20: Chapter 20 Showing One’s Edge (1) 20: Chapter 20 Showing One’s Edge (1) Both individuals were not much for talking, one warm and tranquil, the other icy and reticent.

Although their characters were poles apart, the atmosphere at the dinner table was damnably harmonious.

An Yiqing realized that Gu Yelin really knew a lot, in many aspects he could be described as learned and well-versed.

Gu Yelin himself was quite surprised, this young woman was able to chip into any topic he brought up.

This pleasantly astonished him.

When he saw her the previous night, he was captivated by her clean and warm temperament, which was neither pretentious nor naive like a flower in a greenhouse.

Her calm demeanor, the clever sharpness she demonstrated in her retort to Zhang Lin, successfully drew his attention.

And today, he gained a deeper understanding of her.

This young woman was like a treasure, continuously drawing him in to explore and uncover more.

Thus, it has to be said, a good woman is like a renowned book, making those who read her long for more and unwilling to part with her.

The meal relaxed both individuals greatly, and An Yiqing was very happy.

She felt that she could discuss anything with this man and he would understand perfectly, giving her a strong desire to confide.

Although he spoke little, every word was incisive and efficient.

Apart from her master, this man was the most outstanding person she had encountered.

The meal was not long, but it brought their hearts closer…

Unconsciously, more than an hour had passed, and they were both nearly done eating.

After resting for a while, they stood up and left the restaurant.

Gu Yelin drove An Yiqing back to her dormitory and waited until he saw the lights of the dormitory turn on before leaving.

The night was quiet and mysterious; some people were experiencing joy and warmth, while others were enduring unspeakable fears.

“Ahhh—!” A piercing, twisted scream echoed in the empty office building, before slowly dissipating as if nothing had happened.

The next morning, Muyun Group.

In an antique room, a figure in white sat upright on a sofa.

A few thin sheets of paper were spread out on the coffee table in front of him, bearing clear images of a girl with a warm and angelic smile, her eyes seemingly gleaming, pure and clear.

That girl was An Yiqing!

“Family Head, there’s very little information on An Yiqing.

Even mobilizing all our resources, this is all we’ve managed to gather,” Ruan Hao said with a touch of frustration.

After all that searching, this An Yiqing turned out to be his own sister’s friend, forcing him to remark how small the world was.

Duan Tang’s long and immaculate fingers tapped on the papers a few times.

The girl was easy to find; the Xuan University forums were abuzz with her stories of rescuing someone.

However… the information gathered was all about her few months at Xuan University, there was almost nothing on her upbringing.

Seeing Duan Tang silent, Ruan Hao hesitated for a moment before he spoke up, “Family Head, do we need to approach An Yiqing through Xiao Xue?”

“No need,” Duan Tang rose and walked to the window.

His tall figure was elegant and refined, his exceptional appearance resembling that of a peerless nobleman, “She is the savior of the old patriarch, we should seek her out openly and honestly.

Don’t let your sister know for now, let’s keep Ruan Xue out of this matter.”

Faced with this, Ruan Hao could only agree with a nod, “Then when shall we…”

“Let’s go, to the hospital, to meet the old patriarch’s savior.” Before Ruan Hao could finish his sentence, Duan Tang had already answered his question.

A warm smile filled his fair and handsome face.

Xuan University

Ruan Xue headed straight to the classroom after returning to school this morning, knowing An Yiqing and Gu Tingting would save her a seat.

Upon seeing An Yiqing, Ruan Xue excitedly performed a “Eagle Claw” move on her, nearly causing An Yiqing internal injury.

For a long, grueling fifty minutes, An Yiqing endured the torture of Ruan Xue’s and Gu Tingting’s shrill voices, and by the time class was over, she felt faint.

She stretched her hands forward, cupping them in a fist, and said pitifully, “Mercy, noble heroines.

I’ll treat you both to something delicious tonight.” Ruan Xue and Gu Tingting shared a knowing glance and burst out laughing—the sight of Qingqing looking so defeated was utterly adorable!
