Yan Huan thought it was about time to go home, as she had spent quite a lot of time enjoying her freedom. Although this place was peaceful, but she would eventually get sick of it, besides, someone had already noticed that she was staying here. She left the cup on the balcony, walked back into the house, and started to pack her stuff. As for this house, she would leave it be. The landlord would surely come over and put the house back in order eventually.
She left the keys on the table and double-checked all of her possessions. Soon after she was certain that nothing was left behind, she closed the door and walked out of the house.
Right after stepping out of the door, the oncoming wind nearly knocked off her balance. Rubbing her arms, she decided that she had to eat more and gain some weight. Otherwise, she was afraid she would really be blown away by a gust of wind.
Yan Huan pulled her hat down slightly as she continued on. If River Xun was already this chilly during the autumn, then it must be worse during the winter. In comparison to Sea City, River Xun was definitely much colder. She wanted to find a place to hibernate.
Yan Huan had bundled herself up tightly as she dragged her luggage along. No one seemed to recognize her, which made her wonder: was it because of her superb ability in disguising herself, or was it because she was not as famous as she thought?
After she boarded the plane, she started to buzz with the anticipation of going home. River Xun was actually not too far away from Sea City, furthermore, it was a direct flight to the airport of Sea City. In about three hours, she would arrive at of Sea City.
Modern means of transportation was pretty fast. If Yan Huan were to take the train, it would probably take the whole day and night. The shaky train would definitely dredge up memories of the past, but as of now, she was not in a suitable state to take the train.
When a person had stayed alone for a long time, she would start to think too much. Despite her efforts to readjust herself, she was still worried that in the remaining time that she has left, she might end up becoming a lunatic one day.
She refused to go to crowded places, nor did she want to go to quiet places.
Yan Huan tilted her body toward the window, gazing at the fluffy white clouds outside that looked as soft as marshmallows, giving people an urge to touch them just to find out whether the clouds were as soft and sweet as expected. As she looked outside, little by little, she started spacing out, becoming conscious again, and afterwards, stopped thinking altogether.
Two hours went by quickly, in fact, it was so easy to pass time. Perhaps in the blink of an eye, time had already passed.
Once she set foot on the ground of Sea City, she was welcomed by the scent that was unique to Sea City. No matter the wind or the endless bustling crowds, all this gave her a sense of familiarity.
Home, this word, should sound wonderful and loving.
For her, Sea City was her home, the place where she was familiar with, it was where she was born and it would also be the place where her bones would be buried.
She lifted her luggage and walked out of the airport. In the meantime, she had neither informed anyone nor called anybody to inform about her return.
Yan Huan laughed softly to herself. It had been a long time since she last saw her in-laws, and also her troublesome grandfather-in-law at home. She did not know whether Little Lei had become fatter. The little guy’s physique was exceedingly better than normal children, as he had a stout build since young. Even now, he was much taller than the children of his age. He might even be as tall as his father when he grew up. Being tall was a good thing, having a tall stature would prevent him from being bullied.
Not long after, she was standing in front of the doorstep of the Lu Family’s residence. She took off her sunglasses, letting the gentle breeze caress her face, which brought along subtle feelings of nostalgia.
Sea City was not as cold as River Xun. Not all the leaves had fallen off yet, as she could still see some vibrant green leaves on the trees. Yan Huan was familiar with every weed and bush here. Back in the days, she had even counted the leaves when there was no one around. It seemed like those leaves were still there, but it also seemed like they had decreased.
Henceforth, it was evident that her life would be extremely stale and boring.
Of course, she could not bear to end her own life now, because karma was going to hit Su Muran very soon. She would not add insult to injury, but no one should expect her to offer help and support, donating her blood to that kind of person.
She would rather rescue an unknown man in River Xun than donate her blood to Su Muran. They could just find some cow blood themselves, as it would definitely not be from Yan Huan herself.
Yan Huan lifted her luggage and walked forward. Just when she was about to knock on the door, she retracted her hand immediately, opened her purse and took out her keys, preparing to open the door for herself.
Ah, here’s the arrival of a surprise.
The door squeaked open as Yan Huan was about to enter. A woman appeared abruptly at the doorway.
“Who are you? How could you trespass someone else’s house?” As she was speaking, the woman ran toward the landline phone in a haste, preparing to call the police.
So, it turned out not as a surprise, but a shock.
Yan Huan pulled her luggage along and walked into the house while looking straight ahead.
The woman gripped the landline phone tightly, threatening to call the police, but it seemed like she had not taken any action.
“Who are you?”
The woman asked again, then she warned Yan Huan with a deep voice, “One step forward and I am calling the police.”
“Alright, go ahead,” Yan Huan was not bothered by it. Once she makes the call, people would come over immediately. Then, we shall see who will be the one detained by the police, will it be her, or me?
The woman slammed the landline phone down instantly, ran over, and extended her arms to block Yan Huan. ” You better leave now. Or else, don’t blame me for being rough.”
“Are you looking for a fight?” Yan Huan cast her luggage aside, took off her jacket and threw it on the sofa, “It has been a long time since I last fought, so why don’t we give it a try?”
That was what she said, but in truth, she was just doing this out of boredom. She would never lay a finger on others.
This person should be a new housekeeper right? The apron she is wearing has not changed. She continued to fool around with the little housekeeper, but her opponent seemed to be rather wary of her. Yan Huan’s fighting pose was rather silly, which clearly showed that she had no intention to fight for real.
However, her silly antics seemed to have frightened that woman. Fine, she was a kind and good-natured person. This whole thing about intimidating that person, but she did not feel like doing it anymore.
Yan Huan lifted her luggage again and continued to walk forward. When the housekeeper insisted on blocking her way, she started to get impatient.
“What’s wrong? Do I need to report to you for returning to my own home?”
She said calmly while continuing her steps forward. As the housekeeper heard the words ‘my own home’, she was rooted on the spot, startled.
She had just started working with them. She only knew that the Lu Family had four members, but when did they have this additional fifth family member? No one had told her about this.
Yan Huan opened the bedroom door, standing at the doorway. However, she was stunned.
The room looked like it was lived in. The room did not resemble one that was vacant for months, it indicated that someone had been living inside. The books on the table were a mess, there were clusters of items, and the blanket obviously showed that someone had been sleeping in it.
All of a sudden, an irritable feeling rose from the bottom of her heart.
Who touched this room? Who gave some other person the permission to sleep here, who dared to even sleep in this bedroom?
