Chương 103: The Wait

It had been two days since Jin Qing left and never returned home. 

Long Mei was beside herself, wondering where he was, what he was doing. She waited and distracted herself with videos and her hobbies until she was tired and had enough. 

In her flowy nightgown, in the middle of the night, she took the car and drove straight to Nikolai's house. There was no one else on the planet that'd he go to other than Nikolai. 

When she arrived, she knocked on the door loud enough to wake whoever was inside. Nikolai hastily opened the door, looking down at her with something like pity on his face. 

"He's not here," he told her. 

"Where is he?"

Niko sighed. "I haven't seen him at all." 

Long Mei could see the light peer from behind him. There were two empty glasses on the counter, which suggested Niko was not alone. She pushed past him, entering his domain uninvited.
