Chapter 1875: Something Is Missing
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What’s wrong, Qingyan?” Qin Yingyue asked from the side, afraid that there was something wrong with her.
“Auntie…”
Ji Qingyan said as she wiped her tears.
“Yo, yo, yo, why are you still crying? Wipe it quickly. If you have anything to say to me, I’ll help you.”
“I want to visit it again.”
Ji Qingyan cried even harder. She knew that once she left, she would never come here again.
She wanted to take one last look at that place full of memories and say her final goodbyes.
“You mean the place we went to yesterday?”
“Yeah.”
“Why not? Let’s not leave for now. We’ll go over now.”
Qin Yingyue knew that the place Ji Qingyan wanted to go to was a small island. After she woke up yesterday morning, she went straight there.
However, after she arrived, her emotions became extremely unstable.
For the sake of her health, Qin Yingyue did not really want her to go.
However, looking at her in this state, she could not bear to reject her.
At the thought of this, Qin Yingyue called the bodyguards behind her over and asked them to prepare the helicopter to go to the island that they had visited the day before.
Qin Yingyue did not know why Ji Qingyan was so obsessed with that place, but since she said she wanted to go, she would accompany her.
Soon, the helicopter was ready.
Ji Qingyan, Qin Yingyue, and the eight bodyguards boarded the helicopter and set off toward the blue sea.
The propeller of the helicopter hummed, but the two people onboard did not say a word.
If it was in the past, Ji Qingyan would definitely be talking non-stop as she sat beside Qin Yingyue.
Even if there were no more topics to talk about, she couldn’t let the atmosphere turn cold. After all, she was her future mother-in-law, so she had to build a good relationship with her.
However, ever since she boarded the chopper, her gaze had been fixed on the distant horizon and coastline.
Memories were like waves on the surface of the sea, always being stirred up inadvertently.
In the past, that memory was beautiful, but now, it was like sharp knives stabbing into her heart.
This was her way of healing herself. If she could survive it, she could slowly accept this reality.
Qin Yingyue’s heart ached when she saw Ji Qingyan’s desolate expression and her slender body.
There were countless times when she wanted to tell Ji Qingyan that Lin Yi was not dead.
But she didn’t know how to start.
Ji Qingyan already knew about the matter between him and Liang Ruoxu.
If she knew that her son wasn’t dead, then their relationship would enter a semi-different state again.
As a mother, she did not want to see such a thing happen.
Humans were selfish animals. Even Qin Yingyue could not help but be cruel.
Whether it was Ji Qingyan or Liang Ruoxu, she did not want to give either of them up.
She was also looking for a way to balance the two women, but she had yet to find one.
“Qingyan, listen to Auntie’s advice. We’ve already been here once yesterday. There’s no need for us to come again today.”
“Auntie, don’t worry. I’m just going to visit it. It’ll be fine.” Ji Qingyan forced a smile, indicating for Qin Yingyue not to worry.
Sigh…
Qin Yingyue sighed secretly. She did not know what to do.
About an hour later, the three helicopters landed on the island.
Ji Qingyan and Qin Yingyue got off the plane one after another.
The eight bodyguards accompanying them alighted from the two helicopters behind to protect Ji Qingyan and Qin Yingyue.
After alighting from the plane, Ji Qingyan stood rooted to the ground and surveyed her surroundings.
Behind him was the sound of the waves rolling and the rustling of the coconut trees.
It was as if the scene here had not changed from the day he passed away.
The only thing that changed was that the person accompanying her had disappeared.
He didn’t even give her a chance to hate him.
Ji Qingyan did not move at all. It was as if she wanted to seal every blade of grass and tree in her memory before she left.
She paused for a full ten minutes before slowly making her way to the villa ahead.
Without colorful phoenix wings, but with hearts that understood each other’s thoughts.
At this moment, Ji Qingyan felt the same as Lin Yi did yesterday.
Even though she came to say goodbye, those overwhelming memories surged like a tsunami, consuming her seemingly hardened heart.
Just thinking about how she would never see him again, and how the emotions in her heart would have no one to confide in, made her heart ache as if it were being cut by a knife.
Tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
Gently, Qin Yingyue handed her a tissue, which Ji Qingyan took and used to wipe her tears.
She then gathered her thoughts and prepared to move forward again.
Walking slowly to the door, Qin Yingyue and the accompanying bodyguards stayed outside.
When Ji Qingyan first came here yesterday, she didn’t let anyone else enter.
Qin Yingyue wasn’t upset. At this point, Ji Qingyan’s happiness was the most important thing.
Ji Qingyan entered the villa by scanning her fingerprint. Memories here had turned yellow with age, exuding a sense of nostalgia.
Looking around, she could still remember the scenery in the villa.
She still remembered how Lin Yi looked when he was cooking in the kitchen that day. She still remembered how they had a candlelight dinner together.
After dinner, the two of them went to the beach to look at the stars. They talked a lot at night and then fell asleep in each other’s arms…
Ji Qingyan suddenly stopped in her tracks, and her expression froze in an instant.
She was surprised to find that the photo frame she had placed on the sofa cabinet was gone!
She clearly remembered that when she came the day before, she had placed the photo frame there. When she left, she even took a look at it. Why did the photo frame disappear in just one night?!
All of a sudden, Ji Qingyan’s heart raced.
With quick steps, she ran towards the sofa!
The photo frame did not fall to the ground. There was nothing around.
“How, how could it be gone…”
At the thought of this, Ji Qingyan sprawled on the floor, trying to see if she had fallen into the gap between the sofas.
However, after checking, she did not find anything.
Following that, she rushed up to the second floor and checked every room.
Helplessly, she did not find anything. Furthermore, there were no signs of the room being searched.
Other than the photo frame, nothing seemed to have changed in the villa except for the photo frame.
Ji Qingyan’s expression changed as she found this matter unbelievable.
This was an isolated island out at sea. Other than furniture, there was nothing valuable in the house. There was no way this could be a robbery.
Other than that, only he and Lin Yi could open the door lock. No one else could enter!
So how did the photo frame disappear?
At the thought of this, Ji Qingyan hurriedly walked out. Qin Yingyue, who was standing outside, noticed that something was wrong with her and immediately went forward to ask.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Ji Qingyan looked at Qin Yingyue blankly.
“The thing I left behind in the villa is missing…”
