I'm Waiting for You in Ashes

The afternoon sun was just right.

Su Wan was half lying on the bed with the book in her hands. From time to time, she would throw a salted plum into her mouth.

These days, every time Huo Qing kissed and gnawed on her body, the next day he would treat her exceptionally well.

Su Wan was very vexed. Whether she should confess to him or not, the truth was that she was being bitten quite comfortably.

She smiled with her eyes half closed, a dazzling contrast to her good color.

Well, if he does well tonight, he'll confess.

Just as he was thinking about this, a nervous voice suddenly came from outside.

"Miss Mengjing, the young master has instructed that you cannot go in …"

Then there was another rather sweet but harsh female voice.

"You seem to be loyal to your Young Master now? "What if I tell him how you treated the woman in there before?"

"This …"

"I'm just going in to take a look, and I'm not doing anything. If you continue acting this untactfully, I'll change my mind."

It was quiet outside.

Next, the lock clicked open.

The first thing that slipped in was a white dress. Su Wan looked up along the skirt. A woman holding a fruit platter was walking towards her in a swaying posture.

She stood up quickly and frowned slightly.

She didn't see this woman often, but perhaps because she knew that she was the woman that Huo Qing raised in the house, she felt uncomfortable every time she saw her.

But Huo Qing repeatedly told her that they weren't related in any way.

Su Wan was lost in thought as she thought of the past. The woman beside her ear placed the fruit bowl on the table, looked at her with disdain, and sneered.

"I never thought that Su Wan, you would actually turn into a fool. I don't even know if I should be happy or regretful."

These words were obviously mocking her.

Su Wan frowned even more. She didn't like this woman.

But she still shook her head and explained seriously.

"Huo Qing said that I'm not stupid. This is called returning to one's original nature."

"Puff …"

Li Mengqing covered her mouth and laughed without restraint, which confused Su Wan.

After she finished laughing, she found a seat and sat down.

"Do you like your brother's eyes?"

She did not wait for Su Wan's reply and just accepted it.

"Seems like it should be rather pleasing to the heart. After all, you are so heartless …" "However, if that short-lived brother of yours knows that you don't remember him at all, he would probably be unwilling to even be a ghost …"

Li Mengqing's red lips moved, and she slowly spat out some cruel words, staring at Su Wan's expression.

Her gaze was like a snake's tongue, sweeping across every inch of her skin.

Su Wan was a little flustered from being stared at. Her head started to ache, and she instinctively pointed outside.

"Please leave. You are not welcome here."

She didn't want to see her, so she had a premonition that if she didn't leave now, some things would go out of control.

Li Mengqing ignored her, slowly took out her phone from her bag, played with the picture, and walked towards her.

"It's alright if you don't remember Bai Shan. You should at least remember this …"

Su Wan told herself to ignore her.

However, her gaze couldn't help but follow the direction of her hand and look towards the screen.

On the screen, there was a picture.

A picture of a dead man.

The man in the photo was lying in the mortuary freezer. He looked handsome, but his face was a bit pale.

He lay so still, as if he were only asleep.

However, Su Wan suddenly felt sad.

Because, she knew, this person was already dead. He would never smile at her again, never touch her head and say "be obedient" to her.

Who is he? Who is it?

For a full minute, Su Wan's expression changed from dazed to frightened, then to sorrowful.

A cry that had been suppressed for a long time finally exploded.

"Big bro —"
