Chapter 907: Xiao Qiao, Where Are You? (6)

Drained of all energy, Shen Liangchuan’s arms fell to his sides.

He shut his eyes with extreme pain.

With the matter of Soul Fighter separating them, Qiao Lian had now left him out of guilt.

But…

He didn’t want her to leave.

He missed her.

Shen Liangchuan struggled to stand up and walked to the bedroom.

Pus.h.i.+ng the door, he found that her belongings were all gone.

Perhaps she was afraid that it would be a sad reminder for him, hence, she had restored the room back to the way it was before she had moved in.

Everything was simple and clean.

There was no trace of her ever being there.

Shen Liangchuan dropped his gaze.

It finally landed on a stain on the carpet.

On one particular occasion, she had spilled her coffee accidentally.

Because it had not been dry-cleaned, it had left a mark.

At that time, she had laughed it off and said with no sign of guilt, “Why does the house have to be so clean? Some dirt around will make it look like someone lives in it.”

Yet now…

There was only one sign that reminded him she had once lived in this house.

He slowly knelt before this spot.

His eyes were fixed on this spot on the carpet.

Finally, with a slight quiver of his lips, tears fell down his cheeks.

Xiao Qiao, where are you?

When will you… come home?

A sorrowful expression appeared on his face.

He hung his head, unable to control his emotions anymore.

–

The plane drew an arc across the sky.

Qiao Lian was sitting in one of the pa.s.senger seats, with scenes of her recent parting with Qiao Yi flas.h.i.+ng through her mind.

He had looked at her and asked, “Sis, you’re really leaving Brother-in-law?”

She had kept silent.

He didn’t pursue the matter.

He only looked at her and said, “Sis, I only want you to be happy.”

Indeed.

Happiness!

They would only be able to start afresh with their lives if she left him and they each went their own way, leaving the past behind.

And only then would Shen Liangchuan get better.

By now, they would have discovered she had left.

What could Shen Liangchuan be doing at this moment?

Was he holding the letter that she had left behind, feeling sad?

But…

With her gone now, he should be able to get a good sleep.

She smiled at the thought of this.

But the tears fell uncontrollably.

Don’t cry.

Don’t cry, Xiao Qiao.

Sometimes two people who love each other don’t have to be together.

It was good enough by just knowing that the other person was happily alive.

Qiao Lian hung her head and buried her face in her palms, as the tears were slipping between her fingers.

“Miss, are you feeling alright?”

She heard the sweet and gentle flight attendant speak to her in her sorrow.

Qiao Lian looked up quickly and with a wave of her hand said, “No, I—”

But as soon as she spoke, she felt her gut churn and it only made her feel terrible.

She stood up at once as the flight attendant helped her to the restroom, where she finally threw up.

The nausea she was feeling made her even sadder.

The flight attendant asked, “Miss, how are you feeling? Do we need to get you a doctor?”

Qiao Lian waved to dismiss the suggestion.

But she was now stunned.

Nausea, throwing up.

This felt like…

She searched her memory. Her period this month… it hadn’t come?

She bit her lip.

It couldn’t be what she was thinking… or was it?
