"Let's pause filming," Zhou Muzi suggested, her voice trembling with relief, as they stood in the hotel room. "It's just too unsafe here. If we stay close to my brother-in-law and follow him, you won't have to worry about anything." In truth, Zhou Xiaoniu had been anxious for a long time—until Qin Dashi returned with none of the original field damage, and Qingzi unharmed. If anything had happened to Qingzi, she simply didn't know how she'd face Qin Feng. Had she not been so eager to fight, she wouldn't have fallen into the ruse of drawing him away, and Qingzi wouldn't have ended up being kidnapped. "What do you think, Qingzi?" Qin asked her. After a moment's thought, Qingzi replied, "I believe we're safe now. They must understand that kidnapping isn't a good option—wouldn't they have fallen at the same spot twice?" "Zhou Xiaoniu immediately said, "Not necessarily! They can use the 'diverting the tigers to distract' strategy twice—why not come up with two separate kidnappings as well, Qingzi sister? I know you don't want to pause filming, but our safety is what matters most. Once we encounter any issue, we'll definitely slow down our husband's progress!" Xiaoniu has grown more mature and now thinks of Qin Feng's well-being. Qingzi smiled, "I don't think we need to stop. With Shasha's protection, do you really think they'd dare to come again and risk their lives?" Isabella clenched her fists and said, "Exactly! Unless they send over more masters from the 'Eclipse Period,' they won't be able to harm even a single one of you." Qin, the younger brother, looked at Zhou Muzhi with thoughtful intent. She sighed and replied, "Alright, since you both feel secure, I don't have much to say. Thank you, Shasha, for your efforts. We'll start filming on location in a couple of days, and then we'll have to keep moving around with the production team!" "Between us, what "The beautiful officer smiled. Qin Feng removed a bottle of fine red wine and several crystal glasses from his sash—this was to reassure Qingzi, who had remained remarkably composed throughout the day. As a hostage, she had only spoken one sentence to Qin, the young lord. Her calm demeanor had directly influenced Qin's rescue plan. The deep red wine was poured into the glasses, and Isabella took the first cup, raised it, and drank it down immediately. "Ladies and gentlemen," she declared, "I'm going out to inspect the situation—there must be some survivors still hiding!" With those words, she was already out of the room. Qin, slightly puzzled, remarked, "Those people have already scattered like birds and beasts. How could there still be any survivors? Isabella must be under tremendous stress!" Su Wu and Zhou Muzi exchanged a glance, silently signaling each other, and then said together, "I'm so tired—I'd like to rest early. By the way, husband, shall we not return tonight? Then I'll go to bed now!" The business suite has several bedrooms—she could sleep here without any issues at all. Zhou Xiaoniu was initially a bit confused, but as Su Wu got up, she suddenly understood: this was a chance being created for her brother-in-law’s husband and Qingzi’s sister. Though Qingzi had safely returned, her journey had been nothing short of thrilling. No matter how composed she appeared now, she still needed some soothing. The task of comforting her, naturally, was left to Qin Dashi. Following her sister Sha Sha’s example, she raised her glass and took a long, steady sip—only to find that she had underestimated her own tolerance for red wine, and ended up choking on it. "Ah, ah…" "Are you alright, Si Si?" Qin Dashi asked, gently offering her a tissue. The younger girl took the wine and wiped it haphazardly across her lips, a bit embarrassed. "I'm fine, actually—the wine is quite strong. By the way, Qingzi, I'm not very familiar with tomorrow's performance. I'll have to go over the script several times before I go to bed, otherwise I'm certain I'll mess it up. I'll just head off now!" With that, she stood up and left, but her departure wasn't as graceful as Isabel's or Su Wu's. She seemed to be fleeing rather than stepping confidently. Qin Shao's brow furrowed slightly. He thought—how do these three seem so well-coordinated? They all just up and leave, leaving so much wine behind. Didn't they always enjoy red wine? Qingzi's cheeks slowly flushed. As a sensitive woman, she had already sensed the pattern in the successive departures of her three close friends. "Let's continue," Qin Shao said, raising his glass and clinking it gently against Qingzi's. The atmosphere grew somewhat intimate. He normally held Qingze's waist, saying, "I'm sorry for today's inconvenience. This situation could have been avoided, but it still happened—my arrangements clearly fell short!" "No, don't worry about it," Qingze leaned her cheek against his chest, bravely adding, "Feng, I'd like to become like my sisters. Would that be alright?" "Of course..." Qin Shao said at once, only then realizing the key point in her words. He paused, then stared at her in wide-eyed surprise. Under his intense gaze, Qingze's face turned even redder. Recalling their first meeting in the Sun Kingdom, Qin Shao felt a touch of embarrassment. Back then, he had mistaken a pure and elegant beauty for a mere cocktail hostess—someone from the world of nightlife. Of course, had it not been for that misunderstanding, they might never have come this far. The matters concerning the Sun Country have now been settled, and for some time now, Harada Ichiro's restaurant has completed its renovation and officially opened. Known for its refined ingredients, it's reportedly doing exceptionally well. Clearo's acting career is also reaching new heights, and it's only a matter of time before she becomes a true star. Qin, the young magnate, quietly chides himself—having had this delicate, charming young beauty in front of him for so long, he never managed to seize the opportunity to truly enjoy her. It's only now that she's kindly offered to dine with him. What a failure of his character! Well, since he's now aware of his lapse, he must act promptly. As the saying goes, "it's never too late to mend a fence after the sheep have been lost." With a cheerful smile, he lifts Clearo up horizontally and says, "Clearo, you'll surely have your wish fulfilled soon. But before that, I'd like to ask you something—do you truly like me as a person, or are you simply staying with me because you wish to become like the others?" Qingzi raised her head, though her face was still flushed with the shy grace of a young girl, and said seriously, "Of course, I care about you even more." Hearing the answer she'd been hoping for, Qin Shao nearly leapt three feet high—after all, who could help but be occupied by a beautiful woman in their arms? So, it was time to get down to business. In Zhou Muzi's bedroom, the two women stood behind the door, which was left slightly ajar, with a subtle gap. They stared intently at the scene outside. Zhou, the little one, remarked, "Wu Wu, aren't they rushing a bit? In my opinion, they should at least have another two drinks to warm up the atmosphere!" Su Wu smiled and said, "That would be so inconvenient. Our husband is a man who values directness. Now, Qingzi has finally gotten her wish, and it's truly worth all the effort we've put into bringing them together."
