Chapter 253 Harassment on a Rainy Night
In Z City, the sky suddenly became overcast at night, followed by a torrential downpour.
The rain poured down, pattering against the window like a stirring symphony played by nature.
The floodwaters on the streets rose rapidly, and the streetlights appeared particularly hazy in the rain and fog.
Qiu Ziyue was already fast asleep in her cozy apartment.
Suddenly, a rapid telephone ring shattered the silence.
Ring ring… Qiu Ziyue groggily reached out and answered the phone, her voice still sleepy:
"Hey?"
"Twilight Sparkle, come to the dance studio tomorrow, and I'll ask a teacher to teach you other dances."
Qi Yuxuan's clear voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Huh? Why?"
Qiu Ziyue rubbed her eyes, trying to clear her head.
"We'll find out then."
Qi Yuxuan said mysteriously,
"Ok."
Qiu Ziyue responded and was about to hang up when she heard another sentence from Qi Yuxuan.
"Ziyue, don't hang up yet. Don't you really remember anything from before?"
Qiu Ziyue was stunned for a moment, her mind went blank.
"I can't remember."
She answered softly.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Qi Yuxuan quietly hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Ziyue felt a strange emotion welling up inside her.
She herself could never recall everything from the past, but she didn't want to recover. Sometimes, forgetting everything might be a kind of happiness.
She sighed softly and lay back down on the bed to sleep.
Meanwhile, Qi Yuxuan stood by the window, gazing at the heavy rain outside.
Holding the phone in his hand, his eyes were filled with complex emotions.
He missed Qiu Ziyue terribly, even though she was right beside him now.
But as a normal man, he also has certain needs and longs to be as close to her as before, and for the family to live happily together.
In Z City at night, the rain poured down, as if the sky and the earth were separated only by a thick curtain of water.
The floodwaters on the street were already ankle-deep, and the streetlights appeared particularly hazy in the rain and mist.
Qi Yuxuan sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, gazing intently at the rain scene outside the window.
"You heartless, ruthless woman, when will you finally wake up?"
He sighed inwardly.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by a cell phone ringing.
Qi Yuxuan picked up his phone, and a familiar number appeared on the screen—policewoman Wen Qingrou.
"Hello, Officer Wen."
Qi Yuxuan answered the phone, his voice calm and steady.
"Yuxuan, there's something I need to remind you of."
Wen Qingrou's voice carried a hint of seriousness.
"Recently, multiple reports have been filed in Z City regarding the disappearance of several teenage girls, drawing the attention of the police. Two of these girls have already been found murdered."
Qi Yuxuan's wine glass trembled slightly as he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Is it that serious?"
"Yes."
Wen Qingrou continued,
“I’m worried these cases might implicate more people. You need to be careful to protect Twilight Sparkle and keep her out of danger.”
Qi Yuxuan clenched his fists, a strong protective instinct surging within him.
"Don't worry, I will protect her well."
Wen Qingrou paused for a moment, seemingly hesitating whether to continue.
"Yu Xuan, what if... what if Qiu Ziyue can never remember anything from before?"
Qi Yuxuan was silent for a moment, then answered firmly:
"Then I will make her fall in love with me again."
A soft sigh came from the other end of the phone. Wen Qingrou didn't say anything more, only whispering:
"Take care," he said, and hung up the phone.
Qi Yuxuan looked at his phone, which had gone black, his eyes filled with determination and tenderness.
He knew that no matter how the future changed, he would stay by Qiu Ziyue's side and accompany her through every difficulty.
After putting down his phone, Qi Yuxuan stood up and walked to the window.
Raindrops hit the glass, splashing up tiny water droplets.
His thoughts drifted back to the past, to the wonderful times he had spent with Qiu Ziyue.
Although Qiu Ziyue has lost her memory, she is still the girl who makes his heart flutter.
"I will make you fall in love with me again."
Qi Yuxuan murmured to himself, a determined light shining in his eyes.
