Bai Yaoyao shook her head. "Look at you, you're thinking too much. I met someone who cherishes me. It's the person who came to fetch me that day. He's pretty nice. He has a villa in Ning An City. I have the key to it, so I went to take a look."
In reality, Bai Yaoyao felt really anxious and worried. Her heart would beat frantically every day, and she would even dream of Duan Yanhao in her sleep. She did not know what she was worried about, but she just felt a sense of uneasiness.
However, she did not want to influence Yun Bixue with such feelings. She was pregnant, so she should not have any troubles on her mind.
In fact, ever since the fifth day of the first lunar month, Bai Yaoyao could not control her emotions anymore. She felt uneasy and worried, and she was afraid that she would influence Yun Bixue with these feelings, so she went to Ning An City.
Over there, she need not pretend and can express her yearning openly. She can think of Duan Yanhao, worry about him there, and let her thoughts run wild.
When she came back today, she realized that it was going to be the Lantern Festival soon, so she decided to return to Country X on her own.
After lunch, Yun Bixue went to sleep, while Bai Yaoyao returned to her guest bedroom to rest.
However, she could not rest. She lay on the bed, flipping around repeatedly as her thoughts ran wild. She had only one person on her mind, and it was Duan Yanhao.
She thought of that day before New Year's Eve. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss. Judging from Duan Yanhao's words, if something had cropped up at home, it was unlike him to not give her a call at all. He would not ask her to wait patiently in Country A…
Bai Yaoyao rubbed her head. She sat upright and started to browse through the military news. It was as if reading the news on the military could put her heart at ease.
However, after she read one of the international news reports, she saw a line in the comments section. The comment was written in the language of Country X.
"The news only reports half of the truth. Our country has enforced full martial law across the board, and they're saying that war is imminent. Who knows whether that's true or not? Let's just wait quietly at home!"
That one comment made Bai Yaoyao's face turn pale. Was Country X really about to go into war?
Thinking of this possibility made Bai Yaoyao's heart tremble continuously. Her hand that was holding on to her phone started trembling as well. She immediately scrolled down the comments section and kept on reading the military news reports. However, aside from that one comment, there were no other news on Country X.
Even if it was only one comment, it was enough to make her figure it out once she connected it with Duan Yanhao's abnormal behavior. She could roughly guess what was going on.
She immediately got off the bed and ran out with her phone. She planned to return to Country X immediately. Even if there was really a war, she wanted to stay together with Duan Yanhao.
She finally figured out why Duan Yanhao made her return to Country A quickly, why he made her stay in Country A safely, and wait for him to come and fetch her.
All these were very abnormal signs, and now, she finally understood the reason behind them.
The moment she walked out of the guest room, Bai Yaoyao thought that if she just left suddenly, Bixue would be worried.
However, she knew that at this time, Bixue must be resting, so she cannot go and disturb her.
She heard sounds from the study and walked over hurriedly to knock on the door.
"Come in!"
"Young Master Xie, it's me."
"Bai Yaoyao?"
"Yes. I want to ask you something. Is war about to break out in Country X?" Bai Yaoyao felt that since Xie Limo was the heir to the Xie clan, there were certain things that he would definitely know, even if others did not.
Xie Limo frowned and raised his brow. "Why did you suddenly ask me this?"
Seeing Xie Limo's expression, Bai Yaoyao could not guess whether the news was true or not. "Even if you don't tell me, I will still go back to Country X right now."
