The moonlight is bright and the lights are dim.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, Nanxi felt suffocated and uncomfortable as she watched her husband's car disappear into the night.
This was not the first separation, but it was the most painful and reluctant one for her.
She knew Balu's little thoughts. He thought that if he could coax her to sleep, she wouldn't feel so sad about the separation. But he didn't know that she was so sad that she couldn't sleep. She pretended to be asleep and waited for him to come downstairs before opening her eyes. She stood silently until her legs began to hurt, and until she could no longer see any trace of him, then she turned around and sat back on the sofa.
Her comic "Babalong and Nan Kitten" has been updated for several years. Because the update time is irregular, sometimes it takes a long time to update an episode. She was about to finish it, but a company contacted her and wanted to buy the copyright.
The animation she produced was sent to her, and she was very satisfied with it. She sold the copyright of the first part for several years. The company there also wanted to buy the second part. It was not a lot of effort anyway, so Nanxi agreed and started drawing an episode when she had nothing to do.
The second part tells the story of how Babalong and Nan Xiaomao met many interesting friends after they got together, and how they overcame difficulties together and set off towards Dragon Island.
The story here happens to be about Babalong handing Nan Xiaomao over to the black bear and the werewolf while she was sleeping, and flying off to find the location stone, and then being besieged by the black dragon and sea monster that had been chasing them.
The more Nanxi painted, the more anxious she became, and her thoughts gradually drifted away.
If the conflict between Su Junchi, Dad, and Mom was true, then given Su Junchi's vicious character, he would definitely kill Dad. How could he allow Dad to live so prosperously for so many years?
Given my father's paranoid and overbearing personality, he would never allow Su Junchi to live in the world like this and become a thorn in his heart all the time.
There must be some kind of delicate balance between the two of them, which is why they can dislike each other for so many years, hate each other to the core, but neither can do anything to the other.
If we find this point, maybe we can restrain Su Junchi, but my father has passed away, so how easy is it to find this point?
My father is a person who never trusts others easily. His only confidant is Uncle Li, who has been with him for many years. However, Uncle Li disappeared inexplicably after my father passed away. People have been looking for him for a long time, but there is no clue at all.
Boom boom boom…
At this moment, someone knocked on the bedroom door from outside. "Madam," it was the housekeeper shouting outside.
"Come in." Nanxi put down the things in her hands and let the housekeeper Liu Gu in.
"Madam, the guard outside said that there is a man at the door who wants to see you. His name is Sa Xun."
Nanxi was a little surprised. She looked down at the time. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. What was Sa Xun doing here at this time? Besides, wasn't he injured?
"Let him in. Also, go to the guest room and call Miss Yin Yin to come to the living room."
Nanxi changed into a simple home outfit, casually combed her hair, and walked downstairs.
Sa Xun entered the living room five minutes later.
He was not wearing a military uniform today, but a casual business suit, simple and elegant, worthy of being a noble young man from a famous family in Yangon. He stood there, superior and upright, and even the two obvious bandage marks on his arms did not affect his handsome temperament.
"Miss Nan, I'm sorry for visiting you in the middle of the night. Please forgive me." He still started with a gentlemanly and respectful remark.
This man has always been calm and reserved, without any excessive emotional fluctuations, and his tone has always been gentle and calm. No matter how you look at it, you can't connect him with the "pervert" that Yin Yin mentioned.
"Lieutenant General Sa Xun, why are you here so late? Is there anything?" Nanxi raised her hand and invited him to have tea and talk slowly, with the dignified and majestic demeanor of the hostess.
"I came to pick up Yinyin. She got mad at me today and ran away. I knew she came to look for you. She had nowhere else to go in Yangon except you."
"Since you know she has no one to rely on, why do you bully her?" Nanxi lowered her head and put the teacup on the table with an indifferent smile on her face.
"She's too willful. She doesn't understand a lot of things, yet she acts recklessly. I'm just trying to make her understand things and learn a lesson. My mother isn't as easy to deal with as she appears to be. If she provokes her, she'll be the one who suffers in the future if I don't show some resistance."
Sa Xun's tense face was full of helplessness, "Miss Nan, she listens to you, can't you persuade her to live a good life? Why does she have to make a fuss?
When she wanted to go to school, I sent her there. When she wanted to start a business, I let her do it. I gave in to whatever she wanted to do. Even now, I still can't figure out how I've wronged her to make her think about running all day long. It's been so many years, and she doesn't get tired of running, but I get tired of watching her.
"In that case, you might as well let her go. Your family situation is complicated. Yinyin is stubborn and is no match for your mother. Now she has completely offended Madam Lanli. You can't protect her, so why not let her go? That way, it will be better for both of you, isn't it?
Although I don't know Mrs. Lanley, I have heard a little about her style. Do you really hope that Yinyin will one day die like those women your father had outside?"
"No." Sa Xun's Adam's apple moved, "My mother doesn't dare to touch Yin Yin. If she dares to touch my beloved, I will destroy the entire Lanli family.
She knew better than anyone that her family was her support. If she touched Yinyin, she would destroy her family and her son. She was overbearing, but not stupid. She would not do such a thing.
"But Lieutenant General Saxun, killing isn't the only way to vent hatred in this world. Haven't you noticed that Yinyin's thoughts and actions are becoming increasingly extreme? What exactly is the reason for this? Haven't you thought about it carefully?
Although you don't live with Mrs. Lanley, she doesn't have the love of her husband and she's always thinking about finding her son for a sense of security. She stays with you almost all day long. You're so busy, and the only one she has to face is Yin Yin.
Those people in the manor are all Madam Lanley's subordinates. Yinyin has no background and can't even order a servant around. She has to rely on herself for everything. Even for meals, she has to wait for Madam Lanley to finish eating and then go to the kitchen to cook for her, or just make a couple of bites. She's getting thinner and thinner, aren't you going to find out why?"
Sa Xun's already gloomy face suddenly darkened, and he was furious. "How is this possible? Every time I go home, Yinyin is studying hard at home. I've never heard her mention it. She's so noisy. If she suffered a loss, she would have made a big fuss. How could she swallow her anger?"
Nanxi sighed, "You really don't understand women at all. No wonder Yinyin wants to leave all day long. I don't know whether you love her or not, but I can only advise you that if you continue like this, Yinyin will really be in trouble. Even if it's not Madam Lanli who takes action, you yourself will drive her to a dead end."
Sa Xun turned his head away, his gloomy face full of desolation. "Will Baru let you go back to China? He is not the only man in this world who has feelings for me. I love Yinyin as much as Baru loves you."
