Bai Yaoyao clutched the letter in her hand as her hand turned pale, afraid to hear what the butler was about to say.
Her heart started to beat erratically as she silently prayed for Duan Yanhao’s safety.
She finally managed to sort out her feelings after much difficulty, not to mention that she finally managed to find a warmth that belonged to her. She could not bear any more hurt.
At that moment, Bai Yaoyao’s mind started whirling.
The butler said respectfully, “Young Master only went back home. Miss Bai can read the letter Young Master left for the details.”
Bai Yaoyao heaved a sigh of relief. She kept muttering to herself, “He’s fine, he’s fine.”
The thing she was most worried about was Duan Yanhao’s safety. As long as he was safe, it did not matter whether he sent her or not. She was not a child, and she could totally board a flight back alone.
As it was already the morning of the Lunar New Year’s Eve, sounds of firecrackers could be heard outside.
Bai Yaoyao felt a little disappointed when she heard the sound of firecrackers. Without Duan Yanhao by her side, she really could not feel the festive atmosphere of the New Year. In fact, she felt a little lonely.
However, she would keep this loneliness in her heart.
After opening the letter, Bai Yaoyao saw the handwriting on it, which looked magnificent. It was written in bold and cursive strokes, and she gently felt his words. Now, it felt like her mood has changed. She even liked his handwriting now.
She looked at the words written on it: Yaoyao, I have something urgent to attend to back home, so I will go back first. I can’t send you back, and I feel guilty about it. When I come back, I will definitely make it up to you. Take care of yourself. I will miss you. Yaoyao, you are mine. From, your Yanhao.
The last sentence made Bai Yaoyao’s heart shudder. That dominant feeling crashed right into her heart at once.
As her heart trembled a little, she looked at it again and re-read the letter several times. Her heart also felt sweet and warm from it.
She was not one to be coy and always request for her partner to send her off or stay by her side. Everyone could have their own emergency situations to attend to. She could not let herself become a burden to him.
Although it was only a few hours since they had been apart, she could not help but miss him already.
In the past, she would also have to part with Duan Yanhao. However, she would feel a sense of calm every time, because back then, she felt that Duan Yanhao was a free person by himself. It was normal that he was not by her side. Also, she did not dare to yearn for warmth from him, so she did not let loose her deepest emotions. She kept suppressing them, so her yearning for him dampened as well.
Now, however, both of them had confirmed their feelings for each other. She instinctively felt that he belonged to her, so she could let her emotions run freely now, and when she did, her yearning for him grew stronger.
Bai Yaoyao walked to the bedroom and placed the letter close to her chest and muttered to herself, “Yanhao, I miss you too.”
Not long after, a servant knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
“Miss Bai, Young Master just called. He asked you to take care of yourself and that we must send you back safely. When you come back, we will also be there to fetch you, Miss Bai.”
Actually, Duan Yanhao called just now to let the butler quickly escort Bai Yaoyao out of Country X. After all, war was about to break out soon. He did not want Bai Yaoyao to know about the war, and more importantly, he did not want her to be in danger.
Bai Yaoyao nodded. She did not feel that anything was amiss, so she said, “I have already packed my things. We can leave now.”
“Miss Bai, breakfast is ready. Please have breakfast first. Young Master instructed that your health is the most important.”
Bai Yaoyao felt really sweet on the inside. She went to wash up before going down to eat breakfast. After breakfast, she was escorted to the plane.
Just as the plane was about to take off, Bai Yaoyao felt a nagging sense of uneasiness in her heart. However, she was not exactly sure why she felt uneasy.
