He Ming returned ho to familiar surroundings, a ho carefully decorated by Xiaong, which exuded warmth in every corner.
Every nook and cranny of the house was ticulously clean, reminding him of Xiaong tidying up. He felt like he was experiencing hallucinations.
He tossed his car keys onto the coffee table and slowly sank onto the sofa, covering his face with his hands, deeply pondering where the problem might lie.
She seed perfectly normal recently, except for feeling a bit down for a couple of days after returning from Shu Pan’s wedding. He guessed it was due to envy.
But he was planning a surprise for her too. Why envy others?
He hadn’t even had the chance to tell her yet, so why would she run away from ho?
Her silent departure left him clueless.
He thought about her friends. Shu Pan was her bestie, but she hadn’t even told Shu Pan. Her other friends were just acquaintances, unlikely to go out together.
He ran his hands through his hair, feeling utterly lost.
Finally, he had no choice but to pick up his phone and call Shu Pan.
“He Ming?” Shu Pan sounded uncertain. “Did you bring Xiaong back?”
Because she knew he was going to Xiaong’s house today.
“No, Xiaong is missing,” He Ming said, distressed.
“Missing? What do you an missing?” Shu Pan suddenly raised her voice, startling He Ming.
“Xiaong didn’t co back. She’s not at ho. I don’t know where she went,” He Ming regretted not paying more attention to Xiaong recently.
“Have you been to her house?”
“Yes, she hasn’t contacted you?” He Ming thought Xiaong would have contacted Shu Pan.
“No, how about this, I’ll give her a call later. If she picks up, I’ll ask her to contact you,” Shu Pan felt that Xiaong sotis acted impulsively, so she probably didn’t think much about it.
“Okay, thank you,” He Ming said gratefully.
After hanging up the phone, Shu Pan imdiately called Xiaong, but no one answered.
She tried again, but still no response.
Shu Pan started to feel anxious. Could Xiaong be deliberately not answering the phone to spite He Ming?
But it was impossible for her to ignore everyone’s calls.
Just then, the phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room.
Shu Pan checked and saw that it was Xiaong calling. She felt a wave of excitent and quickly answered the call.
“Xiaong, where have you been? We’ve all been worried sick,” Shu Pan didn’t wait for the other person to speak, she hurriedly said.
“Girl, calm down, I’m fine. I just ca to the beach for a couple of days. I’ve been feeling down lately, needed to clear my mind,” Xiaong explained.
“Well, you should have told He Ming. He’s been going crazy worrying about you,” Shu Pan thought Xiaong was being clueless.
“His mom hasn’t been feeling well recently, so I didn’t tell him, didn’t want him to worry,” Xiaong didn’t know why, but she just didn’t want to tell He Ming. The image of him walking out of the elevator with the beautiful woman that day kept replaying in her mind.
“Xiaong, do you rember there’s a little one inside you? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?” Shu Pan worried that Xiaong was being careless, especially after finally getting pregnant.
“I’m fine, I’ve checked with the doctor. And I’m just nearby, not going far,” Xiaong was more anxious than anyone. She just needed to clear her mind, afraid it might affect the baby.
“That’s good. He Ming has been calling you many tis, why didn’t you answer? And why didn’t you return his calls after seeing missed calls?” Shu Pan finished, then asked softly, “Is there a problem between you two?”
