Four days, four whole days.
Su Qi lay on the bed. She did not cry or make a fuss, nor did she speak. No one knew what she was thinking. They could only see the sorrow on her face. It was so thick that she looked like a broken doll.
Ever since Mo Hen took the opportunity when Xiao Chengzhe went out to call for someone, he had brought her back to the manor. Xiao Chengzhe had been asking about Ye Qi's situation for the past few days, but there was no news from the General's manor until yesterday. Su Qi did not want to see him. At this moment, her heart was in a mess.
After witnessing Xiao Chengzhe's actions towards the original Ye Suqi, Suqi no longer had a good impression of him. How could he be so cold-blooded as he watched Ye Suqi sink to the bottom of the lake? How could this be?! Su Qi's heart ached when she thought of that scene.
However, what she did not know was that Xiao Chengzhe was in a panic because of her sudden disappearance.
Xiao Chengzhe immediately went to look for her after she fainted. When he returned, the bed was already empty. His first reaction was that Ye Qi might have returned to General Ye's residence. For the next few days, Xiao Chengzhe sent people to General Ye's residence to inquire about news and send letters, but there was no reply. Ye Qi did not appear for a few days. Xiao Chengzhe even suspected that he had been taken away by his enemies.
This kind of life made him very angry. He couldn't even maintain his usual fox smile. His face was always dark, making the Mei beside him feel as if the end of the world was coming. It was even more difficult for others to get within three meters of him. Only then did some people realize that it was not only the high temperature that would burn people like fire. This fire was even more terrifying at low temperatures.
At the same time, the Xili Abyss secretly received a letter. After that, he summoned Xiao Chengzhe to the royal study for a full day. The next day, he sent Xiao Chengzhe to Jiangnan. It was said that he was going to inspect the place on behalf of the Emperor.
Xiao Chengzhe also knew that this incident was not simple, so he left Chi behind to continue investigating Ye Qi's whereabouts while he went to Jiangnan with his charm. That was why Xiao Chengzhe stopped investigating on the third day after Ye Suqi woke up.
Cyanosis looked at her Miss 'sickly appearance and felt her heart ache. However, she could not do anything about it. She had already said it out loud, but Miss did not have any reaction. She was so anxious that she kept spinning. Suddenly, she thought of the bet that Miss had made with Miss Wei three months ago. It seemed that tomorrow was the day that the " beauty contest " would begin. Perhaps Miss would be interested in this.
"Miss, tomorrow is the beauty contest. Should we go out and take a look?”
Su Qi didn't even look at her. Her eyes were unfocused as she said," I don't want to go."”
The cyanotic man was a little anxious when he heard this. He quickly said,"Miss, you forgot that you still have a bet with Miss Wei. If you don't go, won't you admit defeat?"”
Su Qi lowered her head and revealed a bitter smile. It wasn't that she didn't know that the cyanosis was just to make her happy, but there were so many things in her mind that she couldn't be happy. Su Qi looked at her pale and bruised face, smiled, and said,""What are you afraid of? The competition has three days, and the main characters are always the last to appear. Let them be happy for the next two days.”
Cyanose had no choice when he heard his Miss say this, but at least his Miss was willing to go out.
At this moment, Ye Chen walked in. Su Qi had been in a bad mood for the past few days, so Ye Chen would come over to accompany her whenever he had time. Sometimes, he would talk to her, and sometimes, he would sit with her. Seeing her like this, Ye Chen could not do anything but sigh and shake his head.
"Little Seven, are you feeling better today?"
Su Qi looked at Ye Chen and smiled. Her face was still a little pale, but it was much better than before."Father, I'm fine."
Ye Chen gently patted Su Qi's head and said,"" Little Seven, I don't know if it's good that you've become like this. In the past, you were too innocent and silly. I was always afraid that you would be bullied. Ever since you fell into the water last time, you've changed a lot and learned to protect yourself. I was originally very happy, but you seem to be getting more and more unhappy..."
Suqi looked at Ye Chen's haggard face and his concern. She suddenly felt like a thief, as if she had stolen the love that belonged to Ye Suqi.
"Dad, if I wasn't the original Little Seven, would you still care about me?”
Ye Chen was stunned. Then, he smiled and said," Silly child. No matter what you become, you are still my good child. You are my only daughter. If I don't care about you, who else can I care about?"”
Su Qi felt that she was very silly. She could not tell her father the truth. What was the point of saying all this? At most, it would make her feel better. But no matter what, she would protect her father and protect everything that she had now. As for love and men, were they that important?
When she thought of this, Su Qi's heart slowly calmed down. After all, everything in the past did not belong to her. Right now, she only needed to do well.
Ye Chen looked at his daughter's slowly melting brows and knew that her worries had been cleared up. His face was instantly filled with joy. What was more important than making Little Seven happy?
"Father, I'm fine. You can go and do your work. You must have left behind a lot of things for me to take care of these few days.”Su Qi finally regained her smile, which made Ye Chen feel more at ease.
