Chapter 321 The Student Union Pushed Forward The School Reopening
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
Recalling her younger sister's words, Yun Bixue said in her most delicate coaxing voice, "Limo, my lord, hubby, Mr. Xie. I was wrong "
Xie Limo could imagine how Yun Bixue would look at that moment. Pouting, she would look pitiful. His heart softened as he asked, "You know that you've done something wrong? What did you do?"
"Limo, I forgot to call you last night. I had fun and got too exhausted that I lost track of the time, and then I fell asleep right away." In fact, she went all out last night and vented out her frustrations.
Xie Limo sighed and answered gently, "Did I ever forbid you to have fun? I'm glad that you're having fun. Just remember to let Xie Shiyi tag along to ensure your safety, no matter where you go in the future. Do you know how worried I would be if I couldn't find you last night?"
Yun Bixue felt really guilty that she even reproached herself. This was not the first time that she had forgotten about her husband. "Hubby, I'm sorry that I've made you worried."
"Never mind, take it easy. You're tired from having fun last night, so you need to rest well. Remember that you can't go out on your own now. If I can't find you, I'll get worried." Xie Limo's voice was soft and gentle. He could never bear to chastise her at all.
Yun Bixue stuck out her tongue. "I know." Her husband was the only one who could make her heart feel extraordinary warm.
"Okay. It's great that you understand. Take a rest now."
After ending the call, Yun Bixue hugged Xie Limo's pillow and smiled. It was unclear what she was thinking about.
When Yun Bilu finally checked on her, she saw her elder sister staring off into space. She wondered what happy thoughts Yun Bixue was having that made her smile so brightly.
"Elder Sister, do you miss Brother-in-law?"
Yun Bixue giggled. "Little lass, do you know how it feels like to miss someone?"
Yun Bilu plopped down on the bed and pursed her lips. "Elder Sister, you underestimate me. Although I'm only eighteen years old after the new year, I understand relationship matters. I miss Huang Yize too."
"Do you want to go back to school already?"
Yun Bilu shook her head. "I want to stay at home and be with Elder Sister and Grandfather more. Also, school hasn't reopened yet!"
Noel Harlem University.
The student union's meeting was held earlier than the previous years. Huang Yize decided that the classes would be resuming earlier this year.
Ji Zhiye added, "Country E is under strict governance now. Most of our fellow students are on campus, so we have decided that school will reopen a week earlier. Does anyone have any objections?"
Everyone knew that Ji Zhiye's words represented Young Master Huang's opinions. Since most of them were on campus, they had no objections against school reopening at an earlier date. Although they were just a student union, most of the students were used to agreeing to Young Master Huang's suggestions.
As a result, school reopened one week earlier, just like that.
Yun Bilu's three roommates began to fuss when they received the news. "Oh no, Yun Bilu wanted to stay there for ten more days. School reopening has been pushed earlier!"
"The school union really meant it when they suggested that. I guess Bilu hasn't had enough fun! We didn't go home this year. Let's go shopping!"
"Who knew that the student union would suddenly change the reopening date?"
"Hey, look on the bright side. Don't we all miss our Little Lulu? Without her, our dorm is not as lively as before."
"That's right. I also miss the things that she'd always bring for us. Say, what local specialties do you think she'll bring this time?"
"Enough talking. We should let Little Lulu know right away and ask her to come back earlier. If she's late, the student union would deduct points. It would be difficult to pass her assignments, and it would affect her scholarship."
Yun Bilu was still having fun in Ning An City. When she received the news that the school reopening had been moved earlier, she was simply stupefied.
Chapter 322 She Looks So Much Like Chu Fei'er
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
Yun Bilu looked at the message sent by her roommates, reading it over and over again. She couldn't believe it. She even blinked and rubbed her eyes just to make sure that her eyes weren't playing tricks on her.
She opened up the video that her roommates had sent over.
"Little Lulu, hurry up and come back to our arms."
"Little Lulu, school is going to reopen very shortly. If you don't come back in time, you'll lose your scholarship. You'll be marked for absenteeism and your academic credits would be deducted."
"Little Lulu, remember to bring delicious snacks for us. I heard that Young Master Huang had planned the change of schedule."
The three roommates shoved at each other, hogging the phone while they were speaking. Once the video had ended, Yun Bilu looked up and let out a lengthy sigh. She was clearly in denial. She almost threw her phone on the ground. She hadn't had enough fun yet, and didn't feel like returning back. She wasn't prepared.
She felt so depressed.
When Yun Bixue found out, she was also taken aback. "Don't you still have one more week? Why are you going back so soon?" She also felt helpless. Thinking that her younger sister was going away so soon, she couldn't bear to let her leave.
