“Xia Xia…”

Mo Jingchen opened his dark eyes sleepily, and subconsciously reached out to hug her in his arms, but he did not touch the softness he felt last night.

His blurred eyes suddenly became clear.

He rolled his eyes and glanced around the room.

"Xia Xia." Mo Jingchen shouted towards the bathroom.

There was no response in the silent room.

He murmured to himself: "Could it be that Xia Xia is up?"

Mo Jingchen immediately sat up from the bed, and the light and soft silk quilt slid down to his abdomen as he stood up.

His tight and strong chest appeared in the air, clearly visible.

Mo Jingchen's chest and back looked like they had been scratched by a cat's claws, with several scratches of varying depths on his delicate white skin.

He bent down, reached out to pick up the clothes scattered on the carpet beside the bed, put on his pants quietly, and then walked to the closet with his chest bare.

Mo Jingchen raised his hand and opened the door of the closet. He looked over and all he saw was black.

The few white shirts hanging on the closet rack can be completely ignored.

Most of his clothes are business-style.

Mo Jingchen went to the bathroom and changed his pants as quickly as possible.

He buttoned up his black shirt and walked toward the bedroom door.

Mo Jingchen walked down the stairs, "Xia Xia, are you there?"

He noticed that the living room was quiet, and one of his eyes jumped without warning.

"Xia Xia?"

Mo Jingchen looked around the villa but couldn't find Li Xia. His eyebrows were furrowed.

Mo Jingchen glanced at a set of neatly folded men's pajamas placed on the sofa in the living room.

He then turned around and took two steps at a time up the stairs. After returning to the bedroom, Mo Jingchen carefully scanned every corner of the room.

All of Li Xia's things disappeared without a trace.

When Mo Jingchen just got up, he didn't pay attention to these things and just thought she went downstairs.

Only after seeing these details with his own eyes did he completely understand.

"She's gone..." A deep furrow appeared between Mo Jingchen's brows.

He doesn't understand.

Why did Li Xia want to leave?

Mo Jingchen frowned, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and wanted to call Li Xia to find out.

It was at this moment that he suddenly realized.

He didn't even have Li Xia's number.

On weekdays when they were in the company, he would call her on the internal line.

Regarding Li Xia’s personal mobile phone number.

Mo Jingchen didn't know.

His eyes dimmed.

———

Lin family.

Li Xia calculated the time when her grandfather went out to practice Tai Chi and entered the house safely.

The nanny was humming a little tune while busy making breakfast in the kitchen.

She was so focused that she didn't hear the sound of the entrance door opening gently.

Li Xia took all her strength and ran barefoot up to the second floor to her room.

"Huh~" She curled herself up in the lazy sofa and let out a breath.

Today is Saturday, a day off for employees.

Li Xia doesn't have to go to work at MC Group.

She sat for a while, got up from the sofa, opened the closet, took her home clothes and went into the bathroom.

The battle lasted almost until dawn last night.

She was all sweaty and sticky and uncomfortable.

The body feels tired and exhausted.

Li Xia planned to take a shower first, then lie down on the bed and have a good sleep to restore her energy.

It took her more than ten minutes to come out of the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Li Xia was completely exhausted. She threw herself on the bed and fell asleep, her sleeping posture forming a big character.

It’s almost noon.

Li Xia was awakened by her rumbling stomach. She raised her hand to rub her sleepy eyes, covered her mouth with her palm and yawned, looking like she was still sleepy.

She woke up for a moment, then turned to look at the alarm clock on the bedside table.

Li Xia slept for almost four hours.

She looked down at the marks around her collarbone and ran a hand through her hair.

Mo Jingchen rubbed her neck a lot last night

I guess there are quite a few marks on the neck as well.

Li Xia found a batch of silk scarves in the drawer of the wardrobe and wrapped them around her neck.

She walked over to her dressing table and looked in the mirror.

Only after seeing that the marks on it had been mostly covered up did she dare to walk out of the room with peace of mind.

"Miss Li, when did you come back?"

The nanny saw Li Xia coming downstairs and said in surprise with her eyes wide open.

She didn't even notice it, it was like a living person suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Li Xia raised her lips and said, "Aunt Zhang, I came back late from overtime last night, so I didn't wake you and grandpa."

She lied without batting an eyelid.

"Aunt Zhang, where's Grandpa?"

Li Xia blinked and pursed her red lips to change the subject.

"The old man called half an hour ago and said that he had finished his exercise and was invited by his chess friends, so they had lunch outside at noon." Aunt Zhang looked at Li Xia and asked, "What would Miss Li like to eat at noon? I'll make it."

"Is my brother coming back?"

Aunt Zhang replied: "Mr. Li hasn't been back in the past few days."

"Then it'll just be the two of us at noon. Aunt Zhang, please make something simple."

Li Xia said.

The two of them can't eat much, so there's no need to go to great lengths.

Aunt Zhang nodded, "Okay."

She went back to the kitchen to work.

Li Xia took advantage of this time and went to Li Yuyan's study on the first floor.

She needs to use the computer to organize some work handover documents.

On the first day Li Xia joined MC Group, she thought about the day she would leave.
