Chapter 73

"Accidentally obtaining Xiang Yufei's first kiss, fulfilling the conditions for the passive special mission. Completing the passive mission 'Beauty as Ever,' mission difficulty (special), reward: one lucky draw or the title of First Kiss Collector. Note: Passive special missions exist as additional tasks and do not count towards the total number of missions. Do you want to claim the reward?"

The reward of one lucky draw is like a grand prize! And the title of First Kiss Collector, who knows what it's all about.

Zhang Qiu chose to claim the title of First Kiss Collector. When he looked at the interface again, a golden, shiny title "First Kiss Collector (1/10)" appeared after his ID. The number behind it clearly indicated that collecting ten first kisses would upgrade the title.

As for what the title does, it's currently unknown. There's no manual, and he hasn't felt any changes.

As for the lucky draw, Zhang Qiu didn't claim it for the time being. This unexpected gain improved Zhang Qiu's mood quite a bit. Plus, he unexpectedly obtained Xiang Yufei's first kiss, so he found her more tolerable and no longer blamed her for being kind and weak.

He didn't expect that Xiang Yufei had been in a relationship before, yet her first kiss was still intact. It was clear how much she valued herself. Zhang Qiu suddenly felt that he could no longer treat Xiang Yufei calmly; this was the power of a first kiss.

However, regarding what Xiang Yufei said, he still found it hard to understand and unbelievable, so he said, "You don't have to do this! You said you were borrowing money from me, not selling yourself to me."

"You don't have to persuade me. I've made up my mind, and I'm not just being impulsive. In short, I don't regret it. Some kindness can't be repaid with money. Maybe this way, I'll feel better. You've done too much for me, and our relationship doesn't deserve it. If not, I'll feel like I owe you for life, and the pressure will be even greater!" Xiang Yufei expressed her inner feelings.

Zhang Qiu paused and said, "Hehe, if you insist on repaying me with your body, then you don't have to pay the money back. That's how it should be! How can you repay me with your body and still pay the money? This puts me under a lot of pressure too!"

"If you say that, it's like giving me the 200,000 yuan for free. So the 200,000 yuan is my money, and I use my money to repay you. How can you still have complaints?" Xiang Yufei said teasingly.

With just that sentence, her aura suddenly changed, as if she had come out of her gloom. Zhang Qiu felt that the bold girl who dared to tease him was back.

"Uh..." Xiang Yufei's thinking was really jumping, but saying it like that really made it seem like Zhang Qiu was being teased. After all, she had always been the one taking the initiative. If Zhang Qiu thought that she didn't have to pay the money back after giving her body, then Xiang Yufei could also think that continuing to pay the money was teasing Zhang Qiu. So Zhang Qiu was teased!

"Alright! Now you're mine. Stop talking nonsense! Let's go out quickly! I won't feel at ease until this matter is resolved." Xiang Yufei said.

"Okay." Zhang Qiu nodded. This matter had been dragged on for too long and needed to be resolved quickly.

They went out to get the money and met Xiang Yufei's father at a designated location. Just as they arrived, He Qing called, saying she had contacted a lawyer surnamed Li.

After hanging up, Lawyer Li contacted Zhang Qiu. They agreed on a meeting place, and Zhang Qiu hung up.

Soon, they saw Xiang Yufei's father, who still looked down and out, but his expression had become much colder, and his eyes were hollow and lifeless, like a soulless zombie.

"200,000 yuan! Remember, no backing out!" he said casually.

Xiang Yufei glared at him and said coldly, "Don't worry! As long as you keep your word, you'll get your money!" Xiang Yufei had already transferred the money to her bank card and withdrawn it, putting it in a bag.

With Zhang Qiu there, she wasn't afraid of being robbed.

The three of them went to the high-end coffee shop where they had agreed to meet the lawyer. The lawyer was already waiting in a private room.

After meeting, the lawyer asked about the situation and then said, "In your case, there's no need to continue the father-daughter relationship. Since you've already reached an agreement, you can sign a contract, which will be kept at our law firm. If there are any disputes in the future, this will serve as evidence. Think carefully, once this contract is signed, it will have legal effect, and your father-daughter relationship will be officially severed!"

"Okay. I've thought it through!" Xiang Yufei nodded. Her father also said, "Give me the money, and I'll sign."

"Then write a receipt, indicating that you have received the agreed amount." Lawyer Li said.

It seemed that before coming, he had already learned the basic situation from He Qing and made preparations. Whether it was the contract to sever the father-daughter relationship or the receipt, everything was ready.

After everything was signed, Xiang Yufei handed the money to her father. He was overjoyed, counted the money, and confirmed that most of it was real before zipping up the bag.

"Alright! Young man, from now on, my daughter is yours, do whatever you want with her! I'll leave Suzhou City today!" he said.

"Wait, what about the household registration?" Zhang Qiu said.

"The household registration can't be processed in a day! Besides, if it's just a separate household, there's no need for me to be involved anymore." Xiang Yufei's father said.

"If you want to separate the household registration, my law firm can handle it." Lawyer Li said.

With Lawyer Li's confirmation, Zhang Qiu waved his hand and said, "Alright, get lost!"

