Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1390 - 801: Return

Yu Hao walked absentmindedly behind Pu Qinghan, passing through this garden. As he went by the rest area, he vaguely saw two people sitting inside that sizable area.

Amidst the graceful potted plants, he couldn’t tell if they were male or female.

But since he knew they were filming a scene here and not coming over to watch, it seemed their own qualities were rather high. It was uncertain whether they were his fans or Pu Qinghan’s fans...

As the film crew passed by the outside of the rest area along the path, through the large glass window, several formally dressed high-level personnel from the scenic area quickly walked into that rest area...

A group of people exited the scenic building, and as soon as they stepped outside, they heard the loud cheers from the fans, especially when Pu Qinghan went out.

The whole scenic area seemed to be shaking.

A large number of fans were surrounded outside by security, while inside, the tourists were crowding around taking pictures...

Before stepping out, Yu Hao adjusted his expression, revealing his trademark smile, and like other stars in the crew, he used extraordinary charm to greet these fans.

Of course, a large portion of them were Pu Qinghan’s fans, shouting her name overwhelmingly...

And the tourists were extremely excited as well.

Yu Hao instinctively turned his head to look at Pu Qinghan’s face, only to see her delicate, youthful, and beautiful face, more youthful and beautiful than that of an eighteen-year-old girl, adorned with the usual elegant and gentle smile. Her glance was full of openness and composure, and she gracefully waved her hand. Suddenly, she looked up at the sky.

"It’s raining."

It was indeed raining. The originally sunny weather inexplicably brought a drizzling rain.

The misty fine rain matched the characteristics of spring rain, like fog that has liquefied, filled with a sense of haziness... but for most men, this rather meant inconvenience.

Wetness was not welcome.

The crew had to speed up their departure, and many tourists also had to hold umbrellas or seek shelter under the eaves, with only one exception... Pu Qinghan raised her hand, her slender fingers touching the soft, wet spring rain.

In places where most could not see, she showed a hint of weariness and melancholy.

It was spring rain again, another year.

Just then, the gate of the scenic area suddenly opened, and the fans were dispersed.

Because several cars were driving slowly from outside in the misty rain, stopping in front of the scenic area amidst murmurs and reluctance from the fans.

The cars were high-end, luxury ones, with particularly impressive license plates.

Those with keen eyes knew that the arriving individuals were extraordinary, and as the car doors opened, a man got out, tall and handsome, dressed in a suit. He appeared from the side view to be an extremely stern and business-spirited successful man, of high status and with remarkable demeanor.

Distinctively somber compared to those male celebrities.

When other men, also possessing elite aura and dressed in Armani or various designer suits, got out of the car.

Including bodyguards.

Black umbrellas opened simultaneously.

Those who were initially cursing fell silent.

The film crew, which originally had a considerable background, was also unwilling to clash with this group, not only because harmony brings wealth, but also because they recognized who the man was.

Paparazzi who were initially filming Pu Qinghan were stunned upon seeing this man’s appearance.

"It’s him!"

"Why is he here?"

"Seems like he’s negotiating a takeover project in Jiangnan recently..."

"Could it be for Pu..."

Amidst all the speculation.

Many looked at Pu Qinghan, but saw the empress, who always showed no emotions, displaying shock, hope, excitement, and various emotions on her face at this moment...

And at this time.

The man who got off the car didn’t care about his body being wetted by the fine rain. He quickly walked towards the reception area...

Just as he approached the glass door, he suddenly stopped.

Those who acted might clearly perceive that the person was internally struggling at the time.

Joy, worry, fear...

So he paused, looked up at the door.

Raindrops fell on his long eyelashes, and people behind caught up to him, holding an umbrella...

The glass door happened to be pushed open.

Between sunlight and rain, between inside and outside, a man faced another man in surprise, stepping aside to reveal the person behind.

This person placed a hand against the glass door, stepped out onto the steps, looking down.

His gaze fell on him, from face to clothes...

Finally, it froze.

A faint smile.

"Ah Nan... you’ve grown up."

After a decade, the restless youth burdened with complex familial emotions and unable to find a way forward finally met the person he always placed on a high pedestal, unreachable, because the clouds were too high, they were bound to drift away.

Drifting for a decade.

Ten years later, things changed, yet she remained the same... her smile remained as serene as ever, her appearance slightly changed, but still... captivating, impossible to look away.

Ye Chunan, you’ve grown up.

Ye Chunan withdrew the warmth from his pupils, pursing his lips, taking the umbrella from the person next to him, slowly ascending the steps, placing the umbrella over Sui Yi’s head.

"It’s me who has aged, sister."

This word "sister" caused many to change color in surprise.

Even though the people in the scenic area were very polite to Sui Yi due to connections from Lin Yun’s side, Sui Yi wasn’t the type to cause trouble, not demanding much regarding clothing or items, even politely declining when the other side wanted to host a grand banquet to welcome her.

