She couldnât distinguish between dream and reality.
Feeling adrift, she sensed someone approaching her.
Qin Youxuan tried hard to open her eyes but could not.
She subconsciously reached out and grabbed the sofa cushionâ¦
âMomâ¦â
Murmuring softly, Qin Youxuan reached out, trying to grasp something. But the person beside her was getting farther and farther away.
âBe good, Xuan. Mom is going to find your dad. You have to take care of yourselfâ¦â
âMom, donât go⦠donât leave⦠Ah!â
Suddenly, Qin Youxuan sprang up in fright from the sofa. Anxiously, she turned her head and looked around. Her mother was nowhere to be seen.
She touched her face and found her cheeks wet from tears. She sat dazedly on the sofa, lost in her thoughts.
What was happening to herâ¦
Why did she keep dreaming about her childhood?
But why did these scenes in the dream feel so unfamiliar?
She remembered that her motherâs death was sudden, without any chance for her to say a word.
As for her dad, who was heâ¦
Qin Youxuan felt suffocated and stood up from the sofa.
The sun was setting on the horizon. It was almost evening.
Smelling a faint scent of flowers, Qin Youxuan walked onto the balcony and saw the morning glory flowers in full bloom in the yard, with several vines stretching all the way up the barrier wall unto the balcony.
She didnât know when but the butler had placed a pot on the third-floor balcony. The fragrance of the flowers was mild, very comforting.
Qin Youxuan stared at the blooming flowers for a while, yawned gracefully, and then turned to go downstairs.
By this time, Dan Hanjie should be coming back soon.
â¦
âButler, whereâs Da Bai?â
âYoung Mistress,â the butler respectfully greeted, âMr. Jie has instructed that Da Bai must run at least ten thousand meters daily. He is in training now.â
ââ¦â
For such a small wolf cub to start training, Dan Hanjie is truly implementing the principle of early education.
Knowing that he was doing this for Da Baiâs good, Qin Youxuan didnât dare oppose.
âI see, I will go and see Da Bai.â
Qin Youxuan had just turned to walk into the yard when she noticed out of the corner of her eye Bai Wei sitting on a bench.
She was taken aback.
It had been several days since she had seen Bai Wei. After the news of their marriage broke out, she had been poring over the news on her computer every day, afraid that it would impact the Dan Group.
Bai Wei seemed to be doing her best to lower her profile.
She would not go wherever Qin Youxuan was.
She was just like a ghost in Yujing Villa.
Now she was wearing a light pink princess dress, her body frail like a paper doll.
She seemed malnourished and looked like she might collapse any moment.
She was sitting alone on the bench, holding a newspaper and staring fixedly at the large news pages.
From afar, Qin Youxuan could see that the headline on the newspaper Bai Wei was holding was about her and Dan Hanjieâs marriage.
She had been staring at it herself all day.
But she was sure that the way Bai Wei was looking at that newspaper had nothing to do with admiration because the picture in the newspaper had been punctured by her nailsâ¦
Qin Youxuan went forward reflexively, and as she approached Bai Wei, Bai Wei turned her head sharply, staring at her fiercely.
The look in her eyes, was as if she wanted to tear her apart.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
ââ¦â
Qin Youxuan offered a helpless smile, taking the newspaper from Bai Weiâs lap and carefully smoothing out the damaged picture.
