Chapter 9

When she was younger, an IQ above 140 earned He Qingyue various titles of genius. At the age of 15, she passed level 10 in piano, and by 18, she was proficient in several languages including English, French, German, and Spanish. In the same year, three of her oil paintings were collected by the Louvre Museum, not to mention her titles as a Cambridge prodigy and a Harvard elite.

After a long time, Fu Qingyun finally opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "No news yet?"

At this moment, both individuals wore expressions of sorrow; although they forced smiles, a subtle sadness lingered, refusing to dissipate

Fu Qingyun had just disembarked from the plane, and outside the airport, countless individuals in black were already waiting. The unpretentious arrangement concealed the most stringent precautions. In front of an inconspicuous black Mercedes stood two women. One was Fu Qingyun's wife, Li Qingxia, and the other was He Qingyue, the daughter of the wealthy He family from Macau, who were long-time family friends.

Fu Qingyun not only has long-term concerns but also immediate worries. His return this time is specifically to handle certain matters

He Qingyue returned to her small attic in Taiyuan, her expression filled with indescribable sadness as she gazed blankly at the jade Buddha that Fu Qianjun had given her

Fu Qingyun felt somewhat annoyed by his wife's tears, and even though he held a high position, matters concerning his son were still somewhat chaotic

Although she is the daughter of another prominent family, He Qingyue has felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to Taiyuan since childhood. It is not due to their families' connections, but solely because of him

As she reminisced about the many enjoyable moments of her childhood, a warm current flowed through He Qingyue's heart

Fu Qingyun approached the two women, and Li Qingxia quietly stepped forward, speaking softly: "You must be tired. Quickly sit in the car and take a rest."

Heroes cherish heroes, and Fu Qingyun's father-in-law and his father ultimately became close friends, while their children fell in love at first sight and formed a union.

At that time, her father took her to participate in a social salon in the United Kingdom, where a farcical scene unfolded in which one of the most outstanding modern sculptors desperately sought to take Qingyue as his apprentice

In the Fu family, apart from Fu Qingyun, the father of Fu Qianjun, who is like a transcendent figure, and his father-in-law, the only one who dares to speak loudly in front of him is the fearless young master, Fu Qianjun, who attempts to surpass his father's achievements

In fact, apart from the heir of the Fu family, He Qingyue does not show any favor to any man. She is always the goddess standing on the clouds, and only those of true imperial stature can pluck this flower. The heir of the Fu family is the emperor of He Qingyue.

Only the Prince of the Fu family, who is adored by millions, would dare to possess such a woman. This is because he himself is a super figure of astonishing power.

Li Qingxia is elegant and regal, with a myriad of postures. Although she is over fifty, she resembles He Qingyue as if they were sisters. Beneath her gentle visage lies a subtle authority, sacred and inviolable.

Delicate brows resemble autumn waters, and the jade-like skin is accompanied by a gentle breeze. Such beauty, captivating a nation and a city, is nothing more than this

The Macao underworld figure, Fu Qingyun, aged fifty-three, currently serves as the Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee. He enjoys a treatment equivalent to that of a deputy national leader

When Qianjun went missing, the father only said: "Let Qianjun go and fight in the vast sky! Necessary trials will help him grow faster"

The discussions yielded little progress aside from increasing the number of people involved in the search. The couple, Fu Qingyun and his wife, were also quite troubled. After discussing the details and finalizing the arrangements, the group dispersed to rest.

However, Fu Qingyun had heard many grand achievements of his father from his mother. It was said that his father possessed supreme power, almost akin to controlling the economic lifeline of the world. If possible, his father could even overturn the regime of the most powerful empire

He Qingyue, since childhood, has been betrothed to the prince of the Fu family, growing up in the Fu family and serving as the fiancée of the prince.

Without the sun, the moon will also lose its radiance

Becoming a vice-state-level figure with real power in the Republic at the age of fifty-three cannot simply be described as "not simple." After his father withdrew from worldly affairs, Fu Qingyun had already become the actual flagbearer of the Fu family

No. As soon as Li Qingxia heard Fu Qingyun speak, her eyes immediately became red and swollen, yet she held back the tears that were welling up, refusing to let them fall: "The tenth group of people went out to search, but they still haven't found anything. If it weren't for Dad insisting that Qian Jun'er is still alive, I wouldn't have been able to hold on any longer"

In the end, he single-handedly rescued himself from hell, and Qingyue will forever remember how he faced thousands of people without flinching in order to save her. At that moment, He Qingyue was deeply moved, finally realizing that an engagement by proxy is not such a bad thing after all

At the very least, the perspective of adults is correct; they can always see further than oneself

Macau's Fuhua is not only a part of Macau, nor merely within the Republic, but even on a global scale, it exists as a colossal entity that engulfs the heavens. Its long history allows it to remain concealed behind the annals of time, observing the progression of history with a detached gaze

The three individuals were seated in the back of the car. Fu Qingyun rested his hand on his forehead, seemingly in a state of meditation. Li Qingxia furrowed her brows, hesitating to speak. He Qingyue sat properly beside Li Qingyun, feeling anxious, wanting to say something but lacking the courage to do so

In a state of chaotic thoughts, alternating between sadness and joy, He Qingyue stared blankly at the jade Buddha in her hands. Suddenly, she recalled his absence for the past two years, and a wave of sorrow surged within her. Crystal-clear tears streamed down her face, falling drop by drop.

