Starlight Has No Past
Chapter 32 Part 4

By the time Ye Qiao left the s.h.i.+p, the storm of emotions inside her had yet to calm down. When she stepped onto the pier, she received bank transaction request on her cell phone. She took a look. It wasn't from Wen Shaoqian.

It was from Gu Jin, who had indeed transferred a million RMB to her. Ye Qiao counted the number of zeros and flew into a rage, throwing the cell phone into the water.
The dark blue sea water slowly swallowed her cell phone. Before the screen died, it seemed to flash from an incoming phone call.

At the auction the next day, Liang Ziruo didn't see Wen Shaoqian nor Ye Qiao. Zhou Tingsheng was nowhere to be found either. She angrily called him: “Didn't you say that you'd be at my service the whole month?”
He lightly replied: “Times have changed.”
Liang Ziruo was furious: “Don't talk glibly in front of me! Just tell me, are you coming back or not?”
Zhou Tingsheng replied with the usual indifferent tone: “I learned it from someone.” Then he added lightly: “I'm not coming back.”

He was driving at full speed on the freeway. He had just discovered how far it was from the port city to G City. What exactly was wrong with him earlier, that he'd drive the whole night to get here?
His cell phone on top of the dashboard showed that his call hadn't gone through again. Zhou Tingsheng slightly frowned and watched the cell phone automatically dial the number again.

Trees quickly pa.s.sed by the window along the road, like a scroll painting being opened. He couldn't wait till the scroll was fully opened and to see someone's seal at the end of the scroll.

Ye Qiao, meanwhile, was sitting at the gate waiting to board an airplane to go to another city. She had borrowed a cell phone to call Qianxi.
Qianxi had been waiting for this moment for several days. She excitedly tried to poke for some details: “How's Shaoqian Ge? Isn't he talented and gentle?”
“En.” Ye Qiao half-heartedly answered, trying to move to the next topic quickly.

Though she wasn't too happy about Qianxi arranging the meeting with Wen Shaoqian behind her back, she knew it had been out of goodwill. Qianxi was a naive girl; she would cry “I'll never believe in love anymore” whenever news broke about the latest celebrity divorce. If she found out what Wen Shaoqian was really like, her outlook of life would probably be destroyed.

Ye Qiao attributed the incident as her own bad luck and didn't want to bother talking about it anymore. But Qianxi was still asking as excitedly as ever. Ye Qiao impatiently interrupted her: “Stop asking.” To make it more persuasive, she looked up and spoke with some difficulty: “I have found someone I like.”

Qianxi called out: “d.a.m.n, it can't be? You have a  new love interest this quickly? I feel so sorry for my Shaoqian Gege……” She mourned for a moment, then remembered that it was more important to get to the bottom of this new love affair. She started her inquiry like a matchmaker: “Who is he? How does he look? What does his family do?”
There were too many questions. Ye Qiao picked the last one to answer: “I don't know.”
Qianxi said: “Ah. Then what does he do?”
Ye Qiao thought about the question and found that she wasn't really clear about what he did for a living. She was honest: “I'm not sure.”
Qianxi couldn't believe what she had heard so far, but she wasn't giving up: “Then does he like you? You should know that at least?”

She was sure that he liked her in the past. But after last night, both sides were somewhat disappointed in the other. Though Ye Qiao was frank as she could possibly be in the end, she wasn't sure whether he had gotten the message or not. Ye Qiao told Qianxi: “I haven't asked him yet.”
Qianxi was about to cry at the other end of the phone: “Cousin, are you for real? You're not trying to fool me? You don't know, it's not clear, you haven't asked…...A few days ago, grandma asked me how you were doing. I told her that your standards are too high and you didn't want to look for a boyfriend right now. Who knew that it was this easy to win over a G.o.ddess's heart. I'm going on Weibo and ask your fans to protest about it!”

Ye Qiao's replied like always: “Go ahead, I'm hanging up.”

Qianxi squeaked and begged her not to: “Last question! Only one last question!”
Ye Qiao patiently said: “Alright.”
Qianxi sounded quite serious, but only had a very short question: “Is he handsome?”
Ye Qiao chuckled: “......I guess so.”
Qianxi laughed like an evil king from a cartoon and indignantly said: “So, this is really a world where looks matter!”
