When Shen Liangchuan drove back to Beijing, it was already late night.

The villa’s neighborhood was very quiet, and the street lights gave out a yellow light.

He had sent Song Yuanxi back to villa 18 before driving back to villa 8.

As he approached the villa, he felt more anxious.

At that moment, he felt ambivalent about returning home. It was something he had never felt in the past.

What if she mentioned divorce again, after she saw him return home?

However, could there also be the possibility that… she had changed her mind after these two days?

Just like those times, she could already be obediently waiting for him at home when he returned from work.

Keeping this in mind, he drove into the villa.

The villa was pitch-black, except for the living room illuminated by the night light.

When he opened the door, this gave the servant in the room a shock and woke her up. With a piece of clothing draped over her shoulders, she walked out hurriedly. When she saw Shen Liangchuan, she was surprised. “Mr Shen, you are back? Would you like something to eat? Or do you have other plans?”

Shen Liangchuan pressed his lips together and peered upstairs. Then he said nonchalantly, “Is Madam asleep?”

The servant was taken aback. “Huh?”

Shen Liangchuan replied, “What?”

“A- After you left the other day, Madam packed a suitcase with her belongings and left as well…”

The more she spoke, the softer her voice was. She could already feel the gloominess Shen Liangchuan was exuding.

Just when he was going to head upstairs, he stopped, turned around and gave her a cold stare.

That cold stare of his almost made the insignificant servant freeze. Lowering her head, she did not dare to utter a single word, as she was extremely frightened.

There was a moment of silence in the room. After a while, the insignificant servant heard Shen Liangchuan say indifferently, “Oh, she went overseas to settle some things for a few days.”

Only after he finished explaining did he head upstairs.

The insignificant servant was so frightened that she froze on the spot. Actually, there was no need for Mr Shen to report Madam’s whereabouts to her!

After wiping the non-existent sweat on her forehead, she scurried back to her room.

Shen Liangchuan pushed the master bedroom door open and switched on the lights.

The room was very neat and tidy, as if there had been no changes at all.

He stood by the door and glanced at the room before entering. It was only then that he realized that she had not taken a single item that he had gifted her.

When she had moved here, she had only brought along one set of clothes. When she leaving, she had remained very candid.

There didn’t seem to be many changes from a rough overview. However Shen Liangchuan noticed that there was only one toothbrush left in the washroom, leaning against the glass cup pitifully.

In addition, there was only one towel left hanging on the wall. Her little underwear at the small corner of the closet was missing as well.

The expensive skincare products he had bought for her also stood remotely on the dressing table.

Nothing seemed to show that there had been traces of her being here before.

However, only he knew that this room had changed.

Her departure signified her determination to divorce him.

Actually, if she hadn’t been determined about this, she would not have prepared so much prior to this.

As Shen Liangchuan sat on the sofa silently, he looked at everything that had once been familiar, yet now extremely foreign to him. He could only feel a surge of endless loneliness in his heart.

Then he suddenly started laughing.

But that laughter seemed so terrifying in the dark night.

At the same time, a sense of insidiousness filled his heart.

Trying to escape, Xiao Qiao? Keep dreaming!
