Xia Changyue had lost her patience with Jiang Mingna, who was blocking her way. She pulled her arm out of her grasp and walked away.

“Xia Changyue, you won’t be happy for too long. Young Master Chi will not let you off…”

Xia Changyue could still hear Jiang Mingna’s shouts, although she had walked some distance away.

She waited for a taxi on the sidewalk with a worried look on her face.

Her fingers dug deep into her palms…

She didn’t need Jiang Mingna to tell her that Yan Chengchi would not let her off smoothly. She already knew that.

She was out for the whole day. Given Yan Chengchi’s weird temperament, when he found out she wasn’t home at the time he went back, he wouldn’t just let this slide.

Xia Changyue took a look at her watch when the taxi stopped at the gate of the villa.

The time was 8:15pm.

Her heart rate increased when she saw the brightly-lit living room.

She was too nervous to even start walking when she thought about Yan Chengchi being inside the house.

When she finally struggled and made her way into the living room, she found that there was nobody there…

There was not a single person there on the whole level, including her room.

Yan Chengchi was not back yet?

Xia Changyue stood at the entryway with a weird feeling in her heart.

She felt a little relief yet a little disappointed.

She was dazed for a while before closing the door of her room. She found her way into the kitchen, got some ingredients from the refrigerator, and cooked a bowl of noodles. She brought the bowl of noodles into the dining room and started eating.

She was starving because she had not eaten anything for a day.

She finished the bowl of noodles quickly and licked her lips with a satisfied look.

She cleaned up quickly and sneaked back to the second floor where her room was.

She locked the door carefully before taking out a set of pajamas from her suitcase and went into the bathroom.

The villa remained quiet even after she waited until 11pm.

Xia Changyue was editing her script on the laptop and was getting sleepy as time passed. However, she dared not sleep when Yan Chengchi was not back yet.

Time passed slowly.

She stepped out of her room and looked at the empty corridor. She suddenly thought of the cold decor in the master bedroom.

She sighed softly, almost unnoticeably.

Why did she feel like a kept woman who was waiting for her master to come back?

Xia Changyue bit her lips while feeling a little heavy-hearted.

Looking at the night sky full of stars, she couldn’t sleep no matter how she snuggled in her blanket.

Outside of the villa’s gate.

A black limousine had parked there quietly for over an hour.

“Young Master Chi, Miss Xia moved early this morning. She was set up in the guest room, as you instructed. The butler reported that Miss Xia left the villa shortly after she put down the luggage. She only came back at 8 o’clock in the evening.”

The Assistant turned his head respectfully to look at the man pretending to sleep at the backseat.

His well-built body leaned back with a hand supporting his head. His seductive face was slightly tilted and looked perfectly smooth in the dim light.

He opened his eyes slightly when he heard the Assistant.

His eyes were bright and without any signs of sleepiness.

He asked with a cold voice, “Where did she go?”

“The First Hospital,” the Assistant reported the information that they had gathered. “Miss Xia’s parents had a traffic accident four years ago. Both of them became vegetables. The culprit escaped the scene. Xia family lost their main support, and the company declared bankruptcy shortly. Even the family’s fortune was divided up by the relatives.”

“…”

Four years ago.

A coldness flashed through Yan Chengchi’s eyes.

Tragedy struck her family soon after he left then.

It happened so fast that it almost seemed like karma.

“Oh yes, Young Master Chi. According to the person who followed Miss Xia, she bumped into the missy of Jiang family, Miss Jiang Mingna, in the hospital.”
