After returning from Lî Xueyun's place, Hé Hua comes back to her village. When villagers see that Chu Xiù is not with Hé Hua, they all ask her, "Where is Chu Xiù? Why is she not with you, Hé Hua?"
Just then Hé Hua breaks into tears. "Chu Xiù is not in this world anymore. When we were returning, a group of thieves killed my daughter because we refused to give them our money."
Everyone feels very sympathetic towards Hé Hua.
In the midst of all this, Hé Hua is secretly happy. Hé Hua never told Qin Fenhua about Chu Xiù. So if he ever comes to know that she once had a daughter, she can say that Chu Xiù is dead.
And that's how the wedding of Hé Hua and Qin Fenhua takes place without him knowing about the existence of Chu Xiù.
After the wedding of Hé Hua and Qin Fenhua, Feng Junfeng sends Feng Xiyang to the village to investigate Chu Xiù. He is very eager to know about her in just a few days of not seeing her.
Even though Feng Xiyang was only ten years old at that time, it didn’t affect how talented and efficient he was in his work.
Feng Xiyang tells Feng Junfeng about the death of Chu Xiù.
Listening to this news, Feng Junfeng shows no reaction on his face; but for the next whole month, he never eats his dinner.
He even gives orders to never stop searching for Chu Xiù, even after hearing about her death—like he knows that she is still alive.
Feng Junfeng, from a young age, has been very intelligent, smart, attentive, and diligent in anything he does.
When he was six years old, he gave the examination to enter class three from class one. Later, after passing from class three and going to class four, he gave the examination for entering class six. And like this, he passed the college entrance examination before the age of fourteen. Later, with passing years, in his twenties, he completed his college too.
In Feng Xiyang's eyes, his master is a very noble man to whom no one can compare. And it is true. But he doesn’t understand what is in that girl to make his master this sad.
“Is she really that special?” This is what Feng Xiyang thought at that time.
And now, in the present time too, Feng Xiyang still doesn’t understand what is in that girl, other than her beauty, that makes his master behave this strangely.
Inside the ice rink
After practicing her performance, Chu Xiù steps out of the rink and arranges her things. She moves toward the lift to leave for the Qin mansion.
When the door opens, she sees that man. That man has very long legs and stands straight. He is at least 6'8 feet tall, with pale skin as clear as glass, a sharp and deep pair of black eyes, a straight nose, and light pink lips.
Even the two people behind him are handsome, but he outshines them effortlessly.
His presence alone, without doing anything, exudes charm and can enchant anyone.
If there were any other girl standing here, she would have already fallen for him.
But Chu Xiù gives him a glance, enters the lift, and never turns again to look at Feng Junfeng even for a second.
Inside the lift
Sensing the awkwardness, Feng Haoyu speaks first and breaks the silence. "Hello. Myself Feng Haoyu, this expressionless man beside me is Feng Xiyang. And the handsome young man beside you is my Third Uncle, Feng Junfeng."
"Hmm. Hello. I am Chu Xiù," Chu Xiù says, not wanting to embarrass the boy by staying silent.
"Actually, my uncle is a little strict with his words and behaviour, so I hope you are not offended by any of his words," Feng Haoyu says, thinking if his future aunt will become sad due to his stupid uncle's behaviour before.
"No, I am not offended with any of Mr. Feng's words. In fact, I am kind of thankful to him for not giving my locket to anyone," Chu Xiù says to Feng Haoyu in a calm tone.
"I was going to thank you for that. Thank you, Mr. Feng Junfeng," Chu Xiù says sincerely, looking at Feng Junfeng.
"Anytime," Feng Junfeng says with a small smile on his face.
Seeing his beautiful smile, Chu Xiù is stunned for a few seconds but comes back to her senses after a while and exits the lift as it reaches the ground floor.
Feng Junfeng also exits the lift with Chu Xiù. Both walk side by side. "Little girls should not be going around alone this late at night. It can be dangerous," he says to Chu Xiù.
Feng Junfeng is right, as it is now eleven o'clock at night.
"It's nothing new for me. I can take care of myself very well," Chu Xiù says in a casual tone, like it really is nothing new for her.
"Why? Is your mother not worried about you, little girl?" Feng Junfeng asks with a slight frown between his brows and an unknown emotion in his eyes.
"No, for her, I am as good as dead," Chu Xiù says in a natural tone, like it’s not about her but someone else.
Saying this, Chu Xiù leaves without looking back.
Feng Junfeng is still standing outside the gate of Star Sports Club, watching Chu Xiù hail a cab, get inside, and leave.
'I told you, right, that we will meet again. Right, Little Xiù.' Feng Junfeng thinks with a sweet smile on his face.
"Feng Xiyang, investigate Chu Xiù. I want to know everything about her," Feng Junfeng says to Feng Xiyang with a cold and emotionless face.
"Yes, master."
"Third Uncle, you change your expressions even faster than a person flips a page. If aunt comes to know this, maybe she will refuse to marry you. But either way, Third Uncle, thumbs up to your choice," Feng Haoyu says with a broad smile while getting inside the car.
"Go home and copy the math formulas thirty times," Feng Junfeng says to Feng Haoyu, who is sitting beside him.
"What!? No! Why? I don't want to!" Feng Haoyu says to Feng Junfeng in a grieving tone.
