Chapter 226 Cold War

The weather in Taiheyuan was clear and crisp in the early morning, and the wind had the chill unique to late autumn. The wheels of the car rolled over the golden ginkgo leaves and slowly stopped in front of the gate of the courtyard.

Shuang Xu got out of the car, walked up the white steps and opened the door.

The excitement of last night left the place in silence, and the decorations in the house had not yet been put away.

Wansui didn't come to pick her up. I don't know if it was because it was too early and it was still asleep on the second floor.

She held onto the handrail and went up to the second floor, thinking all the way about how she would face it if He Tingzhou gave her a cold look.

I opened the bedroom door and there was no one inside.

The bed was made smooth and without any marks, as if it had never been touched.

He Tingzhou is not at home?

Wansui is not here either.

It's only seven o'clock. He won't get up so early.

She stopped walking, and there was no other sound in the whole house. It was so quiet that you could almost hear an echo.

As she walked down from the second floor, she saw the helicopter through the glass on the back lawn.

It was too dark last night and there were no lights in the yard, so she didn't notice that the outside had been decorated.

The path leading to the yard was paved with candles and was still lit. Frost walked out from the middle and saw the beautiful waterfall of crushed ice and blue roses.

The petals flowed into the swimming pool like water, forming a light blue ocean.

When coming out of Taiheyuan, Shuang Xu called He Tingzhou, but no one answered.

She didn't contact He Tingzhou the whole day.

When the phone call was made to Xu Zhen, he also made various excuses. Xu Zhen's tone was tactful and cautious, making it clear that it was He Tingzhou who had instructed him.

Seeing that her call didn't go through, Xiao Liao glanced at his phone after a while, then put it away, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"Did you have a quarrel with the young boss lady?"

Shuang Xu said "hmm".

Xiao Liao shook his head in dismay: "When Mr. He came back yesterday, his face looked really bad. This was the first time I knew what the color of iron blue was."

Shuang Xu didn't say anything, but his fingers seemed to be concentrating on typing on the keyboard. When I looked closely, I saw a string of gibberish.

"There's a red spot on his sleeve, it looks like he's bleeding."

Frost Preface suddenly turned towards her.

Xiao Liao said: "It could also be the spilled red wine."

How could red wine and blood be the same color? Besides, He Tingzhou didn’t even touch red wine yesterday.

Shuang Xu immediately took the car keys and stood up, walking out while calling Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen's attitude towards her was as polite and respectful as always: "Boss Shuang."

Shuang Xu asked, "Did he hurt the wound yesterday?"

Not sure if it was her illusion, but Xu Zhen seemed relieved and answered very clearly this time: "General He's wound was broken and bleeding, and he didn't go to the hospital until the morning. The doctor has already treated it again."

He Tingzhou has such a bad temper and if no one is watching him, he will definitely not go to the hospital immediately.

Shuang Xu walked into the elevator and pressed the minus button: "I won't make it difficult for you. I'm going to look for him now. Can you tell him for me?"

"I will tell Mr. He, but he may not be available when you get here. He is quite busy today."

He said it tactfully, and Shuang Xu understood what he meant.

She drove to Yundun, and when she walked into the lobby, the front desk clerk bowed respectfully to greet her, and no one stopped her from getting on the elevator.

It seems that He Tingzhou forgot to ask someone to put up a sign "Song Shuangxu, No Entry" on the door.

When she arrived at the president's office on the top floor, by coincidence, she saw a group of people coming towards her as soon as she stepped out of the elevator.

The person surrounded in the center was He Tingzhou, with his hands in his pockets. His face with excellent bone structure looked like it had just been pulled out of ice water, and one look at it would freeze one's eyes.

Several executives greeted her with smiles when they saw her. Shuang Xu walked towards him: "He Tingzhi..."

Before she finished uttering the last word, He Tingzhou had already walked past her without even glancing at her.

As if she was just a piece of air, not worth his even a glance.

The executives were all surprised when they saw this. They looked at her, then at He Tingzhou's back. They didn't know the situation and didn't dare to say anything.

Shuang Xu stood there for two seconds, then turned around and followed him into the elevator.

Xu Zhen and the others pressed against the back wall of the elevator, huddling as closely as possible. Shuang Xu stood next to He Tingzhou. From her angle, she could only see his indifferent and cold jawline.

Shuang Xu looked at his left arm: "How is your injury? What did the doctor say?"

He Tingzhou said three words without any warmth: "You can't die."

The person behind him looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Shuang Xu said, "I have explained the deal to my brother clearly. He will not be angry with you anymore and will not mention it again."

He Tingzhou finally spoke, a short and sarcastic sneer: "You two siblings can handle your issues at home. You don't have to tell me. No one is interested."

It's that infuriating tone again.

"Would you mind not talking like that? I called you a lot today."

He Tingzhou said coldly, "You left with your brother, why are you calling me? Do you still want me to congratulate you?"

The elevator beeped and reached the first floor.

Shuang Xu took a deep breath and said, "I'll wait for you at home tonight and we can talk."

He Tingzhou didn't comment. As soon as the elevator door opened, he didn't even stay for half a second and walked straight out.

After get off work, Shuang Xu returned to Taiheyuan. She waited alone at home for a long time. When she heard a car in the yard, she stood up and walked towards the door.

The door opened from the outside and Wansui came in.

Wansui ran towards her, as if he hadn't been seen for a long time. Shuangxu raised his eyes from him and looked at Xu Zhen behind him.

Xu Zhen nodded to her politely.

"Where is He Tingzhou?" Shuang Xu asked.

Xu Zhen looked apologetic: "Mr. He has plans tonight."

Do you have any plans, or are you still in a bad mood and don't want to see her.

Shuang Xu squatted down and touched Wansui's shiny hair: "Got it."

He Tingzhou did not come back all night, and not only that day, but he also did not come home for the next three days.

This cold war lasted for several days. Shuang Xu stayed alone in Taiheyuan every day, with only her dog to keep her company.

Shuang Xu went to Yundun twice more, but he didn't even see him again. Either he happened to be "out" or he was in a meeting.

She wanted to have a good talk with him, but he never gave her the chance.

When she got off work that day, Shen Yu was waiting for her downstairs at Feixue Building: "Let's go home."

"Brother, I'm not going back today. I want to go to Taiheyuan."

Shen Yu looked at her deeply and asked, "Have you seen Tingzhou in the past few days?"

The temperature in Yancheng dropped day by day, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Shuang Xu put his hands in his coat pockets and remained silent.

Shen Yu said: "Don't always give in to him. I don't want to see you put yourself in a difficult position."
