It was not a symbolic loneliness but a spiritual barrenness. Xinghe thought she was fated to face life alone…
Who would have thought Mubai would promise to be her rock? She knew he was capable of doing that… but she wondered, how long he would persevere.
"What's on your mind?" Mubai had already dragged Xinghe out of the mansion. The cold wind hit her face, freshening her mind.
She didn't answer but asked, "We're leaving just like that? We're not telling them first?"
Mubai shook his head. "I will explain on the phone. Since we've decided then it's better to act fast."
"Okay." Xinghe nodded, he was right, they were on a race against time. The car drove them to a private airport where a private plane already sat waiting. Mubai escorted Xinghe up into the plane.
Before entering, Xinghe turned back to look at the darkness behind her and a determined look crossed her eyes.
