Chapter 65

For a long time, Zhou Bai scoured the neighbourhood, searching Jian Ci’s frequently visited places a few times – the company, the supermarket, the little park nearby, the private home dining, the IT mall… but he was nowhere to be found.

Just as he was feeling disheartened, the lock to the door of their house clicked, and Jian Ci entered with a face filled with exhaustion.
