The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 452: Chapter 452 Dongfang Yu is Already Dead _1

Hai Xiaotang didn’t want to speculate on what had happened to Dongfang Yu.

But not long after, everyone was saying that Dongfang Yu was dead, though his body couldn’t be found.

Some witnessed him being shot.

When all these messages reached Hai Xiaotang’s ears, she didn’t believe a single word of them!

Dongfang Yu had clearly told her on the phone that he was going to be fine. So, how could he be dead?

All this must be a conspiracy!

Yes, it must be a conspiracy. Otherwise, how could Dongfang Yu’s body not be found?

It was with this belief that Hai Xiaotang continued to live strongly and wait.

But time flew by, and a month had passed.

Dongfang Yu still hadn’t returned…

He Meilian was almost ready to give up hope, but Hai Xiaotang persisted.

She also tried to live well because she didn’t want to let herself collapse by the time Dongfang Yu returned.

But no matter how much she ate, Hai Xiaotang’s weight continued to decrease.

Qiao Ning would come to Dongfang Mansion to chat with Hai Xiaotang every few days.

Seeing Hai Xiaotang still slim despite having eaten quite a lot of snacks, she felt sad.

“Xiaotang, stop eating, you’ve eaten enough.” Qiao Ning couldn’t help but stop her.

Hai Xiaotang snapped back to reality, only to realize that she had unconsciously eaten a lot again.

Hai Xiaotang laughed, “It’s weird, I don’t feel full at all, probably because I didn’t eat enough at lunch.”

No, she always eats a lot in every meal!

Qiao Ning didn’t expose her, and joked, “But if you eat so much now, you’ll eat less at dinner. So eat less now.”

“Okay, I won’t eat anymore.” Hai Xiaotang readily agreed and then started staring blankly again.

Here it goes again.

When Hai Xiaotang wasn’t eating, she was staring blankly.

Basically, she wasn’t quite herself most of the time.

Qiao Ning softly called her, “Xiaotang, what do you think of my proposal? Why don’t we go out together tomorrow?”

Hai Xiaotang was momentarily dazed, then remembered that Qiao Ning had indeed made a suggestion.

But she didn’t want to go.

Hai Xiaotang shook her head, “I won’t go. You go and have fun. I don’t want to go out.”

She was afraid that Dongfang Yu might return at any time, afraid that she wouldn’t be the first to see him if she was out.

That’s why she hadn’t left the house for so long…

Qiao Ning knew she’d refuse. She was about to persuade her when Hai Xiaotang suddenly asked, “Qiao Ning, what’s the date today?”

She asked this question every day, and everyone had gotten used to it.

Qiao Ning answered, “It’s the 17th.”

Hai Xiaotang nodded. “It’s been so long.”

It had been 34 days since that phone call.

But to her, it felt like an eternity of 34 long years.

The long days made her feel old and tired, both physically and mentally…

She was indeed very tired, always tired.

Unconsciously, Hai Xiaotang fell asleep leaning against the sofa.

Every time Qiao Ning came to chat with her, she would fall asleep halfway through. But being asleep was good, as time passed quicker that way.

Qiao Ning gently covered Hai Xiaotang with a blanket, then left.

No one disturbed Hai Xiaotang’s rest.

She just leaned against the sofa quietly, sleeping deeply.

After a while, she opened her eyes groggily, only to see a tall figure walking in from the door.

He was backlit, the dazzling light enveloped him, making it impossible to see his face.

But his figure and aura bore a certain familiarity…
