Chapter 387: Chapter 387: The Good Days Have Just Begun, I Don’t Want to Die Young!
On that day, Qi Yue decided to visit the newly built medicinal factory to inspect the progress and to arrange some important matters.
By the time she returned, the sky had already darkened, yet someone delivered a message on a slip of paper. After Zhao Xiyan read it, he said he needed to go out.
“Yueyue, why not come with me?”
Having been busy all day, Qi Yue actually preferred not to go, so she declined.
“I’d rather not. I’ll wait for you at home.”
Zhao Xiyan initially agreed, but something seemed to cross his mind, and he too waved his hand.
“I’d better not go either. I’ll stay home with you.”
Knowing that he was worried about the arrival of Shengong, Qi Yue smiled and said, “You should go. It might be something important, and Shengong won’t arrive so soon.”
Nevertheless, Zhao Xiyan shook his head.
“No, it’s certain trouble with that guy around. Last time, it was because of meeting him that you had to face Lin An alone.”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue’s interest was piqued.
“Who is it? Someone so ominous?”
“A brother from the Capital City, whom I grew up with.”
“So, you’re saying that you have a good relationship with this person?”
“Hmm, he’s from the notorious Feidao Camp, and he was the one who told me about the situation with Lin An.”
“Oh, there is such a matter? Then let’s meet with him.”
“Aren’t you tired?”
“Not tired anymore, let’s go meet him.”
“….”
After making brief preparations, they went out again.
As it was a secret meeting, they didn’t bring anyone else with them. The carriage took a discreet route before finally arriving at a restaurant on South Main Street.
Once they dismounted from the carriage, dusk was approaching. Led by the waiter, they arrived at a spacious hall on the third floor.
In the bright light of lanterns, a man in green clothes was sitting.
His features were handsome, but his expression was indifferent, as if he were pondering over something.
Qi Yue couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.
This man was actually Fatou, whom she had encountered several times before.
“I reckoned you would be arriving soon…” Fatou said with a smile, rising to greet them.
The moment he saw Qi Yue, he obviously paused, as if he recognized something.
“Xiyan… This wouldn’t happen to be Miss Qi Yue, would it?”
Zhao Xiyan glanced at him disdainfully and took Qi Yue’s hand.
“Are you blind, or is your brain not functioning? Besides her, do you think I would bring any other woman with me?”
Fatou was taken aback momentarily, his lips curling slightly.
“Well, that’s true. You’re the type who isn’t impressed by other women.”
Zhao Xiyan didn’t say more, leading Qi Yue to sit down at the side.
“Meeting me in such a hurry, do you have any urgent news to share?”
“Of course, I do.” Fatou took a seat opposite them, his gaze uncontrollably sweeping over Qi Yue’s face for a moment.
He continued, quickly explaining the matter at hand. Apparently, the Feidao Camp had also received news about Shengong.
“Judging by his actions, he is determined to find Lin An and will probably arrive in three to four days.”
During the conversation, Qi Yue didn’t say a word.
She recognized Fatou and was quite sure that he recognized her too.
However, the fact that they knew each other didn’t seem necessary to mention under the current circumstances. She decided to just mention it to Zhao Xiyan once they got back.
As she thought this, Zhao Xiyan asked a few more questions.
“Fatou, last time you mentioned that the woman you were interested in had arrived in Longnan. Have you found her yet?”
Hearing this, Qi Yue’s lips involuntarily twitched.
Zhao Xiyan was too sharp.
He probably noticed something from the way Fatou had looked at her earlier and was deliberately asking this question now.
When Fatou was suddenly asked, he was bound to glance at her again.
“Xiyan, since when do you care about my personal affairs?”
Fatou pursed his lips, slightly embarrassed as he finished speaking, and indeed couldn’t help but cast a glance at Qi Yue.
“Now that I am married, you and I have always referred to each other as brothers, so naturally, it’s my concern.” Zhao Xiyan said with a slight smile, grasping Qi Yue’s hand softly.
“Shall we have Yueyue arrange something for you?”
Fatou lowered his head and, after a long pause, finally spoke, “There’s no need to trouble yourself. I only recently received definite news that the woman I fancy isn’t here.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiyan smiled again.
“Since that’s the case, Yueyue and I won’t meddle with your affairs. You should take charge of your own matters closely.”
“Understood.”
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two of them left.
Once back in the carriage, Zhao Xiyan’s first words were, “Do you know him?”
“Not really,” Qi Yue had nothing to hide, so she recounted the entire situation.
“If it weren’t for his lack of obvious aggression, I would have finished him off the first time we met. Who knew he was actually your brother?”
Hearing this, Zhao Xiyan was left speechless.
Grimly thinking for a good while before he could only begrudgingly say,
“This kid actually dares to fancy you, sooner or later…”
Qi Yue found his words strange and hurriedly cut him off.
“Alright, stop overthinking. When Fatou met me, we were divorced, I was single. I can’t just tell everyone I meet, ‘You can’t like me,’ right?”
Zhao Xiyan stared at her for a moment before frowning slightly.
“I never considered the divorce real. You’ve muddled my heart, and you’ll always be my person.”
“Uh…”
An unexpected confession.
Qi Yue blushed slightly.
——She loved it most when Zhao Xiyan said sweet nothings with a calm face.
“…I had originally thought about keeping him around, but luckily I took you with me today, otherwise wouldn’t that be like burying a landmine beside me?” Zhao Xiyan continued speaking.
Transitioning from his confession to dealing with Fatou’s feelings for him was incredibly smooth and effortless, without hesitation.
Qi Yue couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
“I think Fatou isn’t the kind of person that can’t see the situation clearly, and I wouldn’t have anything to do with him anyway. Aren’t you making a big deal out of a small issue?”
Yet Zhao Xiyan was completely serious.
“Fatou and I are too similar. Once he falls for someone, it’s not so easy for him to let go. It’s better to keep your distance.”
Qi Yue was speechless.
“Alright, as long as you’re happy.”
The matter was thus put aside, and Qi Yue didn’t take it too seriously.
After that day, she never saw Fatou again nor did Zhao Xiyan bring him up.
Because the arrival of the official was imminent, she was busy preparing various life-saving items.
Weapons, poison, hidden weapons…
She prepared anything that might come in handy.
Zhao Xiyan was also busy arranging guards around the residence.
And so they remained on alert for several days, yet the news of the official suddenly vanished into thin air.
“So you’re saying the official just disappeared on his way to Longnan County Government?”
“Yes, according to the report that’s the case.” Zhao Xiyan mused for a moment, “However, we can’t rule out the possibility that he’s already entered the city.”
Qi Yue flipped through the documents in her hand and asked with some disbelief, “Is this official really as formidable as you say?”
“Yes,” Zhao Xiyan nodded, “Most people’s skills deteriorate with age, but he has retained his peak state from his younger years, truly a rare talent. Moreover, he’s eccentric and unpredictable, which makes him particularly tough to deal with.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Xiyan showed clear concern.
“Yueyue, your ability can handle most people, except for the official. If he finds out that Lin An’s disappearance is related to us, this old rascal definitely won’t let it go easily. So, you must not leave my side, understand?”
“Understood.”
Qi Yue readily agreed.
When it came to preserving her life, Qi Yue was very serious.
Her good days had just begun, and she didn’t want to die young!
She definitely needed to stay clear of dangerous characters!
Just as the two of them were making preparations for the official, two unexpected visitors arrived at Longnan County Government first.
