Chapter 2 : Becoming a Wealthy Lady

• Huo Jingran grabbed Ding Ningqiu's wrist tightly. "Woman, I've been looking for you for six years!"
• Ding Ningqiu was stunned.
• Could it be that the owner of this button happened to be Huo Jingran? She had just casually mentioned it!
• "No, no, no, Huo..."
• Before she could finish her sentence, Huo Jingran ordered his subordinates, "Notify Butler Li to gather everyone in the mansion and welcome the lady!"
• Once again, Ding Ningqiu was stunned. Lady?
• She seemed to understand.
• The Rolls-Royce stopped in front of a large villa, and several rows of men and women in uniforms stood on the empty space in front of the door.
• As soon as she got out of the car, everyone bowed, "Young Master, Lady."
• For Ding Ningqiu, this moment felt like a dream. She reached out and touched the necklace around her neck, as if she understood something.
• Soaking in the massage bathtub, enveloped in warmth and comfort, Ding Ningqiu excitedly splashed water.
• At that moment, her phone, which was placed aside, rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Leng Yue.
• After hesitating for two seconds, she answered.
• "Aiqiu, have you seen my necklace?"
• "No." Ding Ningqiu answered without hesitation, "Your necklace is so precious, I dare not touch it."
• "Alright, I'll keep looking."
• Ding Ningqiu nodded, furrowed her brows slightly, then relaxed and raised her voice, "Aiyue, tell Lao Zhang that I'm not doing that damn mission anymore, I'm quitting my job. From today onwards, I have no relationship with the organization. Don't come looking for me, don't disturb me. I just want to live a peaceful and stable life!"
• Before Leng Yue could speak, Ding Ningqiu hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and threw the phone into the bathtub. A smile slowly appeared on her face.
• After taking a bath and putting on the silk pajamas presented by the maid, Ding Ningqiu leaped onto the soft bed.
• This bed was much better than the hard board bed she had slept on in the shabby room before.
• The thought of living in a mansion from now on, with people serving her every need, becoming a wealthy lady, and being able to possess someone as attractive as Huo Jingran, filled Ding Ningqiu with joy.
• After a while, the maid brought a fruit platter, and later, a table full of delicacies. Ding Ningqiu ate until her stomach was bloated.
• Just after finishing the meal, Butler Li led her upstairs. Here, rows of branded clothes were neatly arranged, covering all four seasons with various fashionable styles.
• Shoes filled six shelves, and the wall was adorned with a variety of designer bags, overwhelming her.
• As for lipsticks and cosmetics, they filled another room. After coming out, Ding Ningqiu's legs felt weak.
• The next day, Ding Ningqiu, dressed in branded clothes, accompanied by bodyguards, left the house and arrived at the busiest commercial building in Jiangling.
• The black card gifted by Huo Jingran allowed her to go on a crazy shopping spree, with the bodyguards carrying bags of various sizes.
• Sitting in the limited edition Rolls-Royce, Ding Ningqiu wore sunglasses and leaned against the car window, looking outside.
• Suddenly, she saw that western restaurant.
• Accompanied by six black-clad bodyguards, Ding Ningqiu attracted everyone's attention as soon as she entered the restaurant.
• She enjoyed the feeling of being noticed.
• The manager of the western restaurant immediately greeted her with a smile when he saw the entourage. "Miss, please come inside."
• Ding Ningqiu remained silent and walked to a table by the window, tapping her finger on the table.
• A couple who were dining couldn't help but look at Ding Ningqiu with confusion.
• The manager understood Ding Ningqiu's intention and quickly said to the couple, "Sorry, could you please change seats? I'll cover your bill."
• Although the couple were reluctant, they had no choice but to get up and leave, as there were six black-clad bodyguards standing next to Ding Ningqiu.
• Only then did Ding Ningqiu sit down contentedly.
• The manager turned around and waved his hand. "Someone, come and clean up!"
• Leng Yue hurried over, about to bend down and clean up, but Ding Ningqiu took off her sunglasses.
• "Aiqiu?"
• The manager beside her also widened his eyes. "It's you?"
• "Yes, it's me, Manager Xiao." Ding Ningqiu crossed her legs, showing off her new shiny boots.
• "If I remember correctly, you punished me by making me wash two thousand dishes and scolded me, right?"
• "I..." The manager stammered.
• "If you kneel down and slap yourself twice, I'll consider it as if nothing happened." Ding Ningqiu said coldly.
• "Aiqiu?" Leng Yue widened her eyes.
• "Xiaoding, I..."
• "Kneel!" Ding Ningqiu suddenly shouted.
• Under the threat, the manager had no choice but to kneel down and slap himself twice.
• "Very well, you can leave now."
• After the manager left, Ding Ningqiu looked at Leng Yue and said calmly, "Have a seat."
• Leng Yue sat down, her eyes filled with confusion.
• She couldn't believe that her good sister, who had fought side by side with her for eight years, had become so cold and ruthless.
• "Aiqiu, Lao Zhang agreed, but he wants you to keep quiet about certain things. But I want to know, why did you suddenly decide to leave? I called you yesterday, but couldn't reach you." Leng Yue asked.
• "I threw away my phone." Ding Ningqiu looked out the window, occasionally glancing at Leng Yue. "To tell you the truth, I wanted to leave a long time ago. In fact, I am a wealthy lady. I got married a long time ago. I'm sorry, Aiyue, I kept it from you."
• "What are you saying?" Leng Yue was dumbfounded.
• "Now that you've seen it, I don't want to pretend anymore." Ding Ningqiu said coldly, "I should return to my own life. Today, I came to say goodbye to you."
• As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the bodyguards placed the bags on the table.
• "These are gifts for you, consider it a farewell gift between sisters. From now on, you and I will go our separate ways, never to meet again."
• After saying that, Ding Ningqiu put on her sunglasses, and with the black-clad bodyguards, left the western restaurant.
• Back at the villa, Ding Ningqiu carefully examined the necklace in her hand and looked at the button on Huo Jingran's suit. She thought of Xiaoting and Xiaohan.
• Suddenly, she understood something.
• Six years ago, she and Leng Yue participated in Operation X together, going to the Jiangling Hotel to capture the target.
• However, Ding Ningqiu unexpectedly encountered a wealthy and charming young man, and forgot about the mission. When she remembered, it was already the next morning.
• The organization was furious about this and demoted her to the lowest rank, giving her a severe reprimand.
• Leng Yue was also demoted for her negligence, but Ding Ningqiu remembered that Leng Yue discovered she was pregnant two months after Operation X, but she refused to reveal the identity of the child's father.
• Jiangling Hotel was also a property of the Huo Group, and the button on Leng Yue's cherished necklace was identical to the button on Huo Jingran's suit. Could it be that Leng Yue had a night of passion with Huo Jingran that night?
