Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS

Sure enough, Qi Wu gently pushed Tong Luo’s hand away and softly said, “You guys can go back first.”

“How can this be?”

“We’ll wait for you here!” Jiang Xuxu hurriedly said.

Qi Wu shook her head. “Go back.”

At Qi Wu’s insistence, they looked at each other and could only compromise.

Seeing that, the smugness in Qiu Yan’s eyes grew.

Ke Lu walked past her and coldly warned her, “Don’t try any of your schemes on her.”

Qiu Yan was startled. She looked at Ke Lu’s cold and indifferent eyes and shivered.

What was going on?

Why did this woman, whom she rarely paid attention to, make her hair stand on end just now?

“Qiu Yan.”

Qiu Yan only came back to her senses when Qi Wu called out to her.

She forced a smile. “L-Let’s go.”

Qi Wu glanced at Qiu Yan’s pale face and didn’t say anything. She quietly followed Qiu Yan.

The two of them stopped in an empty alley.

Qiu Yan took a deep breath and stated her purpose. “I want to thank you for helping me get rid of Tong Fei.”

Qi Wu tilted his head. “She did it to herself.”

She didn’t do anything.

Qiu Yan shook her head. “If she didn’t slander you, I’m afraid she and the Tong family wouldn’t have fallen so quickly.”

Hearing this, Qi Wu’s eyes flashed.

She stared at Qiu Yan without blinking, but Qiu Yan didn’t sense it. She smiled bitterly and started talking.

“Sometimes, I’m jealous of Jiang Xuxu. She’s prettier than me and has better resources than me. She’s always been better than me when she was a streamer, but now…”

Qiu Yan glanced at Qi Wu as her voice filled with jealousy. “She has you by her side.”

“If the Derson beside me was vou…”

Qiu Yan couldn’t finish her sentence. It seemed that she felt that it was too embarrassing, so she changed the topic. “Do you know what I experienced on the day I was taken away?”

Qi Wu didn’t say anything and looked at her calmly.

It was this kind of magnanimous expression that made Qiu Yan willingly reveal the humiliation that she could not bear.

“My boyfriend, to appease Tong Fei, personally used a cigarette butt to burn wounds on my back one after another.”

Qiu Yan suppressed her anger and upset and continued in a choked voice, “He even groveled at Tong Fei and fawned over her to the point that I detested him. At that time, I was thinking that power was a good thing.”

Qi Wu looked at the flames of hatred flickering in her eyes and sighed. “But you still love him.”

Qiu Yan suddenly froze as she gradually regained her rationality.

She muttered to herself as if she was trying to convince herself, “He was the one who brought me out of that circle and gave me a chance…”

There was no pity in Qi Wu’s eyes as she looked at her and he coldly said,

“Foolish. ”

“What can I do?”

Qiu Yan’s voice suddenly rose a few decibels. “I can only keep climbing up. As long as I have power, no one will abuse me!”

Qi Wu looked at her indifferently, like a merciful and cold goddess who was simply observing the world.

Perhaps Qiu Yan was worthy of pity in the beginning, but it was obvious that she had lost herself in the wrong choices she made.

“What else do you want to say?” Qi Wu interrupted her calmly.

“Ah, yes!”

Qiu Yan hurriedly said, “If you were to do it again, would you choose Jiang Xuxu or me?”

Qi Wu didn’t answer and just quietly looked at her.

Upon seeing her reflection in Qi Wu’s eyes, Qiu Yan couldn’t help but bite her lip.

Just as Qiu Yan was about to give in, Qi Wu finally spoke, “The choice has never been mine.”

Her gaze swept across Qiu Yan, her expression neither sad nor happy. “Is this what you want?”

Looking at Qiu Yan’s confused eyes, Qi Wu said, “I should go.” Then, she walked away.

Qiu Yan watched her figure disappear from view. She didn’t say anything, but her hands were clenched into fists.

When Qi Wu returned to the villa, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

“She didn’t say anything to you, did she?” Jiang Xuxu asked nervously.

Qi Wu shook her head.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuxu was relieved.

But when she thought of Qiu Yan’s abnormal behavior, she couldn’t help but mutter, “It feels weird.

Qi Wu looked at her and smiled.

At that moment, Ke Lu came down from upstairs with a metal box in her arms.

Ke Lu walked up to Qi Wu and opened the lid of the metal box. There were all kinds of candies inside.

The packaging of the candy was colorful with a few especially cute patterns.

There were many candies inside that Qi Wu had never eaten before.

She couldn’t help but curiously and solemnly ask, “What is this?”

“Yours.”

Ke Lu then continued, “You won’t go empty-handed to the charity sale tomorrow.”

Qi Wu’s eyes widened slightly in joy, but her tone was firm and gentle. “But this is the candy you gave me. I don’t want to sell it.”

Qi Wu cherished every gift from her friends.

Ke Lu’s cold and stern expression almost broke because of how cute Qi Wu was. Her fingertips moved subconsciously as if she wanted to stroke Qi Wu’s head.

In the end, she forced herself to lower her eyes. “It’s okay. There are a lot of candies. You can take out some.”

Since Ke Lu had made a move, Jiang Xuxu also placed a dazzling array of small accessories that she had pulled out of her belongings into Qi Wu’s arms.

“Sweetie, bring my share along too! I still have a lot of things here. Don’t worry about me!”

Tong Luo gave Qi Wu the stack of origami she had made herself. Lifelike paper cranes and roses joined the pile in Qi Wu’s arms.

Qi Wu blinked. Seeing that there were so many things in her arms, she slowly said, “I don’t want to…”

This was the first time she had experienced such a feeling of reluctance.

As these were something her friends had given her, Qi Wu could feel their warmth when her fingertips touched them.

Jiang Xuxu burst into laughter and casually said, “It’s okay. You’ll have more in the future!”

At that moment, Jiang Yiran loudly called out from outside the villa. “Open the door, Jiang Xuxu!”

Not long after, Tan Song and Jiang Yiran walked in.

The two of them had brought some stuff over. As expected, these things ended up in Qi Wu’s hands.

It seemed like this was the first time Jiang Yiran had done something like this. He couldn’t help but look awkward. “Don’t think too much about it.”

Oi Wu smiled at him. “Thank vou.”

Jiang Yiran’s heartbeat suddenly sped up.

At that moment, he seemed to understand why Tan Song would go through all that trouble to treat her well..
