However, suddenly a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and then the sky seemed to open a hole, and the downpour of rain pillars made the floor-to-ceiling glass windows clang.

The two people who were entangled together on the sofa finally separated.

Mo Kai and Qiao An's foreheads were touching, one had gloomy eyes and the other had a peach-cheeked face. They just stared at each other quietly, as if trying to calm down the unbearable emotions in their hearts.

After a long while, Qiao An said softly, "Why is the weather in Boston always like this recently?"

Mo Kai smoothed her hair and said, "It's autumn. The weather here is usually like this at this time of year."

After he finished speaking, he bent down to pick up the thin blanket on the ground and wrapped Qiao An in it again.

There was a thunderous sound, and Qiao An almost instinctively shrank her body and pressed into Mo Kai's arms.

"Afraid of thunder?" Mo Kai hugged her tightly.

In Mo Kai's mind, Qiao An was so fearless that when did he become afraid of thunder?

Qiao An said nothing.

She was not actually afraid of thunder, but the weather made her uneasy for no reason.

As for the reason, only Qiao An himself knew it. It was simply that he was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Whether it was the night of Mo Kai's accident many years ago, the Gali Port, or the accident on the winding mountain road not long ago, they all happened in similar weather.

What she was afraid of was not this kind of weather, but that this kind of weather would always bring back those dusty horrible memories of hers.

Although Qiao An often reminds herself not to look back and look forward, many times it is inevitable that she will be pulled into the whirlpool of memories.

People may always be like this. The more hard-won happiness they face, the more frightened they become. The slightest disturbance will make her uncontrollably upset.

For example, right now, this night with strong winds and thunderous thunder made her feel confused.

Qiao An snuggled into Mo Kai's arms, her fingers passing through the gaps between his palms and interlocking with him, a reliance she didn't realize she had.

"It's okay, I'm here." As if he could sense her emotions, Mo Kai wrapped his whole hand around her and spoke to comfort her.

His voice seemed to have a healing effect. Qiao An nodded seriously in his arms, although her expression was still not as bright as before.

Mo Kai was keenly aware of her strangeness, "What's wrong?"

"Mo Kai..."

Qiao An whispered his name softly, as if he was hesitating about something.

"Have you forgotten the consensus we just reached?" Mo Kai followed suit.

Qiao An blinked. She knew what Mo Kai meant and wanted to communicate. Instead of guessing, she might as well just ask.

There was something really pressing on her mind, so she no longer hesitated and opened her lips, "Why haven't you seen Assistant Gao recently?"

Gao Yi disappeared when the scandal was at its peak. She never mentioned it, but that doesn't mean she didn't discover it.

The person who followed Mo Kai almost like a shadow suddenly disappeared, which inevitably made her not think too much. And she was also sure that Gao Yi's disappearance at this moment must be related to Wang Qiansheng.

As for Wang Qiansheng, Qiao An naturally couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Mo Kai, how far has your plan progressed?"

Originally, Qiao An didn't plan to ask more about this matter. Firstly, she believed that Mo Kai had his own plan and he must be carrying out it in an orderly manner. Secondly, because Mo Kai didn't say much, he naturally didn't want her to worry, so she was willing to cooperate.

It's just that the weather today was really depressing and unsettling, which aroused her desire to find out.

"Has Special Assistant Gao returned to Cannes?" Qiao An asked again.

Mo Kai didn't appear too surprised when he heard Qiao An's words, and he obviously didn't want to hide anything from her.

He leaned over and picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table, dialed the number in front of Qiao An, and directly chose the public release.

The call was quickly connected, and Gao Yi's voice came through the receiver——
