250: I Am The One

I Am The One

Jin Yang raised his eyebrows in surprise. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the children sitting in the row behind him. He cleared his throat and pretended to be serious. "It might be better if you tell me these things when we're alone." He gently pinched Qiu Tong's knuckles, hinting at her.2

Qiu Tong realized that he might have misunderstood her and hurriedly pulled her hand back. "Be serious and concentrate on driving."

Jin Yang shrugged, his lips still curled into a smile.

There were guards stationed at the mountainside. When they saw Jin Yang's car plate, they all saluted and let him pass.

Qiu Xingyu and Qiu Xingqiao leaned against the car window curiously. Everything looked fresh and interesting to them.

A lone building stood in the deep forest, surrounded by layers of security. Shao An instructed the butler and guards to move the luggage.

Jin Yang brought the children around to familiarize themselves with the environment and let them choose their preferred rooms.

In the living room, Qiu Tong lowered her eyes and thought about what Ye Luan had said about Qiu Rong. She felt that there was more to the story.

Qiu Xingyuan mentioned before that Qiu Rong was a refined and educated person and was skilled in all kinds of pharmaceutical research. He was his first teacher.

Qiu Rong's case file in prison was very vague, which was especially suspicious.

Qiu Tong pondered over Qiu Rong's remaining prison sentence. She had originally wanted to pay money to reduce his sentence, but now she changed her mind. She wanted to investigate the truth behind Qiu Rong's arrest. As long as she could get hold of evidence that Qiu Rong was innocent, he would be released soon.

Qiu Tong didn't want her father to bear a crime he did not commit!

Qiu Xingqiao liked guns. He pestered the guards and kept asking them about all kinds of guns.

Qiu Xingyuan and Little Yu obediently returned to their room to pack their luggage. Jin Yang saw Qiu Tong's solemn expression from afar. He quietly walked over to her and rested his hand on her shoulder. "What are you thinking about?"

Reacting by instinct, Qiu Tong gripped his wrist tightly and struck his throat.

Jin Yang raised his hand to block her attack. When Qiu Tong saw that it was Jin Yang, she relaxed. "Sorry."

"Moving to an unfamiliar environment at the last minute would make anyone tense. Let's go, I'll bring you to our room."

Jin Yang sensed that something was wrong with Qiu Tong, but he didn't probe further.

The two of them walked to the bedroom. The well-lit room had French windows, and beyond the bright and clean glass was a verdant forest. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, this beautiful scene was set before Qiu Tong's eyes like an oil painting.

Jin Yang hugged her waist from behind and rested his chin on her neck.

He said in a low and hoarse voice, "I never expected to have such a blissful life. With my loved one and the children, life is no longer cold and lonely. It's lively. Even though it's a little noisy, I still feel very stable and secure."

"It's absolutely safe here. Don't worry, no one will hurt you."

Jin Yang raised Qiu Tong's chin and leaned over to kiss her. He traced the shape of her lips with the tip of his tongue and gently cupped her cheeks, as if he was treating her like a precious treasure. Qiu Tong turned to hug his slender waist, raising her head slightly to match Jin Yang's actions.

Her breathing gradually became hurried and chaotic…

Jin Yang's hand moved along the hem of Qiu Tong's clothes. His fingers deftly hooked the shoulder straps of her bra and pushed it down gently. His palm covered her smooth and soft breast as he kneaded it, pinching her lightly with his fingertips. Qiu Tong gasped and her body went limp.

Outside the door, Ye Luan knocked on the door, interrupting them. "Auntie Qiu, it's time to eat."

Qiu Tong tidied her messy hair and pushed Jin Yang away before running down.

…

The next day, Qiu Tong changed into a set of clean clothes and used a plaster to cover the hickey on her neck.

Jin Yang was buttoning his shirt. Seeing that she was about to go out, he asked, "Where are you going? Do you need my guards to escort you?"

Qiu Tong shook her head. She was still hiding the truth about Qiu Rong from Jin Yang and so replied perfunctorily, "I want to take a look at my old residence."

Jin Yang thought that the packing up of her things yesterday must have triggered the sealed memories in Qiu Tong's mind, so he didn't probe further.

Qiu Tong drove to her old residence. The wooden door was covered in spiderwebs. She went to the place where she used to live, and rummaged around the drawers and cupboards to search for evidence that could help Qiu Rong. However, after an entire morning of work, she found nothing but a few bills.

"Did he not hide his things here?"

Qiu Tong tried to recall the memories related to Qiu Rong, but realized that they were blank.

She sat in the rattan chair in frustration as the sun outside shone on the sofa.

Through the rays of light, Qiu Tong realized that there seemed to be something stuffed into a gap. She hurriedly stood up and pulled out a photo with some difficulty.

Qiu Tong's heart surged when she finally flipped the photo over. Her hands trembled uncontrollably.

The yellowing photo showed her in a wedding dress, and the man beside her was Jin Yang!

Qiu Tong looked at the red mole on the man's body carefully and confirmed that she was not mistaken. But she had no memories of this at all.

Qiu Tong's palms were sweating. So she was the woman who had once been engaged to Jin Yang!?
