When Xiao Minxing returned, the sky had already darkened.
He must have worked overtime again today, so when I saw the headlights illuminate the yard from the window, a bitter feeling rose in my heart.
Not only is he busy with work, but he also has a lot of chores related to the Xiao Family. Even if he doesn't want to deal with them, it's clear that no one is willing to let him off the hook.
That night we went to the old house, and Old Master Xiao specifically kept him behind for a talk. I don't know what they discussed in detail, but it certainly wasn't anything good; otherwise, those older siblings wouldn't have been so defensive around him.
Thinking about it, it's particularly difficult for him. After all these years, although he has a family and relatives, no one truly stands by his side. Since we got married, those older siblings have never even visited us. Of course, Xiao Minxing never took me to see them either. They are clearly brothers by blood, yet they can't even exchange a word.
After parking the car in the garage, he walked past under the window and headed inside.
His figure was illuminated by the light, casting a dark shadow at his feet, looking desolate and lonely.
At that moment, the television downstairs was still on, and the sound traveled through the Living Room window outside and then into my room.
Since I came from Lu Yishan, I hadn't gone downstairs or cooked. At least in front of Xiao Minxing, I had to put on an angry facade. It wouldn't make sense for me to rush over to serve him when the mistress had already shown up.
Not long after he entered the house, the television downstairs was turned off.
My room was dark; I sat quietly in my chair but listened intently for any sounds from outside.
However, the distance downstairs was too far; unless it was particularly loud, I couldn't hear anything. Moreover, the door was closed.
About ten minutes later, my door was pushed open, and Xiao Minxing appeared in the light at the Entrance.
The corridor light outside was bright while my room remained dark. The contrast of light and darkness cut across his body; his back was illuminated while his face remained obscured.
He didn't look at the light but stood at the Entrance long enough as if he had adapted to the darkness and found my position before quietly walking over.
I was originally sitting in a recliner, completely still since the moment he opened the door. The room was dark, so he probably couldn't see what I was doing. As he approached, I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.
I felt Xiao Minxing's footsteps stop in front of me and sensed him bending down to look at my face, as a slight warmth brushed past my cheek.
But it was fleeting.
I was covered with a thin blanket, and then I heard him softly leave.
I only opened my eyes again when I heard the door sound, and I saw his figure disappear through the crack of the door.
Just a few minutes later, the car lights in the yard lit up again. I turned my head cautiously to look outside and saw Xiao Minxing's car driving out, followed by Lu Yishan slowly walking towards the car with her luggage.
He was actually going to send her off?
Why?
Didn’t this woman know him well? She confidently claimed that this tactic was effective; how could it have failed so quickly?
From my window, I could see her first open the passenger door but not get in right away. She just stood outside, seemingly discussing something with him. Later, she angrily slammed the door shut and opened the back seat door.
The Car drove out of the yard and headed towards Haicheng along the road in front of the door.
I jumped out of my chair, suddenly feeling extremely good. I even thought about calling Xiao Minxing to ask what he wanted to eat so that I could make it right away and have it ready for him when he returned.
However, after busying myself in the kitchen for over an hour, I still hadn’t seen him come back.
I don’t know how many times I looked towards the main Entrance, my neck almost feeling like it would break. It was as if he had disappeared along with Lu Yishan.
Right, there’s still me as an informant here. If he really had something going on with this woman, he should find another place to go.
But he wasn't like this before. Didn't he used to bring all sorts of messy women home? He even did it on purpose for me to see. Why is it different now?
Oh, maybe Lu Yishan is different from those other women. She is a girlfriend, a lover, while those women were just tools for release, so they need to be treated differently.
But if he really loves her, why did he send her away?
I feel like I have a strange illness, repeatedly thinking about these questions. The more I can't find answers, the more I want to know.
The food I prepared has already gone cold on the dining table, and the whole yard remains silent.
I was still hesitating whether to call Xiao Minxing, when my own Mobile Phone rang first, and it was actually Lu Yishan.
She was as furious as if she had eaten explosives; as soon as I answered, she started yelling at me.
Honestly, I couldn't even understand what she was saying.
Her speech was too fast, and my brain was too slow to react.
It wasn't until she paused that I finally had a chance to ask, "Didn't you say this method would work? Why did you go back?"
As soon as Lu Yishan heard this, she exploded again: "Qiu Yuhan, are you deliberately getting back at me? You must have known this would be the result, so you let me go over there and then watched me get kicked out. You must be laughing secretly!"
"I didn't! I just don't understand. Besides, when you came over, I told you this method wouldn't work; you insisted on it yourself."
She must have been furious but didn't want to give up easily. She was breathing heavily, and even through the phone, I could hear her gasping.
"Just tell me what solution you have quickly. Stop pretending here. If it weren't for Xiao Minxing, I wouldn't bother with you at all."
I thought to myself, "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't bother with you either."
But I didn't say that; I just asked her where she was now.
"Where else could I be? Of course, I'm at my own home," Lu Yishan replied irritably.
"What about Xiao Minxing? Is he there too?" I asked.
The person on the other end quickly said, "He's not here. He dropped me off and left."
"But he hasn't come back."
Hearing her say that Xiao Minxing had already left her house made me anxious, and my voice became uncontrollable, sharp enough to startle myself.
I used to never worry about Xiao Minxing. If he didn't come back, he had his own places to go—whether it was a gentle haven or a golden house, he would never end up sleeping on the streets.
But after that time he fainted, I even became afraid to let him drive. I worried that if something happened on the way, it could lead to something even worse because what happened that night was so sudden, so unexpected that I had never thought about it before.
From Lu Yishan's tone, it seemed he had left the Lu Family a long time ago. But so much time has passed, and he still hasn't returned. Where could he be?
Could something have happened on the road?
Just thinking about this made it impossible for me to sit still for even a moment. I quickly ran to the entrance, not even bothering to change my shoes, grabbed a set of car keys, and dashed outside.
