Chapter 42: 1.2.5: Must Quit

"Little girl!" Ni Ming's dramatically gasped. Her playful eyes were still evident despite her dramatized behavior. "You're awake!"

Wang Yaowan released Xiao Yunhua from his hug and Ni Ming immediately replaced him with hugging her. Her nature was more gentle than Wang Yaowan.

"Ni Ming..." Xiao Yunhua whispered with fresh tears filling her eyes, "I'm so sorry. I deeply feel remorseful because I ruined your wedding..."

"Unintentionally!" Ni Ming interrupted. One of her hands clenched into a fist and she raised it in the air. "Why, if I find out who had the gall to try to murder you, I'll—"

"Murder?" This was only a fact that she knew, how they did find out?

"Yes! The entire area was reserved for the wedding, but suddenly, a car directly aimed for you!" Ni Ming explained. "In fact, the car didn't even have a license plate either, at least according to the surveillance cameras."

What kind of a gang had Kang Yiyi gotten herself into?

She shivered for in sympathy for the girl, but Ni Ming interpreted her shiver as her own fear. "There, there. Yaowan and I have talked... Yunhua, it's best if you don't do any performances any more."

"Why!?" Once she felt better, she could continue. Even though she originally the job started as a way of getting the attention of her target, over the years, it grew to be something she enjoyed. Not many would say her profession was exactly 'clean', but only Xiao Yunhua knew that she wasn't doing anything unethical. All she did was sing and look beautiful. Yes, that was mainly the reason she was so disappointed. She looked beautifully glamorous on her platform.

"Because we have deducted that it was most likely due to being the popular entertainer that someone wanted to murder you. Quitting is the only way to keep you safe."

"But they don't know—" her mask. That was a big giveaway as she wore it at the wedding. Since the two didn't see the truth like she did, of course they would assume that it was most likely that case. In fact, if Xiao Yunhua hadn't seen that scene, then she would believe that as well.

"I... understand." Hesitantly, all Xiao Yunhua could do was agree. Even if she did go back, Kang Yiyi would've most likely exposed her identity. Her element of 'mystery' would've no longer been retained and she would've been just another entertainer, meaning her mask would've become completely unnecessary.

"Good girl!" Ni Ming complimented, almost like she was treating Xiao Yunhua like a child. Which for as long as they've known each other, the woman had. And even though Xiao Yunhua didn't like it when others did so, she didn't mind if Ni Ming was doing it. The woman was one of her benefactors.

Suddenly, Ni Ming released Xiao Yunhua from her hug and walked towards Wang Yaowan. She whispered something in his ear and they both began to scrutinize her deeply.

A few seconds later, Wang Yaowan nodded.

"I told you!" Ni Ming exclaimed, "She looks so different! It's impossible yet in her case, completely possible."

"Yunhua, are you our Yunhua? Or did aliens take over?" Seeing the cold Wang Yaowan try to crack a joke, both women rolled their eyes and his ears turned red.

"I'm definitely Yunhua." Xiao Yunhua stated confidently. The two looked relieved until she uttered her next words, "But I've lied about one thing..."
