Chapter 488 - When Will Xiangyi Return? (2/2)

Looking at s.h.i.+ Yuting who was changing his shoes at the entrance, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan turned her head and looked at her mother and grandfather on the sofa. She had wanted to say something but hesitated. Then, she ran up to s.h.i.+ Yuting and pulled him by the arm, asking in a low voice, “Brother, Xiangyi, has he really gone back to his hometown?”

“Yes, he didn’t tell you?”

s.h.i.+ Nuannuan paused.

She had mentioned it before, but there had been no news from him for the past few days.

“He went straight back to his hometown after he finished dealing with Di Zun.”

“Oh.” She said in disappointment. Then, she asked, “When will he come back?”

“I don’t know.” s.h.i.+ Yuting was expressionless as he looked at his sister. “I gave him at least half a month’s leave for the Spring Festival. Let’s see when he wants to come back.”

Hearing this, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan’s eyes widened and she exclaimed, “Half a month?!”

Her overly shocked expression made him frown slightly. “Is there a problem?”

“Brother, how could you give him such a long holiday?! Shouldn’t you be very busy after the New Year? Why did you give him such a long holiday?” s.h.i.+ Nuannuan asked unhappily.

No one knew why she was unhappy.

On the sofa, Shen Lanzhi and Zuo Weiyi heard her overly intense voice and could not help but turn their heads to look at where the siblings were.

Looking at her displeased expression, s.h.i.+ Yuting’s long and narrow eyes lowered slightly. He then looked up with a calm expression. “He seems to have some matters to attend to.”

“What is it?” She asked with a surprised expression.

s.h.i.+ Yuting looked at his sister in front of him and was silent for a few seconds. However, he did not answer her directly. Instead, he looked at the watch on his wrist and said, “I’m leaving.”

Looking at his determined back, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was at a loss for words.

When would Xiangyi come back? What was it that required him to stay in his hometown for half a month?
