Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 148 - 149: The Fairy in the Blue Mist

The sound was like a wisp of mysterious ripple, suddenly dissipating into the air, too quickly to capture.

She instinctively turned her head to look, only to see the long, narrow stage stairs winding through the darkness, leading to an unknown dark blue mist at the end. She guessed it was probably a stage effect light forgotten to be turned off by the staff, the smoke spreading as if it had life.

Everything in the mist was faintly discernible, and suddenly, she heard a slight sound again.

This time she heard it distinctly, it was a cat meowing!

There’s a cat near the stage!

"Meow—" Another sound, winding and lingering, enchanting and lazy.

A small black cat with sleek fur emerged from the blue mist, walking gracefully and silently downward. If it weren’t for the drawn-out meows, Su Xingyu wouldn’t have noticed this mesmerizing creature in the darkness at all.

Its tail was held high, conceited, reigning over everything.

Its pair of blue shimmering eyes echoed with the mist behind, alluring the heart.

Su Xingyu held her breath. She had seen many cats in the world, but none so captivating; it was one of a kind. She instinctively reached for the camera in her equipment bag, carefully, afraid of startling it. The cat’s steps paused slightly as her hand touched the camera, flicked its tail, gave her a high-looking glance, and then nonchalantly continued down the stairs.

Su Xingyu inwardly breathed a sigh of luck.

At this moment, she had long thrown the grievances of the previous moment out of her mind, focusing entirely on how to capture this little cat. This little cat seemed to have some mysterious magic, firmly holding her attention. She knew it was an intuition that came from her photographic talent. She and it had a destined encounter here—

She pressed the camera shutter lightly.

Freeze.

The little cat in the photograph walked gracefully, a true catwalk—it gazed at the lens with its blue shimmering eyes, and in the hazy mist, a thin veil gently drifted down from mid-air. The quiet night was in full bloom, everything was scattering, and it stood there arrogantly like a king.

Su Xingyu glanced at the photo, turned off the camera, and when she looked up again, the little cat was gone.

It vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed, leaving her alone in the darkness.

Tap, tap, tap.

The sound of high heels stepping on the ground.

Su Xingyu turned around and saw Su Xingqi walking toward her in a high-end hollow-out outfit, with a victorious smile on her exquisitely made-up face. "Oh, what are you doing here alone?" She glanced at Su Xingyu’s open equipment bag and camera in hand, saying lightly, "The show is over, and you’re still shooting? How pathetic, if you knew today, why bother with the past?"

Su Xingyu frowned. Did she mean something else?

She looked into Su Xingqi’s eyes and asked coldly, "What do you mean?"

"Haha, sister," Su Xingqi laughed, covering her mouth, "No, I shouldn’t call you sister now. I don’t have such a foolish sister, hahaha. You think your lateness this time was accidental? Let me tell you, since you’ve offended me, there’s no way you’ll have a good end. Today’s event is just the beginning. There will be more ’accidents’ to come, and I’ll make sure you disgrace yourself in front of Qin Mu!"

The last few words were said through gritted teeth.

Su Xingqi was unconvinced—

Why was it that even after Su Xingyu had broken up with Qin Mu, Qin Mu’s gaze still often lingered on her?!

After hearing her words, Su Xingyu’s heart skipped a beat violently. What, today’s traffic jam wasn’t an accident? She stared intently at Su Xingqi: "What do you mean? Was the highway accident caused by you? Was it also you who messed with my phone signal?" She couldn’t believe that the Su Xingqi in front of her could do such things. Su Xingqi was just a model. Even if her family background was better than ordinary people, she didn’t have the power or authority to cause a massive highway traffic jam!

Su Xingqi covered her mouth again, laughing: "What do you think?"

Su Xingyu shook her head: "Impossible, even if you could send a few cars to crash and cause an accident, the radio said the nearby base stations were all down! You don’t have the ability to destroy a base station... unless someone is helping you behind the scenes!"

Su Xingqi was startled: "Su Xingyu, you’re not stupid after all."

Indeed, with her ability alone, it was impossible to cause such a massive accident. Someone was secretly guiding and supporting her in opposing Su Xingyu, handling the base station disruption and other matters. And she, only needed to enjoy the thrill of trampling Su Xingyu underfoot. She didn’t know who the mysterious person supporting her was, but regardless of who it was, as long as it was against Su Xingyu, it was good.

Her eyes rolled, filled with smugness: "It was Qin Mu, Qin Mu dislikes you and told me to do it."

A single sentence pierced Su Xingyu’s heart painfully.

She had already broken up with Qin Mu, so why did Qin Mu despise her to this extent?

Did he really leave her with no way out?

She didn’t doubt the truth of what Su Xingqi said because, around Su Xingqi, the only one capable of causing such a massive traffic jam and disrupting the base station was the second son of the Qin Family. Moreover, she couldn’t think of anyone else she had a grudge against other than Qin Mu.

No water can be retrieved once it’s spilt.

Could they not even part amicably?

Her heart ached, yet she tilted her head up, refusing to let Su Xingqi see her distressed look. She looked at Su Xingqi, her voice cold as ice: "I warn you, don’t provoke me any further, or don’t blame me for being merciless."

She fully expected Su Xingqi to retaliate sharply, but unexpectedly, Su Xingqi looked aggrieved: "Su Xingyu, how can you threaten me? I came to see you out of concern, and how can you vent your lateness resentment all on me?"

She froze, before coming back to her senses, hearing a man’s voice behind her: "Xingyu, don’t bully Qiqi!"

She turned around and saw Qin Mu striding towards them.

So that’s how it is.

Su Xingyu’s heart was as clear as a mirror, just moments ago, Su Xingqi had been smugly watching her misfortune, and in an instant, she turned into a pure and innocent white lotus because of this man’s presence. She sneered at Qin Mu: "Qin Mu, you ordered Su Xingqi to cause that traffic jam on purpose to make me late, and now you have the face to say I’m bullying her?!"

Qin Mu frowned: "Xingyu, what are you talking about? How can you blame your lateness on Qiqi and me? I know you’re upset about losing this project, but you can’t just lash out without reason!"

"I’m lashing out?" Su Xingyu was trembling with anger, her blisters from her rubbed feet still faintly aching, "Qin Mu, don’t be a coward who dares not admit it! I never thought you’d be such a despicable person!"

"Qin Mu!" Su Xingqi pleaded hypocritically from the side, "Su Xingyu is angry, let’s leave, don’t argue with her." Her heart was panicking, she never expected Su Xingyu to confront Qin Mu, especially since Qin Mu had no knowledge of the intentional traffic jam. What if her lie was exposed?
