Chapter 46 Sir, Madam is Gone
Ji Peiheng pressed his temples, the veins of which were bulging uncontrollably, and opened his phone to check.
Shi Yang has not yet replied.
He asked, "Are you busy?"
There has still been no reply.
He wants to see her!
Now!
"Liao Nan! Prepare the car, I want to go home."
Liao Nan had just seen Ji Jinyu off when she leaned in and asked, "But didn't you have an appointment with President Chu?"
Ji Peiheng is always meticulous in his work and never misses a work-related invitation.
He repeated it again: "Get the car ready!"
On the way home.
Liao Nan couldn't help but ask, "President Ji, is there something important that you need to come home for?"
So determined to go home, he even neglected his clients.
Bathed in the dazzling light of the setting sun, that's the direction home.
The golden light bathed his handsome face, outlining a warm, golden edge.
Ji Peiheng smiled and said, "Mm."
He wanted to go home, have a meal with her, and see her smile.
That's more important than a contract worth hundreds of billions.
A cell phone rang abruptly.
Ji Peiheng glanced at it; it was Aunt Cui calling.
Aunt Cui rarely calls him unless it's something important.
"What's wrong, Aunt Cui?"
On the other end of the phone, Aunt Cui hesitated before speaking, "Sir, Madam has left."
Ji Peiheng was taken aback: "Gone? Where did you go?"
"I don't know. They said he suddenly went on a business trip. His wife didn't leave any words when she left, and her expression wasn't good either."
The car turned a corner, and the setting sun disappeared behind them, leaving no light inside the car.
Ji Peiheng's face tightened instantly: "Wait for me to get back."
Liao Nan immediately sensed something was wrong and stepped on the gas, speeding up.
...
Aunt Cui was waiting at the door early in the morning.
Ji Peiheng got out of the car: "What happened?"
"I don't know, my wife just left without warning."
Ji Peiheng glanced around the living room with a tense expression, then went upstairs.
Aunt Cui followed closely behind.
Ji Peiheng stood at the bedroom door and glanced at it. Just as when he left, the bed was tidy, and the plush pillow that she had almost plucked all the fur off was still on the bedside table.
He opened the closet, his sharp eyes scanning the area, and noticed that several of her usual clothes were missing.
I went to the bathroom again and noticed that a few cosmetics were missing.
It seems he really is on a business trip.
And the trip won't be long; I'll be back soon.
But Ji Peiheng knew that something was wrong.
That's not right.
He called Shi Yang several times, but no one answered.
"Did she have any unusual reactions today?"
Aunt Cui thought back carefully: "Madam was quite happy this morning, and even took the initiative to bring you a lunchbox, and then she came back..."
"Delivering a food box? She came to see me?" Ji Peiheng's eyebrows immediately furrowed, and his sharp eyes shot towards Aunt Cui like arrows.
Aunt Cui nodded blankly: "Yes, didn't you know?"
Ji Peiheng pursed his lips; he didn't know.
No one told him.
He looked at Liao Nan: "Call the front desk."
Liao Nan didn't dare delay and immediately contacted the receptionist: "Did Designer Shi go to the company today?"
The receptionist said, "Yes, he went. He said he was looking for General Manager Ji."
"when?"
The receptionist, puzzled, said, "Around nine in the morning."
Liao Nan then asked, "Why didn't anyone tell President Ji?"
The receptionist sounded a little aggrieved: "At that time, President Ji was meeting with guests, and there was no one in the president's office. Besides, Designer Shi always comes directly to President Ji, so we just sent her upstairs."
Was there anything unusual when the designer left?
The receptionist was really stumped. With so many people coming and going from the Ji family every day, how could they possibly pay attention to everyone's expression?
"No... I don't think so."
After asking around for a long time without getting any information, Ji Peiheng sat by the window, pressing his wrist against his brow.
He knew she was a quiet person, but definitely not the type to leave without a word.
Her unusual behavior occurred after she went to the Ji family. So, what happened at the Ji family?
He was meeting with guests when she arrived.
Who are you meeting with?
Ji Peiheng repeatedly recalled his activities throughout the day.
Chu He!
He was meeting Chu He at that time.
Could it be that she saw Chu He and that caused some misunderstanding?
Aunt Cui was worried because Shi Yang suddenly went on a business trip and his expression seemed off, so she called Ji Peiheng.
Seeing Ji Peiheng's serious expression, she suddenly panicked: "Sir, is Madam not coming back?"
"She will definitely come back!"
His emphasized tone seemed to confirm something.
He told Liao Nan, "Find out where your wife went, and also book me a plane ticket."
Liao Nan set about it.
They quickly found Shi Yang's flight records.
"Madam went to Rongcheng, but there are no more flights to Rongcheng today."
Ji Peiheng pinched the bridge of his nose: "Activate the private jet."
Liao Nan felt it was unnecessary: "Mr. Ji, your wife booked round-trip tickets, and it shows she will be back in three days."
Ji Peiheng repeated it again: "Go and do it!"
Liao Nan dared not delay any longer.
...
By then, Shi Yang had already landed.
Once the phone got a signal, the first thing that came in was Ji Peiheng's missed calls.
Shi Yang pretended not to see it.
She and Xiaoyan went straight to the hotel after leaving the airport.
Traveling is the most tiring thing.
Her back was about to break after a three-hour flight.
Shi Yang lay down on the bed to rest as soon as he entered the hotel.
Xiao Yan lay down for a while, yawned, and asked, "Sis, why are you suddenly leaving today? We can come back tomorrow, it won't be a problem, and we don't have to rush like this."
Shi Yang mumbled, "The sooner we get here, the sooner we can start, and the sooner we can finish."
Xiao Yan said sleepily, "That's true."
They ordered takeout, ate a simple meal, and then rested.
In my sleep, thunder suddenly started outside.
Shi Yang was startled awake.
She shuddered in fear and curled up into a ball.
His gaze shifted to Xiaoyan, who was fast asleep.
She suddenly thought of Ji Peiheng. He would hold her every time there was thunder. After they got married, she would sleep soundly on those stormy nights that used to be unbearable.
She got even angrier.
It's only been a short time, what kind of weird habit is this?
She can only sleep well when Ji Peiheng is around?
You're not a child anymore!
Besides!
He's a bastard!
She cursed him again in her heart.
Ji Peiheng is a bastard!
It's not worth her thinking about!
She spent the night silently cursing Ji Peiheng in her heart.
...
The weather was sunny when I went out this morning.
The air was exceptionally fresh after the rain.
Shi Yang closed his eyes and gently inhaled the scent of the earth in the air.
My soul felt cleansed.
The hotel I'm staying at isn't far from where I'll be working; it's just a few hundred meters away.
When they arrived, a man was talking to the construction workers in front of them.
Shi Yang glanced at him from the side and saw that the man was drawing a design on a tablet.
He is also a designer.
He only sketched a rough outline, but Shi Yang could tell that those few strokes were not simple.
The design concept is clear, the lines are simple and concise, and the style is unique.
Seemingly sensing that he was being watched, he turned his head to look at her.
With a smile playing on her lips, she said, "Shi Yang."
