In the middle of the night, Qin Yuji turned over and suddenly woke up.
Having been accustomed to sleeping in his embrace, Qin Yuji could distinctly sense whether Chi Jingxuan was by her side or not.
She reached out to feel, and indeed, the space beside her was empty, and on the balcony of the bedroom, there was no sign of him either.
A bit worried, Qin Yuji turned on the bedside lamp and got out of bed.
The door to the study was wide open, with bright light spilling out from within, exhibiting a different kind of desolation in the cold night.
Qin Yuji walked over and saw Chi Jingxuan sitting on the floor, looking at a picture frame.
At his feet were two cardboard boxes, the same ones he had brought back from the Chi Family Mansion the other day.
Sensing something, Chi Jingxuan turned his head and saw Qin Yuji leaning against the doorframe with eyes full of pity, her expression unspeakably downcast.
"Did I wake you?"
