C31 (1/2)

Only, the heavens did not seem to want to give Qi Miao time to meditate. Just as she returned home, her landline phone started ringing.

She knew that it was Yun Peng doing a routine sentry!

Picking up the receiver, suppressing the panic in his heart,

”Hello.”

”What are you doing? Why did you only pick up the phone so long ago?” Yun Peng's slightly angry voice came from the other end of the phone, causing Qi Miao's soul to tremble in fear.

”I, I just came back!” She did not dare to lie.

”Why is it so late?”

She did come home a little late today. Normally, even if she worked all day, she would still be home before 11 PM.

”Yes, there was a fitness customer who got injured while closing up the building. I took care of it and wasted some time!”

Qi Miao guiltily tried to find an excuse, her voice unavoidably trembling, but the reason was not forceful, whether or not the customer was injured wasn't something that could be controlled.

Fortunately, Yun Peng knew that she was afraid of him so he didn't mind.

”Have you had dinner?”

”Yes, I did. I ate with my colleagues at around 6PM!”

Qi Miao was not used to Yun Peng's sudden concern. Could it be that the words he said he would try to be good to her, was he really going to do what he said?

But she would rather be the same.

”Mm, then let's rest early!”

Without waiting for Qi Miao's reply, Yun Peng hung up. This was his usual style.

Qi Miao sat on the sofa dumbly. With a thought, she really wanted to escape away from this place with Ye Dongmo, like Qi Ji who was escaping from a marriage, without any news.

If it was really like Ye Dongmo had promised, even if she left with him, nothing would happen to Qi's, his aunt would be fine, and the plant person's father wouldn't stop the treatment.

She could not do this, she thought.

She was afraid that Ye Dongmo would hit a rock with an egg.

Once she angered Yun Peng, it wouldn't matter if she was captured and beaten up, but what about the others?

If Yun Peng knew that she ran away with another man, even he would not be able to survive! Also, Yun Peng would not let his family go.

Qi Ji ran away, and used her and Qi Miao to restore some of her Qi Family back together.

But if she, Qi Miao ran away, what would be exchanged for would be the end of a few lives.

She couldn't be so selfish, but she didn't want to continue living.

She, who had never blamed Qi Ji before, suddenly felt a bit more resentful towards her elder sister.

A sleepless night.

Ever since that day, Ye Dongmo disappeared again, but this time,he did not see anyone. Instead, she would call Qi Miao every single day to inform him that she had been busy recently and that the exquisite mahogany box would arrive at noon on time.

Qi Miao could even tell when he cooked and when she ordered the dishes from the restaurant. Not just lunch, but breakfast too.
