After the night of the cruise, Gong Yi went hard looking into what happened three years ago.
But someone seemed to be intercepting because he couldn’t find traces of anything.
Qiao Qing continued to work on her perfume. Perhaps it was because she never asked Xu Lu anything, Xu Lu stopped showing up in the lab.
Time flew and the day of the fragrance competition came.
In the morning, Jun Yexuan went to check on Qiao Qing, “Are you done with the perfume?”
Qiao Qing, “… Today’s the competition and you think I’m not done?”
Jun Yexuan rubbed his nose, “Qingqing is the best!”
Qiao Qing, “…”
She paused and then asked, “Do you want to sniff it?”
Jun Yexuan hesitated. He remembered her recipe and his lips pursed as if he was faced with an enemy.
After some time, he finally responded, “Okay, as your boyfriend, I have the duty to test out poison for you.”
Qiao Qing hit him in the stomach, “Go away! I don’t need your sacrifices!”
Jun Yexuan held onto his stomach, “Qingqing, that hurt.”
Qiao Qing, “Good!”
Jun Yexuan, “…”
It was over. His wife didn’t care about him.
On the side, the fox stopped licking itself and glared at him.
You dumb idiot who underestimates my owner! You will regret this and come back crawling!
Just then, Qi Yusen came down the stairs and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Qiao Qing was excited as she looked over to Qi Yusen, “Brother, today’s the fragrance competition.”
Qi Yusen asked, “Are you done mixing?”
Qiao Qing, “…”
It looked like winning didn’t matter anymore. Those two didn’t care about the competition anymore.
When Qi Yusen noticed her expression, he realized that his comment wasn’t too appropriate. So he patted her head.
“You don’t need to be nervous. No matter how well you do, Gong Yi agreed to find him for us.”
He then asked Gong Yi, who came over, “Isn’t that right?”
Qiao Qing, “…”
Gong Yi’s face was dark. The number one reason for that was because he got nowhere with his investigation. The number two reason for that was because today was the fragrance competition.
Which meant, he would have to fulfill his promise and that Qiao Qing would leave soon.
Gong Yi didn’t respond to Qi Yusen’s comment. Instead, he greedily stared at Qiao Qing’s face.
Jun Yexuan’s face went dark. He went and pulled Qiao Qing’s face into his chest to block Gong Yi’s view.
“As the leader of country Z’s most influential family, you are going to break your promise?!”
“Third young master Jun, no need to get aggressive,” Gong Yi said, “What’s yours is yours, nobody can take it away. What’s not yours will never be yours. You wouldn’t be able to keep it. Of course, I will abide by my words. I will help Qingqing look for her father!”
He then stood up and said to Qiao Qing, “We need to go to the office now.”
Mu Jinghang was confused, “Why? Isn’t she going to the competition?”
Gong Yi said, “She is. But there are others from the company who are going. They all represent the Gong Corporation so they should go together.”
“This year, the competition’s a little different. The first round is a team round.”
“In other words, only if the entire team passes the first round, can everyone advance into the second round – the individual round.”
Mu Jinghang fluffed the fox as if it was a pillow, “That’s good. The Gong Corporation is good at perfumes, right? Comprehensively, your company should be pretty good. That means Qingqing can at least get to the second round.”
Qiao Qing, “…”
