Qiao Yue chuckled. “I’m just kidding. Have fun. It’s rare to get a break, so have fun for a few days. Oh right, stop the investigation I asked before. Take YQ along for a holiday and have Chen Qing reimburse you.”

A sudden scream came through the phone.

“Boss! Are you serious? You’re giving us vacation and asking us to go for a holiday?”

Hearing that Chu Jia’s side had quieted down, Qiao Yue suddenly had an evil thought but did not reply immediately.

As time passed, it felt as if Chu Jia and the others’ hearts were already in their throats. Qiao Yue then said, “Yes. I’ll cover the expenses for the entire trip.”

This time, there were even more ear-piercing screams, and it was not just one person.

People on the other end of the phone were all overjoyed except Chu Jia, who remained a little sober.

“Boss, what about the Trand mission? Godfather will be angry at our failed mission, right?”

Qiao Yue was calm as she replied, “It’s fine. After the last assassination attempt, Trand will be even more vigilant. Even if we try again soon, we will not succeed. So don’t worry and go have fun!”

After getting Qiao Yue’s affirmation, Chu Jia sent Qiao Yue a loud flying kiss through the phone, causing the others to burst into laughter.

After hanging up, Qiao Yue looked at the photo on the laptop and fell into a daze.

It was a photo of her mother, a very beautiful woman. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her face was like a hibiscus, and stars seemed to be shining in her eyes.

Qiao Yue really hadn’t seen her mother for a long time. She still remembered that before her mother passed, she held her hand and told her to live well. If she had a chance, she should go back to the Qiao family to fulfill her filial duties.

Memories flooded her mind when she saw her mother’s photo. Qiao Yue only felt that her eyes were burning.

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Yue saved the photo on her phone and set it as wallpaper. Her mother had so many secrets. She probably had more than one unfulfilled wish! As her daughter, she must help her fulfill these wishes.

The matter about her mother made Qiao Yue’s heart heavy. She went for a walk alone in the garden within the Qiao property.

When she was in the organization, morning run, night run and boxing were compulsory training every day. But ever since she went to the mountain village and later to the Qiao residence, she gradually stopped doing these things. When she stopped doing these things, she realized that it was really a blessing to not be so tense!

Qiao Jing finished his work and was looking out the window to rest his eyes when he accidentally saw Qiao Yue taking a walk.

The young man’s slender figure seemed particularly thin in the night. The night wind ruffled his hair, revealing his delicate side profile. His steps were leisurely, rhythmically stepping on the cobblestone, making it a pleasure just to watch him.

After watching Qiao Yue for a while, Qiao Jing also had the urge to go down for a walk.

Qiao Yue was about to go upstairs when she saw Qiao Jing standing at the back door. It looked like he had just come down.

“Second brother? Why are your downstairs? Have you finished your work?” Qiao Yue asked.

Qiao Jing was a really busy man. Other than the day he took her to the club, he was always at work, so Qiao Yue was very surprised to see him in the garden.

Qiao Jing nodded and walked up to Qiao Yue, looking like he wanted to go for a walk with him.

Qiao Yue glanced at the person next to her and swallowed her words about going to bed.

Since she arrived at the Qiao residence, Qiao Jing had taken care of her. She should also take care of his health and walk with him or something.

Neither of them spoke; they just walked quietly until the sudden sound of fireworks broke the silence.

The fireworks lit up the entire night sky. Qiao Yue stopped and asked, “Is it some festival today?”

Qiao Jing also stopped in his tracks and looked up at the night sky. After a few seconds of contemplation, he replied, “It’s not a special day. It’s probably because someone wanted to set off fireworks!”

Qiao Yue chuckled before he continued, “When I was young, I looked forward to fireworks the most. Not only were they beautiful, but they also signified that a festival was near. It’s not like now when people could just set them off whenever they like. It’s not so special anymore.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qiao Jing turned to Qiao Yue and asked, “Do you like fireworks?”

Qiao Yue grunted but didn’t say more. It wasn’t her who liked fireworks but her mother. Her mother said that she liked all the beautiful things in life, so she often told her to face life with eyes that appreciated beauty.
