32: Inseparable

32: Inseparable

Finally, I opened another envelope I had received some time ago.

The envelope was adorned with exquisite maple leaves, and without obstructing the postage stamp, miniature red couplets were affixed. On the back was a decorative “Good Fortune” character.

“Happy New Year, Mr. Maple Leaf. Knowing that France doesn’t have much of a New Year’s atmosphere, I especially put couplets on the envelope for you. I hope you can return to China for the Spring Festival next year. I want to celebrate the New Year’s Eve with you…”

The ringing of the phone broke the atmosphere in the house.

Qiu Ci answered, “Hello? Little Su…”

“Brother Qiu, Happy New Year! Are you in Japan?” Su Yuyang was on the hotel terrace, catching some air. As soon as the fireworks quieted down, he quickly called Qiu Ci.

“Happy New Year to you too. I’m going back to France tomorrow. Have the company contracts been signed?”

“We got it done before the New Year. With your sister gone, a lot of things are handled by the people below, so it’s easy.”

“That’s good.”

“Brother Qiu, keep me company and chat for a while~”

Qiu Ci chuckled softly, “Thank you for your trouble these past few days. When you come to France, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“No, I want you to come to China and buy me a drink.”

“Okay, one last year.”

“Brother Qiu, I miss you,” Su Yuyang said clingingly.

Qiu Ci was silent for a long time before finally hanging up.

One year to undermine Qiu Shi’s company.

That letter wouldn’t necessarily shake the two of them. Qiu Ci didn’t have high hopes, only hoping for a rift to appear between them, and for Qiu Shi to stay in Tokyo for another six months.

During this time, they should argue. After that, Qiu Shi probably wouldn’t dare to leave Japan.

Qiu Shi’s explanation to the company was that she would return to China after the New Year, but it wasn’t possible yet because Qiu Ci hadn’t finished.

Half a year, just give him half a year.

He wouldn’t always be under Qiu Shi’s control, nor would he let Qiu Shi take everything he wanted.

Qiu Shi’s ambition was too great. She wanted a lover, as well as status and money, and she wouldn’t let go of Qiu Ci either.

If you grab too much, you’ll end up with nothing.

Sister, you are a greedy she-wolf.

Qiu Ci followed closely behind this wolf, waiting for her to be injured so he could devour her.

The forest was only so big, and every predator needed food.

Limited resources couldn’t support more adult predators.

Qiu Shi indeed followed their plan.

Afraid that Tsukimi Rin would be unhappy, she spent another six months in Japan.

The two of them had a very comfortable time.

Having never had the time in previous years, they now had leisure for half a year.

They visited all the attractions in Japan.

Qiu Shi was pulling a suitcase, and Tsukimi Rin was wearing a fisherman’s hat. As soon as they arrived home, her mother clung to her.

“How was it? Did you have fun?”

“Super great, the flower fields there were beautiful.” Tsukimi Rin talked non-stop.

Her mother nodded, “Now is the beginning of summer, the best time for flowers to bloom.”

Qiu Shi interjected, “Oh right, in a while, the fruits will be coming down. I have a familiar farm in China, we can go there for the seasonal produce, let’s invite Mom and Dad.”

Tsukimi Rin thought for a moment, “I’ve had a lot of fun lately. I’m planning to go back to work.”

Qiu Shi was silent, “Go back to being a detective?”

“Yeah, you haven’t worked with me before.” Tsukimi Rin moved closer to Qiu Shi.

“Okay, I’ll be your assistant in Tokyo then.”

“Wow, a female CEO is going to be my assistant.” Tsukimi Rin pretended to be surprised.

“Yes, baby, I’m willing to be with you now.” Qiu Shi suddenly thought of another thing, “You reminded me, I just remembered, Dad’s contract has to be signed in the next few days, I’ll have the assistant send it over.”

The mother watched the two of them interact and noticed the unreasonableness of this relationship. She wanted to speak, but seeing the affection between them, she couldn’t bear to say anything.

Late at night, the mother came to Tsukimi Rin’s room. Qiu Shi still lived in the guest room next door.

Tsukimi Rin was on a help website looking for suitable cases.

“What’s wrong? Mom.” Tsukimi Rin asked.

The mother sat on the bed and planned to talk to her heart-to-heart, “Rin, you’ve been having a lot of fun lately, right.”

“It was really great, it’s rare to have time to relax after so many years.”

“When you start working, is Ms. Qiu going to work with you too?” The mother asked.

“Yes, it feels safer to be together.”

The mother shook her head, “But Ms. Qiu also has important work, is that really okay?”

Tsukimi Rin took her head away from the computer screen, “Work has no priority, all kinds of trouble have been caused by being separated in the past few years, we don’t want that anymore, for us now, being together is more important.”

The mother said earnestly, “Rin, I don’t want to advise you like this either, from a long-term perspective, Ms. Qiu’s work is more suitable for your future development.”

“What do you mean?” Tsukimi Rin’s expression gradually turned displeased.

“Your mother is also thinking about your future. Idealism is indeed good, but its foundation is built on material things. In those years in school, if it wasn’t for Ms. Qiu, could you have become a detective later? And…” The mother’s tone was steady, “Although your father’s company is still under his control, the premise is that Ms. Qiu is the head of CW. If she really let go, regardless of those greedy shareholders, or her twin brother, I don’t think her brother grew up to be a pushover either. The stability now is only because their adoptive father is still around. In a few years, once the adoptive father is gone, these two young people will probably be quickly expelled from the financial circle, and your father, who is closely related to her, will also be implicated.”

The mother made clear the stakes of this complex business relationship, and Tsukimi Rin also understood her mother’s concerns.

“Okay, Mom, I’ll discuss it with Qiu Shi, you go to rest first.”

After the mother left, Tsukimi Rin couldn’t sleep at all.

CW’s largest shareholder, Qiu Shi and Qiu Ci’s adoptive father, had been reported to be ill a few years ago.

Although Qiu Shi had made plans at the time, various things in the past two years had delayed a lot, and Qiu Ci had also become an unstable factor.

Her father was also tied to the same boat. What would be the worst outcome if Qiu Shi really gave up CW to be her assistant?

Like the other children, an accidental death?

To what extent could Qiu Ci do?

Judging from the decisiveness of Qiu Ci’s last visit, he probably wouldn’t pull them up when they fell into the valley.

She struggled all night.

She didn’t want to be separated from Qiu Shi again.

Their relationship could no longer stand the test. Even after such a long time, Tsukimi Rin still found it difficult to unconditionally believe Qiu Shi.

The next morning.

Qiu Shi knocked on Tsukimi Rin’s door, “Get up and eat, honey.” She went to the bedside to call Tsukimi Rin.

Tsukimi Rin looked at her with tired eyes.

“Oh? Didn’t you sleep?” Qiu Shi poured her a glass of water.

“Qiu Shi, I want to study finance,” Tsukimi Rin said.

“Huh?” Qiu Shi was extremely puzzled, “What’s wrong with you?”

“I’ve thought a lot. For our future, it’s better for you to work, but I don’t want to be separated from you. I’ll also study finance, and then inherit my dad’s company, how about we stand shoulder to shoulder?”

“Don’t you dislike finance? I want you to do what you want to do.”
