She pulled the quilt and touched the area next to her out of habit. There was no one there and the pillow was cold.

The moonlight shone in through the curtains. Ye Jiaqi looked at his phone drowsily. It was past two o'clock in the night and he didn't come back.

I thought he had gone to sleep in the study or another room, but when I got up in the morning, I still didn't see him.

"Morning, madam." The servant was already cleaning the house.

"Where's sir?" Ye Jiaqi asked.

"Sir didn't come back last night."

"Oh." Ye Jiaqi didn't ask much. These servants didn't know either.

Qiao Chengfan went to school after breakfast. Little Yuzi went to learn English with the foreign teacher. Ye Jiaqi didn't plan to go out, so he sat on the balcony and read a book alone.

Occasionally she would go to the small study to see little Yuzi and see how she was doing with her studies, or teach the little girl how to read English and play games and crafts with her.

Josnian rarely stayed up at night, especially after being with her.

She didn't expect that Josnian would be very angry this time and didn't return to Qiao's house for several days. When the servant called him, he just replied lightly that he was busy.

Ye Jiaqi didn't take the initiative to call him, and he didn't call her either.

Ye Jiaqi knew that he was losing his temper, but she didn't think she was at fault. He lost his temper when he got angry, and she didn't want to coax him.

Qiao Chengfan was very busy studying. It was normal for him not to see Lao Qiao and he didn't ask any questions.

Little Yuzi will occasionally ask: "Where is Daddy?"

The little girl is very forgetful and has forgotten what Josnian taught her.

Ye Jiaqi thought that it would be nice if she was as forgetful as the little girl. She didn't have to care about these things, but she had a good memory.

She never felt that it was her fault.

Josnian didn't come home for three or four days in a row. Ye Jiaqi was very sad. She didn't know why a man was so fussy. She went to buy medicine just because she didn't want to make the same mistake she did eight years ago.

The way he quarreled with her a few days ago, he looked like he wanted to eat her.

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became, Ye Jiaqi sat by the goldfish pond in Qiao's house, silently feeding into the fish pond, with a listless luster in his eyes.

I sat alone by the fish pond all afternoon.

She didn't even eat dinner that night. She took a shower silently and sat on the balcony of her bedroom, looking at the bright starry sky and pouring herself a glass of red wine.

She counted the days. He would go to Malaysia on a business trip tomorrow. If he didn't come back tonight, he wouldn't come back for a long time.

After drinking a glass of wine, Ye Jiaqi looked at the night sky sadly, sitting on the carpet and hugging his knees, with a dull luster in his eyes.

The phone was at hand, but it never rang.

Why did he bully her like this?

Ye Jiaqi lowered her head. Her long hair fell on both sides of her knees, covering half of her face. There was a confused look on her face.

Outside the window is the endless night, with no end in sight.

The alcohol was a bit strong, and although she didn't drink much, her body still felt warm.

She picked up her phone and silently dialed a familiar number.

About seven or eight seconds later, Josnian picked up: "Hello."

"Where are you?"

"There's something going on outside."

"Oh." Ye Jiaqi listened carefully and heard the voices of men and women. They were very mixed and... lively, like a club or something.

She remained silent for a long time.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

"It's okay. Aren't you going on a business trip tomorrow? Drink less."

"Know."
