Nothing had changed along the streets, but it felt as though everything was different now.

He walked silently as he looked at the lively scenes along the streets. He breathed in the festive atmosphere, but his face was devoid of any happiness.

As he strolled, he noticed a woman on the opposite street. After taking just a glance at her, his entire body went numb with shock.

Chu Fei'er. It was Chu Fei'er! Judging from her behavior up to her appearance, it was definitely her!

An Yexuan didn't care about the red traffic light and dashed across the road frantically.

However, when he arrived on the other side, Chu Fei'er was nowhere to be found.

At that moment, "Chu Fei'er" had already entered a building. She was observing An Yexuan, who was searching for her anxiously, through the gla.s.s window.

Xie Wu said to the fake Chu Fei'er, "s.h.i.+liu, Young Master Xie said that we should leave him hanging. You ought to prepare to return to serve him after the new year."

Xie s.h.i.+liu nodded and said coolly, "I know. Can a person like that hurt Young Madam?"

Thinking about how An Yexuan had hurt Young Madam, a cold glint flashed across Xie s.h.i.+liu's eyes.

Xie Wu said, "s.h.i.+liu, you can't look that way. Chu Fei'er appears very gentle and obedient in front of An Yexuan."

"Don't worry. I won't expose myself in front of him."

After the two of them left, An Yexuan was still searching for "Chu Fei'er" frantically. He even asked the pa.s.sersby. A few hours had pa.s.sed, and it was almost noon, but An Yexuan still hadn't found "Chu Fei'er."

He laughed at himself mockingly. Perhaps his eyes had been playing tricks on him. Had he been imagining things?

He thought that since he was no longer the heir of the An family, Chu Fei'er didn't want to look for him anymore even though she had returned.

An Yexuan stood beneath the merciless sun and raised his head. His head began to spin, and he almost lost consciousness. Suddenly, something cast a shadow over him.

An Yexuan turned around and was taken aback. His heart sank as he said, "Majesty Huang?"

A cold glint flashed across Xiajun Yanli's eyes as he looked at An Yexuan. He instructed calmly, "An Yexuan, come with me."

"Majesty Huang, I…"

"Let's go. I'll take you to the best doctor."

An Yexuan frowned. Why did he need to visit a doctor?

"Majesty Huang, I'm fine."

"An Yexuan, you've changed drastically. You've become rash and easily triggered. Have you not thought that something is wrong?"

An Yexuan had helped Hao'er's mother before, and he couldn't allow An Yexuan to continue living such a life. He ought to lend him a helping hand.

He also wished that An Yexuan could return to normal.

An Yexuan shook his head and refused, "Majesty Huang, I'm really fine. I don't need to visit the doctor."

Seeing how determined An Yexuan was, Xiajun Yanli could only sigh, "Okay, but if you change your mind one day, you can look for me."

Ever since he met An Yexuan previously, Xiajun Yanli suspected that there was some uncontrollable evil force in this world. Seeing that glint in An Yexuan's eyes, his suspicions grew even stronger, that's why he wanted to take An Yexuan to a doctor. If the doctor could heal him and return him to his previous bright and cheerful state, he would have returned the favor of him helping Hao'er's mother.

An Yexuan nodded. He thought that he didn't need to seek treatment from any doctor, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

At that moment, however, An Yexuan would never have imagined that it would be too late when he finally sought help.

…

At noon, Ji Qiongxin and Xie Yaocang alighted the plane. With several bags with them, they headed towards Xie Limo's villa.