Supporting himself on his walking stick, Old Master Yun looked at Yun Bilu. He himself had hoped that she was just joking. Unfortunately, she was dead seriousshe will definitely leave them on such short notice.
Yun Bilu wanted to cry but couldn't shed any tears. She said resignedly, "Grandfather, Elder Sister, it's really true. I can't bear to leave all of you, but I really have to go back. I'll pack up my things today and prepare to return."
The corners of Old Master Yun's eyes gradually reddened. Yun Bilu was his precious granddaughter. They hadn't met for many yearsthey could finally spend this holiday together. He grew used to having her by his side, so he really couldn't bear to let her go.
Despite feeling reluctant to part with her younger sister, Yun Bixue still helped Yun Bilu prepare and pack up her things. She called Xie Limo, but he couldn't come home at the moment. She could only send her younger sister off herself.
Xie Limo felt worried, so he arranged for Xie Qi, Xie Ba, and Xie Shiyi to go along and guard them.
The plane landed in Country E at night. After sending the luggages to the dormitory, the two sisters went out for dinner.
Once he heard that Yun Bilu was back, Ji Zhiye promptly reported it to Huang Yize. "Young Master Huang, Yun Bilu is back. It really is a good idea to reschedule the reopening. No matter how much that lass misses her home, she still complied and came back right away." While Ji Zhiye was saying this, he glanced at Huang Yize's expression.
It was a pity that Young Master Huang's expression was vague. Ji Zhiye could only sighhe couldn't figure out any form of emotion on his face.Young Master Huang was too skilled at concealing his feelings.
Sometimes, he was also curious about Huang Yize's status and family background. Unfortunately, no one knew at allnot even him. Nonetheless, he was clear on one thing: No matter how impressive Noel Harlem University was, the principal and professors were respectful to Young Master Huang whenever they meet.
In Hotel President.
Using her chopsticks, Yun Bilu picked up some delectable dishes for Yun Bixue. "Elder Sister, try this. It's delicious. This is Hotel President and it ranks first in Country E. All of their dishes are authentic and high quality. Even the powerful individuals from all over the world would eat here whenever they're here at Country E. Too bad Brother-in-law didn't choose this place last time."
"Didn't you want to keep a low profile? He just considered your situation. Here, eat more."
Halfway through the meal, Yun Bixue went to the washroom. While washing her hands, she saw the back of a woman on the mirror. The woman's back was so familiar that she was startled and took a second look. However, that woman had quickly vanished. She hurriedly stepped out of the washroom, wanting to go after her, but that person was already gone.
She shook her head. Was she just imagining things? She clearly thought that that woman looked exactly like Chu Fei'er. The way she stood and walked were somewhat similar to her. Logically speaking, she couldn't have been mistaken.
Yun Bixue's heart skipped a beat. Could Chu Fei'er really still be alive?
During the rest of their dinner, Yun Bixue felt restless. Once they're done eating, the two sisters took the elevator and went down. When Yun Bixue got off the elevator and looked up, she saw an enchanting man with a woman at the end of the hall, walking away from them.
Without a second thought, Yun Bixue chased after them. She wanted to confirm if what she had been speculating was true.
Chapter 323 Begging For Young Master Huang's Help
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
Yun Bilu was caught off guard when she saw her elder sister dashing out like that. She chased after her, and yelled, "Elder Sister, what happened?" She couldn't hide the worry in her voice.
Yun Bixue ran to the end of the hall and took a turn. There was a row of rooms and two elevators, but that person was nowhere to be seen. Frowning, she muttered, "That's weird. I definitely saw her. How could she vanish into thin air?"
Yun Bilu caught up to her. Realizing that her elder sister's expression was odd, she asked, "Elder Sister, what are you looking for?"
Yun Bixue shook her head, then held Yun Bilu's hand as they walked towards the exit. After getting off the elevator on the first floor, she then slowly explained, "Bilu, I just saw a woman. Her back looked strikingly similar to Chu Fei'er, the one I've told you about. This happened twice in a row, so I'm sure I'm not hallucinating."
Yun Bilu was stunned. "Elder Sister, no way! So, did she really fake her death? Aren't her thoughts and intentions really too sinister? Was this just to frame you and that Miao-something?"
"Miao Zifu, my roommate in university. If she is really still alive, then things aren't as simple as they seem. Back then, she pulled tricks to win over An Yexuan's heart. She couldn't have disappeared just like that after a fire." As she thought about it, Yun Bixue's expression turned solemn.
Yun Bilu nodded. "Elder Sister, you're right. In Hotel President, there are records of everyone entering and leaving the place. We can just check it out."
