As the bedroom door was quietly pushed open, Sheng Qianchi was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, having just finished the last phone call. He glanced at the doorway, quickly walked over to the bunk, lay down, as if he had never gotten up. Gu Jiayin entered quietly, making hardly a sound, yet bringing in a chill and dampness. In the darkness, Sheng Qianchi half-squinted his eyes, watching the woman tiptoe in, silently observing for a few seconds, his thin lips curling into a smile that was both playful and nonchalant. Until she climbed back into the bed, Sheng Qianchi didn’t say a word, or even make a sound. Gu Jiayin let out a deep breath. It was already early morning. She gently closed her eyes, peacefully drifting into dreamland. In the darkness, listening to the woman’s even breathing, Sheng Qianchi quietly swiped open his phone. The message from Mo Jun contained just a brief sentence: All surveillance has been cleared, Miss Gu will be without trouble. With a satisfied curl of his lips, he deleted the message and closed his eyes peacefully. The next day, the sky was clear. As with every time after a night rain, the world was particularly fresh and clean. Gu Jiayin slept until ten before waking. The sunlight poured through the curtains onto her fair skin, as if the goddess of love was caressing an exquisite sleeping beauty. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall on the dark blue bedspread, further highlighting her snow-like skin, alluring and charming. Such a woman, bestowed by heaven with beauty, was unimaginable as someone who, just last night, like a ghost, orchestrated a car accident, killed without trace, and used a micro high-power infrared agent weapon to blind Ye Zhilin. She slept with the pleasure of revenge, and this sleep was exceptionally restful. Before opening her eyes, she stretched lazily. When her eyes opened, she was startled to see the handsome man sitting by the bed, just quietly watching her. If it wasn’t an illusion, she saw in his eyes a tenderness, thick and unyielding. He sat backlit, with a fiercely carved handsome silhouette outlined in gold, his eyes deep as if with strong allure, lips curled in a gentle smile. He seemed to be in a good mood. Gu Jiayin glanced at the clock on the wall, stunned for a moment, "Aren’t you going to work?" Sheng Qianchi didn’t speak, still watching the woman who had a slight post-slumber laziness, his lips slowly widening, the smile deepening. "What are you smiling about?" Gu Jiayin sat up with the quilt around her. Sheng Qianchi’s smile remained, his deep eyes locked on the woman before him, and when he spoke, his voice was magnetic and beguiling, "I’m smiling because I’ve found a treasure." Gu Jiayin frowned, thinking this man seemed crazy. Sheng Qianchi handed a tablet to Gu Jiayin, still smiling, "You’ve become a celebrity." Ha! She had always been a celebrity; it’s just her reputation wasn’t that great. Saying nothing more, she picked up the tablet and looked. Large headlines, large spreads, and large pictures were comprehensive reports on her and Sheng Qianchi, of course, mainly on her. Licheng City’s number one goddess. Modern patriotic heroine. Magnificent titles were placed upon her head. The photography skills of the reporters were superb, capturing how she scaled a flagpole in a single bound, how she magically rescued an endangered child, and how every moment of her commandeering a vehicle to save it from losing control was shot brilliantly. They even investigated and reported on her time as a Royal Detective in Suri. Numerous media interviewed the family of the rescued child and the family of three from the out-of-control vehicle. Whether prompted by reporters or genuinely from the heart, they all tearfully thanked Gu Jiayin, dramatically calling her a goddess descended to earth. The online buzz continued, climbing incessantly, as waves of people joined the worship brigade, with all sorts of derivative videos, photoshopped images, and cartoon sketches emerging endlessly, all imitating Gu Jiayin’s elegant moves. Gu Jiayin couldn’t help but find it amusing. Just overnight, she went from a woman spat upon by thousands, barely escaping exile from Licheng City, to the number one goddess that everyone was talking about.

In the reports about Gu Jiayin, naturally, there were interwoven reports about Sheng Qianchi, generally praising his noble character, the high status yet heroically self-sacrificing nature. The most notable shift was the disappearance of all comments scolding Gu Jiayin for shamelessly stealing her brother-in-law, replaced by waves of netizens declaring her and Sheng Qianchi a match made in heaven, calling them a modern-day divine couple. Gu Jiayin didn’t know this was the reason for Sheng Qianchi’s joyful mood. Seven years ago, everyone said she and Pei Nianchen were a natural pair. Little did they know how jealous he was. Just because they saved someone from the river yesterday, everyone now says they are a match made in heaven, dispelling the frustration that had festered in his chest for seven years. Compared to Sheng Qianchi’s joy, Gu Jiayin remained calm and dispassionate. After reading the news, she showed no expression, tossing the tablet aside, and headed to the bathroom. She really didn’t care about such fame, good or bad, all ephemeral, she just wanted to find the Blood Tears Jade as soon as possible, to trade for her mother’s freedom. Seeing the woman walk indifferently into the bathroom without a word, the continuously smiling Sheng Qianchi couldn’t help but feel disappointed and raised his handsome eyebrows. It’s like sharing some grand happy news with someone, yet that person shows no interest at all, so disappointing. Gu Jiayin entered the bathroom, began brushing her teeth and washing up, and Sheng Qianchi followed to the bathroom door, elegantly leaning against the doorframe, watching her, "Don’t you have anything to say?" "What do you want to hear?" "You’re now Licheng’s number one goddess, radiantly glorious, aren’t you happy?" "I was once Licheng’s number-one socialite too, did you see me happy every day because of this?" Sheng Qianchi was momentarily speechless, thought for a while, too, this woman was cool and aloof, indifferent to a bad reputation, just as detached from a good one. After a moment of silence, he then nonchalantly said, "Something big happened with the Qin Family yesterday. The car Ye Zhilin was in crashed on the rainy road, all three bodyguards perished, and Ye Zhilin was blinded." This was something Gu Jiayin knew long ago, so she showed no wavering expression, "Is that so?" "Hmm." Sheng Qianchi nodded, "What’s more bizarre is that, upon waking, Ye Zhilin went insane." Gu Jiayin paused. She had used infrared to blind Ye Zhilin, but didn’t expect her to go insane. Could it be that last night, she mistook her for her mother’s ghost coming for revenge, scaring her insane? Sheng Qianchi kept a tight lock on Gu Jiayin’s face, not missing her slightest expression. About the micro infrared weapon she used last night, he had many thoughts, suddenly feeling she had many secrets unknown to him. Was she really just a Royal Detective for a few years and that simple?
