When the song ended, Fuying walked towards him, slightly out of breath.

Ye Sijue's lips curled slightly as he was about to get up, but suddenly the girl in the red dress in front of him became somewhat blurry. His legs went weak, and he sat back down in the chair.

Fuying's footsteps approached him little by little. He looked up, but his vision was still blurry.

"Fuying... do you feel uncomfortable anywhere...?" Ye Sijue shook his head, trying to get rid of the dizzying feeling, and the red figure in his eyes gradually became clearer.

It wasn't until he saw the girl's cold face, her eyes as if frozen, completely different from her gentle and serene face just moments before, that he realized he had underestimated her.

"Heh..." Ye Sijue sneered, gripping the armrest of the chair tightly, trying to get up with his last bit of strength, but he soon succumbed to the effects of the drug and fell into a deep sleep.

Fu Ying's heart pounded. She walked to his side and gently shook him a few times. "Ye Sijue? Ye Sijue? How are you? Are you alright?"

The man's long eyelashes drooped down, leaving a gray shadow on his eyelids, without any reaction.

Fu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the special sleeping potion that Sister Momo gave her was indeed more effective. She should have used it directly last time.

She opened Ye Sijue's suit pocket and found the pass inside.

She sent all the servants in the manor to rest, and the whole villa was peaceful.

Everyone thought she and Ye Sijue would have a pleasant night, but no one expected that she had already taken Xiaoxi's work clothes beforehand, disguised herself, and left the villa with a pass.

Based on her observations at the villa's entrance some time ago, there is a gap of about 5 minutes every day at 3 a.m., when the guards change shifts, during which no one patrols.

Almost all of these guards had seen Fuying before, and she was afraid of being recognized by them, so she had to avoid them.

Fu Ying hid in a corner, and from a distance, she saw the previous guards leave the gate and head towards the handover area. She immediately ran over with her pass.

Suddenly, the security guard at the gate shouted in a cold voice, "Halt! Who goes there? Why are you leaving the manor so late?"

Fu Ying took out her pass and shook the shopping bag in her hand. "Miss Fu Ying said she wanted to eat the sesame cakes from West Street. That sesame cake shop is so popular that people start queuing up before dawn every day. We live in a remote area, so the young master instructed me to buy them early so that Miss Fu Ying could eat them while they're hot."

The security guard strolled out slowly, but Fu Ying felt like she was on fire, wishing she could rush in and smash the pass in his face.

"Let me see." The security guard took the pass and glanced at it, seemingly finding nothing wrong. He then began to look her up and down. "Are you the maid responsible for taking care of Miss Fuying?"

"Yes, yes, I'm new here, and Sister Xiaoxi is a bit overwhelmed by herself."

The security guard asked a few questions but didn't find anything wrong. Since Fuying had a pass, he opened the iron gate and let her out.

The moment she stepped out of the manor gate, Fuying took off running like crazy.

As she ran, she took off her maid's uniform, and soon she was dressed up, revealing a black suspender mini-skirt underneath.

Ye Sijue's manor is by the sea. To leave, one must take the earliest flight back to the city and then fly away.

Fu Ying looked at the timetable on her wrist. The rising sun in the distance gradually swallowed the original darkness, and the warm sunlight fell on her face, while the sea breeze blew freely past her ears.

At that moment, she finally felt the taste of freedom.

The book says that if loving someone makes you lose yourself, then that person is not worth your love.

She didn't understand this saying before, and naively thought that everything in the world could be changed by love. Now she realizes how ridiculous she was in the past.

She took her backpack out of the shopping bag and pulled out the phone she had stolen from Ye Sijue.

During the time she was trapped in the manor, Ye Sijue forbade her to use any electronic devices, nor allowed the servants to send any messages out for her. She disappeared for almost half a month. Sister Momo must have been worried sick!

Fu Ying turned on her phone and, sure enough, received countless message notifications and missed calls. Besides Gu Momo, there were also calls from Gu Wanrou and Li Zhanfeng.

Looking at these red notification numbers, Fuying felt a lump in her throat for no reason. These were all proof that she was cared for and remembered.

Fortunately, she has now escaped successfully, and she never wants to go back to Ye Sijue's side!

Fu Ying wiped away her tears and dialed Gu Momo's return call.

It was the early hours of the morning in Country L. Gu Momo was half asleep when she heard the phone ringing. In order not to wake Li Zhanting, she picked up her phone and went to the balcony. She saw that the caller ID showed that it was Fu Ying, who had disappeared.

Her hands were trembling with excitement. As soon as she answered the phone, she burst out yelling, "Fuying! Where have you been all this time? How long has your phone been off? I've had people looking for you for ages, do you know that? Are you trying to scare me to death?"

Although she was fierce, Fuying felt incredibly happy upon hearing her voice, so happy that she almost lost her voice and could only sob incessantly.

Gu Momo was stunned for a moment, then her heart softened, and she couldn't bear to scold her anymore. She asked softly, "Fuying, what happened? Where are you now? I'll send someone to pick you up right away, okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Fuying cried even harder, her previously restrained sobs turning into loud wailing, with constant sobbing and crying.

Gu Momo didn't press further, but quietly stayed with her until she had cried enough and the sobbing gradually subsided. Only then did she ask, "Are you feeling any better now?"

"Mmm." Fuying sniffed. "Sister Momo, I will never be willful again. I will listen to you obediently, not think about anything else, just stay by your side and help you with things. I will not go anywhere else."

Upon hearing this, Gu Momo felt no joy, only worry for the child.

In her heart, Fuying was like her own younger sister. Ever since Fuying started working for her, she had never wronged her or forced her to do things she didn't want to do.

As for Fu Ying, she had become accustomed to living a carefree life, as if she could easily gloss over any painful experience.

She just couldn't do that with Ye Sijue.

Gu Momo had a gut feeling that Fu Ying's disappearance during this period must be related to Ye Sijue, but hearing her cry so sadly, she couldn't bear to ask any more questions. She just said softly, "Where are you? I'll send someone to pick you up and take you home."
