River City Café
Fang Qing couldn’t find Shui Miao, so she started calling him.
The phone had barely rung twice when Shui Miao suddenly appeared.
“Sorry, I just stepped out for a bit of fresh air.”
Shui Miao invited Fang Qing to sit down, ordered two coffees casually, and then began to study her. Clearly dressed up, under the soft lighting, she appeared especially graceful and charming.
Fang Qing felt a tingle inside from Shui Miao’s bold gaze, becoming restless and uneasy.
“Aren’t you done looking yet?”
Fang Qing’s tone was gentle, a stark contrast to her earlier furious yelling at Chen Rong—like the difference between a devil and an angel.
This woman was completely hooked; there was no need to keep seducing her anymore. Shui Miao slightly raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, “For men, beauty is never something we can get enough of. Miss Fang, have you already decided to go with me to Hai City?”
“I…I still need to think about it…”
Fang Qing was great at teasing others, intentionally playing coy.
Shui Miao nodded, then sighed softly, “Looks like my charm still isn’t enough. Well then, Miss Fang, you can keep thinking about it. I don’t like forcing anyone. Oh, I just remembered—I left something very important in my hotel room. I need to go get it and give it to you.”
“Really? Is that so?”
Fang Qing gently bit her lip, pretending to be modest. “How could I possibly accept your gift so easily? That would be so awkward.”
“Hehe, just a small gift, nothing much!”
Shui Miao’s goosebumps hit the floor as he quickly stood up and left the café in a hurry.
Fang Qing, unaware that Shui Miao was playing her, sat there foolishly waiting and dreaming.
She had no idea that Shui Miao hadn’t gone to the hotel at all, but had gone straight to Wang Yong’s house.
Fang Qing waited and waited, but Shui Miao never came.
After nearly an hour, Fang Qing dialed Shui Miao’s phone number.
The person who answered was none other than Wang Yong, who spoke in a very tense voice: “No, no, no! I didn’t hit him! You must be a relative of his, right? Hurry over here and take a look—he’s been hit by a car!”
“What!?”
Upon hearing this, Fang Qing shot up like a rocket. “Where are you?”
“W-well, at the Wen You’ai Hotel on Daguan Road. Please hurry here—I’m just a passerby!” In reality, Wang Yong was walking with Shui Miao.
“Okay! I’m on my way right now!”
Fang Qing slammed down a hundred yuan note, hung up the phone, and ran out.
On the way,
Wang Yong handed the phone to Shui Miao, his face full of confusion. “Hey, Shui Miao, what exactly are you doing?”
“Hehe, it’s hard to explain right now. You can keep the phone for a while. Remember, you’re just a passerby who doesn’t know me. If she accuses you of hitting me, just run away. I’ll explain more later.” After arriving at the location, Shui Miao lay down by the roadside. Under the transformation of his water-element spiritual power, many bloodstains appeared on his body.
“Oh no, Shui Miao, this… this blood isn’t real, is it?”
Seeing the blood pooling more and more on the ground, Wang Yong couldn’t help but panic.
Noticing Wang Yong’s expression, Shui Miao quickly pointed at him and said, “Exactly! That’s the expression—look more nervous, like you’re really scared!”
“…”
Wang Yong was still trying to figure out his expression when he suddenly heard a “wuuu—” sound, and a white car came roaring toward them…
Fang Qing got out of the car and saw Shui Miao lying on the ground, covered in blood and unconscious. She immediately burst into tears, grabbing Wang Yong’s hand and anxiously asking, “How could this happen? How could this happen? Just a moment ago he was fine—how did it turn out like this so quickly?”
“It’s not me! I was just passing by! Just passing by!”
Wang Yong struggled free from Fang Qing’s grip and ran off in a flash.
Fang Qing thought Shui Miao must be dead. Looking at him soaked in blood, she murmured to herself, “Why? Why did this happen? Why is my fate so cruel? Why do the men I fall for always have such short lives?”
“…”
Lying on the ground, Shui Miao was deeply surprised.
Originally, Shui Miao had thought that upon seeing him dead, this scheming Fang Qing would simply walk away and mind her own business.
But he never expected—she was actually shedding tears for him?
Wait a second!
A sudden realization hit Shui Miao’s mind. He thought to himself, “No, no, no! She’s not crying for me—she’s crying for her own fate. She must be someone who would do anything for the person she loves. She even knocked out Duan Hongmei just to get close to Chen Rong. Now, for me, would she go to any lengths to save me?”
Shui Miao’s intention in doing this was to see what kind of person Fang Qing really was, and then decide how to punish her accordingly.
To test Fang Qing further, Shui Miao slightly moved his body and weakly murmured, “Help me… help me!”
“Ahh!”
Seeing that Shui Miao was still alive, Fang Qing screamed in shock and immediately took out her phone to dial 112.
After calling 112, she quickly called her family, asking her mother to prepare 500,000 yuan in cash.
“…”
Lying on the ground, Shui Miao felt somewhat depressed.
He couldn’t help but ask himself, “Why? Why is every woman so good to me?”
He had come here intending to punish Fang Qing, but instead, he felt uneasy about it.
Well, maybe he should just find a way to make Fang Qing pay some money to Chen Rong and call it quits—it wasn’t easy for her either!
Seeing how good others were to him, Shui Miao softened his heart.
Before the ambulance arrived, Fang Qing’s mother arrived first.
It turned out that Fang Qing’s mother lived in a nearby neighborhood, and their home safe contained hundreds of thousands in cash.
Fang Qing’s parents rushed over with a backpack.
Seeing Shui Miao covered in blood on the ground, Fang Qing’s mother screamed, “Daughter, daughter! How could you hit someone like this?”
“No, no! It wasn’t me!”
Fang Qing quickly pulled her parents aside and briefly explained the situation.
After hearing it, Fang Qing’s father immediately shouted angrily, “Are you stupid? Who would take responsibility for something like this? There’s no shortage of men in this world, right? Have you lost your mind? Even like this, you still want to be his mistress?”
“Hmph! Look at you talking—mistress this, mistress that! How ugly!” Fang Qing’s mother pushed her husband aside and grabbed Fang Qing’s hand, saying, “Honey, Mom knows you never liked Chen Rong, but you can’t be this foolish! Even if he survives, he might be disabled. What are you hoping to gain by staying with him?”
“…”
Fang Qing blinked her eyes, as if suddenly waking up.
Influenced by her parents, Fang Qing wiped away her tears, hurriedly got into the car, and the three of them drove off.
“What kind of parents are these!?”
Shui Miao stood up, shaking his head in frustration. Just as he was about to leave, he saw the BMW speeding back like a flash of fire!
Startled, Shui Miao quickly lay back down…
Fang Qing got out of the car, excitedly crouched beside Shui Miao, crying while shaking her hands apologetically, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I was wrong! I shouldn’t have left you! I don’t want anything from you—I just want to be with you! Even just talking with you would make me feel completely fulfilled…”
Fang Qing had truly fallen in love with Shui Miao—deeply, completely, as if the love had seeped into her very bones and marrow!
“I can’t possibly have that much charm, right? Could it be another ‘peach blossom disaster’ again?!”
Shui Miao’s head suddenly went “buzz”—he almost wanted to go bang his head somewhere.
At the same time, he silently vowed to himself: if this romantic entanglement could be resolved easily this time, he would never again involve himself in the game of love in this lifetime. Who could possibly endure such pain once more this time around?!
