After driving for four hours, Xue Qi finally arrived at his grave in shock.
He frowned, staring at the tombstone with a complicated expression for a long time, before he moved forward. He crouched down and knocked aside the dirt on the ring. A ring that had long been wrapped in dirt appeared in his sight.
Xue Qi raised his lips in shock, picked up the ring and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, after which, he carefully wiped off the dirt on the ring.
"You little fool, who are you going to give the ring to when you bury it here?" When the original color of the ring had been rubbed out by him, he then put the ring on his lips and kissed, then solemnly put the ring on his finger, letting out a satisfied smile.
He got up to leave, but couldn't help looking around him, his heart sinking as he thought of the scene in the photo. Xue Qi raised his hand in shock, carefully glancing at the ring on his finger, only to find out that it was a perfect match with the ring that he had given to her. He felt an inexplicably warm feeling in his heart.
Xue Qi paused for a while in shock in the graveyard, then got back into his car and drove away.
Within the Xue Clan villa, almost everyone was going crazy.
Mingxi was so anxious that Sister Ling and the others didn't even let go of their eyebrows when she said she wanted to eat something.
"Young Mistress, can you have some more chicken soup?" Sister Ling sent for a bowl of chicken soup and sat on the edge of the bed to feed it to her.
On the other hand, Tantai Xi shook her head. Her mind was extremely muddle-headed, she didn't want to eat anything at all. She just wanted to fall asleep. In her dreams, she could still see him.
"Young Mistress, if you don't eat something, your body won't be able to take it!" Sister Ling asked worriedly.
However, Tantai Xi suddenly curled her lips and said in a soft but excited voice, "Sister Ling, did you know? Last night, I dreamed of him again! He's smiling at me! "
"Young Mistress!" Sister Ling shouldn't have said anything in that moment.
"Sister Ling, go out first. I want to sleep for a while longer. Maybe I can even dream about him!" Ming Xi moved her body and tried to fall asleep, but Sister Ling refused.
"Young Mistress, if you don't eat again, the child in your belly will be gone. At that time, the Young Master will probably blame you! " Sister Ling could only bring out the frightened Xue Qi to suppress her.
Sure enough, upon hearing Sister Ling's words, Ming Xi immediately got out of bed. He sat up and took the bowl from her hands. He then took a gulp of the soup. Ming Xi spat it out as soon as the soup entered his mouth.
"Young Mistress, this soup is very hot. Is it scalding?" Sister Ling patted her back in panic. However, she was crying on the edge of the bed. Hot tears mixed with the soup in her mouth fell onto the cold floor.
"Young Mistress, why are you crying again?" Seeing her like that, Sister Ling regretted saying what she had just said.
Ming Xi lay motionless on the bed, looking at the floor quietly. After a long while, she finally opened her mouth and said, "I'm not crying. I'm just being burned!" She was crying. She was crying because she was in such a sorry state. She really didn't have him, and she couldn't even find the courage to live on.
"Young Mistress, cry out if you feel bad. There's still a long way to go!"
Ming Xi shook her head. Her life wasn't long at all. When she gave birth to her child, she would return to accompany him. However, she felt that her life was still very long. In less than a second, she felt as if it was as long as a century …
"Young Mistress, Minghan and the four brothers of the Tang Clan have been keeping watch outside the entire time. Do you want me to ask them to come in and chat with you?" Sister Ling laid her body on the bed and asked the maid to change the dirty quilt. She then used a hot handkerchief to wipe the soup at the corner of Ming Xi's mouth, as well as the ones on her hands.
"No need!" Ming Xi said lightly.
"Young Mistress, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll do it myself! " Sister Ling smiled. "Young Mistress, even if you really can't eat, you still have to think about the child in your womb. Just because you don't want to eat, doesn't mean that it doesn't want to eat either, right?" Sister Ling coaxed in a low voice.
Ming Xi was silent for a moment before she whispered, "Sister Ling, I want to eat shrimp porridge tonight." She remembered that Xue Qi cooked it for her.
"Alright, I'll cook it for you tonight. Now, you have to eat something!" Sister Ling reached out and took another bowl of chicken soup from the maid. He already knew that Ming Xi would be in trouble, so he prepared a lot of bowls at the same time.
Ming Xi had learnt her lesson this time. She didn't cry nor make a fuss. She opened her mouth and drank. However, after another five gulps, she finally spat them all out.
"Young mistress, what are you eating and drinking now? You …"
Seeing how worried Sister Ling was, Ming Xi could only smile. "Sister Ling, I don't want chicken soup these days. Can you change to something else?"
"Young Mistress, then you rest first. I'll help you prepare it immediately!" Sister Ling frowned and left the room with the three maids.
Night soon arrived.
Sister Ling walked into the room with a bowl of shrimp porridge and bone soup. Ming Xi was sleeping soundly. It was a rare sight for her to see her sleeping so peacefully. She turned her head to look at the clock on the wall. It was only eight o'clock. At nine o'clock, she would wake up.
Sister Ling asked the maid to put all the food on the cabinet nearby before carefully taking them out of the room. She came in again at nine to give her something to eat.
Xue Qi took advantage of the darkness of the night and drove the car to a forest not far away from the Xue Clan. Then, he walked to the wall and raised his head to take a look.
When his entire body firmly landed on the ground, Xue Qi finally frowned in shock. He was the owner of this place, yet he actually had to sneakily climb over the fence to get in.
The faint pain still came from his right hand and back, however, all of this did not affect his movements in the slightest. After bypassing the security guards, Xue Qi rushed back to the main house in a great shock.
He raised his head and saw that the room on the third floor was completely dark. He immediately knew that there was no one in the room right now, thus, with the help of the balcony and windows, it took him less than three minutes to climb up to the third floor.
Gently opening the window, he swiftly and agilely entered the room …