Xiang Yufei's father scurried out of the private room. At that moment, Xiang Yufei suddenly let out a long sigh, her whole body relaxing as if she had shed a heavy burden.

This matter was finally settled.

"Do you have time to go to my law firm? Separating the household registration requires more documents." Lawyer Li asked.

"Okay." Zhang Qiu nodded, then looked at Xiang Yufei, who also nodded.

When they arrived at Lawyer Li's office, Lawyer Li said to Zhang Qiu and Xiang Yufei, "This contract actually has no legal effect. However, it has a certain moral constraint. I believe you have already learned this from Officer He."

Zhang Qiu and Xiang Yufei nodded. Lawyer Li continued, "So, saying it has legal effect earlier was to deceive the other party. I hope you can understand."

"Okay, I know that." Xiang Yufei nodded. She had nodded so readily because she had thought of this point.

"Separating the household registration is simple. As long as you can prove economic independence, you can separate the household, regardless of whether you have independent property. If you have independent property, it's even easier." Lawyer Li said.

"However, our house is long gone. The household registration has always been there, but the house belongs to someone else now." Xiang Yufei said, "It was sold many years ago, and we have never had our own house."

"In that case, you need to have a house to separate the household registration. Since the property on which the household registration is based no longer belongs to you, if you don't move it, no one will care. But if you want to move it, you must provide new property proof." Lawyer Li said.

"Damn!" Zhang Qiu cursed again. This was too frustrating. He didn't expect to encounter another obstacle at this final step.

With Zhang Qiu's curse, Xiang Yufei couldn't help but cry. She thought she could finally be free, but now there was such a big problem.

Maybe she shouldn't have given him the 200,000 yuan. She could have used it as a down payment to buy a house.

Selling herself for a house didn't seem like a bad deal; many girls chose this path. However, Xiang Yufei felt a bit helpless and regretted not listening to Zhang Qiu's advice. But since she had done it, she had to accept it. Regret wouldn't solve any problems, so she steeled her resolve and stopped crying.

"Don't cry! I'll buy you a house!" Zhang Qiu said.

Lawyer Li couldn't help but look at Zhang Qiu in surprise, not expecting him to speak so confidently and boldly, offering a house so easily.

At that moment, in Lawyer Li's eyes, Zhang Qiu became a domineering rich second generation.

"Let's talk about it later." Xiang Yufei fell silent again, looking downcast, which made Zhang Qiu feel heartache.

"Lawyer Li, thank you! I'll come back to see you. Let's part ways for today." Xiang Yufei said.

After leaving the law firm, Xiang Yufei cried on Zhang Qiu's shoulder again, "Why is my life so hard... sniff..."

Zhang Qiu gently patted her back to comfort her, but this drew disapproving glances from passersby. Making such a beautiful girl cry, this man was truly despicable!

Many people wished they could shout, "Let go of that girl, let me take her! Girl, don't cry, I'll take care of you!"

Zhang Qiu was also a bit helpless. After taking Xiang Yufei home and comforting her to sleep, he did some housework. Looking at the food supplies in the kitchen, Zhang Qiu decided to go out to buy groceries and cook for Xiang Yufei, taking good care of her for the day.

At the market, he suddenly heard a vegetable vendor talking to a few housewives, "Unbelievable! Suzhou City has big news too, a knife attack at the train station, one dead and five injured! Look, this is the latest news on Weibo."

The housewives gathered around and indeed looked scared, then said, "How can there be such a vicious person!"

Zhang Qiu, with his sharp hearing, couldn't help but sigh, "Things are not peaceful recently."

Since he hadn't bought groceries often, he took nearly an hour to pick out what to buy. By the time he got home, Xiang Yufei had already woken up and was about to turn on the TV.

As soon as she saw Zhang Qiu come back, she immediately went to take the things from his hands. The TV turned on, and it was the local news on Suzhou TV: "Today, an emergency incident occurred at Suzhou Train Station, resulting in one death and five injuries. The police arrived in time and subdued the attacker..."

Their attention was immediately drawn to the TV, and they heard, "According to the investigation, this incident is not related to terrorism. It was caused by a robbery. A passenger carrying 200,000 yuan in cash was followed by a robber..."

"The robber fought with the passenger during the robbery, and with the support of热心市民, the robber panicked and took out a knife, starting to attack people. The passenger was the first to be attacked, his throat cut, and he died on the spot. Five other热心市民were also injured..."

Seeing this, Zhang Qiu and Xiang Yufei looked at each other, stunned. Both of them had the same thought: "Could it be that coincidental?"

At this moment, the TV showed a picture of the victim. "The identity of the victim is still being confirmed. The 200,000 yuan in cash he carried was not looted, and the police have recovered it all as evidence. If the victim's identity is confirmed, his family will be found, and the money will be returned."

Seeing this, the two of them were almost certain it was the person they had thought of. They didn't expect that this long-standing problem would end in such a way; the person who had brought nightmares to Xiang Yufei was now dead.

This outcome was truly laughable and cryable, and they couldn't help but marvel at the unpredictability of fate. (To be continued.)
