Lu Xingzhi lifted the pillow. As expected, there was still something under the pillow...
It was a pot of cactus. It looked like she had just bought it that day.
When he took a closer look, Lu Xingzhi was not surprised. The pillow on the cactus was his, not Jiang Yao's.
She most likely released her anger on his pillow and then placed his pillow on top of the cactus. Perhaps she needed to vent her anger, and she decided to throw him on the cactus.
However, why did Jiang Yao buy a cactus for no reason at all?
She knew that he would move to Province A after his mission, so she would not have bought something on a whim to decorate that place that would become someone else's home soon.
Did she buy durian and get a cactus for free? Which shop owner would give such a strange gift?
So, why did Jiang Yao buy a cactus? Well, he was not worried about that at that time. He was concerned about his wife's whereabouts.
She was not home, so where was she?
Lu Xingzhi took his phone and called Jiang Yao. When he dialed her number and heard her ringtone in the living room, he realized that Jiang Yao did not even take her phone with her.
He had started to get anxious. He turned around and opened the closet. He counted the items and rummaged through them. He sighed in relief when he was sure that her clothes were in the closet.
He was scared to death.
Her backpack was still at home; everything was at home. It seemed like she did not take anything with her.
Oh, no, she took Moe!
