Chapter 91 - They Were Caught (1) (2/2)

Qian Meigui was puzzled, why was Yu Qingge looking at her as if she was snickering at her? She figured that she was here to pay respects to her former boss, but the fact that she looked at her persistently made her feel uncomfortable.

Qian Meigui decided to focus on Song Sheng. His face was firm and cold as he focused on the service. But every time she glanced up, Yu Qingge was already looking at her. She felt the urge to hold Song Sheng's hand, but she instead, clenched her fingers into fists.

After the funeral was over, everyone was on their way to the main house for some light snacks and reunions. Qian Meigui and Song Sheng walked behind everyone. Song Sheng kept his hand in his pocket, when he took it out, brushing his fingers against Qian Meigui's as they kept it to their sides. Qian Meigui desperately wanted to hold them, but with the people around, she couldn't. Especially since Yu Qingge kept glancing behind her, watching them like a hawk.

Qian Meigui's heart raced nervously. Does she know something? Why does she keep watching them?

They arrived at the main house when friends came to express their condolences. Qian Meigui stood next to Song Sheng the entire time, but she decided to eat something as she felt like she hasn't eaten all day. She also grabbed a plate for Song Sheng.

From the snack table, she watched as Yu Qingge approached Song Sheng with a silverware smile. She spoke to him shortly before she turned and walked towards her.

”My condolences to you and your family,” she said as she blocked Qian Meigui from going back to Song Sheng. Qian Meigui paused. ”Thank you,” she managed to spew.

Yu Qingge offered her a fake smile. She gently grabbed Qian Meigui's forearm as her hands held the plates of food. She then leaned into her ear. ”I know you're with him,” she said. Qian Meigui began to tremble. Her heart nearly stopped. She knitted her brows, meeting Yu Qingge's playful stare as she stepped away from her. Qian Meigui pretended that she didn't know what she was talking about.

Yu Qingge then passed her a closed envelope, placing it in her pocket without saying another word. She then smiled at Qian Meigui once before she turned her heel to leave the house. Once she was out of sight, Qian Meigui exhaled deeply. It felt as if she couldn't breathe when she was speaking to her. But she couldn't help but still feel uneasy.

With the plates in hand, she approached Song Sheng, and they began to eat. After the service was over, everyone went home. Qian Meigui drove them back to his apartment.

She decided to stay over, hopefully unnoticed. Song Rui is the only one that knows their relationship, but even he wasn't entirely for it, and she wasn't sure why.

Song Sheng hopped into the shower on his own. Qian Meigui dressed for bed when she decided to reach for the envelope in her pocket. She heard the shower rain against the granite flooring when she opened the envelope.

Her heart began to pound furiously, her hands shook. As she pulled out what was in the envelope, it was a printed photo. Her eyes darted all over the picture, her heart skipping beats. They were caught.
