Yan Qingsi was doubly certain that Yue Tingfeng would call her again soon, even if she did not return his earlier calls.

True enough, Yue Tingfeng’s call came.

She waited a good ten seconds before picking it up and asking, “What’s up?”

“What were you doing?”

Luo City’s nighttime temperatures were not that cold in June, but even with the phone separating them, she could feel the coldness in Yue Tingfeng’s voice.

She curled her lips and replied, “At this hour, murder and arson of course.”

As soon as she said that, Yue Tingfeng ascertained that if Yan Qingsi was not meeting another man, then she was most likely coming up with a plan for her revenge.

Yue Tingfeng desired impulsively to pull the reins in on her. At times, the sight of her unbridled wildness left him unsettled, and an indescribable feeling would come over him.

In the early days, Yue Tingfeng found it amusing and interesting to see her unleash her savagery.

Much later, however, he was more and more reluctant to let her continue doing that.

Yue Tingfeng said, “Stop it. Don’t stubbornly stick on that path. I’ll help you crush the Yan family’s company. You don’t need to do anything anymore.”

Yan Qingsi stopped walking. She felt like laughing all of a sudden because a man had just offered to help her get revenge!

She looked up and smiled icily. “I can’t turn back anymore. I’ve gotten my hands dirty from the very beginning.”

A burst of anxiety surfaced in Yue Tingfeng’s heart. He had the nagging feeling that Yan Qingsi’s downfall would come at any time because of his inability to get a hold of her.

He said sternly, “Yan Qingsi. I’ve said it before. I can give you anything you want.”

Yan Qingsi faced the windy night as she walked on the street, saying, “I’ll get what I want by myself.”

There was no way she would let someone else exact vengeance on behalf of her and her mother.

Some things had to be done on one’s own. She did not have a care in the world about what the future held or whether she might face her fall—the only thing she wanted was to see death befall the Yan family.

Yue Tingfeng felt irritated. “Where are you?”

Yan Qingsi hung up and switched off her phone.

Accustomed to the struggles in the wake of despair, Yan Qingsi was used to the indifference and malice shown by others toward her, training her to easily determine who posed a danger to her. When it came to the kindness that was shown to her by others, she had poor judgment because she did not know how to accept it.

The following day, after Yan Qingsi finished filming her scenes, Miss Mai called her and Leng Ran together. She briefed them about the scheduling arrangements once Requiem had wrapped up filming.

When Miss Mai finished, Yan Qingsi said, “Miss Mai, I’d like to take a day off tomorrow.”

Miss Mai frowned. “What for?”

Yan Qingsi smiled and said, “The Luo clan is organizing their annual company party tomorrow…”

She had yet to finish her sentence, but Miss Mai quickly knew what was going on.

“You…”

Yan Qingsi remarked innocently, “Don’t worry, I’m not going to wreak havoc. It’s just really sad if I’m absent from an occasion like tomorrow’s.”

Miss Mai knew that she was powerless to stop Yan Qingsi when it came to those kinds of things. She said, “Go…then. Be careful.”

Leng Ran asked, “Miss Qingsi, you’ll be going to the Luo clan’s party?”

“Are you going, too?”

Leng Ran smiled shyly, revealing his adorable fang-like teeth. “My family received an invitation. I didn’t want to go at first, but if you’re going, I’d like to follow you.”

Yan Qingsi nodded. “Sure. Coincidentally, I need a male companion. Come with me then.”

The Yan family would surely show up to the Luo clan’s party.

It was about time that Yan Qingsi entered the fore since she was also a member of the Yan family.

Having been absent for three years, their familial affection and nostalgia ought to be reignited once again.
