When Su Yaoyao returned home, it was already completely dark.
Yu Chiyan was sitting on the sofa. When he saw her come in, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"You're back?"
He casually took the bag from her hand, and one hand was already around the woman's slender waist.
"If it had been any later, I would have called you to come home."
Hearing this, Su Yaoyao raised her eyes and glared at him.
"I just wanted to meet a friend for a chat, it's not like I'm not coming back, and besides, what time is it?"
Seeing that she looked a little unhappy, Yu Chiyan quickly smiled and tried to appease her.
"Isn't it painful to be alone in an empty room?"
Yu Chiyan's sweet talk became more and more fluent, and Su Yaoyao's goosebumps rose more and more frequently. She couldn't help but hug her arms and rub them together.
"Yu Chiyan, what's wrong with you? Where did your aloof demeanor go?"
Su Yaoyao pried open Yu Chiyan's hands that were wrapped around her waist as she walked upstairs.
Yu Chiyan was not annoyed that his hand had fallen empty. Su Yaoyao went upstairs, and he followed.
"Why act aloof in front of your wife? Isn't that just asking for a beating?"
Su Yaoyao was amused by his words; "If it were really as you say, you would have deserved to die long ago."
Yu Chiyan's expression was somewhat stiff as he thought of what had happened in the past.
Taking advantage of the man's momentary daze, Su Yaoyao quickly opened the bathroom door and slipped inside. By the time Yu Chiyan reacted, the door had already been closed.
His face darkened, and he raised his hand to knock on the door; "Yaoyao, you must be tired after a long day. Let me come in and massage your legs and shoulders."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Su Yaoyao's clear voice came from inside: "No need."
Yu Chiyan; "..."
He wanted to struggle a little longer; "Yaoyao, just let me in, I can rub your back for you."
The sound of running water could already be heard from the bathroom, and Yu Chiyan's eyes darkened.
"Yu Chiyan, if you know I'm tired, then at least have some decency. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"
Yu Chiyan; "..."
Somewhat dejected, Yu Chiyan touched his nose and coughed lightly.
"Besides feeling sorry for you and wanting you to relax, what else could I be thinking?"
He tried to argue his way out of it, but Su Yaoyao retorted sarcastically without any mercy.
Do you think I believe you?
Yu Chiyan; "..."
What about the most basic trust between people?
Su Yaoyao couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this. When did Yu Chiyan start joking with her?
She immersed her entire body in the water, no longer paying attention to Yu Chiyan.
Sure enough, after a while, there was no more noise outside. Then, Su Yaoyao vaguely heard the sound of the bedroom door being pushed open, which meant that Yu Chiyan had left.
Su Yaoyao brought over her tablet, intending to watch a TV series or something, but unexpectedly, someone sent her a message on WeChat.
It's Huo Xiting.
"Yaoyao, my flight is at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Can you come see me off?"
Su Yaoyao thought about it for a moment, but in the end she didn't refuse and quickly gave him an answer.
"good."
Unexpectedly, Huo Xiting called as soon as the message was sent.
Su Yaoyao was taking a bath and it was a bit inconvenient for her. She didn't want to answer the call, but she accidentally pressed the wrong button and answered it.
"Yaoyao, are you busy?"
Su Yaoyao was taken aback for a moment before she realized what she meant. "Um, it's nothing. Is there something you need?"
After a long silence, Huo Xiting finally said, "You'll come to see me off on time tomorrow, right?"
Su Yaoyao nodded; "Of course, since I promised you, I definitely won't regret it."
Huo Xiting's voice suddenly became a bit lighter; "That's good. I have something very important to give you tomorrow. But before that, I want to ask you one more time, Yaoyao, has no one in your family ever had a mental illness?"
Su Yaoyao was taken aback. Huo Xiting had asked her this question once before.
Why are you asking this?
Huo Xiting's voice was somewhat deep; "Yaoyao, I would never harm you, so just tell me, is it true or not?"
Su Yaoyao tightened her grip on the phone, thought for a moment, and finally spoke.
"Yes, fifteen years ago, my biological mother committed suicide by jumping into the sea because she was too shocked."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiting's eyes narrowed instantly; "Yaoyao, do you still remember your mother's attending physician?"
Su Yaoyao pursed her lips and whispered into the phone, "I was too young at the time and I don't know who my mother's doctor was. I only vaguely remember that the person was a foreigner and was quite old. So many years have passed, I guess that person is long gone."
Upon hearing this, Hossey remained silent for a long while before suddenly asking a question in a low voice.
"Yaoyao, have you never doubted your mother's death?"
Su Yaoyao's face froze instantly, a hint of shock showing in her eyes. When she spoke again, her voice was filled with surprise.
"Huo Xiting, why are you suddenly asking me this? Do you know something?"
Hearing Su Yaoyao's words, Huo Xiting's face also showed some surprise; "Yaoyao, what do you mean by that..."
Su Yaoyao clenched her fists and immediately said, "Last time, Chen Huimei caused me trouble and said that she should have let my mother and me die together back then. This caught my attention. I suspect that my mother's death was related to Chen Huimei. So I have asked someone to investigate what happened back then."
As Su Yaoyao spoke, her voice became tinged with melancholy.
