Chapter 170 - Hes Gone (1/2)

When Ye Xiaoxian awoke from a sweet dream, her hand fumbled for Xiao Baoshan subconsciously. n.o.body was next to her. No warmth could be felt on the sheet.

“Why did he get up so early?” she thought.

He must be cooking breakfast. He was always quite diligent at home, always occupied with any possible household ch.o.r.es. Ye Xiaoxian was still sleepy and weary, so she soon fell asleep again.

When the sun was high in the sky, in a daze she heard Li Hongmei saying loudly, “Little Ye, it’s time for breakfast!”

She hastened to get up and opened the door only to find Li Hongmei alone in the yard.

“Mom, where is Baoshan?” she asked.

“Isn’t he in your bedroom?” Li Hongmei was surprised. “I got up at dawn to make breakfast, but I didn’t see him. Was he earlier than me?”

Suddenly, Ye Xiaoxian was struck by a bad feeling.

“Little Ye, are you all right?” Li Hongmei was confused when she saw Ye Xiaoxian’s face turning pale.

Ye Xiaoxian didn’t answer. She turned back to her bedroom and got changed, planning to head out to find Xiao Baoshan. However, she paused while dressing. Where could she find him?

He had told her that he would leave for a while in two days. Had he actually left today? Or did he just go out for a while and would come back at noon or in the afternoon?

Li Hongmei could tell from Ye Xiaoxian’s absent-mindedness that something was wrong, so she followed Ye Xiaoxian into the bedroom.

“Little Ye, don’t worry. Baoshan…” Just then, she found an envelope on the table. She pointed at it nervously and asked, “Little Ye, what is this?”

Ye Xiaoxian finally noticed it. The envelope was so conspicuous, so why hadn’t she seen it just now?
