  Cen Xi snuggled into the blanket and answered softly, “No. I’m just scared that I’m stopping you from working.”


  Qiao Yanze hugged Cen Xi from behind, his large hands caressing her waist as he said hoarsely, “You’re not that attractive yet.”


  Cen Xi really wanted to push the hand at her chest away. However, she didn’t want to fight because of such a thing. She knew very well that they wouldn’t be able to have such peaceful times together if she really found her older sister.

  Under his strong hands and steady breathing, she was slowly overwhelmed by sleepiness.

  Perhaps it was because there was something on her mind, she woke up again after two hours.

  The skies were starting to light up. Cen Xi pulled the hand at her waist away and got out of the bed softly. After washing up, she went to the study table and continued to translate the document.

  When Qiao Yanze woke up, Cen Xi was already done translating the document and was currently answering a call at the balcony.

  The little girl’s father had called to ask if she was alright staying in the farm house. Cen Xi chatted with him for a while before she hung up and saw the man leaning against the door right after she turned around.

  His pretty eyes were staring straight at her. They were terribly dark and she couldn’t read them at all.

  He was wearing a sleeping gown, which was tied loosely around his waist and exposed a small piece of his chest. Vaguely, she could see the ambiguous marks she had made on him.

  He looked sexy and wild.

  “I’ve finished translating the document. Do you want to take a look?” Cen Xi automatically ignored his dark expression.

  Qiao Yanze pursed his lips slightly. “Who were you talking to on the phone?” His dark and penetrating eyes made her want her to hide away.

  “Young Master Qiao, do I have to report to you about who I talk to?” Cen Xi walked towards him with humor in her eyes. “You’re not my boyfriend.”


  When Cen Xi was closer, Qiao Yanze grabbed Cen Xi’s chin. “Do you want to be my girlfriend?”


  If she had not seen her older sister’s photo, she would have nodded and said yes. But now……

  “Young Master Qiao, did you fall for me?” Cen Xi lifted a hand to caress his handsome face, the smile on her lips widening. “Did you forget that we can never be together?”


  Qiao Yanze grabbed Cen Xi’s slender fingers with so much force it felt like he was going to break her fingers into pieces. “What if I said that we can?”


  Cen Xi’s heart skipped a beat.

  Did she hear wrongly?

  Was he able to forget the pain her older sister gave her, forget his hatred and accept her? The her who was the younger sister of his enemy?

  She could tell that he liked her.

  But she always thought that this ‘like’ would never be deep enough.

  “Young Master Qiao, yー”


  Qiao Yanze interrupted Cen Xi’s unfinished words slightly awkwardly, “I’m about to leave. We should have a proper chat after we return to the Capital.”


  He didn’t know why he had said those things to her. For her, was he really able to forget that hatred and pain?

  They both needed some time to think about it.

  If they got together hurriedly before thinking it through, cracks and problems would still appear in their relationship eventually.

  After Qiao Yanze left, Cen Xi sat on the bed, dazing out until her phone rang……

  Seeing that it was an unknown number, Cen Xi’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately answered it.

  “Is this Miss Cen? I’m the auntie that you stayed with yesterday.”


  “Hello, Auntie.”


  “Weren’t you looking for your older sister yesterday? When I went to the market this morning, I heard someone say that a woman staying on the East mountain has a similar build to who you’re looking for. Butー”


  Cen Xi’s hold on her phone tightened as cold sweat started to cover her palms. “But?”


  “You should come over before we talk more about it!”


  “Alright.”


  Cen Xi hurriedly packed her things, checked out of the room and found a taxi to rush towards Lake Lin in a hurry.

  Once she arrived at the farm house, the female owner brought Cen Xi to meet a young boy about the age of nine.

  “Miss Cen, this boy stays at the foot of the East mountain. He came to sell vegetables in the market this morning and I heard the information from him.”


  Cen Xi wasn’t disappointed because the other was just a young boy. She bent down slightly to meet the boy’s eyes as she took out the photo from her bag and spoke softly, “Boy, have you seen this older sister?”


  The boy stared at Cen Xi’s photo and thought for a while. “She looks a little similar, but not really at the same time.”


  Only the side profile of the person in the photo could be seen. The boy scratched his head. “The older sister in this photo looks very pretty. But the older sister I know doesn’t seem to be so pretty.”


  Regardless of whether they were the same person, Cen Xi wanted to go and take a look personally.

  “Little Brother, can you bring me to see her?”


  The boy nodded. “Sure.”


  Cen Xi bought some food with the boy before they took a taxi to the foot of the East mountain. It was only a twenty minute car ride to East mountain from Lake Lin. Cen Xi got the taxi to wait for her while she followed the boy up into the mountains.

  “Little Brother, how did you find someone staying in the mountain?”


  “I found her when I went up to pick fruits together with Hu Zi and the rest.”


  Cen Xi nodded.

  After about a ten minute walk, the boy led Cen Xi towards a cave. He pointed. “The older sister is inside here.”


  The weeds around the cave have been removed cleanly. There were even some banana leaves covering the entrance. A simple stove with an old wok on it was there as well.

  Cen Xi didn’t know why, but she felt overwhelmed seeing this. She stood in front of the cave, asking softly, “Is anyone here?”


  No one answered.

  Cen Xi bent down and walked into the cave.

  The boy called out to Cen Xi. “Sister, don’t go in. That older sister is very fierce and knows how to fight. She will hit anyone that trespasses into her territory.”


  Cen Xi’s heart tightened.

  She knew how to fight?

  Her older sister had been trained by the organization since she was young, so she definitely had some fighting skills.

  “Don’t worry, Little Brother. I’ll be out after taking a look inside.”


  After Cen Xi went in, she realized that the cave was empty.

  There was an old wooden bed in the cave, with a set of clean clothes placed on the bed. Cen Xi walked over to take a look and noticed that the clothes were what her older sister had worn in the photo.

  Her eyes instantly turned red.

  “Sister, come out! That older sister is back!”


  Cen Xi immediately left the cave and glanced towards where the boy was pointing at. All she saw was a slender woman walking over with her hair down in a mess.

  “Sister, let’s go quick!”


  Cen Xi gave the little boy some money. “Little Brother, you can go back first. She might be the person I’m looking for. Don’t worry, I’ll be alright.”


  The boy didn’t dare to stay here for too long. After nodding, the boy hurriedly scampered back down.

  Cen Xi stood in front of the cave. Seeing the figure approaching her slowly, her fingers twisted together in nervousness.

  When that figure walked over and saw someone standing in her territory, her eyes under her hair filled with rage. “Go away! Don’t stay here!”
