Xu Yanfeng still couldn't believe that Xia Xi was gone like that, so he called her several more times.

The result was no different from before. The voice reminded him again and again that the other party had turned off the phone.

Xu Yanfeng pinched his eyebrows and wandered around the room helplessly.

Is it possible that Xia Xi took the two children back to Su Jinru's place to spend the weekend?

In a blink of an eye, he overturned this guess. Is it necessary to take the suitcase with him during the weekend?

Xu Yanfeng's discomfort after being drunk disappeared at this moment, leaving only panic.

Regardless of whether Xia Xi went back or not, he had to confirm it.

Xu Yanfeng didn't have Su Jinru and Xia Yue's numbers, so a few seconds later, he called the driver.

Before the driver came, Xu Yanfeng changed his clothes, wearing a casual striped shirt and a casual jacket. When he walked to the elevator, he realized that he had forgotten to change his shoes, so he turned back.

The car was driving steadily and quickly on the road. The window was open a crack, and the wind brought some spring warmth.

The landscape trees on both sides were tall, dense and lush, but Xu Yanfeng had no intention of appreciating them. He placed his fingers on his lower lip, and a knot formed between his brows, sometimes deeper and sometimes lighter.

The car was parked outside Lantingwan Community.

Xu Yanfeng knew which building and which household Su Jinru lived in, but it was not appropriate to break into someone's house on a weekend, so he sat in the car, thinking about what method would be safer to use to find out whether Xia Xi was there.

Perhaps God heard Xu Yanfeng's thoughts. He glanced out the car window inadvertently and caught a glimpse of two familiar figures walking slowly out of the community.

Isn’t that Su Jinru and Xia Yue?

Xia Yue held the shopping cart that the elderly loved to use with one hand, and held Su Jinru's arm with the other. The two talked and laughed, basking in the sunshine.

Xu Yanfeng got out of the car immediately as if he had seen a savior.

His car was conspicuous, and he was even more so. Su Jinru noticed him as she stepped out of the gate and stopped. Xia Yue also stopped, following her mother's gaze to the right. She was slightly surprised to see Xu Yanfeng.

Xu Yanfeng went over and nodded gently: "Have Xia Xi and the child come?"

Xia Yue asked doubtfully, "You don't know?"

Xu Yanfeng was more confused than her. What should he know?

"Xixi went on a business trip to North City and took the two children there to play." Xia Yue was unsure of his and Xia Xi's current situation and dragged out her words, "Didn't she tell you?"

Xu Yanfeng: “…”

Xia Xi went on a business trip to Beicheng. It’s good that she wasn’t scared away by him.

This is how people's bottom line is lowered. As long as she doesn't run away, leaving without saying goodbye doesn't matter.

"I understand." Xu Yanfeng breathed a sigh of relief, his lips slightly curved.

"You guys..." Su Jinru hesitated to speak.

Xu Yanfeng didn't want his elders to speculate, so he took the initiative to explain: "I drank too much last night. Xia Xi didn't tell me about her business trip. This morning, I found out that she and the child were missing. I couldn't get through to her on the phone, and I was a little anxious."

Su Jinru understood and was no longer worried.

Xia Yue took out her phone from her bag, checked the time, and said to Xu Yanfeng, "Xixi is still on the plane. It's normal that you can't contact her."

Xu Yanfeng said "hmm" and asked with more concern: "Where are you going? I'll take you there."

"Don't bother you anymore." Xia Yue waved her hand and pointed ahead. "We're going to the supermarket to stock up on groceries. It's just two blocks away. The weather is nice, so we plan to take a walk."

Xu Yanfeng said goodbye to the two and got into the car.

The driver routinely asked where we were going next.

Xu Yanfeng leaned back and relaxed. Then the headache came back. He didn't want to go to the company in this state. He said, "Let's go home."

The driver turned around and went back the same way he came.

After arriving home, Xu Yanfeng drank half a cup of warm water. Less than five minutes after sitting down, his phone rang. He pulled it out of his pocket and answered it immediately: "Xia Xi!"

Not long after getting off the plane, Xia Xi was dragging a suitcase and Huang Shiyu was holding her two children. Before they left the airport, there were people coming and going around them.

Hearing Xu Yanfeng calling her name solemnly, Xia Xi paused, a little confused: "What's wrong?"

As soon as she turned on her phone, she saw several missed calls, all from Xu Yanfeng, and she quickly called him back. He was so anxious, it was hard not to suspect that the house was on fire.

After seeing Xu Yanfeng frying eggs, it didn't seem surprising that the house was on fire.

Xu Yanfeng's tone was a little intense: "Why didn't you tell me last night that you were going to North City on a business trip today?"

He settled the score with her later.

Thinking of the confusion, panic, helplessness, anxiety he had felt this morning, the exhaustion from running back and forth, and the headaches that came from time to time, he wanted to teach her a lesson.

We must make three rules with her: she can't disappear like this anymore. It's really a test of one's mentality.

Xia Xi was quiet for a while, then looked towards Huang Shiyu and the two children, and lowered her voice: "You were drunk last night."

Xu Yanfeng: "Then why didn't you say that while we were eating?"

"I forgot." Xia Xi said calmly.

"Xia Xi, could you please consider my feelings for a moment? You disappeared with the two children so early in the morning. I was worried that something might have happened to you."

Xia Xi scratched the handle of the suitcase with her nails, her lips were pursed, and the noisy voices around her drowned out her heartbeat.

Not hearing her voice, Xu Yanfeng suspected that it was because his tone was too cold. He calmed down and slowly reasoned with her, "Even if you treat my house like a hotel, we are still living together. Even for roommates, wouldn't a normal person have to inform each other before going on a long trip?"
