I walked into the villa with my head down, and everything around me was bleak. Where is Qi Shaoyao now? What is he doing? My heart is uneasy, even if I have a premonition that something big will happen, I can only wait inadvertently.

As soon as I entered, I saw a gracefully dressed lady leaning on a gorgeous European-style sofa with her legs crossed. There was a young woman standing beside her, with a rummovered suitcase at her feet, and the black dress she was carrying in her hand was very familiar!

"What are you doing?" I said, staring at the dress she was gesturing with on her chest, "Put my clothes back!"

The woman was stunned, and her eyes widened in disbelief at me, and the lady stood up.

"Yo!" she reacted quickly, grabbed the dress in her daughter-in-law's hand and threw it on the ground! "Where did I get this box of garbage! It turned out to be Qi, Er, Shao, Milk, Milk, back!"

Complicated titles, she emphasized the pronunciation of "two".

I smiled coldly, did she mean my luggage, or did I mean the person? If my clothes were garbage, they still had plans to try on garbage? If I was garbage, then I'm sorry, my "garbage" is still living in this "garbage can"!

"Pick it up!" I said, gesturing to the clothes on the ground.

"Huh!" the eldest lady raised her haughty head contemptuously.

"Sister-in-law—" A shrill voice echoed in the air in the living room. Soon, a row of unfamiliar faces appeared in front of me, all of them wearing the uniforms of the Qi family's servants.

"The eldest and youngest grandmothers have already inspected this box of things just now, and you return it to the second and young grandmothers!"

"Oh. The old woman at the head ran over in small steps, picked up my clothes, and looked up, she couldn't be sure if I was the "second and young grandmother".

The sluggish "big and young grandmothers" finally came back to their senses at this time, "You see I forgot to introduce, this sister-in-law Zhang is a new and new maid six years ago, no wonder she doesn't know you, the previous sister-in-law Lin who loved you a lot, has already rolled up and left before you, do you remember?"

Of course I remember that she just felt sorry for me and sat in the living room waiting for Qi Shaoyao alone in the winter, and kindly helped me with a cup of hot water, and was dismissed the next day! I still remember her resentful look at me before leaving, but unfortunately I couldn't help her, because on the same day, I also made some bedding and said goodbye to the Qi family, and even walked more embarrassed than her!

I snorted coldly, where am I still in the mood to quarrel now? Sister-in-law Zhang stood in front of me with her clothes in her hands, I ignored her, stepped over the suitcase, and went upstairs.

The caustic voice of the eldest lady came from behind -

"Sister-in-law Zhang, help the eldest and youngest grandmothers carry the things of the second and younger grandmothers upstairs!"

No matter how disdainful they are, I have to accept the fact that I exist in this family, because at this moment, it is Qi Shaoyao who is in charge of the Qi family, not the arrogant and domineering Qi Shaoyi who was as arrogant as them before!

Night soon came.

The stars in winter are different from those in summer nights, they are very high and far away, as if there is a powerful suction force that can catch you at any time, throw you out of the distant world, and drift in unknown space.

The surroundings were so quiet, without Qi Shaoyao's soft snoring, I was not steady, and I couldn't feel at ease.

Sit on the windowsill overlooking the deserted courtyard.

I was waiting for him, anxious and stunned, but it was very different from six years ago. Six years ago I sat here waiting for him, and at least I knew that he was drunk at a bar, or in someone's arms, but now, I can't imagine what he was doing, and he didn't say a word—

No, he left a sentence, a sentence of indeterminacy.

"Everything I do is for our family...... A home that truly belongs to Qi Shaoyao and Gao Yufei......"

Our Home ...... The golden nest and silver nest are also home, and the dog nest and grass nest are also home...... It's me asking too much, too much. I don't know how to cherish when you're around, and I have to force you away to understand that a place with you is home. In your arms, the walls of the family are also warm, without you, no matter how much wealth there is, it is all empty talk, it is a golden rose that I can never bear, the tip of the thorn pierces into the palm of the hand, oozing a drop of blood, hinting at the price of beauty.

"Mom......" The door was gently pushed open, and a cold breeze passed through the hall. Xin Xin huddled at the door with a quilt.

"Mom...... Can I sleep with you?"

Seeing her pitiful appearance, my heart softened, and I walked over and took her into my arms. "Good...... Sleeping with my mother...... "The mountain that sheltered us from the wind and rain was not there, leaving only our mother and daughter to warm each other."