Qi Yuxuan immediately called Xiao Zhuang and asked him to contact a private security company to hire several capable bodyguards to guard around Qiu Ziyue's house and report the situation at any time.
Xiao Zhuang agreed.
Just as Qi Yuxuan was about to rest, he suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps.
Butler Uncle Wang came running in, panting, and said:
“Master, someone has come to visit. It’s that Hao Rose.”
Uncle Wang is the new housekeeper that Qi Yuxuan hired after moving to Z City. He looks about 80-90% similar to the housekeeper Lin from the ancient Qi family mansion.
Despite being a newcomer, his dedication is admirable.
"It's so late, is she crazy? I won't see her, I'll make her leave."
Qi Yuxuan frowned as he spoke, his tone tinged with impatience.
Uncle Wang said worriedly:
“Master, but Hao Meigui insists on seeing you. Besides, it’s raining so hard outside, she’s soaked to the bone, and it seems she’s been drinking.”
Qi Yuxuan frowned and said even more resolutely:
"She's been drinking, so we shouldn't see her at all. Let her go. She's a crazy woman; she doesn't care about her reputation at all."
"Alright, Master, I'll let her go right away."
Uncle Wang responded and turned to leave. However, Hao Meigui clearly did not intend to leave so easily.
She shoved Uncle Wang aside, barged into the living room, and shouted:
"Qi Yuxuan, come out here! Come out here!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan had no choice but to come downstairs.
Hao Meigui was wearing a red cheongsam, reeking of alcohol, and swaying from side to side.
"Qi Yuxuan, so many people are pursuing me, but I only like you. Tell me, what's wrong with me that you don't like me?"
As Hao Meigui spoke, she swayed and walked forward.
Qi Yuxuan took a deep breath and tried to remain calm:
"Don't you understand? My heart and my body belong to Qiu Ziyue, of course I won't like you."
Hao Meigui persisted, "You're lying to me. If you two are so close, why do you still live alone while she doesn't live with you? Aren't you husband and wife?"
Qi Yuxuan sighed and explained:
"Don't worry about that, you're drunk. Butler Wang, call driver Liu and have Hao Meigui stay at a guesthouse for the night."
“Yes, Master.” Butler Wang replied.
Butler Wang came over to pull Hao Meigui away, but she was already too drunk to move.
Qi Yuxuan shook his head helplessly and then called over Aunt Liu.
"Aunt Liu, help Hao Meigui into Xiao Liu's car, and then accompany Xiao Liu to a hotel to check in."
Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment, then said:
“Master, it’s so late, why don’t you let her sleep with me?”
Qi Yuxuan said firmly:
"We can't let her stay here, lest people gossip. Besides, there are several cases of teenage girls disappearing in Z City right now, it would be safer to send her to a guesthouse."
"Yes, sir."
Aunt Liu responded and, together with Butler Wang, helped Hao Meigui into Xiao Liu's car.
Watching Hao Meigui being taken away, Qi Yuxuan felt a mix of emotions.
He knew Hao Meigui's feelings for him, but his heart belonged only to Qiu Ziyue.
No matter how the future changes, he will stay by Qiu Ziyue's side and accompany her through every difficulty.
Back upstairs, Qi Yuxuan sat on the sofa, gazing at the rainy night outside the window, silently reciting to himself:
"Twilight Sparkle, no matter what, I will make you fall in love with me again."
The rain subsided the next morning, but the air was still damp.
Qiu Ziyue got up early, and after a quick wash, Xiao Zhuang came to pick her up and take her to the dance studio.
Throughout the journey, she kept thinking about the conversation from the previous night, feeling somewhat uneasy and doubtful.
When she arrived at the dance studio, Qi Yuxuan was already waiting for her.
He saw Qiu Ziyue walk in and forced a smile.
Good morning, Twilight Sparkle.
He said.
"Good morning, President Qi. What dance are we learning today?" Qiu Ziyue asked.
"Today we're learning Latin dance," Qi Yuxuan replied.
"what"!
Qiu Ziyue was very surprised!
