  After hearing what Qingsi had done, Mrs. Yue instantly felt weak and in response, her legs went limp for a second all while holding on to her son’s shoulder.

  “Please get this jinx out of here right now boy, if we do not hurry, who knows what’s going to happen next,” said Mrs. Yue

  Yue Tingfeng desperately trying to hold back his laughter while holding on to his mom said, “This doesn’t sound too bad mom, I thought she’d actually murdered someone”


  Hearing that, Mrs. Yue’s eyes widened in shock and replied, “You want her to actually commit murder? Stop dawdling would you? We need to hurry since this is the coming-of-age ceremony for the princess in the Helan’s family. If we were to get in any sort of trouble, it will be a total embarrassment for both our families. You and Fangnian both are friends, how could you be so thoughtless.”


  After the lecture Mrs. Yue had given, she pointed at Yan Qingsi and said, “I’m telling you now young lady…… I dare you…… In the future……”


  Yan Qingsi gleefully grabbed Mrs.Yue’s arm and replied, “I will cause trouble in your absence in the future.”


  “It is not allowed even in my absence,” Mrs. Yue said in protest.

  A visible smile could be seen at the edge of Yue Tingfeng’s lips. His mother did not actually hate Yan Qingsi as much as she tried to claim. She was actually an old lady with a soft heart despite her strict demeanor she presented herself with.

  Hugging both women on either side Yue Tingfeng happily said, “Come on, let’s go home now.”


  “Mom, shouldn’t we at least bid the Helan family farewell?” Yue Tingfeng added.

  “Say what now, what if things get heated between both our families? It was completely our own doing. Wouldn’t that immediately embarrass both families? I will wait till we are home and I will call Mrs. Helan to explain our sudden departure as a minor ailment from me,” Mrs. Yue explained.

  “Mother, you certainly are wise. As the saying goes, wisdom comes with age,” said Yue Tingfeng.

  “Please just save it. Just let me worry less in the future,” said Mrs. Yue.

  Yan Qingsi remained silent for the entire exchange. She did not fear any consequences that would come her way. However, having people to stand up for her and to even care about her. She could not help but feel touched by the long-overdue show of love.

  Seeing how much Mrs. Yue actually cared for her, she thought to herself, maybe she could see herself forgiving Yue Tingfeng’s lies today.

  After leaving the hotel, entering the car and have Yue Tingfeng start the engine, Yan Qingsi noticed a silhouette of a man approaching the vehicle that she was in.

  Yan Qingsi turned pale for a second and it was all in the span of two meager seconds she said, “Stop the car……”


  Yue Tingfeng saw the same silhouette, his expression was worse than Yan Qingsi. He never wanted to stop, however, Yan Qingsi erratically grabbed onto the handbrakes and pulled it.

  After the sudden outburst and turn of events, she opened the door and with her back facing Yue Tingfeng, she said to him with a very stern voice, “Don’t follow me.”


  She closed the door and proceeded to walk toward that man.

  With only her shadow following her close behind, she bore a cold and menacing expression.

  Mrs. Yue climbed over from the backseat and asked, “What’s wrong son?”


  However, Yue Tingfeng could only reply with a cold and empty voice. “Nothing……”


  Mrs. Yue could not help but glance out from the car and back to her son. “Look, son, I see competition. This nymph can really flirt.”


  “Mom, why can’t you just speak by assessing the situation first. How come you can be wise in other situations but not appropriately. Can’t you just use your brain for once,” Yue Tingfeng answered.

  Before he could react, all he could hear was the smack on the side of his cheeks. Mrs. Yue had apparently slapped Yue Tingfeng after hearing his outburst. “So you’re saying that you’re smarter than me now, aye? She told you to not follow her and here you are, sitting in the driver’s seat. Why do you even obey her so much?” Mrs. Yue snapped back at her son.

  He was guessing that Yan Qingsi will be setting the record straight with Helan Fangnian. Thus, he chose to keep an open mind.

  “Oh my God, I am just fuming right now. What are you doing, trying to pretend like a gentleman you are……” Mrs. Yue added.

  “Mom……”
……

  “Monica……” Helan Fangnian’s voice echoed through the darkness.

  With a cold stare, Yan Qingsi glared at him and said, “I am not Monica. My name is Yan Qingsi.”


  Yan Qingsi’s cold and empty response was like a sharp blade cutting through Helan Fangnian’s warm and overall caring compassion.

  Helan Fangnian nodded in agreement and replied, “Alright, I will not call you Monica, I have been looking for you, Qingsi, for a very long time. Why did you refuse to acknowledge that both of us knew each other?”
