Shi Qian no longer declined and just nodded.
“Let’s go,” Jiang Ci said softly.
He followed beside her, opened the car door for her, let her in, and then closed the door.
Shi Qian got into the car, and Jiang Ci and Huo Fei wouldn’t discuss anything.
Shi Qian leaned against the back of the chair, her slightly messy hair draped over her shoulders as she looked out the window calmly.
The car drove to the King’s Garden and stopped at the entrance.
Jiang Ci and Huo Fei immediately got out of the car.
Shi Qian pushed the car door open and got out. She looked at them and said,
“Be careful on the road. Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
“Yes. Have a good rest,” Jiang Ci said. “Call me if you need anything.”
“Okay. I’ll go in then.” Shi Qian nodded.
“Let’s go in.”
Jiang Ci watched Shi Qian walk into the King’s Garden until she was no longer in sight.
“What’s wrong with Sister Qian?” Huo Fei muttered. That is the first time I’ve seen her cry. It can’t be because of Master Zhan, right?”
Jiang Ci’s eyes darkened. After a silence, he said, “Let’s go.”
Shi Qian returned to the front of the villa. She was afraid the servants or Yan Yi would see her, so she did not enter the house. Shi Qian went straight to the garden instead. She planned to pass through the bamboo forest and bring the snow wolves beast behind the mountain to enjoy the breeze.
She arrived at the bamboo forest and unexpectedly saw Baili Xi played with Yaoyao.
Shi Qian didn’t call Yaoyao and Beastie as she turned around and walked towards the back of the mountain alone.
Baili Xi also saw her, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
‘Shouldn’t she be in school at this time? Why did she suddenly return home so early?
Just as he was about to call out to her, he suddenly realized something was odd with her expression. Her eyes were slightly red as if she had cried.
Baili Xi pondered and immediately ignored the snow wolves he had administered hallucination and started to walk forward.
He stopped after two steps and took out his phone to call Shang Sizhan.
Shang Sizhan was in a meeting.
The phone screen beside him lit up. He glanced at the screen and saw Baili Xi’s name.
Baili Xi usually wouldn’t call him. Something must have happened.
Shang Sizhan interrupted the speaker in the meeting and picked up the phone. “What is it?”
Baili Xi said, “Master Zhan, Miss Qianqian has returned to the Emperor’s Garden early. She went behind the mountain alone. I saw that she didn’t look okay.”
Shang Sizhan frowned.
“What happened to her?” Baili Xi replied, “Her eyes were sparingly red. She seems to have cried. She ignored me when she saw me. I don’t know what happened. She has never cried hard before…”
“I got it. Thank you, Baili Xi.”
“Adjourn this meeting.”
He strode into the meeting room afterward.
The big boss had already disappeared before anyone could react.
Shi Qian stood alone on the mountainside.
The sky was gray and gloomy as if a storm would come at any time.
She looked at the dark clouds in the sky. She recalled a scene from her childhood. Bai Yan came home in the heavy rain and stood drenched in the living room. She looked at her and apologized several times.
In her memory, she seemed to have apologized to her many times.
Memories immersed Shi Qian. A familiar and pleasant voice suddenly sounded. “Qianqian.”
Shi Qian suddenly turned her head and was stunned to see Shang Sizhan walk towards her. She asked in surprise, “Master Zhan!”
Shang Sizhan strode to her and hooked her chin with his slender fingers to make her look up sparingly.
He looked at the girl’s beautiful eyes. They were sparingly red.. He frowned slightly and said with concern, “What’s wrong?”
