71 Luckily, She Had A Son! (2/2)

...

Gu Xietian did not spend the night at Mistress Zhou's courtyard but instead only had dinner with her. He was not focused throughout the dinner and hardly listened to what she said as well.

After the dinner, he left. He did not allow anyone to follow him as he randomly entered into a small courtyard.

The courtyard was relatively small and far from the main house. There was a lock hanging on the chain of the door that was already rusted. The door was covered with a thick layer of dust because no one had visited here for a long time.

Gu Xietian idled in front of the door for a while. After some time, he gritted his teeth and broke the lock. He then walked into the courtyard.

It was rather quiet in the courtyard. The weeds grew so much that they had reached the height of a normal human. The doors and windows were broken too.

Gu Xietian stood there and then pushed the door to enter the house.

The displays in the house were very simple but since there was no one cleaning the house, all the furniture and displays were covered with layers of dust.

There was a large bed in the room and a faded blanket.

Gu Xietian did not mind the dirt. He slowly sat down at the edge of the bed and touched the blanket. As his fingers glided across the blanket, more dust flew up. Feeling a little uncomfortable, he finally hugged the blanket in his arms like he was looking for the scent of a person.

However, it had been 10 years. Even though she owned the blanket and used it every day, he could never find the scent anymore!

”Xing…”, he held the blanket tightly until his nails turned white. ”I’m here, and I’m here to visit you. So many years have passed, do… do you regret?”
