The airport announcement echoed through the cavernous hall. Escorted by two bodyguards in black suits, Xu Huan walked slowly toward the international boarding gate. Her suitcase was light, containing only a few changes of clothes, much like the hollow, empty feeling in her heart. The sound of her heels clicking against the floor was unnervingly sharp in the quiet of the early morning.
Xu Huan could feel several gazes fixed on her back like needles, but she did not look behind her. It was not until she reached the security checkpoint that she stopped and turned slowly. Xu Jiahe, Xu Jiayan, and Xu Jiaming stood not far away. They were dressed in suits and ties, their expressions cold, as if they were conducting a business negotiation rather than seeing off their own kin.
"I will leave, just as you all wish," Xu Huan said, her voice soft yet every word crystal clear. "You had better keep your word and stop bothering him."