The two of them approached the reception and asked if a woman with the surname 'Chu' was staying here. The receptionist avoided the question and refused to answer. "I'm sorry, Madam. Our policy states that we cannot reveal any of our client's personal information."
Yun Bilu tried to cajole the receptionist, but her efforts were all in vain. All of a sudden, she thought of an idea. "Elder Sister, wait for me here. I'll go find someone for help."
Before Yun Bixue could say anything, Yun Bilu had already ran out of sight. She hailed a cab, and asked the driver to go to school. She dashed straight to the student union's building.
After arriving at Huang Yize's dormitory, she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw him around. Because she was anxious, she went straight to the point. "Huang Yize, Young Master Huang, I'm begging for your help. Could you please help me?"
Huang Yize coolly raised his head and glanced at her. However, a glint of light flashed across his deep eyes.
Since Yun Bixue had specially dolled her younger sister up, Yun Bilu was dressed in a yellow mini-dress. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail, while strands of hair hung loosely at the sides. She looked pretty and pure. In particular, her eyes were sparkling, enhancing her appeal.
Yun Bilu naturally didn't notice the minute change in Huang Yize's expression. She clasped her hands together and asked, "Young Master Huang, I'm begging you. Can you help me? Help a friend out. I will be grateful and really appreciate you"
After coaxing him for a long time, Yun Bilu's eyes looked pitiful as she begged Huang Yize. Due to the fact that she had spent a long time wooing Huang Yize, she unintentionally discovered that the staff of Hotel President treated him with extreme respect after just showing a card. He could get his way and acquire all kinds of information that way.
If she didn't want to help her elder sister and investigate that person at the hotel, she wouldn't even have recalled this incident.
After a long while, Huang Yize finally replied in a calm voice, "You should know that I normally would never help someone for no reason."
Yun Bilu's eyes lit up. They were glittering so much that they could almost light up the entire night sky. She exclaimed, "Huang Yize, you're the best! Don't worry, doesn't the student union lack someone to do some odd jobs? From now on, I'll regularly drop by to assist you."
A helpless glint flashed across Huang Yize's eyes.This lass really knew how to fight for her own advantage.
Chapter 324 Wang Qianjin The Charming Man
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
Huang Yize had thought that Yun Bilu's request would be a difficult task. When he found out what it was, it was as simple as just giving her a card. When Yun Bilu saw the fully transparent card, she couldn't tell anything special about it.
Yun Bilu remembered that her elder sister was still waiting for her, so she insisted that Huang Yize should go along with her, afraid that the card would be wasted on her alone.
Huang Yize couldn't do anything about Yun Bilu's naivet. After much persistence, he agreed to go and personally help her.
On the second floor of the hotel, Yun Bixue was sitting by the window, waiting for her younger sister. When she realized that Yun Bilu had dragged Young Master Huang along, she was momentarily taken aback. Her younger sister said that she had an idea. Was her idea simply bringing that person along?
When Huang Yize entered Hotel President, a lot of guests stared, unable to take their eyes off him. His aura was truly overwhelming, captivating everyone with his appearance. He was like a dragon in the dark night, his magnificence was incomparable.
Yun Bilu was anxious as she rushed him. "Hurry, hurry. Young Master Huang, my elder sister must be worried for waiting so long." When it comes to her elder sister's matters, Yun Bilu's brain seemed to stop working properly. She had forgotten how carefully she usually spoke to Huang Yize.
Huang Yize took a step forward at the reception desk, stunning several employees as their hearts thumped uncontrollably. A manager cautiously glanced at his face and asked, "Sir, would you like a room Or would you like to eat?"
Huang Yize passed the transparent card to the manager, then pointed at Yun Bilu. He coolly said, "Listen to her and do whatever she says."
When the manager saw the card, his heart almost stopped beating. The others might not understand, but he did. This person was definitely someone that he could not afford to offend.
His attitude towards Yun Bilu also did a 180 degree turn. He even wracked his brain, wondering if he had been rude and disrespectful to this lady.
Yun Bilu called her elder sister down, and began looking at the information of the hotel's guests. There were even accompanying pictures of them. However, after checking them out, there were no records of Chu Fei'er.
Finally, they retrieved the CCTV recordings in the security room. The images were all fuzzy. The lady whose back was similar to Chu Fei'er had the surname 'Qiao'. She was called Qiao Muwan, while the charming man with her had the surname 'Wang'.
Huang Yize had just been sitting by the side. When he saw the man in the video, his expression changed. He coolly commented, "Wang Qianjin. The Wang family from the Northern Xie Southern Wang!"
