Bitterness and helplessness filled every word i Hanqing just said.
She really, really didn't want to leave. She had only just reunited with her parents, and now they were going to be separated. Who knew in what year they'd et again!
She hadn't even had ti to properly enjoy her parents' care before she had to lose it again. Who could understand the bitterness in her heart?
Who could possibly feel what she felt!
And once she left this ti, she had no idea when she'd see Ye Xunhuan again, or whether he would end up forgetting her.
"But I also don't want to be a burden!" i Hanqing said, her face full of mixed emotions.
Ming Yue let out a soft sigh. "I know this is cruel. If you really don't want to go, then go back."
Ming Yue could clearly see that i Hanqing truly didn't want to leave with her at all. She wanted to stay.
"I don't want to go, but I have to. Otherwise I'll only ever be dead weight, dragging him down for the rest of his life!" i Hanqing said painfully. "Even if he ends up forgetting , I'll still go with you!"
"Girl, you'd better think this through. Until you finish your training, I won't let you co back." Ming Yue said, her expression solemn and serious.
"I know." i Hanqing slowly let out a stuffy breath from between her lips.
Because of the cold weather, the breath she exhaled turned directly into a faint white mist.
"You've really thought it through?"
"Let's go." i Hanqing said softly.
From the depths of her heart, i Hanqing didn't want to leave. Rationally, too, she knew she shouldn't leave, otherwise no one knew what might happen in the future, or whether Ye Xunhuan would be able to rember her.
But at the sa ti, there was another voice telling her, i Hanqing, if you don't leave, this is how you'll be for the rest of your life—destined to be a burden!
Just as she'd said to Ming Yue, she didn't want to be a burden. She really didn't.
And during the ti she had been with Ye Xunhuan, she could feel that his life was like being in the middle of a raging sea, one storm after another, never a mont's calm. All she could do was watch helplessly as wave after wave crashed over him, completely unable to help at all!
This wasn't what i Hanqing wanted. What she wanted was to be able to help Ye Xunhuan; and even if she couldn't, she at least didn't want to add any burden to him.
So she chose to leave.
Hearing i Hanqing say this again, Ming Yue stopped asking questions and directly took i Hanqing away from there.
She followed Ming Yue and left, like a lone wild goose vanishing into the distance, trace unknown.
No one knew that i Hanqing had left this city—this city she had lived in for over twenty years!
...
Jian Yunong and Su Bingzhi sat upstairs, waiting and waiting, but i Hanqing still hadn't co back. This made both their hearts jump into their throats. Could sothing have happened?
Just as Jian Yunong and Su Bingzhi were about to call i Hanqing, Jian Yunong's phone suddenly chid!
It was a text ssage alert!
Imdiately, Jian Yunong fished her phone out from her clothes and opened the ssage. When she saw it was from i Hanqing, she instantly began reading it carefully.
The next second, Jian Yunong's face turned ugly.
"Mom, by the ti you see this ssage, I've already left. I've left this city. Don't overthink it, nothing happened to ."
"Too much has happened lately. I want so ti alone to calm down, to travel around a bit…"
"The weather's getting cold. You and Dad take care of your health. Don't worry about !"
The ssage was very simple. She only said she was going out to travel and didn't ntion Ming Yue at all. She really was gone without a trace!
Jian Yunong was dumbfounded, staring at the text on her phone in utter disbelief.
i Hanqing was gone. The daughter she had just found had left her side like this!
This was sothing Jian Yunong simply couldn't accept.
The next mont, almost by instinct, Jian Yunong dialed i Hanqing's number, but all that ca from the receiver was a cold chanical voice!
This made Jian Yunong's heart instantly sink to rock bottom.
"It must be Ye Xunhuan. It must be that bastard who bullied Han Qing; otherwise how could Han Qing leave for no reason!" Jian Yunong said through gritted teeth. "I'm going to settle this with that bastard!"
As she spoke, Jian Yunong was about to get up and leave to go find Ye Xunhuan.
But the next second, she was stopped by Su Bingzhi.
"You're going to find Ye Xunhuan—what are you going to say to him?" Su Bingzhi said heavily. "And we haven't even figured out what's going on yet. How do you know it's Ye Xunhuan?"
"Who else could it be besides Ye Xunhuan?" Jian Yunong was like a lioness with her fur standing on end, glaring at Su Bingzhi, her eyes full of hostility. "Other than him, does Han Qing have any reason to leave? And where would she even go, she…"
"That's exactly why we need to get things straight, otherwise it'll just be another wild goose chase!" Su Bingzhi said forcefully. "If it turns out it has nothing to do with Ye Xunhuan, and Han Qing cos back in a couple of days, then the two of them end up having a falling-out—who are we going to bla?"
Last ti, when i Hanqing was taken away by First Overbearing, they had already deeply wronged Ye Xunhuan once. Now, Su Bingzhi really didn't want to misunderstand him a second ti.
And this ti, it was i Hanqing who left of her own accord, not soone kidnapping her.
"What kind of spell did Ye Xunhuan put on you that you're speaking up for him like this…"
"I'm just talking based on the facts. You're worried about Han Qing—do you think I'm not?" Su Bingzhi directly cut Jian Yunong off. "I'm worried too. But even if we're worried, we should still figure out what actually happened first…"
"The cause is obvious. It has to be Ye Xunhuan bullying my daughter. Otherwise, my daughter wouldn't have left like this…"
"Su Bingzhi, if you won't go find Ye Xunhuan, I'll go myself!"
"I'll go. You stay ho and wait." Su Bingzhi said helplessly.
He knew that if he didn't go ask Ye Xunhuan what was going on, Jian Yunong definitely wouldn't calm down tonight. And if he let Jian Yunong go find Ye Xunhuan, who knew what might happen!
So it was better that he go instead.
"I'll go with you!"
"What are you coming with for? What if Han Qing cos back later?" Su Bingzhi exhaled a heavy breath.
When Jian Yunong thought about it, that did make sense, so she agreed. "Fine, I'll wait for you."
After that, Su Bingzhi imdiately left, heading toward the Tingxiang Waterside Pavilion villa to find Ye Xunhuan and get so answers!
At this mont, Ye Xunhuan still had no idea that i Hanqing had already left. Right now he was playing chess with Qiu Shuihan.
Just as Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Shuihan were about to decide the winner, Qiu Ruoxi suddenly ca running in from outside in a panic. "Xunhuan, co quick, sothing's happened…"
