Chapter 397: 397: The First Loss in My Life_1

For the first time in his life, Ye Qilan realized how terrifying it was to lose something.

Just yesterday, he was on a movie date with Su Hongxing. Although the date ended abruptly halfway, it was at least their first date.

When he left in the morning, he kissed Su Hongxing’s belly and bade farewell to the mother and child.

He even said he’d name the child…

How on earth could Su Hongxing bleed so much when she was perfectly fine?

Ye Qilan suddenly opened his eyes: “Age, drive back!”

Without knowing what had happened, Age immediately drove back to the villa.

Very soon, everyone was gathering in the living room at Ye Qilan’s call.

Ye Qilan spoke to each individual in turn, hoping to find any anomalies in Su Hongxing’s recent behaviour.

When it was Xiaole’s turn, she thought hard about it and hesitantly said, “There seems to be nothing wrong.”

Aunt Ning, an old servant of the Ye Family, took care of all of Su Hongxing’s meals. Surely she wouldn’t harm Su Hongxing through her meals?

Ye Qilan’s gaze finally rested on Du Qingyu’s face.

Seeing Ye Qilan suspect her, Du Qingyu wasn’t flustered. She calmly said, “I rarely spend time at the villa, and I don’t talk much with Miss Su. Sometimes I don’t see her all day, so there’s not much to say.”

The problem inside Su Hongxing’s stomach was gone, but there was no way Ye Qilan would blame it on her!

In the end, Old Master Ye intervened, dispersing everyone.

“Qilan, there’s no need to be overly suspicious. It’s just an accident that Miss Su had a miscarriage.” Old Master Ye said gravely.

With Su Hongxing missing, their priority should be to ensure her safety.

Without further ado, Ye Qilan left the villa and headed towards the Cao Family’s house.

Guan Ya was surprised to see Ye Qilan suddenly appear at the Cao Family’s house: “Qilan, why are you here?”

“I’m here to see Uncle. Is he not at home?” Ye Qilan looked around the room.

He was somewhat surprised not to see Cao Shiyu around at this time.

“He’s still at work, he won’t be home so soon. Why don’t you wait here?” Guan Ya had a servant serve tea to Ye Qilan.

As it turned, Ye Qilan ended up waiting till nine in the evening before Cao Zhen came home with a briefcase.

Seeing Ye Qilan, Cao Zhen remained expressionless: “You’re looking for me?”

“How is Su Hongxing doing?” Ye Qilan blurted out.

Cao Zhen gave him a long stare: “Isn’t Miss Su living in your villa? Why are you asking me about her?”

“Uncle, how is she really doing…”

Cao Zhen called a guard to escort Ye Qilan away and ordered in front of Ye Qilan: “Don’t let anybody enter casually from now on.”

Cao Zhen’s reaction confirmed Ye Qilan’s belief that Su Hongxing had indeed been taken away by Cao Zhen.

Could this mean that Su Hongxing’s life is no longer in danger?

“Sir, it’s not a solution to stay here. Have a good rest tonight, and follow Cao Zhen tomorrow. We will certainly find Miss Su.” Age advised Ye Qilan, who was unwilling to leave the entrance of the courtyard.

An hour later, Ye Qilan returned to the villa.

As he passed the master bedroom, he opened the door and peeked inside. He didn’t know if he was imagining things, but the smell of blood seemed to be even stronger now.

He then went to the bedroom where Su Hongxing had been sleeping recently. He saw the half-read magazine and the half-knitted baby sweater.

He remembered how she sat in the sunlight, clumsily knitting the baby’s sweater. She had promised him that she’d knit one for him too.

In the end, the baby’s sweater was not completed, and it seemed the sweater she promised to knit for him wouldn’t be made either.
