Chapter 208. Gradual Estrangement
Bam!
There was a heavy sound of the door closing akin to a massive hammer knocking right on Xi Xinyi’s heart, and she could not help but shudder.
She stared blankly at the door that was closed in a daze. A long while after that, she lowered her gaze and hid the loneliness expressed by her eyes. She clasped both hands tightly before thinking about it, then peered down at the sexy nightgown she had changed into and sighed. Finally, she pulled the blanket away and got down from the bed.
She quickly took her own clothes out from the wardrobe and swiftly put them on. Then, she left the bedroom.
When she reached the entrance of the study room, she saw that the light in the room was still switched on. Peeking through the gap of the door and seeing him sitting by the desk and smoking, he seemed lonely. Her beautiful eyes dimmed and she could not help but bite on her lips out of habit. Then, she said to Han Yifeng inside, “Yifeng, I’m going home now. Don’t sleep too late. I’ll worry.”
She turned around and was about to leave.
“How are you going back this late? It’s quite far to go back from here.” Han Yifeng looked up, exhaling a puff of smoke and looking at Xi Xinyi by the door. His silent eyes were filled with conflict.
Xi Xinyi sniffed a little, her voice remaining gentle yet carrying a hint of her choking on her sobs. “It’s fine, I’ll go by myself. You should rest earlier too.”
“Xinyi!” Han Yifeng frowned. He then abruptly stood up and walked quickly toward her. He held her by the hand and said, “It’s already so late right now. You should wait till tomorrow morning even if you want to go home!”
