In the end, his sister really went missing. However, he couldn’t find her just by this birthmark, and he was entrusted with this mission by his mother.
Before his mother died, her last wish was to find his sister. Even though Han Qing found her later and took Han Xueyou to his mother’s grave, he always felt that something was wrong. He didn’t know what was wrong until he met Shen Qi.
Maybe he had found the wrong person at the beginning—perhaps Han Xueyou was not the sister he was looking for. The person he was looking for was the woman in front of him—Shen Qi.
Although there was still not enough evidence to confirm that, and all the data that he found had not made any progress, he could confirm, with a crazed certainty, that the person in front of her was the sister he had been looking for.
He sometimes wondered if he had gone crazy. He had obviously only met her once, yet he immediately asked Su Jiu to look into her background and stared at her like a pervert.
This was because she felt like that person to him.
But even if he was crazy, Han Qing still didn’t want to admit it at this time. He felt that he just wanted to fulfill his mother’s dying wish that had haunted him since childhood.
He had been spending his entire life looking for his sister all the time.
For more than 20 years, even after finding Han Xueyou, he felt that he hadn’t really let go.
Although all the evidence was right, everything felt wrong to him.
“It’s nothing. Forget it.” Han Qing pursed his thin lips, and he couldn’t bring himself to ask about it in the end.
What if I scared her off after asking? And what if I startled Han Xueyou by asking this out loud?
Shen Qi froze for a moment. She could see the conflicted expression on Han Qing’s face as well as the deep pain engraved in his eyes. Obviously, he looked very flustered by this matter—Shen Qi could feel it by just sitting across him.
She originally thought he would ask her, but he held his words back unexpectedly.
Shen Qi was very curious about the question that was so difficult for him to ask out loud. Her curiosity at the moment was completely piqued by him, but she could only ask, “President Han, is there a reason behind your hesitation?”
Hearing that, Han Qing looked at her face and her eyes. Finally, he smiled bitterly. “It’s nothing. Let’s talk about it another time.”
Shen Qi remained silent.
It seemed like she wouldn’t be getting an answer today.
Shen Qi didn’t think too much and nodded. “Alright, then.”
The waiter brought the dishes to them, but Han Qing didn’t have the appetite to eat. He just raised his hand to check the time and said, “There are many things to deal with in my company…”
Hence Shen Qi hurriedly said, “President Han, just get back to work first. I’ll stay and finish this.”
“Okay.”
Han Qing got up and nodded at Shen Qi. Then, he went to the counter to foot the bill and left.
As soon as he left, Zhu Yun and Mr. Jin walked quickly to Shen Qi.
“Young Lady, what did President Han ask you? He looked so mysterious, not letting us stick around. And he also looked conflicted when he left. What happened?” Zhu Yun asked like a curious cat. Though she looked very reliable in the villa, when she was out and about, she looked like she was curious about everything.
Thinking of this, Shen Qi smiled slightly. “He didn’t actually ask me anything.”
“Nothing?” Zhu Yun widened her eyes. “How is that possible? I saw him saying a lot of things to you. Is it because the question is too private so you don’t want to tell me?”
Mr. Jin was stunned for a moment before he called out, “Zhu Yun!”
Zhu Yun returned to her senses and straightened her body without uttering another word.
Shen Qi replied in a low voice, “It’s not what you guys think. He did have a question that he wanted to ask me, but probably because he hasn’t figured it out yet, so in the end, he still didn’t ask anything. We have been out for a long time today, and the food in this restaurant looks pretty appetizing. Let’s sit down and eat together.”
Zhu Yun and Mr. Jin’s expressions changed immediately. “Servants can’t eat on the same table as their masters, of course.”
“Oh, there’s no such thing! You all have been very nice to me, and I can’t possibly finish all these by myself. Zhu Yun, please call Mr. Jin to sit down and eat together.”
Shen Qi was too easy-going—in the end, the two of them were finally persuaded by her and sat down to share the food with her.
On the way back, Zhu Yun suddenly held Shen Qi’s arm. “Young Lady, you are really the best person I have ever met. Don’t worry, I won’t tell Young Master Ye a word about what happened today.”
Shen Qi was quiet when she heard that.
Zhu Yun is actually a foodie, isn’t she? It looks like she has just been bribed by food.
“What happened today is not something important. On top of that, Han Qing and I are exactly what you see, and there is no special relationship between us.”
“Yeah!” Zhu Yun nodded vigorously. “Young Lady, don’t worry. Both Mr. Jin and I can tell that Han Qing has no other thoughts about you and that he is a gentleman.”
“It’s just that… he seems to have a special feeling for you, but I can’t tell what it is exactly…”
Hearing this, Shen Qi went silent. She didn’t expect that Zhu Yun, who saw Han Qing for the first time today, felt the same way too. She had always thought that she was the only one who felt this way. But because it was just her personal thought, she never dared to say anything, fearing that others might say that she thought too much into this.
Shen Qi also felt that special emotion that was like a brother’s love.
After that, she convinced herself that she probably felt this way because she and Han Xueyou were good sisters, while Han Qing was Han Xueyou’s brother.
Xueyou…
After thinking of her, Shen Qi’s expression darkened.
Well, she’s the source of a problem as well. Shen Qi didn’t know when it would be resolved. Ye Moxuan had told her that he would tell her the truth, but he had not told her anything yet.
That night, Ye Moxuan hugged Shen Qi to sleep once again.
In the dark, Shen Qi’s breathing was uneven, and the movements of the chest of the man behind her were the same. “What’s wrong? Couldn’t sleep?”
Shen Qi blinked in the darkness and suddenly turned around to lean into Ye Moxuan’s arms.
Ye Moxuan embraced her fully. The woman cuddled into his arms softly, making him smile involuntarily. His thin lips fell on the top of her hair. “Insomnia?”
“Yeah…” Shen Qi replied in a daze.
Ye Moxuan was silent for a while. Then, he suddenly stretched his big hand around her waist and stroked it gently. “Since you can’t sleep, then… shall we do something meaningful?” he asked in a low and sexy voice, like a cello that was playing some slow music.
Shen Qi, who was in his arms, became quiet for a moment, but she suddenly reached out her hand and hammered on his chest hard. Ye Moxuan smiled as he took her punch and hugged her even more tightly. “I was just saying that. Why are you so angry?”
“Don’t even think about it!” Shen Qi growled in a low voice.
“I can’t even think about it?”
“No!”
“How domineering.” Ye Moxuan couldn’t help laughing out loud again, but he liked her this way.