Xinxin nestled in my arms, and I gently patted her on the back, but she stared at me with two big bright eyes.

I burst into a smile and said, "Sleep...... Huh?"

Maybe my smile was too bitter, Xinxin shook her head: "Mom...... I'm afraid ......"

"Afraid of what?" I asked casually, but I was also afraid. I'm scared because I'm not sure if Qi Shaoyao is safe at the moment. But how could I let Xinxin see the fear in my heart, she was still just a child.

I smiled again: "Mom has always been by your side, sleep......"

"Where's Daddy?" she asked suddenly.

Did this sensitive child perceive it too?

"Daddy just came back a little later......"

Xin Xin nodded obediently and shrunk into my arms: "Then wait for Dad to come back, if I fall asleep, Mom won't let Dad carry me back to my room!"

"Okay......" I agreed, moving down, resting my chin on her soft hair. I know that Qi Shaoyao has always paid great attention to cultivating children's independence, and has let her sleep alone since she was a child, and Xinxin is also used to it, and she is not afraid, but today she is very timid.

She raised her head from my arms uneasily: "Mom......" bit her lip and stopped talking.

"Huh?" I asked in a low voice.

She paused, and finally spoke: "Mom...... I saw my uncle......"

Qi Shaoyi!?

Isn't Qi Shaoyi dead? I want to dispel her doubts with my firm tone: "Xinxin is just a dream......"

"But it seems to be true...... And...... Uncle also said he was going to take me to play......"

"Oh......" I slowly patted her on the back to lull her to sleep, I thought that the child would have to tell the nightmare to feel at ease, so I didn't stop her from talking, just closed my eyes and listened quietly.

Xinxin didn't want to go, and the uncle said that he was so lonely there that he had to accompany Xinxin, and said that his parents would come to Xinxin soon...... Then his hand reached over, and Xin Xin was scared away...... "She tightened my collar," Mom ...... Xinxin is so scared...... Is Uncle going to take Xinxin to his place?"

"Nonsense!" I suddenly hugged her tightly! A chill fluttered behind my back, and cold sweat broke out unconsciously!

"We don't go anywhere, only by Mom and Dad!" I was afraid that if I didn't protect her at this time, she would disappear from my arms immediately!

I hugged her tightly and took her little hand in the palm of my hand. Feeling her body temperature and mine melt together, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Xinxin was still a child after all, and he was sleepy while talking, so he found a comfortable posture and fell asleep.

But my heart was beating wildly for no reason.

Why did Xin Xin have such a dream? What is Qi Shaoyi hinting at us? I have never been a superstitious person, I reprimanded myself for not scaring myself, but my sore head seemed to be unable to stop running, as if there was a fog in front of me, hazy and miserable white, I couldn't see clearly, and I couldn't figure it out.

"Xin Xin is not afraid...... Mommy accompanies you......" I murmured, as if telling her, more like telling myself.

No matter what happens, no matter where you go, I will always be with you...... And your father...... We are a family, always together......

Slowly my eyelids became heavy, and my body fell into a dark abyss, and I wanted to struggle, but I couldn't stop it from falling.

There was a slight noise in the door.

I shuddered! I was dragged out of that abyss! I was drenched in a cold sweat!

Lift half of your body and look at the closed door.

"Who?"

The quiet air in the room didn't seem to be moving.

I held my breath, and the door didn't move. The cold sweat on his back was soaked by the cold, and he couldn't help but shiver.

I glanced at my daughter who was sleeping next to me, helped her fold the quilt, and I slowly got out of bed.

From the bed to the door, there is a glass partition in the middle, I hold the partition and look out, the door is still closed, just the back against the partition sofa, the cushion is a little messy!

Somebody's been here! He's been sitting here!

"Haruka, is that you?" I slowly stepped forward and opened the door. Except for Qi Shaoyao, no one in this family will come to my room.

Sure enough, it's Qi Shaoyao!

He was standing in the hallway with his back to me!

I breathed a sigh of relief, "Haruka, you're back?"

The back trembled, and suddenly he laughed, and the laughter was low and deep, like a voice from hell!

"I'm going to congratulate you...... Congratulations on finally coming back...... Back to Qi's ......"

He slowly turned his head, a smile pulling an eerie line on his face......

Ahh
