One hour later, Chi Xiaoyu finally returned to the Presidential Palace.
Throughout the day, countless thoughts of regret filled her mind...
If only she hadn't taken Xiao Guai out today. If only she had brought more bodyguards. None of this would've happened.
But unfortunately, the world isn't full of what-ifs. So many unexpected events occur completely beyond your control.
"Mom, where's Xiao Guai?"
Xiao Tian ran in from the far end of the hall, a small backpack on his back. His round, adorable eyes were wide open as he scanned behind her, looking for Xiao Guai's figure. The two children were twins and shared a particularly close bond. They enjoyed spending time together at home and missed each other dearly when apart.
"Uh, Xiao Guai is at Grandma's house. She might stay there for a few days before coming back." Chi Xiaoyu's voice choked up.
"Oh, I thought you two went to pick flowers?" Xiao Tian blinked his bright, dark eyes, his tone tinged with a bit of disappointment.
