"Miss, he got into the car with you!" The taxi driver answered.

Xia Tian nodded: "Sister Yun Qing, what the brother driver said is right. I got into the car together with you."

“Mr. Xia, at this moment, I have important matters to attend to and I don’t want you following me!” Yun Qing felt she needed to be clear about this: "I hope you can get out of the car."

"Sister Yun Qing, I also have important things to do. We're going in the same direction anyway, so let's go together. I’ll share the taxi fare," Xia Tian said with a smile.

Yun Qing was somewhat irritated; how could this person be such a troublemaker

"What important matters do you have" Yun Qing asked unhappily, she didn’t like clingy men.

"I want to see Ma Ting," Xia Tian replied.

“You!” Yun Qing’s expression changed dramatically. Lowering her voice, she asked incredulously: "Who told you this name"

Xia Tian chuckled and said: “Of course it was Mr. Tao at the airport.”

"What do you intend to do" Yun Qing's voice became even quieter, so much so that the driver couldn't hear her.

In the summer heat, he leaned forward and whispered to Yun Qing's ear, "Sis Yun Qing, I need to send Ji Nan to a cell, but I don't know him very well, so I came to find you."

"You, you even know Ji Nan" Yun Qing was even more shocked; she had only mentioned this name to Leng Bingbing, could it be that Leng Bingbing told Summer

"Miss, do you still want him to get off the car" The driver suddenly interjected, "There's a place up ahead where we can park."

Yun Qing gave Summer a complex look and then turned her head, sitting straight on her seat while saying coolly, "Driver, no need, please drive faster."

Even though Yun Qing still had many questions in her mind, with the taxi driver present beside them, some things weren't suitable to ask about, so she could only hold back for now.

At this moment, Yun Qing received another call. After hanging up, she told the driver, "Driver, sorry, we're not going to the airport anymore, please take us to Yangtian Hotel near East Road."

"No problem." The driver responded and then asked, "Did you two have a fight"

"We didn't argue; it's just that Sis Yun Qing has some misunderstandings about me," Summer replied with a cheerful smile.

The driver chuckled, "Brother, your girlfriend is so pretty, you need to keep an eye on her or she'll run away by plane."

"Driver uncle is right; I will definitely look after Sis Yun Qing well." Summer answered.

Yun Qing could no longer tolerate it: "Driver, I am not his girlfriend!"

"Haha, brother, you still have a lot of work to do. Your girlfriend is still angry," the driver said with a laugh. "When you get to the hotel, be sure to comfort her so she won't run away again by taking another flight."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qing understood that they were heading to the airport first and then changing course to a hotel, creating an impression that she had been angry enough to leave but now decided to stay after cooling off.

She was tempted to curse someone but remembered there were important matters at hand. Besides, arguing with the taxi driver wasn't worth it either. If he wanted to misunderstand, let him; they weren’t close friends anyway.

After about twenty minutes, Xia Tian and Yun Qing arrived at Yangtian Hotel. Instead of entering the hotel, Yun Qing led them across the street to a noodle shop where they sat for another half hour before finally eating their noodles.

"Let's have something to eat here first; she won't be here for another while," said Yun Qing, referring to Ma Ting.

The airport was about half an hour away by car. Even if Ma Ting left immediately after landing, it would take her at least ten minutes to get there. If traffic were heavy, the wait could be even longer.

"Yun Qing sister, how did you know she'd come here" Xia Tian asked with curiosity.

"I have my ways," Yun Qing replied calmly, then raised her voice and called out to the boss: "Boss, give me a serving of late-night knife-cut noodles."

"I'll have one too," added Xia Tian.

"Sure thing, two servings of knife-cut noodles coming up right away," responded the noodle shop's owner.

A few minutes later, the noodles were served. One person ate them with great enthusiasm while the other seemed lost in thought.

It was Summer who daydreamed, as he saw Beauty eating so extravagantly for the first time. Sun Xinxin always ate slowly and meticulously, with a small appetite, while Qiao Xiaoqiao was no different; even when she had fast food with the policewoman sister yesterday, the policewoman still maintained her elegance. However, Yun Qing at this moment exhibited none of these ladylike qualities.

"Sister Yun Qing must be very hungry," Summer could only tell himself this. About two minutes later, Yun Qing finished a large bowl of knife-cut noodles, not even leaving any soup behind, while Summer was so distracted by watching her eat that he hadn't moved at all.

Yun Qing glanced at Summer and casually wiped her mouth with a tissue before staring at the entrance of Yangtian Hotel.

