Xi Yemo looked at his woman, and saw at first glance that she was awake because her breathing was erratic and her eyelashes were trembling slightly.
"I was planning to go after my wife woke up, but there's no time now." Mr. Xi sighed softly.
Listening to him, Lan Xin Ai was in disbelief. She thought, 'He just returned last night, why is he leaving so quickly? He must be fooling me again. I'm not going to fall for that this time.'
"Wife, goodbye."
Lan Xin Ai felt a warm kiss, and her little fingers moved involuntarily, which made the man by her side chuckle.
Tip-tap!
The footsteps grew fainter and fainter.
The air was incredibly still. Lan Xin Ai waited a while before she slowly opened her eyes. The large bedroom was empty, with no trace of the man.
The young woman blinked her large eyes, as if everything that happened earlier was just a dream. But, she knew it wasn't.
"Husband." She called out softly.
There was no answer.
"Husband, you're not allowed to fool me."
