City. After buying a lot of luxury goods, she boarded a plane back to the country with a stomach full of anger. She had stayed to accompany Fang Yusheng, but what had happened? Fang Yusheng had left just like that. He was too carefree.

  Qiao Jiusheng decided to ignore that jerk forever.

  When she returned to the country, it was the tenth day of the new year.

  The second day after she returned, she received a long-distance call.

  “It’s me.”


  Qiao Jiusheng recognized Fang Yusheng’s voice and fell silent.

  Fang Yusheng knew that she was angry. Otherwise, she would not have left him behind and returned to the country.

  “I’m boarding the plane now. Can you pick me up at the airport tomorrow?”


  Qiao Jiusheng laughed in anger. “How dare you!”


  Fang Yusheng chuckled.

  The laughter made Qiao Jiusheng even angrier.

  She was about to hang up when Fang Yusheng suddenly spoke again.

  “Ah Sheng, I hope that I can see you once I get off the plane.”


  Qiao Jiusheng did not think that anything was wrong with what she said, but her heart softened.

  She did not say that she would pick him up, nor did she say that she wouldn’t.

  Fang Yusheng could not read her mind.

  Now that he was on a plane, he did not need to turn off his phone as long as he did not call anyone; he could browse the web. Fang Yusheng lowered his head, turned on his phone, and opened his browser. He typed Qiao Jiusheng’s name on the search engine. As Qiao Jiusheng was the second daughter of the Qiao family, there would be many pictures of her online.

  He wanted to see it for himself, but in the end, he deleted her name from the search bar.

  He wanted to see her, but not in the pictures online. He would see her when he was standing in front of her.
