C8 (1/2)

It wasn't until the sky had darkened that Qi Miao finally got up and started pacing in front of the window. She should return back to the mansion, who knows when Yun Peng would suddenly lose his temper and go back.

Even if he didn't come back, there were still people there who were watching her closely. She couldn't stay at home all night, this was a rule given by Yun Peng, so even if she wanted to go back to Qi Family or visit her father in the nursing home, she had to go back to that mansion by 10.30pm.

His phone rang again. Qi Miao took out his phone from her pocket, and upon seeing the number, her heart trembled.

It's Yun Peng!

He answered without any delay, ”Hello!”

”Why aren't you coming home at such a late hour? Tianhai's heating is broken. Don't tell me you're working overtime!”

”Not to mention Qi Family, I've already called to ask!”

”I'm in the sanatorium. I came to see my father.”

”Hm!” ”Send it to me!” Then he hung up.

Qi Miao laughed self-deprecatingly, then mechanically followed Yun Peng's instructions and sent his own seat over. She was used to his routine of patrolling.

Before she put down the phone, the red Arabic two-digit sign on the screen caught her attention. These days, people hardly used text messages to contact each other anymore.

It should either be an advertisement or a notice from the bank.

Qi Miao was obsessed with the interface of her phone's screen, so she had to clean all the symbols.

When he opened the details page, he found that it was all from Ye Dongmo.

Basically, they were all apologies. It was all an impulse, not caring about her feelings at all.

Qi Miao deleted as soon as she saw it.

It would be false to say that there was no fluctuation in his heart.

Especially the last line, ”I'm outside the sanatorium. Come out!”

His head exploded. He actually knew where she was? Had he been following her?

He looked at the message and saw that it had been received more than two hours ago.

Qi Miao also deleted them, she picked up her clothes and left the room, not to go out and see him, but to go back first.

Moreover, so much time had passed so Ye Dongmo would probably be long gone.

After exiting the nursing home, she looked around. Although she thought that he had left and that she did not want to see him, she still instinctively used her gaze to search for him.

There were not many pedestrians and not many cars.

Finally, Qi Miao who was standing in front of the sanatorium's entrance for a while, disappointedly went to rent it.

Not far away, the black Maybach turned on its own lights as the taxi pulled away and drove out of the parking space.

Ye Dongmo did not leave, and had not left since then. He was waiting for Qi Miao to come out, not because he wanted to see her, nor was he really going to apologize, but to observe her expression after coming out.

The look in her eyes told him that she was looking for him!

The corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer, it seemed like his prey had already taken the bait. But he didn't want to waste any more time waiting for her to accept it.

He thought that he understood Qi Miao a little.

She was a conservative woman.

There were some things that needed to be resolved quickly.

When they returned to the thousand metre mansion, Qi Miao could tell from the servants' attitude that they had not seen her that Yun Peng had not returned. It seemed that the phone call from Cha Gang was due to a report from a servant.

She sneered in her heart, were these servants too idle, or were they too loyal to the Yun Family?

Having not eaten for a day, he didn't feel hungry at all. No one came to ask her if she needed a midnight snack.

This was a normal occurrence. When Yun Peng was not around, a few servants would come over, but they all ignored her.

She was like a ghost. No matter how she floated around the mansion, no matter where she went, as long as she didn't go out, no one would pay attention to her.
