Autumn Wind had just approached the restaurant door when a waiter warmly greeted her, "Sister Qiu, Mr. Huang is already waiting for you in the Second Floor Private Room!"
The waiter's enthusiasm left Autumn Wind feeling a bit puzzled. She bit her lower lip, remained silent, and nodded slightly as she followed the waiter upstairs.
Fish sat in the car, quietly watching Autumn Wind's figure, sighing repeatedly.
"Sister Jiang, I'll take you home first!" Uncle Liu said, looking at Fish through the rearview mirror.
"I'm not going home! Hey, just watch, Autumn Wind is heading for trouble today; soon she'll be surrounded by Paparazzi!" Fish said with certainty.
Uncle Liu's expression showed disbelief.
"Don't doubt me! Last time it was right here... Hey, Uncle Liu, park the car in the back lot!" Fish furrowed her brows and shared her thoughts.
After a moment of consideration, Uncle Liu followed Fish's instructions and parked the car in the back lot of the Western restaurant.
As the car came to a stop, just as Fish was about to open the door, two more cars pulled into the two parking spaces to their left.
Fish squinted at the two cars, feeling they looked somewhat familiar.
The doors opened, and Qiu Hai got out of one of the cars while another door opened to reveal Liu Jian peeking out.
In that moment, Fish felt her heart stop; what was happening...
As Qiu Hai turned around and saw the car behind her, a smile appeared on her lips as she recognized it as Autumn Wind's usual ride. What? She's here too!
Liu Jian did not comment on Qiu Hai's subtle change in expression. After parking, he walked directly toward the front entrance.
Qiu Hai raised an eyebrow slightly and followed Liu Jian toward the front of the Western restaurant.
When Qiu Hai and Liu Jian's figures disappeared from Fish's sight, her heart slowly resumed its beating. "Oh my gosh! Something really is going to happen!"
She fumbled to take out her phone, dialing Autumn Wind's number, but there was no sound from the receiver. "Damn signal! Ahe, hurry up and come with me!"
Fish patted Ahe's shoulder and jumped out of the car.
In the private room at the end of the second-floor corridor on the left, Huang Zihe and Hai were anxiously waiting for Autumn Wind's arrival.
"Ahe, do you still remember Autumn Wind?" Hai tapped on the craft on the table, feeling a bit uneasy.
"Her memory can't be that bad, right?"
"No, I saw in the newspaper that she had a car accident and even forgot her fiancé. Isn't that why they broke off the engagement?" Hai looked up and said seriously.
After hearing this from Hai, Huang Zihe suddenly recalled that there indeed was such a report; Autumn Wind had lost her memories after the New Year. But their communication also happened after the New Year! She actually remembers me!
Could it be... Huang Zihe made a bold guess that this woman was indeed extraordinary.
A smile crept onto Huang Zihe's lips. Hai looked up and saw Huang Zihe's strange smile. "Ahe, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing..." Just as Huang Zihe spoke, there was a knock at the door.
"Mr. Huang, Sister Qiu has arrived!"
"Come in!" Huang Zihe exchanged glances with Hai before speaking.
Autumn Wind smiled at the waiter in thanks and then pushed open the door to the private room.
"Wow, Sister Qiufeng!" Hai jumped in front of Autumn Wind as soon as she opened the door. "Do you remember me?"
Autumn Wind was startled by the sea and took a few unsteady steps back, finally leaning against the wall to steady herself.
"Hey, you're going to scare Sister Qiu!" Huang Zihe also stood up and gently patted the sea's shoulder. "Sister Qiu, please..."
Huang Zihe looked up at Autumn Wind and had to admit that at the moment she saw Autumn Wind's face, she was somewhat taken aback. If the last time Autumn Wind had a hint of a pregnant woman's laziness and untidiness, now Autumn Wind looked like a fairy descended from heaven, pleasing to the eye.
Autumn Wind smiled at Huang Zihe and then walked to the chair and sat down.
Huang Zihe casually closed the door and sat back down with the sea.
"Wow, Sister Qiufeng, I really didn't expect you to be this amazing!" As soon as the sea sat down, she exclaimed.
"How so?" Autumn Wind brushed her bangs back, her eyes slightly squinting as she examined the sea. "You've changed a lot too. By the way, how come you and..." She looked at the sea and then at Huang Zihe. "How did you both end up here together?"
"Hey, I'm currently working as an assistant to the manager of y()!" Huang Zihe was about to speak when the sea jumped in with an answer.
Noticing that Huang Zihe was interrupted by the sea, Autumn Wind gave Huang Zihe a slight smile. "Oh, that must be quite tough!"
"It's not bad! The manager knows you too; he originally wanted to visit together, but..."
"Alright, enough of that!" Huang Zihe finally found an opportunity to interrupt the sea. The sea didn't know about Autumn Wind's acquaintance with the manager, but Huang Zihe did.
Autumn Wind let out a dry laugh. "Have you ordered yet? Today it's on me; just order whatever you want..." She reached for the menu and handed it to the sea.
