half thorns, half joy

"It's my people who underestimated the enemy. The man with her has a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance. I haven't asked how I lost Bai Xin, but that man caught her."

Xiao Zihan explained, his brows were tightly frowned, obviously he didn't expect such a mistake to happen.

Now that Bai Xin runs away, things will be even more difficult. After all, Bai Xin still holds those photos of Huang Tingting in her hand, so she doesn't know what she can do.

Tang Xuan twisted her fingers nervously, and asked Xiao Zihan, "Is the man you caught important to Bai Xin?"

What she meant was that if that man was important, then even if Bai Xin ran away, she would not act rashly because of that man.

Xiao Zihan was silent for a moment, then stood up.

"I'll go and see for myself." When he said this, he looked at Cai Jinyu, "Jinyu, you stay here, don't go anywhere, just stay here, I'll call the bodyguards to come and guard later, if there's anything you need to do first Contact me right now."

Although Cai Jinyu really wanted to go with Xiao Zihan, but the villa is currently full of women, and he really needs a man to protect him, so he nodded, "Okay, I'll watch over here."

Tang Xuan was very reluctant to part with Xiao Zihan, but the current situation really required Xiao Zihan to solve the problem.

Reluctantly, she sent Xiao Zihan to the door, said several times to be careful, and watched Xiao Zihan leave.

Cai Jinyu went back to the room and sat down on the sofa one by one, comforting Tang Xuan who was worried about Xiao Zihan.

"Okay, don't think about what you have left. It is impossible for a Bai Xin to cause any harm to Zihan. Besides, there are bodyguards around Zihan, and they are all dead. If Zihan has anything Life is at stake, and they'll be in the front."

Tang Xuan hummed lightly, then returned to the sofa and sat down.

She knew that Bai Xin couldn't do anything to Xiao Zihan, but worrying about this kind of emotion had nothing to do with reason.

There was such a big incident at home, the nanny stayed in the small room and didn't come out. Seeing that it was past dinner time and there was no noise in the living room, she came out, walked up to Tang Xuan and said cautiously, "Dinner is ready." alright.

With all the trouble like this, no one had the appetite to eat, but people are like iron and steel, so it's impossible not to eat, so Tang Xuan asked Cai Jinyu to go to the restaurant first, and she went to the bedroom to call Huang Tingting.

"Tingting, I'm coming in."

The bedroom door was unlocked, so Tang Xuan pushed the door open and walked in.

Huang Tingting was still on the bed, wrapping herself tightly in the quilt, with only a small piece of hair exposed.

"Tingting, get up and eat something." Tang Xuan walked over, put her hand on the raised quilt, and patted it lightly.

Huang Tingting in the quilt didn't say a word, only moved slightly.

"Tingting, you've been tossing around all day today, and you're tired. We still have a lot of things to deal with right now. If you don't eat, you don't have the energy. How can you get through it?"

After a long time, Huang Tingting in the quilt said a word.

"……I'm not hungry."

Seeing Huang Tingting like this, Tang Xuan couldn't go out to eat, so instead of forcing Huang Tingting to get up, she went to the kitchen and brought two bowls of side dishes and a bowl of rice, and put them on Huang Tingting's bedside.

"Tingting, no matter what, you have to eat a little. We still have a lot to do, so you have to cheer up."

Huang Tingting still wrapped herself in the quilt without saying a word.

Tang Xuan sighed and left the room.

"How is she?" Cai Jinyu asked Tang Xuan when they arrived at the restaurant.

Tang Xuan shook her head, pulled out her chair and sat down.

Cai Jinyu, as a man who had had skin-to-skin relationship with Huang Tingting, wanted to care about her but felt that her identity was wrong, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Although he sympathized with Huang Tingting's experience, after all, he was not someone he liked with all his heart, so he just sympathized and had no other emotions.

Tang Xuan had something on her mind, and she couldn't eat more than half a bowl. After dinner, the nanny took care of cleaning up, and she and Cai Jinyu went back to the living room again.

The two of them had nothing to say, they just sat there blankly, thinking about their own thoughts.

The villa is quiet and quiet. This is a suburb, and there are few cars on the road outside. It is especially quiet at night.

Time is also flowing quietly. If outsiders come in at this time, they will definitely feel that the silence is very peaceful, instead of thinking that something big has happened.

In a blink of an eye, it was night.

"Okay, let's stop sitting like this and go back to our room to sleep." Cai Jinyu yawned, stood up, and said to Tang Xuan who was hugging the pillow.

Tang Xuan rubbed her sore eyes and nodded.

Cai Jinyu was about to ask Tang Xuan to prepare a guest room for her, but she suddenly remembered that Tang Xuan didn't know that this house belonged to Xiao Zihan. So far, Tang Xuan thought that this house belonged to him.

So, he didn't cause much trouble, and went upstairs to find a room to sleep by himself.

"Young Madam, you should also rest, it's getting late." After Cai Jinyu left, the nanny came over and urged Tang Xuan.

"I'm fine, you can go to bed first." Tang Xuan forced the corners of her mouth into a smile, got up and walked to Huang Tingting's room. "I'll go see if Tingting is asleep, I'll sleep with her, you don't have to worry about me."

The nanny couldn't control Tang Xuan and couldn't help her, so she could only go down to rest.

Tang Xuan entered Huang Tingting's room, and immediately saw the snack plate on the bedside table. The food in the plate was well placed and untouched.

"Hey..." Tang Xuan sighed again.

She sat on the edge of the bed and went to pull Huang Tingting, "Tingting, why haven't you eaten? You didn't eat much at noon today, and you will starve to death if you are so hungry."

Huang Tingting was turned away by Tang Xuan, revealing a pair of red and swollen eyes from crying.

She closed her fragile eyes under the glare of the light, and she showed a loveless face, and said angrily, "Xuanxuan, I don't have an appetite, so leave me alone."

"I know you don't have an appetite." Tang Xuan gently stroked the back of Huang Tingting's hand to comfort her, "No one has an appetite when encountering such a thing, but no matter what, you still have to face it. The road has come here, you must go on.”

Huang Tingting's closed eyes opened a gap, and she laughed miserably, "Do I have to face it, but Xuanxuan, I really want to escape."

Tang Xuan: "..."

Huang Tingting: "In the past, I always hoped that I would be the center of attention, that I would be the focus and be the object of everyone's attention, but now, I hope that the whole world will forget about me and let me disappear quietly, silently."

Tang Xuan: "...Tingting."

Seeing Huang Tingting's lifeless state, Tang Xuan was really worried. Instead of going back to her bedroom, she curled up and lay down on Huang Tingting's bed.

She thought to herself, pass the night first, wait for Huang Tingting's parents to come over tomorrow, and then explain what happened tomorrow.

Tang Xuan fell asleep in a daze. She didn't sleep well, and would wake up from time to time. After being awakened, she glanced at Huang Tingting beside her, and then continued to sleep.

At dawn, she woke up again.

But this time, Huang Tingting was no longer by her side.

Instead, there was a strong smell of blood wafting from the bathroom in the bedroom.
