Sir, Madam Went Back To Her Maternal Home Again

The late summer night breeze was cool, and the night sky was sparsely dotted with a few stars. A dark Bentley was driving on the pitch-black highway, illuminating the vegetation on both sides of the road.

The person in the back seat seemed to be resting with his eyes closed. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and his face was dull.

The outline of his face was cold and deep in the dark interior, making him look even more valiant and handsome.

A call came in. He slowly opened his eyes and glanced at his phone. His slender fingers pressed the answer button.

"Old Xi, are you arriving at Lucheng today?"

"Yes, on the way home."

"Don't. We haven't seen each other for a few years. Let's get together tonight."

The orange light shone on the blue and white road sign. The words 'Lucheng No. 1 High School' entered his eyes clearly.

Xi Mo tilted his head slightly. He walked 20 meters forward and passed by a school's gate.

The poplar tree at the gate had thickened quite a bit. The shadow of the uncle in the security room was reflected on the glass, and the lights were on in the teaching building.

Everything was the same, but there seemed to be something different.

It was not until the person on the other end of the earpiece called him a few more times that he averted his gaze.

"I'm not going today. Another day."

"There's no one at home anyway. It's so boring to go back alone. I brought my girlfriend to see you."

"Girlfriend?"

Fu Ming's slightly smug voice sounded, "Yes, I've got a girlfriend. She's a gentle girl. My grandmother introduced her to me."

"It's great to be in a relationship. There's always someone to manage everything and someone to care about you. Old Xi, hurry up. Don't be single when I get married."

Xi Mo said in a magnetic voice, "Are you serious?"

"I'm pretty serious now."

He didn't want to ask about other people's private matters. He just wished them well and was about to hang up.

"Don't hang up. Is that all you have to say to your brother? Old Xi, you haven't changed at all. You're indifferent and unfeeling," Fu Ming said in a half-joking tone. "Many students from the alumni association that has been established for 50 years have rushed over from all over the world. Even a busy person like you has flown back from Switzerland. Do you think Wen Hua will come too?"

He was caught off-guard when he heard that name. His heart suddenly tightened.

After waiting for a long time without an answer, Fu Ming straightened his expression and said seriously, "You still remember it after so many years?"

After a long while, Xi Mo's low and hoarse voice sounded, "Have you heard any news about her?"

"No. Her family hid her news too well back then. Even her school records were cleared. She's determined not to interact with this side anymore. Not to mention yourself, sometimes, even I find it surreal just thinking about it. Do you think she really exists? It's like a dream. She disappeared just like that. Back then, I really liked her." Fu Ming sighed. "I wonder if she'll think of me when she remembers No. 1 High School."

"You said that she hasn't heard from anyone for so many years, and she hasn't contacted anyone either. Do you think she doesn't like No. 1 High School or the people here? Do you think she won't even think about coming here?"

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Xi Mo's clear voice asked, "What are you saying?"

It was Fu Ming's turn to be silent. He paused for a moment before speaking, "I don't think so. She's not that kind of person. Besides, you've been waiting for her for so many years. It's time for God to open his eyes and let the two of you meet. I think the fate between the two of you isn't over yet. Maybe she'll suddenly appear at the Alumni Party the day after tomorrow."

He took the keys and entered the villa to turn on the lights. The white light above his head poured down, instantly lighting up the hall.

The house was regularly cleaned. Everything in the house was in good order, just like the last time he came back.

It was the same quiet and silence.

The last time... when was it?

It seemed to be when he graduated from university two years ago.

"Thank you for your kind words." He stood in the hall, and his cold and magnetic voice quickly disappeared into the air.

After flying from Switzerland to Lucheng for more than ten hours, the man's cold face was covered with a layer of fatigue.

"CEO Xi, do you need someone to come over and take care of things?" Special Assistant Yu was dressed in a black suit and stood behind him in a well-trained manner.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow. It's late. You should go and rest too."

"Yes."

Yu Jinnan was about to leave when Xi Mo lifted his eyelids. "There are guest rooms on the second floor."

Assistant Yu was stunned for a moment before he said, "I'll go to the hotel..."

"You can't touch the room at the end of the second floor. Pick another room."

After saying that, he went upstairs.

After taking a shower, he pushed open the door of the guest room at the end of the second floor.

Everything in the room was the same as it had been many years ago. It had not been touched at all.

He leaned against the door, and just like that night many years ago, his gaze gently fell on the bedside.
