Chapter 106: Difficult Decision (II)

  Crouched in a corner of the room, waiting for the darkness to engulf the entire sky, only a faint light existed inside, shining from outside in.

  There was a noise at the door, and Xue didn't lift her head, but heard the servant's voice: "Miss... it's time for dinner..."

  She didn't respond and remained in the same posture.

  The servant stood at the door for a long time and did not leave.

  She must have known it was his order; now she doesn't dare go down, probably can't afford to lose face.

  She got up and followed the servant downstairs.

  It's quite unexpected, but Yi Xiang Tian isn't here after all.

  There was someone guarding at the entrance of the villa, but inside the villa, except for the servant and her, there was no one else.

  The meaning is clear, it's about not restricting her freedom.

  As long as she doesn't leave this villa, she can go anywhere.

  Without a big appetite, one person sitting at such a large dining table makes the whole space feel cold and desolate. All that can be heard is the sound of her chopsticks hitting the bowl.

  The phone in his pocket suddenly rang out, and in this quiet space, it was even more jarring. It gave him a heart-pounding feeling.

  She hastily put down her chopsticks and reached into her pocket, only to find it was Qianqian's phone.

  "Snow is falling... Can you go online now?" The other end of the line, Qianqian's tone was urgent.

  "What's wrong?"

  Her heart skipped a beat, hoping nothing else had happened.

  "Quickly go online and take a look, these reports seem to have suddenly disappeared! Can't find them anywhere, I went online to search for a long time but couldn't find them. Then I went with Xiaoyang to buy newspapers, they said today's papers were all recalled... Anyway, it seems like they suddenly disappeared..."

  "What's going on?"

  She clutched her phone tightly, actually she knew that any one of them had such ability, but who was it?

  "Alas, it can't be found anywhere, you go take a look..."

  Xue Luo didn't have the heart to eat anymore and hurriedly ran up to the second floor study.

  As soon as she opened the door, someone suddenly grabbed her neck.

  The snow fell heavily and wanted to shout out loud, but found that its neck was pinched tightly, unable to make a sound.

  What made her even more shocked and surprised was that the person in front of her, tightly grasping her neck, was...the woman beside him, Mei Ying.

  Xue fell silent, staring at the enchanting figure in front of her.

  It's clear that the person opposite also froze for a moment, probably because they didn't expect the person who came in to be her.

  "Silence!"

  She said softly, then slowly released her hand.

  Snow had just fallen and hadn't figured out how she ended up here, when footsteps sounded outside the door. Before she could react, the figure in front of her flashed by, and had already pushed open the window and jumped out.

  She took two quick steps forward and at the same time the door of the study was pushed open.

  "Fall?"

  Yi gazed up at Tian with a furrowed brow as he turned around to look at her, his Xue Luo, and saw the shock flashing across her small face.

  "What's wrong?"

  His gaze passed over her and looked out of the open window behind her, "Why is the window open? Isn't it cold?"

  Seeing him walking towards the window, she hurriedly went up to him: "You... where did you go just now? Didn't see you at dinner either..."

  She stood in front of him, her voice trembling slightly without realizing it.

  He withdrew his gaze and looked at her, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes before he burst out laughing and reached out to ruffle her hair: "Why did you run up here after eating only half your meal?"

  "Uh... I heard those reports... can't be seen anymore, did you have them withdrawn?"

  She asked with a smile on her pale face.

  He just smiled and didn't answer her, putting his arm around her shoulder: "Let's go eat..."

  ——(

  He had just taken two steps when his phone rang, and Xue Luo was startled by the sound. She perked up her ears to listen to his conversation.

  And he just listened to the person on the other end talking, she couldn't hear, until finally, he softly responded: "Got it..."

  When she walked out of the study, Xue Yu subconsciously glanced at the open window again, her heart was suspended high and couldn't be put down.

  He ate halfway and was called out again.

  And she didn't even have the heart to eat anything, just kept looking out at the commotion outside. But everything was as quiet and peaceful as this gradually subsiding night, eerily calm.

  It's almost 10 o'clock in the evening, and there is still no sign of Yixiang Tian.

  The snow fell, and she couldn't help but look at the clock on the wall again. She took out her phone several times, wanting to make a call to ask if that figure had returned home, but each time, she ended up putting it down.

  The phone suddenly rang again, and she jumped up in surprise.

  She saw the dancing words on the screen and instinctively reached out to press down.

  "Qian Qian?"

  "The snow is falling... Mike is dead!"

  She stood there, seemingly disbelieving, and muttered another sentence: "What?"

  "Mike, a reporter for Global Daily, Aaron's older cousin, was found brutally murdered on a street at dusk..."

  Late afternoon... That is to say, after leaving here and going out...

  There was a commotion at the door, she stared blankly and looked up to see Yixiang Tian coming in from the entrance.

  Her phone fell off at this point...

  And when he saw her, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then he found that something was wrong with her.

  "What's wrong?"

  He stepped forward, wanting to reach out and touch her face, but she took a big step back.

  "Then she heard her say: 'Is Mike dead?'"

  His eyebrows furrowed instantly, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and he asked again: "What?"

  There is also a more haha~~
