Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The weather forecast said that there would be rain during the Mid-autumn Festival, and it was not wrong. After noon, the rain poured down.
The rainfall in City Z was quite high all year round, but now that it was autumn, the rain was naturally a little cold.
When Qin Su drove through the streets of the city, the streets were quite deserted. Not sure whether it was because of the rain or because everyone was rushing home for the festival.
The car drove along the road. When she passed by a florist, she suddenly slowed down and stopped at a temporary parking space on the roadside in front of her. She did not bring an umbrella with her, so she had to lock the car, carrying two large boxes of gifts, she rushed to the florist in the rain.
“Hello, Miss. Would you like to buy flowers?”
Qin Su had just rushed to the front of the shop when she stopped and bathed in the fragrance of the air. When she looked at the beautiful flowers that were in full bloom, the lady boss of the shop also came forward to welcome her.
Qin Su lowered her head and carefully looked at all kinds of flowers. She nodded slightly. The eye-catching suit on her made her look very imposing, as well as her cold and beautiful face, the shop owner could not help but be a little stunned.
“Give me a bunch of carnations. Are they delivered to door?”
“Oh, yes, they are delivered to your door.”
It took the lady boss quite a while to react.
“Well, then hurry up and pack them. A bunch of carnations. Also, please help me send these gifts over, I’ll write down the address for you.”
As Qin Su said that, she took out a letter paper and pen from her pocket and wrote down the address quickly. Then, she handed a few large red notes to the lady boss.
“Is it enough?”
“Yes! It’s definitely enough!”
Not only was she good-looking, she was also so straightforward and generous! It was really rare!
“Okay, then please bring this letter and these things too. Is that okay?” Qin Su asked.
“No problem, don’t worry! I will write the receipt for you right now, Miss. Oh, no, it’s Officer. Please wait a moment!”
The lady boss beamed with joy and quickly wrote a receipt for Qin Su.
Qin Su also reached out to take the receipt. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the lady boss behind her called out to her—
“Wait a moment, Officer! This is a rose from our shop. Today is the Mid-autumn Festival, and you are the 20th customer of our shop, so we’re gifting you a stalk of champagne rose.”
As the lady boss spoke, she handed over a blooming champagne rose.
Qin Su paused and hesitated for a moment before taking the rose. She lowered her eyes and looked at it for a moment before replying, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, Officer!”
Before the lady boss could finish her words, Qin Su’s straight figure had already disappeared outside the door.
…
Meanwhile, on the road, a black luxury car was slowly driving by.
In the car sat Zhou Zimo and his personal assistant, Lian Ziyao. It was the driver who drove.
Zhou Zimo was actually rushing back from the Military District. Zhou Zhenjun had some things that he needed to bring back, so the Military District called him to pick them up.
“Master, the rain is a little heavy. Should we go straight back to the old residence? At this time, I’m afraid that Su’s Bakery won’t open, especially at a time like today.”
The driver in front asked softly.
Zhou Zimo, who was resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes. He turned to look out the window. Sure enough, the rain outside was gradually getting heavier.
He frowned and was about to say something when, out of the blue, a military-green figure appeared in front of his eyes
It was a military-green uniform with a slender and petite figure. Her beautiful long hair was tied up into a bun. She looked cold and serious. She was tiptoeing and left a champagne rose on the handrail of the street lamp.
The blooming flower and the windy rain gave her an entirely different feeling, like the person herself.
Zhou Zimo could not shift his gaze away as his eyes followed that figure!
He did not even need to think before he could recognize the owner of that figure!
Qin Su!
There was no mistake!
She was the only one who could maintain such a serious and tense face, yet it revealed a different kind of seductive charm.
The coldness that was revealed from her bones was beautiful!
“Stop the car!”
Seeing Qin Su’s figure walking towards the side of the car, Zhou Zimo hurriedly said.
“Master?”
The driver in front thought that he was hearing things, so he spoke with certainty.
“I told you to stop the car! Hurry up! Pull over and stop the car!”
Zhou Zimo’s tone was filled with a trace of urgency, causing the driver to have no choice but to calm down and slowly pull the car to the side.
Without waiting for the car to stabilize, Zhou Zimo had already pulled open the car door and walked towards the direction of Qin Su’s car.
However, at this moment, Qin Su had already started the car and pulled out of the parking spot.
“Qin Su! Stop!”
Zhou Zimo chased after her, and the pouring rain soon drenched his entire body.
However, it was obvious that Qin Su did not hear him. She increased the speed of the car and the silhouette of the car quickly disappeared into the vast rain in front of him!
“Qin Su!”
Zhou Zimo watched as the silhouette of the car disappeared into the rain and could not help but clench his fists in frustration. His entire body was already drenched by the wind and rain. He raised his hand to wipe away the rain on his face and fixed his gaze on the direction of the car in front of him.
“Master!”
Lian Ziyao hurriedly caught up with him with an umbrella in hand. “Did something happen?”
Zhou Zimo panted slightly and raised his head to look at the big umbrella that covered him. He then looked in that direction before taking a deep breath. He turned around to look at the champagne rose that was left on the street lamp by the side. After some thought, he walked forward and took down that rose…
“Master, what…”
Lian Ziyao did not quite understand Zhou Zimo’s reaction this time. However, looking at his expression, it did not seem right!
It should be her, Qin Su. With that appearance and that grace, Zhou Zimo felt that he would not be mistaken.
How long had it been since they last met?
10 years?
Has It been 10 years?
If it has not been 10 years, it should be seven or eight, right?
Back then, Qin Su seemed to have just graduated from the Commander Academy not long ago. She was specially recruited and was very young!
At this thought, Zhou Zimo could not help but raise his hand to hold his left chest—
There was a rather deep scar there. If it had not been for Qin Su, he would have gone straight to see Marx!
He remembered that her arm was also severely injured. The bullet had passed through her arm and had even been slashed. He did not know if she was better now.
When the mission had ended, he wanted to visit her. He heard that she had not rested for long in the hospital before she left. Back then, he had almost exhausted all his means to find out that she had been transferred to the Northwest Military Region…
