Autumn arrived, and Luo Tianyuan had completely forgotten about the fact that heâd exchanged numbers with Qiu Yutong.
Until he received a call from her one fine afternoon.
âTianyuan, Iâm sorry for bothering you at this hour. I canât do this alone, and you know that Iâm new to Ning City. I donât know anyone else here, and Iâm not very close to my colleagues. Since a few days ago, I felt like someone has been following me back home, and Iâm not sure if my instincts are right. Iâm very scared, and Iâve been staying with another female colleague at the companyâs staff quarters, but she hasnât been staying here these daysâ¦â Qin Yutong sounded helpless, and it seemed like she was about to burst into tears at any moment.
Luo Tianyuan knew that Qin Yutong was exceptionally beautiful, and had many admirers in Jing City. Thus, her looks must be a value adding feature to have in this small city.
They were good friends in the past, and graduated from the same university. Thus, he couldnât just let her face things alone. He said in a low voice, âDonât worry, what time will you be getting off from work?â
Qin Yutong sniffled and said, âI donât have much to do today, so I should be going home at 5.â
âAlright, Iâll apply for a leave from the company and go to pick you up. Take me to the path youâd usually take to go back to your accommodation.â
Qin Yutong held back a tear and said, âAlright, Tianyuan, thank you. Iâm so scared.â
Luo Tianyuan comforted her a bit more before he hung up the phone. He informed his colleagues that heâll be leaving and headed to his car.
As soon as he left, Song Wanqing arrived. She sat in her car while she watched him drive away. When she saw that he was heading in the opposite direction from his house. She instructed her driver to keep an eye out for him. âFollow his car, but donât go too near, donât let him notice us.â
Song Wanqing was in a different car today, so even if Luo Tianyuan looked through his rear mirror, he wouldnât be able to recognise her car.
One month had gone by since they last spoke.
Song Wanqing was the apple of her parentâs eyes. No one has ever allowed her to lose out, be it on material or intangible wealth. Thus, she was a proud woman who shouldnât cut Luo Tianyuan out of her life as soon as he said such hurtful words to her. She had planned to cut him out from her life, however, her plans didnât work out; her heart started to change after a month of not seeing him, and she mustered up the courage to visit him today.
Luo Tianyuan didnât know that Song Wanqing was following him and he drove all the way to Qin Yutongâs office.
He looked at his watch. He had specified the timing with her through the phone, and she had agreed to be at the entrance on time. Heâd even rushed to get there on time. Yet, after 10 minutes, she hadnât come out from the building.
He gave it some thought and asked the elderly guard at the office entrance about her whereabouts. The kind old man helped him to phone the office. Within minutes, Qin Yutong was running out from the building.
The weather wasnât very hot today, so she was dressed in a white blouse and a mid length skirt. Sheâd also put on a soft puffer jacket, which made her look very gentle and elegant.
Qin Yutong seemed to feel bad. âTianyuan, Iâm sorry, I had to help my colleague with something just now and I really couldnât leave. Have you waited long? If not, how about I treat you to a meal?â
Luo Tianyuan laughed. âNo need, I didnât wait long either. Plus, my daughterâs class teacher is coming for a home visit later, so I donât have much time for a meal. Perhaps another time.â
Qin Yutong was shocked for a moment before she regained composure. âFine then, your child should be your priority.â
When she noticed that Luo Tianyuan had driven over, Qin Yutong was surprised. âIs this your company car?â
Luo Tianyuan opened her side of the car door and said, âI guess so.â
In actuality, they werenât talking about much, but in the eyes of Song Wanqing who was peeking from afar, they were crossing the line.
She was furious, and her hands held tightly onto her bag.
True enough, Luo Tianyuan had lied to her when he said that they werenât suitable. He left her because heâd fallen in love with someone else. This explained everything that happened in the past month; from him stating that he would never marry, and to why he reacted so coldly when she went to find him at his house. Turns out, some other woman was in his life!

Song Wanqing had never been so furious.
She would never allow anyone to snatch her things away from her!
âGo find out who that woman is!â
Song Wanqing was beyond furious
In the meantime, Luo Tianyuan and Song Wanqing didnât talk throughout the car ride.