Yun Bixue was shocked. She knew about the Northern Xie Southern Wang. Back when Shen Zhengyao was still alive, he had met an old man who was secretly planning to harm Limo. However, that old man was blown up together with the car.
During that time, Xie Limo had mentioned that the person's surname was Wang, and belonged to the extended Wang family. Could that devilishly charming man be Young Master Wang, Wang Qianjin, from the Wang family?
Deep down, Yun Bixue wanted to inform Xie Limo right away. However, the video wasn't clear enoughshe couldn't see his face clearly. When they investigated further, they found out that Qiao Muwan and Wang Qianjin were not staying together. They had also left the hotel not long ago.
Therefore, they didn't find anything substantial with these information. There was nothing they could do as they couldn't investigate further. Nonetheless, it was quite a while before Yun Bixue had regained her composure.
She turned back, and said to Huang Yize, "Thank you so much for today, Young Master Huang. As the president of the student union, please understand that my younger sister is insensible sometimes. I hope that you will take good care of her. In the future, if you have anything you need, my Yun family from Country A would definitely assist you."
Huang Yize nodded at Yun Bixue, then eyed Yun Bilu, who was feeling quite bashful. The corners of his lips slightly turned up, and he nodded. "Don't worry."
Yun Bixue felt that these two words carried a hefty implication. It somehow made her believe that she didn't need to worry about her younger sister in school.
Chapter 325 Cultivating Talents
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
Yun Bixue looked at the pair in front of her, feeling rather pleased. Her sister had a carefree and easy-going personality while this Huang Yize looked like someone reliable. Because she had been through a lot, she hoped that her younger sister would be able to find someone who can protect and care for her. As for other matters, she thought that it would be for the best to let nature run its course.
Looking at her elder sister's expression, no matter how Yun Bilu thought about it, she felt as if she had been betrayed to Young Master Huang.
"Elder Sister!"
Yun Bixue carressed Yun Bilu's head as she said, "Don't interrupt when the adults are talking."
Hearing her elder sister's stern words, Yun Bilu did not dare to talk back at her. She could only wrinkle her nose to show her displeasure.
Finally, Yun Bixue let Huang Yize send her younger sister back to school while she prepared to take a plane back.
Xie Qi, Xie Ba, and Xie Shiyi had gone undercover to guard her. Like what Madam had ordered, they tried to appear inconspicuous to avoid causing trouble.
Actually, they did not let her know that Young Master Xie had already ordered for her protection in Country E by the members of Xie Family.
After her return, Yun Bixue felt that the house became a lot quieter. To fight the loneliness, she decided to put all her energy into her work before Xie Limo's return. She also trained Wang Man to manage the department on her own.
At the movie studio, with Wang Man and Duan Qiushu by her side, she discussed the script with the director. They had also reached the selection phase for the characters.
The male lead was Liu Teng. The director did not look upon him favorably at first, but after Liu Teng acted a scene out, the director started to like him and began to applause. He did not expect that such a lad, who had no experience, were able to capture the essence of the script.
The director said to Yun Bixue, "Miss Yun, the male lead you have chosen this time is pretty good. His talent has great potential."
Hearing this made Yun Bixue happy, and she said to Liu Teng, "You're doing well. Continue to work hard."
Liu Teng replied in a humble manner, "Thank you Miss Yun, I will continue to work hard." Ever since he promised to enter the entertainment industry, he had worked painstakingly hard in order to improve. He had learned from watching dramas, practicing his facial expressions in front of a mirror, going to the streets to observe people's actions, and buying scripts to practice at home. He sometimes even pulled all-nighters just to train himself.
He did not feel tiredhe felt more energetic instead. The praises given to him by the director did not make him arrogant. Rather, he thought that it was fortunate that he did not embarrass Miss Yun.
During this period, Wang Man looked upon Yun Bixue as her biological sister and her boss at the same time. She studied seriously without any fear of failure. In the eyes of Yun Bixue, Wang Man's talent was really moldableshe could be trained to do greater things.
At noon, Wang Man volunteered to buy lunch for them. However, it had been two hours now and there was still no sign of her. Yun Bixue felt worried, so she decided to go and look for her.
Duan Qiushu also noticed this. Putting aside his work, he stood up and said, "Miss Yun, I will go and take a look!"
After a while, she overheard a conversation between two crew members who had just returned from lunch.
"I have no idea how Wang Man offended that Miss Xu. She was really harsh."
"Tell me about it. She thinks that she can easily bully others just because she's from an influential family. How vulgar."
"We can only talk about it. No one dares to offend Miss Xu. But Manager Duan from the video game company really got the gutshe's willing to stick up for Wang Man."
"Manager Duan is a very valuable person. He's so young, but he's already this talented. He will become more formidable in the future. There's obviously no need for him to be scared of the Xu Family, but it's still unwise to go against them."
