Spoiled Sparrow

"Miss, you look unfamiliar. Would you mind getting to know me?"

Ruan Qing put down her wine glass and politely looked up.

"Hello there."

The man was wearing a pink suit, and his foundation was even thicker than hers.

He would occasionally wink at her, just like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Yin Xuanya stepped forward angrily: "Qi Fei, what are you saying to this woman?!"

She had a loud voice, and her words drew frequent glances from those around them.

Qi Fei immediately pulled her close, covering her mouth with one hand: "My dear, keep your voice down!"

Yin Xuanya pried his hands off and glared fiercely at Ruan Qing.

They really are trying to climb the social ladder.

She pointed at Ruan Qing: "Shameless! He's my fiancé! Who let you in? Security, throw her out!"

Everyone knows she is the eldest daughter of the Yin family, and has been arrogant and domineering since childhood.

No one dared to disobey her.

Ruan Qing rolled her eyes at the people who had gathered around her, speechless, and scolded Yin Xuanya: "Miss, are you alright? Don't let men out if you can't control them. They're annoying."

"you--"

Yin Xuanya was furious and raised her hand to hit her.

Unexpectedly, her wrist was gripped tightly in mid-air, causing her to wince in pain.

The people around immediately took a half step back, not daring to say another word.

"They really let just anyone in."

He Xun Nan shook off her hand and wiped it clean with a wet wipe in front of everyone.

He kept his head down, not even glancing at her: "Get lost."

Qi Fei pulled Yin Xuanya away quickly, without saying another word.

He Xunnan wiped his hands clean, took Ruan Qing's hand, and led her to sit down.

Everyone who saw this scene was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

"Holy crap, who is this guy?"

"Didn't you see Young Master He holding her hand? What else could their relationship be?"

"I didn't expect him to come. No wonder he never participated in these kinds of events before. So he came to announce that he's not single anymore?"

In the crowd, a deep gaze followed her intently.

The man stood tall and straight in the interplay of light and shadow.

A pair of blue eyes gazed at her face.

I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before.

......

The hushed whispers drifted into her ears intermittently. Ruan Qing looked at his hand tightly clenched around her wrist, feeling awkward.

She broke free and said, "Thank you, brother."

He Xunan looked up: "What are you thanking me for? We're all family."

Since you're family, why didn't you just say she was from the He family?

Let those people talk and speculate there...

Ruan Qing looked somewhat embarrassed, and she said bluntly, "You just said I was your sister—"

"Ruan Qing".

He Xunnan interrupted her directly: "Not now. I will throw a banquet just for you to celebrate your return home."

His attitude was resolute, even giving Ruan Qing the feeling of being ordered around.

Ruan Qing didn't speak, and the two of them just sat there, the atmosphere subtle.

She could clearly sense that the He Xunnan she knew now was different from the He Xunnan she had first met.

She stood up irritably: "I'm going to the restroom."

He Xunan watched her departing figure, his eyes trembling slightly.

The person is already by his side; one day, he will get what he wants.

Ruan Qing walked through the crowd, leaning against the wall, her thoughts in turmoil.

Suddenly, someone appeared beside me.

"Are you Mr. He's girlfriend?"

Ruan Qing turned around, and a woman with a hot figure was standing next to her.

The red bodycon dress accentuated her figure perfectly, and despite her Asian features, she somehow gave off a Hong Kong beauty vibe reminiscent of the 80s.

Ruan Qing laughed and denied it: "No, I'm his sister."

"Let's be friends, Pei Yifei." She extended her hand. "And you?"

Her tone was calm and soothing.

Ruan Qing returned the handshake and said, "Ruan Qing."

Pei Yifei smiled and said, "The Pei family and the He family are old friends. Since you are Young Master He's sister, then you are my sister too."

Ruan Qing found her words strange, but couldn't quite put her finger on why.

After exchanging a few casual words, she made an excuse to leave.

Because of He Xunnan, people would approach him and strike up a conversation wherever he went.

In one night, all the young masters and ladies, big and small, got to know each other.

As soon as she got on the bus, she fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.

Pei Yifei frowned as she watched Ruan Qing and He Xun Nan get into a car.

She picked up her phone and called her father, Pei: "Dad, did you know the He family has another daughter?"

"What a joke! Hezhou has been dead for over twenty years. Where would he get a daughter? Are you drunk again? Get back here right now!"

She hung up the phone and stared intently at the departing car.

"Help me look up someone..."

The night view outside the window rushed past.

Ruan Qing sat by the car window, feeling drowsy.

Unconsciously, he tilted his head and fell into a deep sleep, his brows slightly furrowed, but his sleep was not peaceful.

He Xunnan turned his head and looked at her for a long time, his eyes filled with turbulent emotions.

He slowly raised his arm, carefully put his arm around her shoulder, and gently moved her head, which was resting against the car window, to his broad shoulder to support it.

He moved very lightly, afraid that the slightest noise would wake her.

Her hair brushed against his neck for a brief moment, but it was enough to make him stop breathing and dare not move.

Only at this moment did he realize that he was innocent.

She really is back.

His tears silently slid down to the tip of her nose. Ruan Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly. She wanted to sit up, but then she heard him whisper.

"I miss you so much, I miss you so much..."

His words were utterly broken.

It seems that being stolen away by Shen Zhaolan back then really left a deep shadow on him.

Ruan Qing closed her eyes, giving him some time.

A wave of self-reproach washed over me; I had actually doubted him just now, how could I...?

Before she knew it, she had fallen into a deep sleep.

She didn't hear the two very soft words above her head...

After returning home, she lay on the bed and took out the new phone card that Uncle Zhang had given her.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten my domestic SIM card yet, so I can't access domestic apps and websites.

She put down her phone and prepared to rest.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I suddenly experienced severe abdominal cramps.

In just one minute, I broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the pain subsided after it subsided.

"What's wrong with you these past few days...?"

I've never had this problem before my period. Could it be that I'm having trouble adjusting to the water and soil during my period?

She lay down on the bed and opened a search engine.

A line of text is quickly typed on the screen with fingertips.

Why do I experience intermittent abdominal cramps before my period?

Ruan Qing examined it for a long time; intestinal obstruction, gastroenteritis...

At the end, she suddenly sat up.
