Chapter 842 is somewhat unusual.

"Okay, I'll definitely be back soon. You can find something to do tonight! I'll miss you, mwah!"

Before Fu Yanzun could respond, the call was disconnected.

Fu Yanzun looked at the phone that had already been hung up and sighed helplessly.

Even saying "I miss you" is so perfunctory. Sometimes I really don't know what's going on in this girl's head.

Fu Yanzun was all alone and didn't really want to go home.

During this period, Tang Wan'er was busy with work and working overtime, so the two of them basically had no time to communicate.

Fu Yanzun didn't want to go back to an empty room alone, so he usually chose to work overtime at the company or bring his work home.

The company recently secured a large project that required his personal involvement, leaving him feeling somewhat exhausted. He wanted to relax and unwind today.

After much deliberation, she finally made a phone call to Qi Xuan.

Speaking of which, Qi Xuan has been unusually quiet lately. He rarely speaks in their usual group chat, and even when he does, it's just a brief mention of...

They disappeared without a trace after just a few words.

I was too busy before, so I didn't pay much attention to his emotional issues. But now that I think about it, his recent quietness is a bit unlike his usual way of doing things.

Given Qi Xuan's personality, he used to meet up with them at least three to five times a week, and they would host countless gatherings a month. But now, almost a month has passed, and it seems like he hasn't contacted them at all. They don't know what's wrong with him.

Qi Xuan has indeed been working very hard lately. He used to be a carefree person, thinking that he was going to be the company's heir anyway, so he didn't really think about being ambitious and hardworking.

During this period, he was unusually diligent, spending almost every day at the company, and sometimes even living there.

His unusual behavior is truly baffling.

However, his parents were quite pleased to see his change. They used to be most annoyed by his carefree attitude and his complete lack of concern for work, which led to his father losing his temper with him many times.

Qi Xuan was driving when he received Fu Yanzun's call.

He pressed the answer button.

Jian's voice was cold and indifferent, completely different from his usual energetic self.

"Ayan, is there something you need?"

After all, they were childhood friends, and just from the tone of his voice, I knew something must have happened to him.

"Do you have time today? Want to grab a drink?"

Qi Xuan suddenly smiled, a hint of weariness in his smile. "Did I hear that right? You asked me out for drinks? This is definitely a first for you! But I have something to do right now. Have you eaten? Want to grab a bite together later?"

"OK!"

"Then I'll see the Emperor later!"

When Fu Yanzun arrived at the Emperor's Palace, Qi Xuan had already arrived.

On his way here, he had been thinking about why Qi Xuan had been acting so strangely lately.

So she didn't call Ling Junhuai and Xiao Muyang, but wanted to talk to Qi Xuan alone. She didn't know if something had happened to him, but she didn't want to tell them.

Of the four of them, the two of them had the best relationship and almost no secrets between them, so if Fu Yanzun wanted to know about Qi Xuan, he probably wouldn't hide it from him.
