Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 614: Angry Lu Qingyi_1

"I don’t dislike you. It just feels like I am living in a dream, a dream I’ve been hoping for. I hesitate to commit because I’m afraid that once I do, the dream will end."

Li Xiyi’s expression was serious, a faint smile on her face conveyed an understated sweetness.

Yes, she had once dreamt about her and Jiang Chengyuan meeting, being together, and him proposing to her. The moment she reached out to accept the engagement ring, she woke up from the dream.

This had happened numerous times, which is why she was deeply afraid that this might just be another dream.

"This is not a dream,"

Jiang Chengyuan leans in and plants a gentle kiss on Li Xiyi’s lips, as fleeting as a dragonfly skipping on water.

The warmth reassures Li Xiyi that this is all real, not a dream.

After exchanging a few words, they start the meal.

Lu Zhizhou personally serves the dishes.

"When do you plan on getting married?"

A gentle smile crosses Lu Zhizhou’s face as she asks the question slowly.

"Sister Zhizhou, you’re not married either, so I’m not in a rush,"

Li Xiyi replies soft and slow, marriage is something she hasn’t thought about before and doesn’t feel particularly compelled about now.

"For me... it’s quite complicated. I can be your maid of honor,"

Lu Zhizhou suggests with a soft tone.

Yes, marrying He Chenguang would indeed be an intricate process she’s unsure about.

Her father would object, the only obstacle seems to be He Chenguang’s background.

After finishing her thoughts, Lu Zhizhou leaves, the sight of her retreating figure weighs heavy on Li Xiyi’s heart.

"Chengyuan, do you think your mother will like me?"

Li Xiyi turned to look at Jiang Chengyuan, asking softly.

Even though she’d be living with Jiang Chengyuan, she didn’t want to be prejudiced by her future mother-in-law.

The mother-daughter-in-law relationship has always been a delicate one. She loves Jiang Chengyuan and for his sake, hopes to win his mother’s fondness.

"She will like you."

Jiang Chengyuan strokes Li Xiyi’s head with doting affection before responding.

A hint of depth darkens his gaze when Li Xiyi wasn’t looking.

His mother adores his current fiancée, almost treating her like her own daughter. He’s uncertain if his mother would take a liking to Li Xiyi.

——

Lu Qingyi has started to stay home almost every day, not involving herself as much with other things. She left Ruan Qingyang’s situation for Xu Boyan to handle.

She spends most of her time sleeping.

Four months into her pregnancy but it still wasn’t showing noticeably, Lu Qingyi sat on her couch munching sunflower seeds while watching TV.

Her phone suddenly rang. She answered the call, her cold gaze narrowed. After dressing up and grabbing her car keys, she left without looking back.

"Yiyi, where are you going?"

Gu Xiang, who was simmering bone broth in the kitchen, freezes on the spot seeing Lu Qingyi hastily leaving.

Lu Qingyi had been so peaceful recently, something seemed wrong.

Gu Xiang rushes out to see but Lu Qingyi had already driven away.

Gu Xiang knew that Lu Qingyi hated being bothered, and viewed driving herself as bother, so if Lu Qingyan went out driving herself, the situation must be serious.

Xu Boyan has already left for the company and wasn’t home. Frantically, Gu Xiang dials his number.

Lu Qingyi drove at high speed.

——

Inside the police station, Jiang Yumeng sat on a bench while Xun Hanyu kept her company. He was heatedly articulating something to the police while a few girls Jiang Yumeng’s age were nearby.

The girls sat together, heads bowed and eyes reddened, having clearly cried prior.

When Lu Qingyi entered the police station, an air of hostility surrounded her. Her cold gaze swept across the individuals present.

"What happened?", Lu Qingyi asked in a cold voice.

"Sister Qing, sob sob sob..."

Jiang Yumeng looked up and started crying the moment she laid eyes on Lu Qingyi. She had a particularly wronged expression on her face.

She sometimes felt that as long as Lu Qingyi was around, she felt secure, which could inexplicably make her cry.

Jiang Yumeng wanted to snuggle up to Lu Qingyi, but stopped when she remembered Lu Qingyi was pregnant.

"They were smuggling drugs, suspects of drug trafficking, we are restraining them now."

Upon seeing Lu Qingyi, the police officer uniformely justified his actions. Drug trafficking was against the law.

Lu Qingyi doesn’t pay heed to the police, her doubtful gaze falls upon Jiang Yumeng.

How could Jiang Yumeng possibly be involved in drug trafficking?

"Sister Qing, sob sob sob..."

Jiang Yumeng continued crying, her weeping interrupted the narration.

"Yumeng, and girls, were part-timing at a teahouse. They don’t know when drugs were planted in their pockets. The police found the drugs in their possession and took them back to the station,"

Xun Hanyu explained. He rushed here after receiving a call from Jiang Yumeng. The sight of her tear-filled eyes left him with an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

Originally, they didn’t intend to trouble Lu Qingyi, especially considering she was pregnant and needed rest. However, even after an hour of investigation, the police were getting nowhere, so the charges naturally fell on the girls.

"Do you know who planted it?"

Lu Qingyi asked with a slightly cold expression, her eyes fixed on Jiang Yumeng.

Very well, the drug trafficking gang seemed to be asking for death, daring to extend their reach to the people close to her.

Lu Qingyi had heard rumors of a large drug trafficking organization in Kyoto, but since they didn’t threaten her, she couldn’t be bothered.

She felt it was enough to take care of her own affairs, remote from the world, not considering herself a saint who could descend and help people. She couldn’t possibly save everyone in the world.

"Sister Qing, I don’t know. It could have been there from the start or planted later."

Jiang Yumeng kept shaking her head, her eyes red from sobbing.

She didn’t know anything and was terribly scared, on the brink of panic. This was her first time in a police station and she was extremely frightened.

She had no idea how the drugs ended up in her pocket.

"Right, right, we didn’t know anything."

"My pocket was empty this morning, I don’t know how they got there, sob sob sob."

"I dare not deal drugs."

"I’m innocent, I didn’t do anything."

"I don’t know why there are drugs in my pocket, I really don’t know anything."

"..."

The group of terrified girls formed a huddle, shivering uncontrollably.