Chapter 326 A Mysterious Voice
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
Yun Bixue's gaze turned cold as she listened to the conversation between the two crew members. Without a second thought, she strode over to the elevator with a hardened expression.
As soon as she arrived downstairs, she heard a commotion nearby. Following the source of the noises, she saw a few people surrounding Wang man and Duan Qiushu. Duan Qiushu shielded Wang Man behind him, while a woman wearing a long purple dress stood in front of them. She wore little bells, emitting a folk culture vibe. She was slender and had large curls in her hair.
Yun Bixue approached them. As she got nearer, the voices became clear.
"Ha! There's no need to fight with me. I'm not someone who will abuse my power. However, I have to tell you that Li Xu is courting me. I didn't know about your existence back then, but now I do. That's why you should be more sensible and stay away from him."
"Miss Xu, I've already made myself clear. I have no longer any connection with him. Our relationship is all in the past, so anything that concerns Li Xu has nothing to do with me."
Holding a cigarette between her fingers, Miss Xu scoffed. "Oh? If that's the case, why did you show up that day and questioned him? Miss Wang, you must know your limits. Do you understand?" She glanced at Wang Man condescendingly, as though she found her pitiful.
"Miss Xu, please do not be so harsh. Strictly speaking, you were the one who broke them up."
"Ah, Wang Man, am I the mistress, or are you imagining things? Li Xu never said that he had a girlfriend in the past. Did you consider yourself as his girlfriend? He never admitted such a thing. Can anyone prove it?"
Wang Man was simply not this person's match. Holding it in, her face was flushed red. Duan Qiushu also spoke politelyhe could not contend with Miss Xu.
However, when Miss Xu noticed Yun Bixue, she suddenly reached out and greeted her. "Miss Yun, nice to meet you!" Although she took the initiative to acknowledge Yun Bixue, her expression showed arrogance.
The corners of Yun Bixue's lips turned up slightly. "Miss Xu, these two are my colleagues. It's currently working hours, and you are disrupting everyone's time."
Xu Miaodan noticed that Yun Bixue rejected her handshake. A hint of coldness flashed across her eyes. "Miss Yun, the value of these two cannot be compared to the Xu family. Are you protecting them?"
"Nothing personal, this is official business!" The reason why Yun Bixue didn't favor the Xu family was partly because Miss Xu was going against the two talents that she wanted to nurture. Also, the Xu family belonged to the wrong camp, and they were already going against each other.
"Okay." Right after speaking, Xu Miaodan coolly spun around and left.
Wang Man and Duan Qiushu looked at Yun Bixue with worried faces. In particular, Wang Man felt guilty and reproached herself. She had troubled Miss Yun.
Yun Bixue comforted the two of them. "Don't worry. Go back to work and do your best!"
When Xu Miaodan got on her car, she called a private number. As soon as it got picked up, she said, "Hello?"
"How is it? How did you sound her out?" On the other end of the phone was a voice that sounded electronically distorted.
"You said that Miss Yun was an old friend of yours. She fits your description and didn't change much. She still loves to poke into other people's business. Her kindheartedness is useless. If she hadn't found herself a backer and made everyone fearful of offending her, I wonder what she would be like now!"
After a long period of silence, the voice said, "Continue to observe her for me. I can't return in the meantime. My health needs to recover slowly. Of course, if you did a good job, you'll get a handsome reward."
Xu Miaodan narrowed her eyes as she smiled. "That's a piece of cake!" In fact, Xu Miaodan truly didn't consider that kindhearted Yun Bixue as her match. Therefore, she was mostly just patronizing the other party.
Chapter 327 Missing Someone Is Torturous
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
After returning to the set, Yun Bixue mulled over the recent disturbance. The time between Xu Miaodan's appearance and departure was very short, but she kept thinking that something was off. Maybe she had been thinking too much?
Wang Man broke into her thoughts as she brought the food that had been heated. She asked, "Elder Sister Yun, did I give you any trouble today?"
Yun Bixue smiled at Wang Man and said, "Take it easy. Just do your work well. The Xu family doesn't get along well with my Yun family already, so I don't have anything nice to say to her. Besides, seeing that you've been bullied, I felt furious too."
Wang Man felt grateful towards Yun Bixue from the bottom of her heart. If she hadn't had this job, together with the people who care about her, she might perhaps have returned home feeling disheartened.
When Yun Bixue spoke to Xie Limo that night, she found out that he was coming home after a few days. She was elated, her voice becoming more cheerful.
