Never had I felt such a conflicting sensation.
I don’t know what Tang Yuxiu is doing right now, if he has finished dinner, if he’s ho yet, or if he happened to go out for socializing today and will return very late?
Then he’ll find she hasn’t returned ho, but he’s too tired and just showers and sleeps without caring about her.
Or he thinks she’s too engrossed in a conversation with colleagues and doesn’t want to disturb her, so he stays in his own world.
Gu Yan only thinks of bad outcos, making her originally slightly relaxed mood heavy and oppressive again.
Feeling increasingly like crying!
Tang Yuxiu went straight back to the villa after work.
The villa was empty, and as he stood at the door, he suddenly felt a chill of solitude.
During this period, he had gotten used to Gu Yan being by his side, either returning ho with him or already being at ho when he finished work.
With her around, there was always endless conversation for so reason; he was not particularly talkative yet could always respond to her words, stimulating her sohow.
Every ti he saw her angry expression after being teased by him, he felt delighted.
A certain feeling unknowingly filled his heart, and he didn’t even know when it started; he simply couldn’t forget this feeling.
Just like today, with Gu Yan not returning with him, he sohow felt uneasy.
Without her voice or breathing in his ears, everything felt cold and lonely, lacking any warmth or liveliness.
He frowned slightly, changed shoes, and went indoors.
He scanned the living room and kitchen, finding no sign of Gu Yan bustling back and forth, and felt disinterested in everything.
After showering upstairs, he went to the study to work, but sohow couldn’t focus on the text in the docunts.
Frustrated, he tossed the docunts aside, leaned on the chair back, and involuntarily thought of Gu Yan. She must be having dinner with colleagues right now, chatting happily and probably forgetting about him completely.
He suddenly stared intensely at the phone on the desk, that heartless lousy woman, not even a call to ask if he had eaten or if he wanted anything brought back!
Checking his watch, it was already past seven, and the night outside was close to dark.
Hadn’t he ntioned she should return before dark!
Did she take his words for re sounds in the air, nowhere to be seen at this ti!
Okay, even if she’s at the nearest bus stop now, it takes at least half an hour to walk back, can’t she call him to pick her up!
Sigh, forget it, this woman is so clueless she wouldn’t think to ask him for a ride, surely walking step by step back.
Fine, wait another half hour! I’ll forgive you for another half hour!
Who knows what this woman is thinking, going out for dinner with colleagues with her hand injury and bruises!
Young Master Tang is just like a typical forlorn woman in seclusion, feeling abandoned by Gu Yan.
Trapped in the music room, Gu Yan suddenly shivered, sneezed, and couldn’t help rubbing her arms.
Feeling increasingly cold and afraid.
That sneeze made her heart tense up.
In the darkness, she looked mournful, wishing soone would co to save her!
If soone rescued her tonight, she would agree to anything imdiately!
This place was too terrifying; she didn’t want to stay a second longer.
Yet the more she resisted, the slower ti passed, and the fear in her heart beca unmistakably apparent, making it impossible to ignore even a bit.
Tang Yuxiu, darn you, when I need you, where is your conscience? Not worried or searching for after returning late!
Sobbing, Tang Yuxiu, where are you, hurry up and rescue !
At this mont, the only person Gu Yan could think of was Tang Yuxiu; only knew of Tang Yuxiu!
Lixin Villa.
Half an hour passed, and the sky was completely dark, the study light bright, Tang Yuxiu stared at his phone, listening for noises downstairs, yet it remained quiet.
Wait another two minutes.
Two minutes soon passed, still no sound, and no calls coming in.
Alright, wait another two minutes.
Yet within less than two seconds, Young Master Tang grabbed the phone, damn it no more waiting!
Gu Yan, that annoying woman, why make him wait so long? Doesn’t think to call even when late, leaning on his guilt towards her to ignore him!
Young Master Tang cursed internally while dialing Gu Yan’s number.
Soon, the phone delivered a cold chanical female voice, "Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."
Followed by a repetition in English, then repeating.
Young Master Tang frowned, unable to connect the call?
This woman’s courage was growing, not returning and daring to turn off her phone!
Darn!
Young Master Tang was furious.
Dialing several more tis was still unreachable, Young Master Tang angrily threw down the phone.
Suddenly, a thought sprang up. Was she not having dinner with colleagues but finding an excuse to et Qin Junnan?
Thinking of this possibility made Young Master Tang’s face utterly grim.
You Shuyang, how dare you sneak off to have a rendezvous with Qin Junnan behind my back and even lie to !
Tang Yuxiu was very angry.
But after a long ti, he gradually cald down. Previously, he had seen her run into Qin Junnan, then get into his car, and Qin Junnan sent her back. He was so enraged that he spoke carelessly and almost hurt her.
Later, it was proven that she really hadn’t lied; she hadn’t told him a single lie from start to finish.
