"Hearing you talk, I feel so comfortable. No wonder..." Qingtian stopped talking halfway and changed the subject, asking, "Okay, let's not talk about me anymore. How are you? Is your head still hurting?"

"I've recovered a long time ago, but Fu Ni always treats me like a sick kid and is so careful about everything. I'm not that fragile."

When she said this, Lin Yuqing looked at Qingtian, but in fact, she was speaking to Fu Ni. Fu Ni was not stupid, and she knew what Lin Yuqing meant by that. She turned sideways and made a face at her, then ignored her.

"It's better to be cautious. You're still so young. If you get sick, it will be terrible." Looking at Lin Yuqing's increasingly thin body, Qingtian said with a bit more resentment, "That stupid woman Ada thought that hurting you would give her a chance to rise to the top, but she didn't consider her own weight. Now she has nothing and was expelled from Italy. She really deserves it."

Lin Yuqing was very surprised. She didn't expect that in just a few days, Ada and her family suffered a devastating disaster, and all this was caused by her.

Looking at the gorgeous flowers, Lin Yuqing said, "After all, I'm not dead. Wouldn't it be too cruel to do this?"

"Yuqing, don't sympathize with that kind of people. They don't deserve it! Do you know how much blood you shed? You almost lost your life! You're being lenient with Ada. Hey, we agreed not to talk about it, why are you bringing it up again? Yuqing, can I help you peel an apple?"

Not wanting to mention the disgusting thing again, Qingtian picked a large, red apple and began to peel it carefully. However, her technique was not very good. Not only did the apple become smaller and smaller, but she also nearly cut her fingers several times.

Jingle Bell--

Hearing the doorbell ring, Qingtian asked curiously: "Is the door downstairs locked? It was open when I just came."

"That door keeps working sometimes and sometimes not. I can't figure it out," Fu Ni said, standing up from the sofa. "I'll go see who it is."

Fu Ni spoke a few words to the voice device and pressed the door-opening button.

"who is it?"

"It's Zhang Kaifeng. He said he came to fix the water heater. I never knew he knows so many things, from health care to cooking, and now he even knows how to use household appliances. He's truly an all-rounder."

"Um, Yuqing, I'll come see you that day. I have something to do today, so I'll leave first."

Qingtian's face was not looking good. He stuffed the miserable apple into her hand and stood up to leave. But just as Keren reached the door, she saw Zhang Kaifeng coming in with a toolbox.

With his hands subconsciously placed behind his back, Qingtian timidly called out, "Brother."

"Ah."

Zhang Kaifeng smiled meaningfully, but this smile made Qingtian's legs go weak and he turned around and wanted to run away.

"Want to leave?"

Nodding hurriedly, Qingtian said, "Yes, I've been here for a while, it's time to leave."

"Then go back."

Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief, turned around to say goodbye to the few people, and then slipped out through the crack of the door like a cat with its tail between its legs.

Seeing Qingtian's frightened look, Lin Yuqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "How have you scared Qingtian before? She seems to be very afraid of you."

"I didn't scare her. I just let Qingtian see something she shouldn't have seen, and she has some complaints about me." Putting the toolbox on the table, Zhang Kaifeng asked, "Where is the water heater?"

Just as Zhang Kaifeng was typing, Fu Ni received a call saying that her husband Dongfang Bai had boarded the plane and was coming to Italy to see her, and Dongfang Fei was also going with him.

It was rare for the family of three to be together, so Lin Yuqing asked Fu Ni to pick them up at the airport in person and take this opportunity to have a good reunion.

After Fu Ni left, Zhang Kaifeng could see the disappointment in Lin Yuqing's eyes. He wiped his hands and said, "Are you thinking about him again?"

Leaning against the soft cushions on the sofa, Lin Yuqing smiled and said, "Are you the roundworm in my stomach? You understand me more and more."

After releasing the floodgate, Zhang Kaifeng hammered on it for a while. When he felt it was all right, he washed his hands, sat down next to Lin Yuqing, and said, "Sometimes I really wish I didn't know you so well."

This way, I won't have to watch you worry about other men.

Lin Yuqing did not hear Zhang Kaifeng's voice-over. Instead, because he could see through her emotions, she became more and more unscrupulously melancholy.

She missed Xiao Mingyang very much, like crazy, but she hid this emotion very well because she didn't want people around her to worry about her.

"You don't have to pretend so hard."

Zhang Kaifeng found himself very conflicted. He didn't want Lin Yuqing to think about other men, but seeing her forbearing, he felt distressed. It would be better to vent.

"I'm not pretending. I believe Mingyang will be fine," Lin Yuqing said, more like she was speaking to herself. "Just like last time, he might suddenly appear at any time. I don't think he would want to see me sick, so I have to be happy. He likes to see me smile."

Seeing the weak Lin Yuqing pretending to be strong for another man, Zhang Kaifeng was jealous to death.

He had done so much for Lin Yuqing, hadn't she seen it? Was Xiao Mingyang the only one in her heart? What was so good about that man that he could surpass her?

Zhang Kaifeng looked gloomy, he almost didn't even recognize himself. As proud as he was, how could he ever envy others?

Calming down, Zhang Kaifeng curled the corners of his lips, concealing all his emotions, and asked, "Aren't you curious about what happened to my investigation?"

"If you want to talk about it, you can tell me naturally. If there is no result, it would be useless for me to ask."

"You're really getting more and more patient." Helplessly, Zhang Kaifeng took out a few photos from his pocket and placed them in front of Lin Yuqing, asking, "Do you know the people in the photos?"

"Ajiu?"

The man in the photo was none other than Ah Jiu, who had always been with Xiao Mingyang. Since Xiao Mingyang's disappearance, Ah Jiu had also disappeared. Judging from the photo, he seemed to be in England.

Reaching out for the photo, Lin Yuqing couldn't hide her excitement and asked, "Since we've found Ah Jiu, does that mean we have news about Xiao Mingyang?"

"Not yet," Zhang Kaifeng said, looking at the disillusioned look in Lin Yuqing's eyes, "but I've noticed that Ah Jiu's whereabouts have been very secretive lately, often appearing near the Xiao family. I suspect his actions must be related to Xiao Mingyang."

"Did Mingyang ask him to investigate something, or did the Xiao family have some clues that made Ajiu take the risk to go back and investigate?"

Lin Yuqing thought carefully, but suddenly had a severe headache. She covered her forehead and looked very painful.

"Yuqing, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Kaifeng reached out to support Lin Yuqing, looking anxious.

Lin Yuqing forced her eyes open, endured the headache, and said, "I'm fine, I'll be fine after taking some medicine."