At the other end of the line, Xie Limo could feel how happy Yun Bixue was as he listened to his wife's voice. They had not seen each other for quite a while. Ever since they got together, they had not been separated for such a long time.
It would be a lie if he said that he didn't miss her. Even his mood had put him out of sorts. Unknowingly, his emotions became affected by her.
The capital was also a place where the good and the bad mingled. It wouldn't be an easy feat if the royal families and those with power wanted to break up and reorganize the structure in the country.
As the Xie family's heir, he naturally bore the burden of the responsibilities. There were a lot of things he had to do, and this was also why he began his work in Ning An City.
The Xie family had a thousand years of historyit had to possess the power and authority to stand firm.
In Ning An City, Yun Bixue was an unexpected reward for him, catching him by surprise. He would protect this gem of his.
Every night, Yun Bixue would listen to Xie Limo's voice. After hearing his voice, a day's worth of exhaustion would simply melt away. She had grown used to it. If she didn't hear his voice, she would find it difficult to fall asleep.
Before they ended the call, Yun Bixue suddenly recalled what happened during the day. She brought up the Xu family to Xie Limo.
A glint flashed across Xie Limo's exquisite eyes. The mention of the Xu family only reminded him of the Jiang family in the capital, Tian Jing City. He spoke clearly, "The Xu family wouldn't act rashly. The Xu family's backer is the Jiang family in Tian Jing City. If the Jiang family doesn't lift a finger, the Xu family wouldn't do anything drastic."
Yun Bixue nodded. "I see. I can feel at ease now. I can handle a cheap shot. As long as it isn't the entire family's collective effort, I still can manage."
"Yes. No matter what happens, you have to learn to protect yourself. Remember to bring Xie Shiyi along regardless of where you go. There are still other men of sacrifice from the Xie family at home."
"I know" Yun Bixue dragged her words out.
Xie Limo chuckled resignedly. "Do you find me irritating?"
Yun Bixue covered her mouth and giggled. She pretended to be solemn and answered, "Mr. Xie, you have the potential to become an old granny now!"
"You've learned to tease me, haven't you?"
In the end, Yun Bixue couldn't contain it and chortled.
Xie Limo heard her laughter through the phone. His expression turned gentle.
"My dear is becoming more and more capable now. You not only tease me, but also laugh at me, hmm? Aren't you afraid that I'll punish you when I return? Don't beg me for mercy when that happens."
Speaking of punishment, both of them were aware of what it meant. Yun Bixue's cheeks flushed, her heart shuddering. Each time they laid on the bed, he would always lavish her with great pleasure. His intense passion was torturous. Likewise, their yearning for each other was torturous.
She looked forward to his early return, but had never urged him to do so, nor even mention it. This was because she knew that he wasn't having an easy time.
Chapter 328 Only One Heart
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
Yun Bixue knew his challenges and sacrifices, so she was understanding and considerate. She never rushed him, but was constantly waiting for his return. When he finally said that he will come back from his business trip, she felt happy and relieved.
Sometimes, she even had the urge to fly to the capital to look for Xie Limo. She had never felt this way towards Su Lenghan before.
The years that she spent with Su Lenghan were lackluster. She had only been with Xie Limo for half a year, but she couldn't bear to be apart from him for just a day. Being separated for such a long time, she had to deal with the agony of missing him.
That's why she understood now that reliance and trust weren't related to the length of the relationship. There were some people who, even after spending just a day with them, felt as though you've spent years with them, while there are others who felt like there's still a distance even after a long time.
Yun Bixue suddenly thought of something as she pursed her lips and asked, "Mr. Xie, quick, tell me the truth. Are there a lot of beauties in the capital?"
The corners of Xie Limo's lips instantly curved up. His chest shook as he laughed deeply. "What does my wife think?"
Yun Bixue pouted her lips. He always pushed the question back to her. "I think that there must be a lot of beauties there. I wonder if my husband had indulged in pleasure and forgot about his home."
"Is my wife jealous? There are numerous beauties in Ning An City too, but I'm content in my wife alone. Besides, your husband only has one heart."
Yun Bixue had actually intended to make things difficult for Xie Limo. Hearing his replies, she smiled widely in satisfaction.
She had a good night's rest because she knew that Xie Limo was coming back. In the next few days, Yun Bixue was in a buoyant mood. She was energeticshe chatted and laughed with everyone on the set.
On the other hand, after Su Lenghan had a fight with Meng Xinyan, he was extremely annoyed. Therefore, he went on a business trip overseas, and only came back after a long period of time.
After coming back, he didn't return home too. Instead, he went straight to his office.
Two rows of women stood at the entrance to welcome him. Su Lenghan's expression was indifferent as he walked through them.
