C19 Caught off Guard

When they returned to the Hsu family's villa, it was already dark. It was still raining.

Hsu Mochen got off the car with the urn in his arms. A bone-piercing cold wind blew over. He was thin and could not help but shiver while standing in the wind and rain.

He raised his eyes and looked at the huge house in front of him. It was pitch black inside.

Hsu Mochen suddenly realized that he had been married for three years. This was the first time he had returned to the Hsu family. There was not a trace of light in the house.

Usually, no matter how late Xia Qingning was, she would always leave a lamp in the hall. She wrapped herself in a blanket and lay on the sofa, waiting for him to return home.

If it was early in the morning, it would be on the dining table. And the hot soup and rice she had prepared with great care.

And now...

Hsu Mochen slowly lowered his head and looked at the wooden box in his hand that had gradually become cold.

Accompanied by the surrounding cold, a wave of astringent pain assaulted him without being caught off guard.

Hsu Mochen paused for a moment and immediately restrained his emotions. He opened the door and entered the house.

He pressed the switch, and the house became bright.

Hsu Mochen's stiff footsteps stopped at the door.

He stood still and looked at everything in front of him. The empty house was no longer as warm as it used to be, but there was a chill coming from every corner of the room.

Cold, an unprecedented cold.

The hand that held the box tightened. He strode upstairs and went straight back to his bedroom.

As soon as he opened the door, a familiar scent of lemon came. Hsu Mochen stopped. It was the smell of the woman's body.

Xia Qingning was allergic and never wore perfume.

She used lemon scented soap to wash herself, so there was always a faint fragrance coming from her body.

Perhaps it was because the window was not closed, but a cold wind came and the coolness spread all over her body.

Hsu Mochen, who was stunned on the spot, moved a step, and carefully placed the box in his hand on the desk.

Then, he sat on the bed and looked at the square box without moving.

He had forgotten how long the last time he came home was.

When he returned again, he was the only one left in this huge house.

Everything that had happened in the past few days was like a dream.

A nightmare.

There was no sense of reality at all.

At this moment, when everything around them had quietened down and Hsu Mochen saw that the house was empty, he truly felt that he was the only one left.

An uncontrollable chill assaulted his heart once again. It slowly climbed up his heart.

Hsu Mochen walked into the bathroom and took a hot bath.

After his body finally had a hint of warmth, he went to the liquor store to open a few bottles of red wine. He did not take a glass of wine and just drank it in big gulps.

After an unknown amount of time, the night deepened.

Hsu Mochen's consciousness gradually became less clear with the subtle effect of alcohol.

Then, he smashed his body into the goose white blanket. He fell into a familiar fragrance. Memories dragged his thoughts back to a long time ago. A long time ago...

Xia Qingning was originally the daughter of the Xia family and had never suffered since she was young.

Ever since she was with Hsu Mochen, she had worked hard to study cooking.

Her two fair and tender hands were often splashed by the hot oil, causing blisters to appear one after another.

However, that woman always had a good temper. She persisted all the way until she firmly grasped Hsu Mochen's picky appetite.

Hsu Mochen's temperament was cold. He was a quiet person. Ever since he was with Xia Qingning, his character had changed a lot.

Since he was young, he had no worries about food and clothing, and he was aloof and aloof. He had never taken anyone seriously, and he had never lowered his head to please anyone.

On the other hand, Xia Qingning was the first woman that made him put in so much effort and only smiled for the sake of winning.

Once upon a time, they were so good.

Every day, they would stick together and do nothing. They would not say anything. They would read and write respectively. After a day, they would feel at ease and enriched.

Hsu Mochen had sighed many times in his heart. He was accompanied by a good person, and the things he sought in his life were nothing more than this.

He had been in love for a few years, and every scene, every scene, was that woman's smiling face.

Hsu Mochen had never made Xia Qingning sad, not even a drop of tears could make her cry.

But later on, all the pain and despair that that woman had experienced were all given to her by him.

As a result, even the courage to survive was not cut off by Hsu Mochen.

That was why that woman wanted to die?

So she chose to die after suffering the torture and pain?
