“Tianxin, do you want to take a look at this?”
Ye Tianxin walked over and took another look at the photo. She was equally horrified to see what was written at the back of the phone.
She tried to think hard about if any of the girls who gathered outside seemed suspicious.
“Mom, the letter was written there on purpose by X.”
Ye Tianxin was now certain that the explosion was caused by X.
This meant that someone was watching them from afar.
Ye Tianxin walked toward the window. She looked around to see if there was any suspicious-looking person.
“Tianxin, you have to come home with me. Either you come home with me or you go back to Lang Garden. You cannot stay here alone. It’s too dangerous. I cannot leave you alone here in the hostel.”
It was too dangerous.
Wu Tong’s tone softened as she tried to persuade Ye Tianxin to leave with her. “Tianxin, please listen to me. Be good.”
Ye Tianxin nodded. “Mom, I’ll go back to Lang Garden. My father and my brother are looking into this matter. I will be able to know the latest updates from them.”
“Okay.” Wu Tong was relieved.
It was already nighttime.
The first few nights of the new year were always chilly.
Ye Tianxin looked at the mountains in a distance as she sat alone in the yard at Lang Garden.
She wished so much that a familiar car would drive up from the mountains like how Li Qingcang usually would appear at the doorstep.
Ye Linlang came out of the house with a blanket in her hand. She went over and covered Ye Tianxin’s frail body with it.
“Tianxin, get back into the house. It’s cold outside and you will fall sick.”
Ye Tianxin shook her head. “Mom, I want to look at the stars in. Do you think the weather will turn colder tomorrow?”
Many stars were shining brightly in the sky that night.
“Tianxin, if you don’t listen to me, I will call Qingcang right now. Quick, get back into the house. Otherwise, I will get Qingcang to talk to you.”
Ye Linlang was trying to tease Ye Tianxin. She still didn’t know what happened to Li Qingcang.
Ye Tianxin’s heart skipped a beat when she heard her mother mention Li Qingcang’s name. She wrapped her hands around Ye Linlang’s waist. She replied softly, “Mom, Qingcang must be busy with his work right now.”
“If you don’t want me to complain to Qingcang, you’d better go into the house. What if you fall sick? It’s so cold during this time of the year. You will catch a cold very easily.”
Ye Tianxin breathed in the familiar scent of her mother.
Instead of being comforted, she felt her eyes smarting with tears.
There was a sharp pain in her heart.
The day was almost over.
Xie Xuning was not home yet.
There was also no news from Xie Xingchen.
Li Qingcang had not contacted anyone.
Where was he?
“Mom, do you hope that the baby is a girl or a boy?”
“I’ll love the child regardless of its sex.”
Ye Linlang started to comb through Ye Tianxin’s hair with her fingers.
She felt that her daughter was acting a little strange that day.
“Tianxin, tell me. Did something happen?”
Ye Tianxin shook her head. “Mom, it’s nothing. Come, let’s go into the house. You’re pregnant now. You have to be careful and take care of yourself.”
“Okay. Good girl.”
Two hours had passed.
Ye Linlang was pregnant. She had been sleeping a lot.
She fell asleep very quickly. One could hear her soft breathing.
Ye Tianxin could not sleep at all.
She took out her phone and kept dialing Li Qingcang’s number.
There was no response as usual.
The line was always engaged.
Ye Tianxin wanted to call Xie Xuning or Xie XIngchen, but she was afraid of receiving bad news.