Zhao Wei, Su Lenghan's secretary, hurriedly took the bag from Su Lenghan's hands and followed behind. He heard Su Lenghan instructing him coolly, "Schedule a department meeting. Gather everyone quickly."
"Yes!"
Li Wenhui stood blankly among the women welcoming him. Looking at his back, she felt so depressed. He didn't even recognize her, let alone glance at her.
Ever since she took that check and returned, she didn't even move at all. Her whole head was filled with memories from that night, and of his silhouette. The more she thought, the deeper she fell. She was indeed satisfied with that night, but her heart still felt otherwise. She wanted more of him.
She would frequently pass by the Su family's villa and the entrance of the Su Family Organization. However, she had never bumped into Su Lenghan again. It was only after she begged Su Lengxian that she learned that Su Lenghan had gone on a business trip.
A few days ago, she heard that the Su Family Organization was hiring ladies to welcome their guests. She came here without a second thought, with the sole purpose of meeting him regularly. Consequently, he would be able to see her again.
She had specially dolled herself up today. It was a pity that he didn't even see her.
Meng Xinyan's stomach had fully grown and her temper was becoming worse.
Mother Su noticed that she was still wearing high heels, but couldn't even correct her and advise her to wear flats. Mother Su could only serve her calmly. Fortunately, she found a capable confinement nanny who seemed to know everything.
That day, at the Yun family's ancestral home, Yang Mei lugged a deck of documents and placed them on Yun Bixue's desk. "Miss Yun, here are the files that you need. Some of it aren't very detailed. I believe someone had intentionally concealed it."
Yun Bixue clenched her grip on the documents. Raising her head, she looked at Yang Mei. "Intentionally concealed it? Chu Fei'er doesn't have much background information. Who would intentionally conceal her limited information?" With how things played out, Yun Bixue felt that something was even more amiss.
Something was hidden regarding Chu Fei'er.

Yun Bixue thought that it was fortunate of her that she had gotten Yang Mei to investigate on it.
"Miss Yun, I can't prove that someone has concealed it. However, according to the investigation of the Xie family's detective, some information are excessively complete. There is a loophole. In addition to that, there are missing information in between. Someone must have intentionally concealed it, and did not have the time to fill in the remaining details."
Yun Bixue's expression hardened as she replied, "I suppose that the other party never expected that someone would check on a dead person. Chu Fei'er is probably still alive."
She also wondered. If she could check all these information, was An Yexuan able to do the same too? Suddenly, it dawned on her. "Could the other party be trying to let An Yexuan know that Chu Fei'er is still alive?"
Yun Bixue began to have a headache as she mulled over it. Rubbing her temples, she said to Yang Mei, "Leave me for the meantime and work on your tasks."
"Yes!"
After Yang Mei left, Yun Bixue lowered her head and carefully reviewed the documents. Everything regarding Chu Fei'er's university life was recorded. In the end, Yun Bixue got even absorbed in reading them. There were a lot of things that she wasn't even aware of.
Chu Fei'er had actually done a lot of things. Yun Bixue could see all the things that Chu Fei'er had done to her and Miao Zifu in order to win over An Yexuan.
If she had seen all these back then, she might have been infuriated. However, looking at it now, she found them rather amusing. Chu Fei'er's tricks were indeed clever. In any case, it was her own faultshe had been too naive and gullible during that time.
Some people were just excellent tricksters. Judging from Chu Fei'er's appearance, one could never tell how evil she was deep inside.
Looking at all these, she then thought that Meng Xinyan and Yun Mengshi's skills were rather poor. They simply weren't of the same caliber with Chu Fei'er.
If Chu Fei'er was really still alive, she had to be more vigilant. She felt pity for An Yexuanthe person that he liked was someone like her.
However, since someone had intentionally concealed things, that person would surely know that An Yexuan had been investigating on it. If that person further misled him, An Yexuan would never find out any bit of information, no matter how hard he tried. No wonder the management lady had mentioned that An Yexuan had approached her several times.
Yun Bixue let out a huge sigh. If she wasn't checking on all these, she probably wouldn't have guessed this too.
Before the fire, Chu Fei'er frequently visited Zi Bei City, dropping in on Forest Green several times. Forest Green was a well-known nature reserve, but only a few had visited that place. Even tourists would only stay at its periphery. The information revealed that Chu Fei'er had been there several times. She stayed there for an entire day and night on the first time, and for several days on the second time
Yun Bixue knocked against the table, thinking over it. In the end, she studied an aerial shot of Forest Green that was provided by Yang Mei. She hoped to find something through it. Could there be a residential building within Forest Green?
