章 1406: Chapter 1400: Going Home_1

"What? Xue Ling hasn't returned yet." As soon as Qin Xue arrived home, she asked Fang Xiu if Xue Ling had returned, getting an answer that worried her.

"He hasn't returned." Fang Xiu responded, shaking her head.

"Where could he have gone then? We've been waiting for him for quite some time now, but he remains missing. We thought he had returned, and now that he's not here, where should we look for him? Chu Molin, you don't suppose he's been snatched and eaten by someone?" Qin Xue grew increasingly anxious. The young man was so handsome; if he fell into the wrong hands and was defiled, she could barely bear to think of it.

It wasn't that Qin Xue was overly cautious, but that there were truly perverse and deviant individuals in the world who preyed on children. She worried that Xue Ling might have fallen into such horrific circumstances.