The sea was still a child at heart; upon receiving the menu from Autumn Wind, she started chattering again: "Although it's usually expected for guys to pay when dining with girls, here in Taipei, Sister Qiufeng is the host! Besides, everything here is so expensive!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Zihe's expression suddenly turned sour.
"It's fine, just order whatever you like; it's on me!" Autumn Wind noticed Huang Zihe's displeasure and immediately reassured her. She smiled at Huang Zihe, signaling her not to mind.
The three of them ordered their meals, and Hai took the initiative to get up and hand the order to the waiter.
"Hey, you can actually use the machine here!" Autumn Wind said, but by then, Hai had already rushed out the door. "Hey..." Autumn Wind sighed and shrugged helplessly.
After Hai left, Autumn Wind and Huang Zihe sat quietly on the bench, both silent, with a solemn stillness filling the space.
Autumn Wind cleared his throat and broke the silence, "Is he doing okay?"
Huang Zihe naturally knew that "he" referred to Li Gu.
A surge of hatred welled up in his heart as he furrowed his brows, biting his lower lip. After a moment, he replied, "Yeah, he's doing well!" Yet inside, he couldn't help but curse bitterly: It's all your fault, you damn woman, Li Gu.
However, Huang Zihe had to admit that if Autumn Wind always looked as stunning in front of Li Gu as she did now, she certainly had the right to make a man go through fire and water for her.
"Mm!" Autumn Wind responded lightly upon hearing Huang Zihe's answer.
To ease the awkwardness, Huang Zihe quickly searched for another topic. "I heard Qiu Ruolan is your mother?" Excluding Li Gu, Qiu Ruolan was the only one who connected both of them.
"Yeah, last time you called me using her phone, it scared me to death! Our relationship wasn't public yet!"
"Hehe, it sounds like you two are in a romantic relationship. Our relationship isn't public yet; it's quite official!" Huang Zihe teased.
"Does it feel that way?" Autumn Wind murmured. Hearing Huang Zihe say this made Autumn Wind vaguely feel that her relationship with Qiu Ruolan resembled that of lovers—one day you're mad at me, the next day I'm mad at you.
Noticing this amusing dynamic, a smile appeared on Autumn Wind's previously serious face.
"Oh dear, how embarrassing! You could have just ordered in the room!" Hai's cheerful voice came from the doorway before he opened the door and walked in.
"I just called you; didn't you hear me?" Autumn Wind replied to Hai.
"Sister Qiufeng is so annoying!" Hai said with a hint of playful annoyance, lightly hitting Huang Zihe on the arm.
Hai's words sent chills down Autumn Wind's spine. She shivered slightly and then looked curiously at Huang Zihe, her eyes asking: Could Hai be that one?
Huang Zihe furrowed his brows in exasperation and nodded towards Autumn Wind.
Ah, really? How did I not notice before? Autumn Wind thought to herself.
"What are you talking about? I heard from the prince that last time you and Ahe were photographed by reporters! What happened?" Hai finally finished her task and sincerely asked Autumn Wind.
"Prince?" Autumn Wind replied.
"He’s another member of our group!" Huang Zihe explained.
"Sister Qiufeng, you don’t care about us at all! How can you not know the members of y()!"
Again with that playful tone, Autumn Wind looked at Hai in slight shock and apologetically nodded, "Sorry, I've been a bit busy lately..."
"How annoying..."
Hai's tone made the goosebumps on Autumn Wind rise again.
"Hehehe..." Autumn Wind responded to Hai's words with a silly smile. Wasn't Hai once a vibrant and sunny young person? How did she end up like this now?
Liu Jian and Qiu Hai strode into the Western restaurant, the dazzling lights shining into Liu Jian's eyes, while the melodious violin music sounded quite jarring.
Images of Qiu Mowen involuntarily flashed before him, filling his chest with guilt and bitterness as his brows knitted tightly together.
"Is there a quieter room?" Qiu Hai asked the waiter.
"Yes, Mr. Qiu, this way please!" The waiter bent down, extended his hand, and gestured for Qiu Hai to walk upstairs.
The waiter arranged a room at the end of the corridor, opposite the Autumn Wind private room. "Mr. Qiu, Mr. Liu, if you need anything, feel free to let me know!"
Liu Jian's heart felt heavy as if weighed down by a piece of lead. He waved his hand, signaling the waiter to leave.
The waiter nodded slightly, gently closed the door, and exited the private room.
"Wait a moment!" Qiu Hai called out as he chased after him.
"Mr. Qiu, is there something you need?"
Qiu Hai smiled lightly, pulled out his wallet from his pocket, and handed two thousand-dollar bills to the waiter.
The waiter was a clever person and lowered his voice, saying, "Mr. Qiu, please instruct me!"
Qiu Hai raised an eyebrow, lowered his voice further, and asked, "Is Sister Qiu from Autumn Wind also in your restaurant?"