As the conversation continued, she could no longer hold back her tears and began to sob softly

Fu Qingyun nodded slightly and sat down in the unadorned Mercedes-Benz. As the vehicle moved, the interior remained as stable as flat ground; even a cup of water placed inside would not create any ripples.

Those who do not plan for the future will inevitably face immediate troubles

Speaking of childhood, I used to enjoy sticking close to him because he would always protect me, save the good food for me, shield me during fights, and when he couldn't win, he would tell me to run first

Such a vast family can no longer be described in words. With a mere gesture, it can obscure the sky, and with a flick of the hand, it can summon rain. Yet, when it truly wishes to conceal its brilliance, no one can find any trace of it.

The convoy slowly entered the Tai Garden, where preparations had already been made. The steward led a group of people outside to welcome them

Yet, no matter how powerful one may be, there will always be worries

The tenth group sent to search for the Crown Prince has returned empty-handed. After discussing with his family, Fu Qingyun decided to dispatch more personnel to gather information. Fu Qianjun had gone to the southwestern border years ago and has since been untraceable. Fu Qingyun resolved to send someone there to conduct a focused investigation.

Fu Qingyun's wife is named Li Qinghe - Tu - Shuxia, a true princess of noble lineage. Her father is the founding ancestor of a certain island nation (not to be confused with another island nation), who rose from humble beginnings to ultimately become the ruler of the country. This father-in-law, besides being a monarch, wields considerable power on the global stage that cannot be overlooked

Even as a deputy national-level figure, Fu Qingyun still does not know the true extent of his father's formidable power. His father gives him the impression of a transcendent being, indifferent to worldly affairs, standing high above the clouds.

Fu Qingyun and his wife, He Qingyue, got out of the car and walked directly into the main house. Many people were already waiting inside. They were the tenth group sent to search for the whereabouts of the Crown Prince.

Outside the attic, there are small bridges and flowing water, along with peculiar pines and strange rocks

Thinking of the sun in my heart, even the waning moon cannot help but feel flushed, both ashamed and dazed

Many years ago, the Fu family in Macau experienced a decline, but Fu Qingyun's father, with astonishing power, turned the tide and forcefully rescued the crumbling mansion from the brink of death

Fu Qingyun trusts his father. Although he experienced a rebellious phase in his youth, he must admit that his father has almost never made a mistake. Even when the Fu family faces the greatest storms, it has never caused his father to furrow his brow.

In all these respects, one is truly worthy of the name of a genius under the moonlit sky

Yet no one dares to ignore the power of this giant beast. When the day comes that it truly opens its fearsome maw, it will undoubtedly shake the heavens and the earth, turning rivers upside down.

However, very few people can ever know that even in the eyes of the genius He Qingyue, there exists someone whom she admires deeply and is willing to be a little woman for. He Qingyue is the moon, and he is the sun. The sun is always more dazzling and greater than the moon. The moon exists solely to convey the brilliance of the sun to the earth in the darkness.

Fu Jia's heir, Fu Qianjun, has been missing for two years, and there has been no news; even Fu Qingyun does not know what has happened to his son. Over these two years, the entire family's life has been completely disrupted. If it were not for the fact that his father remains calm and unhurried, even Fu Qingyun would find it difficult to stay composed.

Even someone as formidable as Fu Qingyun cannot help but gaze at his father with a look of reverence. However, there is one peculiar point: his father does not share the surname Fu, but rather Liu. To this day, Fu Qingyun remains unaware of the reason behind this.

It is somewhat amusing to recall that I once went through a rebellious phase. Out of disdain for my parents' arranged marriage, I fancied that I could simply find a man and escape, using my own preferred method to resist my parents' authoritarianism. However, the reality ultimately proved that this was nothing more than a self-indulgent fantasy. Because of this mistake, I nearly fell into a den of thieves and was almost caught.

This family is destined to be filled with endless glory

If one word were to be used to describe her, it would be perfection. It is hard to imagine any man being able to possess this woman. She is entirely a luxury that should not be monopolized by anyone; any man's claim over her would be a disrespect to the Creator

A plane flying from Beijing to Macau slowly landed at the international airport. Amidst the crowd, a man dressed in black walked down the aircraft. He did not take a private jet home; apart from the bodyguards in the shadows, he appeared just like an ordinary person

He Qingyue beside me had a subtle expression of sorrow in her eyes, yet it could not conceal her unparalleled beauty.