After some time, Yang Mei forwarded another aerial shot of Forest Green to Yun Bixue. "Miss Yun, this is taken by an airplane. Because of Zi Bei City's regulations, the plane cannot fly any lower."
"Okay." Looking at the photos in her hands, Yun Bixue ordered Yang Mei to send Yang Lin over.
Yang Lin followed Yun Bixue's instructions, and used a special computer to analyze these photos. "Miss Yun, please take a look. What you're looking for should be in these locations."
Yun Bixue smiled in satisfaction. "You did a wonderful job. You managed to narrow things down from such a wide range. Yang Lin, your skills are pretty neat. No wonder you have the standards of a top scientist."
Yang Lin snickered. "Miss Yun, you flatter me." He was born to serve the Xie family. It had been ingrained in them that they had to loyally devote their lives to Miss Yun.
Shortly after, Yang Mei received a pressing piece of news. She reported it immediately to Yun Bixue. "Miss Yun, I just received this. The Zheng and Du families have joined forces. They mobilized their men of sacrifice and they're ready to take you down. But they haven't given the order to do it yet."

Yun Bixue listened to Yang Mei's report and raised her brows. "Ah, Xie Limo isn't around, and these two families want to seek revenge already?" She remembered that before Xie Limo had assumed his position, these two families had been in cahoots with the Shen family. They had wanted to shoot Xie Limo to his death.
Back then, in a room at Luxury Emperor, she had even unleashed her fury on the daughter of the Zheng family and the son of the Du family. It was clear that they bore the grudge in their hearts. They had waited for such a long time. Could they be sick of waiting?
She could still recall how the two families had suck up to them by sending gifts before the new year. She wanted to laugh just by thinking about it.
Yang Lin said furiously, "Miss Yun, I want to join this mission."
Yun Bixue shook her head. "You must focus on your studies. You still have six months to go, so don't slack off. You've stayed at home long enough. You should return to school overseas!"
Yang Lin lowered his head, feeling dejected. He really wanted to be part of this mission and serve his Miss with unwavering loyalty.
Yang Mei said, "Miss Yun has her reasons for making such arrangements. Besides, six months wouldn't make any difference." She knew that Miss Yun treated the two of them as part of her family. All the things that she did were done in consideration of them.
Yang Lin had a brilliant mind and naturally understood. "I know. I also know that I want to serve Miss Yun further. I don't want her to be bullied and taken advantage of."
"That's why we all have to become stronger and more powerful."
"Yes!"
In the end, Yun Bixue spent the entire day and night to come up with an initial plan. In order to not worry Xie Limo, she called him that night. She said to him that she will be working on her preparation to enter the entertainment industry in the next few days. Therefore, she would be busy and wouldn't be calling him. Anyway, he would be returning soon.
Xie Limo smiled resignedly and obliged. He would listen to her in the meantime. After all, he would be going home in a few days' time.
When Yun Bixue met Xie Qi, Xie Ba, and Xie Shiyi, she said, "Do you still remember what Young Master Xie said before he left?" This time, she looked every inch the Young Madam Xieher magnificence and nobility were on full display. With a solemn air, her expression was cold and indifferent.
Xie Qi, Xie Ba, and Xie Shiyi's gazes switched instantly. They respectfully answered, "Young Master Xie has ordered us to listen to everything Young Madam says, and to prioritize Young Madam's safety."
The corners of Yun Bixue's lips twitched. She looked at the three of them imposingly. She slowly sipped her tea and said, "I'm glad that you know that I am your Young Madam. Since Young Master Xie had already instructed you, all of you have to listen to me whenever he's not around. At the moment, you only have one master, and that master is me. Do you have any objections?"
The three of them shuddered, their hearts trembling. They never knew that Young Madam could also possess such overwhelming aura, and the nobility and dominance of a person with status.
Yun Bixue focused intently, then shot a piercing glance at the three of them. She did this to achieve the most effective outcome. "If you have any objections, you don't have to serve me anymore in the future. You also don't have to show yourself anymore." She had to present and establish her status as Young Madam Xie to take action this time. Furthermore, she didn't want Xie Limo to worry. He was already busy and worn out. She didn't want to rely on him for everything.
Ji Qiongxin had once said that the future matron of the Xie family had to be courageous. She had to learn to handle a lot of things by herself.
In order to be on a par with Xie Limo and not be a burden to him, she would test her skills with this matter. She had already prepared a thorough plan. Regardless of the outcome, retreat would not be an option.
In the end, Xie Qi, Xie Ba, and Xie Shiyi courteously bowed to her and replied, "We will obey all Young Madam's orders." This was the choice that they had, and the decision to make. Since Young Master Xie wanted them to protect Young Madam, it wasn't wrong that their only master now was Young Madam.
