“We don’t need to rush with Lu Lingfeng for now. It won’t be until the end of next year at the earliest before we make a move against him. Right now, it’s a dog-eat-dog situation for them, and it’s not our turn to act,” Wang Jinhe said with interest.
One doesn’t want to marry, one is determined to marry, and another wants to stop the union. This love triangle game is quite interesting.
“Understood.” Seeing that it was too early to deal with Lu Lingfeng, Lin Zixub decided not to rush and instead help Qiu Chan finish her matters first.
“It’s getting late. You should go back and rest. I don’t need you here,” Wang Jinhe waved her hand to dismiss them.
After Qiu Chan and Lin Zixun left, he said, “I’ll come to discuss this matter with you tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
After exchanging a few more words, Lin Zixun left. He didn’t want to stay too long with them.
Qiu Yi looked at Qiu Chan with concern. “Sister, we’ve been preparing for so long, and you’ll be leaving in the second half of the year. You must be careful then.”
“I know. This time, besides you staying to protect the young lady, the most important reason for not letting you come with me is that our presence together would be too conspicuous. The young lady asked me to go with Lin Zixun, which will be much more convenient,” Qiu Chan said. Their presence together would allow for better disguise, and she felt more reassured this way.
Qiu Yi naturally understood this reasoning. The appearance of twins would certainly attract attention from certain individuals. They needed to keep a low profile as much as possible. Those people had not given up on them since they failed to capture them initially, and their appearance would only cause trouble.
“I know,” Qiu Yi replied.
“Go to sleep.”
Back in her room, Qiu Yi quickly fell asleep. Qiu Chan stood by the window, looking outside. It had been almost two years, and finally, the time for revenge had arrived. She touched her eyes, realizing that she might be recognized when she returned like this.
Turning to look at her sleeping sister, she smiled slightly. This was for the best.
The next day, Lin Zixun came as planned. After hearing what Qiu Chan needed to do, Lin Zixun knew what to do.
“When we go, we’ll pretend to be a couple doing business. It’s quite simple to disguise your eyes. We’ll go find Wan Gu and ask him to find a way to add a mole to the corner of your eye,” Lin Zixun said.
Qiu Chan was taken aback. Why hadn’t she thought of that?
“Besides that, when you do your makeup every day, just draw a bit in the corner of your eye,” he added. It was just a matter of disguising her eyes a bit.
“Thank you,” Lin Zixun’s solution undoubtedly helped her solve the biggest problem.
“You’re welcome.”
The two of them went to find Wan Gu. After learning about their purpose, Wan Gu furrowed his brows lightly. “Such a simple matter.”
Wan Gu asked the two to wait for a while as he went to prepare a potion. After about half an hour, Wan Gu returned and, standing beside Qiu Chan, added a red teardrop mole beneath her right eye. Then, he dropped the potion he had prepared into Qiu Chan’s eyes.
Lin Zi’en then saw Qiu Chan’s black eyes transform into a different color, but it was quite beautiful.
Wan Gu handed a mirror to Qiu Chan. “Is this okay?”
Qiu Chan touched the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye and looked at her eyes, now a different color, with amazement. “How did you do this? You’re truly amazing.”
Wan Gu leaned back in his chair and casually said, “It’s such a simple matter.”
Qiu Chan looked at Wan Gu’s nonchalant demeanor and understood that it was indeed very simple for him.
“Thank you.”
“I have other matters to attend to. You can leave now. If you need anything else, come find me. This potion can maintain the effect for about half a month, and it has no side effects,” Wan Gu explained calmly as he handed the potion to Qiu Chan.
Qiu Chan instinctively held the potion in her hand. With this potion, even if they recognized her eyes, there would be nothing they could do. After all, she had never heard of anyone being able to change the color of someone’s eyes.
“Now I don’t have to worry,” Qiu Chan said with a smile as she touched her eyes.
“Then let’s prepare to leave early. We’ll finish what needs to be done, and when we return, I’ll also help Madam deal with Lu Lingfeng. He’s not easy to deal with,” Lin Zixun said, frowning.
The reason she had not left was mainly because of her eyes. Otherwise, she would have left a month ago. Now that the opportunity had come, she naturally wouldn’t let it slip by.
When the two returned to Wang Jinhe’s courtyard, Qiu Yi was surprised to see Qiu Chan’s eyes and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye. “Sister, your eyes…”
“Wan Gu helped me prepare a potion that can change the color of a person’s eyes. I was worried about being recognized, but now I’m not. Does it look strange?” Qiu Chan asked somewhat self-consciously.
Qiu Yi quickly shook her head. “There’s nothing strange about it. I actually think you look very beautiful this way.”
Especially the blood-red teardrop mole at the corner of her sister’s eye made Qiu Chan look enchanting.
“You’re just making things up.”
“What about the young lady?” Qiu Chan asked, looking at Qiu Yi.
Qiu Yi pointed to the house. “The young lady is inside. Do you need to speak with her?”
“Now that I have no more lingering worries, I plan to go with Lin Zixun early to finish what needs to be done and return ahead of schedule,” Qiu Chan said. After all, Lin Zixun was right—there were many things to attend to on his end. She also knew about Lu Lingfeng, who was not easy to deal with. If things didn’t go well, it could be troublesome.
“So soon? Wasn’t it supposed to be in the second half of the year?” Qiu Yi asked, surprised.
She hadn’t expected Qiu Chan to leave so quickly.
“Whether sooner or later, I have to go. If I go earlier, I can return earlier. I’m counting on you here, and you must stay with the madam no matter what, okay?” Qiu Chan said, feeling concerned. Madam was someone who couldn’t stay idle. It was simply impossible to keep her at home, especially considering her upcoming plans. Moreover, with Gu Xiruo’s watchful eyes, she was truly worried about Madam’s safety.
But it seemed that Madam never cared or considered these things, just doing what she wanted to do every day.
Fortunately, Madame only went to a few places every day, and there were many people secretly watching over her. Otherwise, they would truly be worried.
“I understand.”
After the sisters finished talking, Wang Jinhe also came out of the house. Seeing the transformed Qiu Chan, she looked somewhat surprised. “It looks quite nice this way.”
Qiu Chan touched her eyes, feeling a bit embarrassed. “I still feel a bit strange.”
“Why would you?”
“Madam, I plan to go early,” Qiu Chan said.
“Alright. If you need anything, just let me know. Zixun may not be able to return for a while after going this time. Take a three-day break to visit your family,” Wang Jinhe said.
“Understood.”
