Chapter 572: Chapter 572: She is Evading

"But there are principles even among thieves. If she’s a master thief, how could she betray her employer?"

"She didn’t betray anyone, because she didn’t even know who the employer was," Tao Hua said, spreading his hands and shrugging.

"..."

Both men were speechless with him. In their view, Tao Hua’s interest in Annie had gone too far!

————

Ever since Xiaocong had a master, his days were spent either at school or learning martial arts.

His life was fulfilling and enriched, leaving no room in his mind for idle thoughts. Naturally, his body and spirit felt at ease, and the terrifying things that once haunted him disappeared on their own.

Lin Xinlan, however, was bored.

Beyond cooking every day, she didn’t know what else to do.

She had no job, no special skills, and no hobbies, and her relationship with Rong Shaoze was lukewarm at best.

She felt her life was like a stagnant pool, lifeless and inert.

Sick of watching TV all day, she would inevitably ask herself whenever she saw a heroine onscreen fighting for her dreams,

what her own dreams were.

If she set aside the people she loved, what was left in her life?

The answer was nothing.

Alone with such thoughts, the more she pondered, the more negative she became, even wondering what joy there was to speak of in life.

She desperately needed to get out for some fresh air; she couldn’t sit alone in the house and wallow in her thoughts, or her life would turn out even worse.

Early in the morning, after Xiaocong went to school and Rong Shaoze to his company, Lin Xinlan also quietly left the villa.

Turning off her phone, she boarded a bus and wandered aimlessly through the city, unsure of where to go.

Truthfully, she had never really taken a good look at this city.

The weather was nice today, and looking at the sunlight through the yellowing leaves gave her a warm, lazy feeling...

As she admired the city’s scenery and observed the diverse throngs of people along the way, her mood was calm, without a single ripple.

She sadly realized that nothing caught her eye or her heart.

No wonder some say that love can bring life or bring death.

Now, she felt as if her heart had died, devoid of any feeling.

Not knowing where she had ended up, when hunger struck, she found a restaurant to eat.

After eating something casually, she found a coffee shop to enjoy a coffee.

This leisurely comfort, the sensation that time was endlessly drawn out, was something she was experiencing for the first time.

Perhaps in the future, she could go out for a walk every day until she was tired and then return home.

Indeed, as dusk fell and both her body and mind felt weary, weary to the point of wanting to think of nothing, she slowly made her way back to the villa.

As she walked into the living room, a little figure dashed toward her, and she reflexively squatted down to catch him.

"Mommy, where did you go today? Xiaocong couldn’t find you after school," the little guy said, wrapping his arms around her neck and asking with grievance.

Lin Xinlan said with an apologetic smile, "Mommy went out for a walk and forgot to tell you."

"Then why did you turn off your phone?"

"...It ran out of battery." How could she dare to tell her child that she was running away.

She didn’t know what she was running from, just that she didn’t want to face anything...

Xiaocong pouted, still feeling aggrieved, "Next time you go out, you must tell Xiaocong, or I’ll worry."

A sense of guilt rose in her heart.

Once, her child was her everything.