"Well, it's good that you're fine. Isn't there a beauty pageant these few days? The chrysanthemums that you asked Mo Li to bring from Jiangnan should have arrived by now.”
Su Qi held Ye Chen's arm and smiled mysteriously.""Father, don't you want to see what good stuff it is?”
Ye Chen patted Su Qi's head lovingly and said,""Father has no interest in these flowers and plants. If you like them, ask Mo Li and the others to bring more back and put them in the courtyard to enjoy.”
"Father, you're the best."
Su Qi's coquettishness made Ye Chen's mood exceptionally good. Inadvertently, his laughter spread out of the room, making the atmosphere in the General's Estate become relaxed. After a while, Ye Chen went off to do his own things. Su Qi felt bored and wanted to see the flowers that Mo Li brought back.
Since Su Qi was still unconscious when Mo Li came back, she had been unable to get her spirits up after she woke up. Up until now, Su Qi had not seen the famous chrysanthemums of this era. She only heard from Cyanosis that she seemed to have found many beautiful and rare chrysanthemums. She just did not know if there were any that she wanted.
Cyanose heard his young miss 'words and knew that she was finally willing to leave the room. He was extremely happy and immediately asked the servants to move those flower pots to the courtyard so that the young miss could bask in the sun and admire the flowers.
Su Qi came to the courtyard with Cyanosis's help. Actually, Su Qi knew that her body was fine, but Cyanosis was worried that she would catch a cold and that she would get hurt. This made Su Qi feel both vexed and touched.
However, Su Qi was overjoyed when she saw the flowers. She was also surprised that there were so many precious chrysanthemums here. She thought that it would be good if she could find one or two. She did not expect Mo Li to find so many. It seemed that Mo Li had spent a lot of effort. No wonder it took so long.
Su Qi's mood became exceptionally good. She was just waiting to see Wei Qianxue make a fool of herself in two days.
In fact, when the beauty pageant began, Wei Qianxue had sent people to find out about Ye Suqi's actions. However, the news she received said that Miss Ye had not left the house for the past few days, let alone gone to the competition venue. At first, Wei Qianxue could not figure out what Ye Suqi wanted to do and was a little worried. However, two days had passed since the 'beauty pageant', and Ye Suqi still did not appear. Wei Qianxue began to think that she probably could not take out the green and red dress and was hiding in the General's Estate, not daring to come out.
At this moment, some young ladies who could not stand Ye Suqi started to gossip. They said that Suqi was lying and that she was too ashamed to show her face because she could not take out her green and red clothes. Xia Yin and the other two spoke up for Su Qi and almost quarreled a few times. However, since Su Qi did not appear, they could do nothing but worry in their hearts.
On the third day, Xia Yin and the other two were sitting in a private room in Mingyue Restaurant, facing the competition stage. They were waiting anxiously, hoping that Su Qi would appear.
"Little Yin, stop spinning. You're making me dizzy.”Yu Dai looked at Xia Yin, who was pacing around anxiously, and said helplessly.
Xia Yin stomped her feet and sat down angrily.""Big sister Yu, I was just anxious. Why isn't big sister Ye here yet? It's already seven in the morning, and in another two hours, the beauty contest will start. If big sister Ye doesn't make it in time, she won't be qualified to participate in the final selection.”
Yan Jin didn't say anything and just looked out the window. His eyes were filled with deep worry. He wasn't afraid of winning or losing, but if Su Qi lost, then Wei Qianxue would definitely not let go of this opportunity. Regardless of whether she forced Su Qi to dance in public or pretended to be generous and let Su Qi off, Su Qi's reputation would definitely be completely ruined.
"Sister Yan, say something.”Xia Yin looked at Yan Jin drinking his tea unhurriedly and was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
"He's here." Yan Jin suddenly said.
The other two immediately looked out the window.
Su Qi did not want to come so early. There was still two hours left. However, the cyanosis was so anxious that Xia Yin sent people to rush her many times. She had no choice but to rush over.
At the same time, Wei Qianxue was sneering in the room next to Yan Jin and the others. When she saw Su Qi's carriage, she was slightly startled and thought," Could it be that there was really a green and red dress?
The carriage stopped by the roadside. Due to the large number of people, the carriage could not get close to the competition stage. Su Qi could only get off the carriage.
"Miss, why aren't you wearing a veil? It's not good.”Cyanosis hurriedly helped Su Qi put on the veil, and Su Qi felt a headache coming on.
"Mo Li, get someone to register these flowers first. I'll go to Mingyue Restaurant first.”After saying that, Su Qi walked towards the Bright Moon Restaurant with her purple clothes. Fortunately, Mo Hen was leading the way. Otherwise, how could these two thin and weak women enter the crowded Bright Moon Restaurant?
Xia Yin saw that Su Qi had already jumped up in joy. She quickly went forward and held Su Qi's hand. She said happily,""Sister Ye, why are you only here now? I thought you weren't coming.”
Su Qi scratched Xia Yin's little nose and said with a smile,""How can I not come on such a lively day?”As he spoke, he even smiled at Yan Jin and Yu Dai.
