——
Ning Qing had been locked up for a whole week.
In the past week, she had not seen anyone else other than the servants who brought her meals.
The sound of the car from downstairs was no longer heard.
The maid who brought her food kept her mouth shut. No matter what she asked, she would not say a word.
She knew that Nian lie must have instructed her to do so.
She could also guess that the reason he hadn't returned for so many days was because he had gone to see Bai Qingqing.
However, what she did not know was that the man returned every day. His car was parked far away at the intersection, and he would walk back every time.
She had thought that he wasn't around, but in fact, he was in the study and the bedroom next to hers. He had never returned late.
Outside, the wind was blowing and the clouds were changing unpredictably.
Her world was calm and numb, but it was as stable as ever.
