"I have to go back to work. Thank you for your time."
At the dinner table, Lin Zhi spoke calmly, and there was no sign that there was anything wrong with her.
"Put work aside for now."
Fu Lanchen looked at her, his deep eyes filled with heartache and worry.
He was very anxious because he couldn't find his child.
Ever since he found out that the child she had secretly raised for several years was his, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart.
Lin Zhi raised his eyes, his gaze cold.
"In our marriage agreement, we will not interfere with each other's careers."
Fu Lanchen didn't expect her to be so stubborn. He could see her determination in her eyes.
"Sarah was lost in Country M. I've already had people casting a wide net to search for her."
Lin Zhi listened without saying anything and kept stuffing food into his mouth.
During the two weeks at Rose Castle, someone would report to him every day about her condition. They all said she was in a bad state and couldn't eat. Now, this situation made him even more worried.
"Lin Zhi, I don't mean to interfere with you. I just think Sarah's matter...you need to rest more."
She remained silent, occasionally picking up the water glass on the table and taking a sip of water.
Her eyes never met his, as if she was sulking.
Fu Lanchen held the cutlery in his hand, but had no intention of eating. His dark eyes were fixed on Lin Zhi, afraid of missing any of her expressions.
On the other hand, Lin Zhi was eating with big mouthfuls, as if today's meal was particularly delicious.
Fu Lanchen knew that she hadn't eaten properly in the past two weeks. Wolfing down her food now was a way of making up for it.
After a few minutes, she put down her cutlery and wiped her mouth with a tissue.
The next second, he stood up and left the table.
Fu Lanchen lost his composure, put down the cutlery in his hand, and followed him to the living room.
"Lin Zhi, we are husband and wife now. You have to learn to rely on me. Sarah has been missing her father's love for four years. Don't worry, I will do my best to bring her back."
"Do you know how big Country M is?"
Lin Zhiding stopped and turned around with tears streaming down her face.
Fu Lanchen felt as if his heart was pierced by needles. "No matter how big it is, we can find it. Lin Zhi, you have to believe..."
Lin Zhi didn't want to listen to him, so she interrupted him with a choked voice, "It's all you, it's all because of you. You must have offended someone, otherwise how could someone in Country F be robbing people at gunpoint? I never encountered any danger in Country M during my four years there. Now that you and I are in Country F at the same time, danger has immediately found us."
“…”
Fu Lanchen lowered his head guiltily, unable to refute for a moment.
It was indeed caused by him. If it had been from the very beginning, he should not have stopped investigating the whereabouts of the killer just because he fled Country F, but should have investigated it thoroughly to prevent future troubles.
"Where are you going so late?"
Seeing Lin Zhi walking across the living room towards the entrance, Fu Lanchen's heart tightened.
Lin Zhi acted as if she didn't hear what he said and changed her shoes at the entrance.
He walked over quickly and grabbed her arm the moment she opened the door.
Lin Zhi didn't turn around, and said coldly: "I've delayed too much work, I have to go home and prepare."
Fu Lanchen frowned, "Can't you just wait for news at home?"
"If I wait any longer, I'll die."
Lin Zhi said this cruelly, shook off his arm, and disappeared into the night without looking back.
Fu Lanchen stood there motionlessly, and after a long time he came to his senses. He wanted to chase after her, but it was too late.
Lin Zhi returned to his rented house and contacted the director of the film crew, asking to go back to work the next day.
Since the director's agent asked for leave, he didn't know what had happened in the past half month.
"Andy, other artists filled in for the two episodes you were absent from. Now that you're back early, I'll notify the artists that they don't need to come to the recording anymore."
"Okay, please director."
…
At night, Lin Zhi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Sarah's adorable little face and images of her in daily life kept flashing through her mind, and tears kept falling.
She chose to go back to work at this time, partly to distract herself from the world she had lost Sarah. Plus, actors can't be without work for too long. Another reason was her deep trust in Fu Lanchen, knowing he had the ability to find Sarah.
If Sarah was not Fu Lanchen's, she might have gone to look for him herself. However, the situation was different now. Fu Lanchen was not only her husband, but also her daughter's father. He was the sky of this family. With him around, she felt at ease.
*
Back in the mountains, Lin Zhi's condition was noticeably worse than before. She looked incredibly tired, and even a thick layer of foundation couldn't hide the dark circles under her eyelids.
His eyes were dull and his mind was absent.
After the recording session ended for the day, she went to a nearby temple.
Although it is in the mountains, the incense is still very popular.
Lin Zhi never believed in ghosts and gods, but this time because of Sarah, she walked over specially to burn incense and worship Buddha, and was very pious.
After worshipping the Buddha separately, she went to buy a luck-praying plaque, praying to find Sarah as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, while writing, the person selling the listing suddenly said, "Use your real name."
Lin Zhi looked at the sign that already had 'Sarah' written on it, feeling a bit overwhelmed. "It's wrong, what should I do?"
The boss was a middle-aged woman with a low ponytail and looked very simple.
Lin Zhi thought she would ask him to buy another sign, but she handed him a new one instead and said, "I'll give it to you. No charge."
Lin Zhi didn't care about anything else. He quickly wrote down his prayer and hung it on the wishing tree. Then he opened his phone to pay.
