Chapter 835: 0835 Finally Meet! (Fifth Update)

Seeing this face again, Ye Qiu was slightly spellbound, not expecting Mu Wanqing to visit in person.

Glancing at Ma Lingling by her side, he figured it out—Ma Lingling must have told her that he was in Capital City.

"What’s wrong, not inviting us in? Or are you hiding another beauty inside?" Ma Lingling joked.

"Welcome, welcome," Ye Qiu said with a smile, making space for the two to enter the villa.

Ma Lingling made herself right at home without any hesitation, plopping down on the sofa while Mu Wanqing seemed a bit more reserved at the moment.

Seeing Mu Wanqing this way, Ma Lingling couldn’t help but sigh; Wan Qing clearly wanted to see Ye Qiu, and now here he is in front of you, yet you say nothing and fall into silence. This best friend of mine is really causing me a headache.

Ma Lingling had to speak up for Mu Wanqing, saying: "Ye Qiu, Wan Qing is here, and you just stand there? Why don’t you talk to our beautiful Wan Qing? Anyone else would be thrilled to have Wan Qing visit, but here you are, like a blockhead, clueless."

Scolded by Ma Lingling, Ye Qiu felt somewhat helpless. He hadn’t been ignoring Mu Wanqing, and besides, it was the two of you who took the initiative to visit, catching me off guard.

"Cough cough... Long time no see," Ye Qiu coughed and initiated the conversation.

Seeing Ye Qiu catching on, Ma Lingling said, "You two chat; I’ll take a look around. I never imagined you were a hidden tycoon to afford such a mansion."

Ma Lingling moved aside to give the pair some space and whispered in Mu Wanqing’s ear as she got up: "Go for it, snag him."

Mu Wanqing pinched Ma Lingling hard, telling her to stop talking nonsense—not so quietly either, as Ye Qiu heard it, which was quite embarrassing for her.

"Lingling said I misunderstood you that day, I’m sorry, I was just being too wilful then," Mu Wanqing said.

Listening to a superstar beauty apologizing to him felt quite special, but Ye Qiu thought it was tough on Mu Wanqing. In fact, even he felt that he and Mu Wanqing were fated, always bumping into each other unintentionally.

"You were not wrong; it was just a coincidence, which shows that we are fated," Ye Qiu said.

When Ye Qiu mentioned the word "fated," a shy smile appeared on Mu Wanqing’s face. In truth, she wasn’t clear about her own feelings. In the entertainment industry she had met many leading men; several were far more handsome than Ye Qiu, and many heirs from wealthy families were much richer than Ye Qiu. Many of these men were fond of her and even expressed their feelings for her privately, but Mu Wanqing rejected them all.

Because in her mind, it was always Ye Qiu’s face that surfaced, not exceptionally handsome but often carrying a faint smile, flitting through her thoughts.

At this moment, she realized that her heart had been occupied by Ye Qiu for a long time. When did she start falling for Ye Qiu?

Perhaps it was from the first moment Ye Qiu stepped in to rescue her, impressing her deeply, and then the subsequent coincidental encounters deepened her impression of him.

This man who never gave her flowers, never treated her to a fancy meal, never gave her presents, found a place in her heart.

The two chatted slowly, with Mu Wanqing frequently laughing at Ye Qiu’s words, being just a simple girl rather than a superstar in front of him.

When Ma Lingling saw this scene, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She felt happy for her best friend Mu Wanqing, yet there was also an inexplicable sense of loss. But she swiftly dismissed that feeling; after all, she chose not to follow her father’s advice to snatch Ye Qiu from Mu Wanqing’s hands, because she couldn’t bear it. Even if Ye Qiu was excellent, if her best friend Mu Wanqing liked him, she wouldn’t steal from her.

They were the best of friends, and Ma Lingling refused to betray that friendship.

Ma Lingling walked to a corner of the hall and suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a massive figure.

"Wow, is this a specimen?" Ma Lingling exclaimed as though she had discovered a new continent. She saw a giant eagle standing motionless in the corner, as still as a sculpture.

Ma Lingling slowly approached, about to reach out and touch the eagle’s feathers, when she suddenly noticed the eagle’s eyes move.

Ma Lingling’s mouth instantly formed an ’o’ shape, and she screamed: "Monster!"

Ye Qiu and Mu Wanqing, who were chatting amiably, were interrupted by Ma Lingling’s shout. They saw Ma Lingling running to their side, very afraid, pointing towards the corner with almost inarticulate speech.

"It... it’s alive..."

Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered, guessing that Ma Lingling had seen Hai Dongqing and been frightened, and so he addressed the corner: "Jin Yu, look what you’ve done, you’ve frightened our guest. Go out and apologize."

After Ye Qiu spoke, Ma Lingling wore a look of horror as the giant eagle moved forward, flapping on the ground with a clattering sound on the floorboards.

Frightened, Ma Lingling quickly hid behind Ye Qiu, and Mu Wanqing wasn’t much braver, her courage equally frail as she clutched at Ye Qiu’s arm, fearfully peeking out at the large eagle.

This eagle was none other than Hai Dongqing, who after consuming Ye Qiu’s Primordial Pill, had transformed into this immense form.

Hai Dongqing ’Jin Yu’ stepped forward, nodding its head at Ma Lingling and Mu Wanqing as if it truly was apologizing, which was quite amusing.

Seeing this incredible scene, Ma Lingling and Mu Wanqing’s fear gave way to fascination as they wondered: "Can it really understand human language?"

Ye Qiu nodded, "It is very intelligent, naturally it understands. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt you."

Reassured by Ye Qiu’s guarantee, the two were no longer afraid but rather became very curious about Hai Dongqing. Ye Qiu said, "You can touch it, it’s very gentle."

Hai Dongqing cooperated nicely, standing there peacefully. To embolden them, Ye Qiu walked over and touched Hai Dongqing, and only then did Ma Lingling and Mu Wanqing gather the courage to come forward, gently touching it and, finding that indeed nothing was amiss, allowed themselves to stroke it longer.

Soon, they realized that this large bird was just as Ye Qiu had described—very docile.

Following Ye Qiu’s example, they called the large bird Hai Dongqing by the name Jin Yu. Hai Dongqing flapped its wings, constantly responding, causing the two women to giggle.

The two women played with Jin Yu for a while, growing increasingly fond of it. They stayed at Ye Qiu’s place for three hours before leaving reluctantly. Mu Wanqing’s reluctance was for Ye Qiu, while Ma Lingling was reluctant to leave Jin Yu, the large bird that had given her such a fright, for it was much too intelligent. It responded to everything she said.

Ye Qiu walked them to the door, they exchanged goodbyes, and they drove away in their car.

Seeing Mu Wanqing’s smiling face, Ye Qiu was in a good mood; such a beautiful woman looked better while smiling.

Just as Ye Qiu was turning back toward the villa, he suddenly looked back, his gaze shooting towards a certain spot.

It seemed as though two pairs of eyes were watching him.

"Who’s there!" Ye Qiu shouted.
