Finally, under the doctor's careful instructions, Gao Yuan and Wen Xiaoxiao personally saw Shi Xinxin into Sheng Chenjin's car, and they drove Shi Xinxin home.
Gao Yuan and Wen Xiaoxiao were still a bit uneasy, and it was only after Shi Xinxin returned to her room that their hearts began to relax.
But Wen Xiaoxiao was still worried, "I'll call Tang Tang. Maybe it'll be better if the two of us stay here and keep Shi Xinxin company. I'm afraid Shi Xinxin might do something rash."
Gao Yuan, on the other hand, seemed calmer, "The matter hasn't been fully investigated yet, she probably won't act rashly."
Wen Xiaoxiao was still uneasy and immediately called Tang Tang.
Tang Tang, unable to care about anything else, drove directly to Sheng Chenjin's home. She and Wen Xiaoxiao stayed in the guest room at Sheng Chenjin's house, keeping watch over Shi Xinxin for the entire night. Gao Yuan, meanwhile, hurried to investigate where Sheng Chenjin had gone.
From that day on, Tang Tang and Wen Xiaoxiao accompanied Shi Xinxin almost every day. Sheng Chenjin, however, seemed to have vanished into thin air, with no news whatsoever. Gao Yuan and the butler had ordered a full search for Sheng Chenjin, but it yielded nothing.
Gao Yuan took over all the company's business and was quite busy, yet he didn't forget to spare time to inquire about Sheng Chenjin. However, each time, he was met with disappointment. Even when Shi Xinxin asked about it, Gao Yuan dared not face her to discuss the matter.
Since that night, Shi Xinxin had confined herself to her room. She resigned from her job and simply waited at home for Sheng Chenjin to return.
Seeing Shi Xinxin in such a state, Tang Tang and Wen Xiaoxiao were extremely worried. Sheng Chenjin still had no news.
"You say it," Wen Xiaoxiao, upon entering the room and seeing Shi Xinxin staring blankly out at the scenery, finally couldn't bring herself to speak. She nudged Tang Tang with her shoulder, signaling her to speak.
Tang Tang stared intently at Shi Xinxin, not answering Wen Xiaoxiao. She walked directly over and sat beside Shi Xinxin.
Shi Xinxin forced a smile, "Tangtang, Xiaoxiao, you're here."
As she spoke, Shi Xinxin turned her head back towards the balcony, "Back then, Sheng Chenjin said he planned to plant some of my favorite flowers on the balcony. But I thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out what to plant. I have no sense for flowers and plants at all."
Tang Tang held Shi Xinxin's hand tightly, "XinXin, I have something to tell you."
Shi Xinxin turned to look at Tang Tang, "Tangtang, why do you look so serious? We don't need to be so serious when we talk. Let's be relaxed."
"Why don't you go abroad? Aunt Yun will accompany you, okay?" Tang Tang directly brought up the topic.
Wen Xiaoxiao was startled. She was worried that if they revealed everything now, Shi Xinxin might not agree, and not only that, she might feel upset.
However, seeing that Shi Xinxin seemed a bit puzzled, she looked at Tang Tang, "Why? Isn't it good for me to wait for Sheng Chenjin to come home here?"
Tang Tang nodded, "It's very good. But XinXin, you have to understand, for Sheng Chenjin, you are more important than he is. For his peace of mind, can you go abroad to recuperate?"
Shi Xinxin didn't make any decision at that moment. Tang Tang continued, "Go. I'll visit you often. Aunt Yun will go with you. Our initial choice is Singapore. The butler mentioned that Sheng Chenjin has a house in Singapore, and besides... didn't you used to clamor about wanting to see their garden city in Singapore?"
Shi Xinxin still showed no response.
Wen Xiaoxiao looked at Shi Xinxin and knew that she didn't want to go to Singapore at all. But seeing Shi Xinxin confined to this house every day, she was becoming like a statue waiting for her husband.
As friends, Tang Tang and Wen Xiaoxiao truly felt heartbroken and worried for Shi Xinxin.
"Can you?" Tang Tang asked Shi Xinxin again.
"Let me think about it." Shi Xinxin finally answered Tang Tang.
Tang Tang nodded. As long as Shi Xinxin was willing to consider it, it was a step forward. "Okay, think about it yourself. If you make up your mind, tell me. It's okay whether you go or not."
"Okay."
Shi Xinxin truly appeared to be deep in thought, as if contemplating the matter.
Three more days passed in the blink of an eye, and Shi Xinxin had not responded.
Wen Xiaoxiao was very worried, guessing that Shi Xinxin had no intention of going abroad to recuperate.
However, to everyone's surprise, one evening, Shi Xinxin proactively told them, "I plan to go abroad."
When they heard Shi Xinxin's announcement, Wen Xiaoxiao and Tang Tang were both a little surprised, as they had almost given up.
"Really?" Wen Xiaoxiao happily took Shi Xinxin's hand.
Shi Xinxin finally managed a smile, "Of course it's true. I plan to visit Sheng Chenjin's house and see if I can feel his presence there."
Regardless of the reason, as long as Shi Xinxin was willing to leave this place, Tang Tang and Wen Xiaoxiao could finally relax.
"I'll start preparing immediately. Aunt Yun will go with you." With that, Tang Tang left, happily starting to prepare for Shi Xinxin's departure.
Shi Xinxin truly set off for Singapore. Aunt Yun also accompanied her. To take care of Shi Xinxin's daily life, it was more reassuring to have someone familiar by her side.
Watching Shi Xinxin leave, Tang Tang, Wen Xiaoxiao, and the others felt somewhat relieved, as she was finally willing to leave the house, even if it was to a distant place.
However, being able to go out and see things was the best for Shi Xinxin's current condition.
On one hand, what puzzled Tang Tang, Gao Yuan, and others was that even now, there was absolutely no news of Sheng Chenjin.
The morning sun lazily shone on the windowsill. Shi Xinxin rolled over and got up to wash. She was still wearing the athletic wear she hadn't changed for days. A baseball cap paired with sunglasses was perfect for hiding her tear-reddened eyes.
"Xiaoxiao, wake up." Shi Xinxin looked in the mirror, then took off her sunglasses and pounced on the bed, looking at Wen Xiaoxiao, who had just opened her eyes.
"So early?" Wen Xiaoxiao didn't expect Shi Xinxin to be so proactive. It was as if there was a blank space in Shi Xinxin's mind that she had deliberately forgotten.
Wen Xiaoxiao brushed away strands of hair from her face, her sleepy eyes slowly regaining clarity.
"By the way, I booked my flight for this afternoon, to America. The sooner the better." Wen Xiaoxiao closed her eyes again. Didn't Shi Xinxin need to pack? Did she really have to get up so early?
"Okay, I want to see if Sheng Chenjin is at the company. You, come with me." Shi Xinxin's gaze was incredibly sincere. Wen Xiaoxiao really didn't know what to say. She rubbed her hair.
"Alright, I'll come with you. You just want to know if Sheng Chenjin is at the company, right?"