Previously, because of his distrust, he treated her so poorly and hurt her. This ti, should he still insist on his own belief?
If he wronged her again, wouldn’t it cause another instance of harm?
Thinking of the last ti, the helpless and desperate look he caused Gu Yan, and the scene of her taking sleeping pills and passing out in the bathtub, along with her resistant and fearful gaze when she woke up, made him feel thoroughly uncomfortable and his heart ache in pangs.
Luckily, Gu Yan hadn’t returned at this ti, granting him a period to calm down and let his thoughts clear up.
He was almost certain that Gu Yan wouldn’t lie, but why hadn’t she returned so late? Why was her phone unreachable?
Could it be that her phone ran out of battery?
Even if it’s out of battery, that wouldn’t stop her from coming back. If it was too late, why wouldn’t she borrow a colleague’s phone and call to inform him?
Tang Yuxiu racked his brain but couldn’t figure it out. Gu Yan wasn’t soone to leave things up in the air. If none of the normal reasons made sense, there seed to be only one possibility.
Tang Yuxiu imdiately picked up his phone and dialed You Shuyang’s number.
When You Shuyang answered, Tang Yuxiu said directly, "Help find out where Gu Yan is right now."
You Shuyang was puzzled, "Wasn’t Miss Gu out having dinner with colleagues? It’s already eight o’clock, hasn’t she co back yet?"
Tang Yuxiu kept a calm face, though You Shuyang couldn’t see it.
"If she had co back, would I need you to check her whereabouts?"
You Shuyang, "...Didn’t Miss Gu have her phone with her?"
"It’s unreachable!"
You Shuyang, "...Alright, Young Master, I will go check now."
After hanging up, Tang Yuxiu leaned against the chair back, his deep eyes unfathomable.
He hoped it wasn’t what he suspected, that nothing bad had happened to her.
You Shuyang was always very efficient. Within an hour, he called Tang Yuxiu back.
"Young Master, I checked several tis. There are no records of Miss Gu leaving the company."
He emphasized repeatedly checking, aning that it was confird Gu Yan hadn’t left the company.
"What about her colleagues?"
"All employees from the entertainnt departnt have left the company and no one returned. If Miss Gu went out to eat with colleagues, she should have left the company with one of them."
So, according to the current situation, Gu Yan was still in the company.
"She couldn’t possibly stay there alone so late."
"Young Master, the company has long since been closed and the lights turned off. It’s possible if Miss Gu was unable to leave and got trapped inside."
You Shuyang didn’t ntion that he suspected soone might have deliberately trapped Gu Yan in the company, as it was just a guess he couldn’t prove.
The most important thing now was to go and search the company.
Tang Yuxiu imdiately stood up and returned to the bedroom to change clothes, "Hurry to the company now, I’m heading out right away."
"Yes, Young Master."
After the call, Tang Yuxiu changed clothes at the fastest speed, then quickly went downstairs to drive to the company.
You Shuyang didn’t dawdle either and imdiately drove to the company.
The Tang Group building was enveloped in darkness, not a bit of light seeped through.
The Tang Group’s circuits were set with automatic cut-off and recovery circuits on the top floor, and the front door was electronically automated. Fortunately, You Shuyang, as Tang Yuxiu’s main assistant, always carried the key to the side door of the building.
This was also prepared in case of any ergencies that required coming to the company.
Shortly after he arrived, Tang Yuxiu also reached there.
You Shuyang was secretly surprised, how fast had he been driving to get here? Hopefully, he hadn’t been in a crash?
He wasn’t worried about Tang Yuxiu being in a car accident, but worried he might have hit soone and just left them behind to rush here.
Tang Yuxiu’s eyes were intensely focused, and his expression wasn’t good. You Shuyang didn’t dare to joke around; he opened the side door and, with a flashlight, they both headed up the stairs to the entertainnt departnt on the fifteenth floor.
In the office of the music group in the entertainnt departnt, You Shuyang swept a flashlight carefully around the room, not seeing anyone.
Tang Yuxiu went to Gu Yan’s desk and found her backpack, instantly frowning, "She really didn’t leave the company; her bag is still here. Where is she?"
You Shuyang said, "Young Master, since we’re sure Miss Gu is still in the company, we will definitely find her."
"Then hurry up and find her!" Tang Yuxiu shouted angrily.
The entire building was so dark, with no one else around. She had been here alone for several hours. One didn’t even have to think to know how scared she must be!
Tang Yuxiu directly took out his phone and turned on the flashlight function, telling You Shuyang, "Let’s split up to search."
You Shuyang nodded and went to search the outer offices.
Tang Yuxiu walked around the music group’s office once more. After confirming that Gu Yan wasn’t there, he left.
You Shuyang looked for exits while Tang Yuxiu searched the inner half.
He passed by the office of the modeling group, still without any trace of Gu Yan.
His brow furrowed deeper and deeper — where could she be?