At this moment, Summer finally started eating his noodles. He then realized that he actually didn’t enjoy eating them. Hence, for once today, the ravenous Summer began chewing slowly and meticulously, but after about ten minutes, half the bowl was still left uneaten.

The noodle shop owner couldn't help muttering to himself whether these two had swapped genders.

"Sister Yun Qing, that taxi is here," Summer suddenly reminded her.

"Where" Yun Qing asked hurriedly.

"That one there." Summer pointed. "A girl just got out wearing a yellow dress and sunglasses, with long hair..."

“It's her!” Yun Qing finally spotted her and quickly ran out: “You pay the bill!”

Summer was not in a hurry; he paid first before leaving the noodle shop and soon arrived by Yun Qing’s side. Yun Qing didn’t greet Ma Ting, instead following her into the hotel after she entered.

Ma Ting quickly booked a room and got into the elevator. This time, Yun Qing also stepped in with her.

It was evident that Ma Ting had a strong sense of vigilance. She faced away from Yun Qing and Xia Tian, deliberately keeping a distance from them. The large sunglasses still covered her face, clearly not wanting to be recognized. Unfortunately, she wasn’t a professional makeup artist, so the private detective surnamed Tao managed to identify her at the airport.

The elevator stopped on the sixth floor, and Ma Ting walked toward room 602 with her card key. She looked around carefully before opening the door and stepping inside.

"You stay here and watch while I go downstairs to book a room," Yun Qing whispered to Xia Tian.

"If we keep standing here staring, people will think we're thieves!" Yun Qing said irritably.

Yun Qing went down the stairs. As it was noon, most guests had just checked out, leaving many available rooms. She easily booked room 604, opposite Ma Ting's room, and then left her door slightly ajar to keep watch on the movements across from her.

Xia Tian found Yun Qing's intense focus somewhat perplexing. Was she really a lawyer To him, she seemed more like a private detective.

Quickly, Xia Tian’s gaze fell upon Yun Qing’s ample rear end. As she sat on the stool with her body leaning forward to peek through the door crack, it accentuated her curvy bottom in an enticing manner.

Henceforth, during this period of time, Yun Qing kept watch over the room across from her, while Xia Tian fixed his gaze upon Yun Qing’s posterior. If there had been a third person present, they would have found the scene quite bizarre.

Yun Qing watched for nearly an hour but saw no movement in the opposite room; Xia Tian was treated to some eye candy instead. However, he felt an inner frustration building up and sensed a stirring desire at a certain part of his body.

"Sister Yun Qing, why don't I take over watching" Xia Tian thought he couldn’t continue looking if this went on; since she wasn’t his wife yet, he could only look but not touch, which would lead to trouble.

“Don't speak!” Yun Qing suddenly whispered harshly. It turned out that there was movement outside just then—a well-dressed young man wearing glasses walked up to the door of room 602 and stopped.

“Damn it, it's Ji Ming; he found Ma Ting!” Yun Qing’s expression drastically changed.

Summer then asked, "Who is Ji Ming"

"He’s Ji Nan’s son." A hint of resentment appeared on Yun Qing’s face as she clenched her teeth. “A worse beast than his father!"

As they were speaking, Ji Ming had already raised his hand to knock at the door: "Tingting, it's your Little Ming Brother here! I know you're inside; could you open the door"

"Oh no, what should we do Ma Ting must have figured something out. We can't let Ji Ming take her away!" Yun Qing was extremely anxious but she didn’t know what to do.

“Senior Sister Yun Qing, I’ll just chase that guy called Ji Ming away,” Summer said offhandedly.

"You" Yun Qing looked at Summer and was somewhat doubtful. “Can you do it”

"Tingting!" Ji Ming knocked again, his tone starting to sound anxious. "What’s wrong with you Open the door! Did your heart condition flare up again Say something! If you don’t say anything, I’ll break the door down!”

"This bastard’s acting skills are actually quite good!" Yun Qing said through clenched teeth and then told Summer, "Go ahead. Regardless of what methods you use, just make sure Ji Ming doesn’t take Ma Ting away."

At this point, all Yun Qing could do was hope for the best; she put her hopes in Summer. If she were to get involved herself, it wouldn't have any effect.

Outside Room 602’s door, Ji Ming saw that the door remained tightly shut. A sneer appeared on his lips as he stepped back two steps and kicked at the door with a raised foot.ite a few people who were all looking upwards and pointing at something while discussing fervently. On top of the building, a young woman held her child straddling the railing, appearing ready to jump...
