As soon as Fang Xiu entered the room, she noticed something was off. No one was in the shop, yet the room was closed. He was supposed to be keeping the shop, so where did he go?
After putting the groceries in the kitchen, Fang Xiu gently pushed the door, which opened easily. But the sight before her nearly took her breath away.
"What are you doing?" Fang Xiu yelled, then broke into silent sobs. She wanted to verbally rip into them, but she found herself unable to speak. She had lost her voice at the worst possible time.
Her cry jolted Jing Xin awake. In response, he pushed off the woman on top of him. His muddled head cleared instantly. Noticing the disheveled Jing Yuan he had just pushed aside, he then turned to his wife at the door. If he didn't understand what was happening now, he might as well be dead.
