402 Living in Memory 5 (1/2)
The box tipped, and its contents spilled out. Cheng Qingchong used the bedside table to steady her balance and apologized to Qin Yinan. ”I'm sorry, Mr. Qin.”
”It's okay.” Qin Yinan smiled gently at Cheng Qingchong before turning his gaze to her ankles. ”Are you hurt?”
Cheng Qingchong shook her head and rushed over to clear away the mess that had fallen all over the bed. Qin Yinan, the gentleman that he was, helped her out.
They were all trinkets of a girl; there were cards, stickers, and a perfectly preserved teddy-bear shaped eraser.
Qin Yinan and Cheng Qingchong quickly cleared half of the stuff away. When Qin Yinan reached for a card that had fallen beside his arm, his motion suddenly paused.
This card looks so familiar.
Cheng Qingchong had been watching Qin Yinan out of the corner of her eyes. When she noticed the shock in Qin Yinan's eyes, she knew she had accomplished the third order given by her boss.
Her boss had told her on the phone, the first thing she needed to do after sending him to the hospital was to drive to his house and grab this box that was hidden in Song Qingchun's make-up table. After Song Qingchun left, she was to pretend that she had found this box that was 'left behind' by Song Qingchun and bring it to Qin Yinan.
Yes… Qin Yinan… Big Boss repeated that name thrice that night and reminded her that, no matter what, she had to make sure Qin Yinan discovered the cards inside.
Probably realizing he had been dazed for too long, Qin Yinan immediately tossed the card inside the box and continued to help Cheng Qingchong clear away the mess. However, he soon discovered a few more cards that he could recognize.
When the last card was placed inside the box, Cheng Qingchong closed the lid and placed the box on the bedside table that she knew was within Qin Yinan's reach. Then, she bade him farewell.