This attitude left the people in the scenic area puzzled about her identity.

However, when Sui Yi and Wang Qing were leaving, several high-level personnel from the scenic area rushed over.

They had to arrive before the people from Sui Tang Square.

This is the etiquette.

But upon arriving, they still didn’t know each other’s identity, nor did they know why. They didn’t dare to ask much and could only exchange a few casual words, then...

Ye Chunan arrived.

For the general manager of the scenic area, upon seeing Ye Chunan standing at the bottom of the steps, his first reaction was that perhaps one of those two stunning women inside was the vermilion mark of this newly established tycoon’s heart.

But it seemed that such women were unlikely to be any man’s intimate confidante.

They were too outstanding, not in appearance, but in aura.

Having seen many noble families and various exceptional people, he had never felt as uneasy and restrained as today.

Yet it was unexpected...

An older sister?

Ye Chunan has an older sister?

No, right.

An only child.

The entire country knows that apart from a few shares held by the heirs of wealthy families, Sui Tang Square is mainly managed by two people, one being Lin Yun, and the other Ye Chunan. The former is responsible for the domestic market, while the latter manages international affairs. Currently, there is an investment chain tied to Jiangnan City’s cultural industry, prompting his return from abroad to Jiangnan...

Yet unexpectedly, before finishing matters in Jiangnan, he came here.

Sister.

Actually, he does have a sister.

A cousin.

The owner of the Sui Tang Group, regarded as a commercial miracle, even after leaving for ten years, made subordinates and collaborators willingly guard this enormous enterprise and expand it crazily...

Almost as if she were always alive.

Causing fear, gaining respect, and making others not dare to block her path...

It turns out she is indeed still alive.

And even more legendary than the rumors.

After Ye Chunan uttered this, Sui Yi was somewhat surprised and then softly said, "You never used to call me that way, seems you’ve really grown up."

Having said that, Sui Yi stepped past Ye Chunan, reached out for an umbrella held by a bodyguard, walked through the gentle rain, and arrived in front of Pu Qinghan.

"Earlier I saw you filming, didn’t want to disturb you, so I didn’t show up... The dampness of spring rain isn’t suitable for a long talk either..."

Sui Yi handed the umbrella to Pu Qinghan, saying lightly, "Let’s continue in the Capital City."

Pu Qinghan looked at Sui Yi, with glowing eyes, but kept her gaze on the pale fingers gripping the black umbrella handle, finally uttering words that made all fans restless.

"I don’t seem to have ever learned how to refuse you..."

If before, she looked at Sui Yi with hopeful anxiety, much like a schoolchild looking up at the principal, hoping for praise yet fearing wrongdoing.

Then now...

She had grown up, matured, and succeeded.

Why succeed?

Only because the next meeting would not show her humility.

Outstanding people don’t always have outstanding friends, but those who stay till the end... must be sufficiently outstanding.

So she gracefully accepted the umbrella and smiled brightly at Sui Yi, "But... see you in the Capital City."

Sui Yi was taken aback, then chuckled, nodded slightly to the rest of the crew, and turned to leave.

The misty drizzle only amplified her casual grace.

Like an enchanting fairy.

Especially when she walked past that glass door, stopped, and looked inside.

"Is there actually someone inside worth your attention?"

Who was inside the door?

Wang Qing stepped out, stood on the steps, and passed by Ye Chunan, exuding a chilling and exquisite aura.

"Just found the clothing somewhat interesting."

After stepping down, she turned her face, her gaze swept over Pu Qinghan and others, extended her hand, "And this bird."

A bird with golden wings, resembling a crow but with feathers as ravishing as gold, so beautiful, so bewitching. After landing, it loosened its claws, dropping a sword, which landed on the bandaged hand of Wang Qing.

Wang Qing held the Demon Que, her fingers tracing the patterns on it, watching as the Golden Crow landed on Sui Yi’s shoulder.

"It recognizes me."

The Golden Crow recognized her.

This alone represents something, perhaps Sui Yi’s previous lives...

Believable?

Wang Qing found it peculiar, as she was here for someone else’s future life, yet was intertwined with previous lives.

If fate were so bizarre, how could she just drift along?

"You could think it simply too lazy to fly and unwilling to let me hold it... so... you hold it for me."

Sui Yi seemed to ignore the person’s profound gaze, turned to walk towards a car, and opened the door.

Wang Qing raised an eyebrow, squeezed the Demon Que, and got into the car.

When the car door shut, Pu Qinghan watched the woman, whose chillingly exquisite aura could freeze spring rain, turn her head and look deeply at her...

The gaze somewhat empty.

As if reminiscing something.

Clothing?

Pu Qinghan looked down at her own dashing and magnificent attire.
