Just as Su Wan finished speaking, worried that Shen Baiyan would press for details, Shen Baiyan's phone suddenly rang.
Shen Baiyan picked up his phone and answered immediately after seeing the caller ID.
A bodyguard's anxious voice came from the other end: "Mr. Shen, Miss Qiao has gone missing."
Upon hearing this news, Shen Baiyan's face darkened: "What happened!"
The bodyguard explained, "We waited for her at the school gate as usual today, but she didn't come out until dark. Miss Qiao left her phone in the classroom."
Shen Baiyan said sternly, "Send someone to look for it! I'm coming right now!"
Shen Baiyan hung up the phone and hurriedly got up.
Su Wan was curious when she saw his anxious expression: "Is something wrong?"
“I’m going abroad. I’ll have Xu Han arrange everything for you.”
Shen Baiyan quickly dressed and left in a hurry.
Su Wan felt inexplicably disappointed.
She picked up her phone and called Gu Chu.
The phone number is showing as busy.
——
Gu Chu received a call from Jiang Jinyu.
“The person is fine,” Jiang Jinyu said.
Gu Chu breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, thank you!"
Jiang Jinyu smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's mutually beneficial."
After hanging up, Gu Chu saw Su Wan's missed call and dialed back.
"Wanwan, did you call me?"
"At first, our shop will be closed for two days before reopening."
Gu Chu asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Su Wan didn't dare tell Gu Chu about it, afraid that she would worry: "I'm going to learn self-defense."
Gu Chu replied without hesitation, "I'll go with you!"
"Okay, I'll get up now, see you in a bit!"
"Okay, goodbye!"
An hour later, the two met at the entrance of 'The Tale of the Spirit'.
Su Wan waved to Gu Chu from inside the luxury car.
Gu Chu ran over.
As soon as they got in the car, Gu Chu asked, "Wanwan, what's going on? Why are you suddenly not opening the door and want to go learn self-defense?"
Su Wan replied evasively, "I thought we probably wouldn't have any business these next couple of days, and besides, there's our contact number at the shop entrance if anything really happens."
Gu Chu realized she wasn't telling the truth and said seriously, "I want to hear the truth."
Su Wan changed the subject: "Shen Baiyan has gone abroad."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chuyi's expression suddenly turned serious: "He went to see Qiao Xingyu."
Su Wan frowned: "Who is Qiao Xingyu?"
"Wanwan, I told you before not to fall in love with Shen Baiyan. He has a woman he likes."
Hearing this, Su Wan felt a little down, but the feeling quickly disappeared.
"Is it that Qiao Xingyu?"
Gu Chu nodded: "Yes, that's his white moonlight."
“I know I’m not in love with him, and I would never be a mistress. It was just a transaction between us,” Su Wan explained.
Thinking of Su Wan's lifespan, Gu Chu asked, "By the way, how's your life progress lately?"
Su Wan was also a little confused when she mentioned her life progress bar. It hadn't moved since it leveled up last time. During this time, she and Shen Baiyan had been so close, but she hadn't been affected by his luck anymore.
"It's strange that it hasn't risen any further," Su Wan said dejectedly.
Gu Chu pondered, "Could it be that your life progress reversal has nothing to do with Shen Baiyan?"
Hearing this, Su Wan hesitated: "I'm not sure, we need to see how things go."
Gu Chu urged again, "Wanwan, leave him!"
"Chu Chu, what are you worried about?"
"Feelings can develop over time. You two are together every day, and it's inevitable that you'll lose control of your feelings over time. Once you fall in love with him, you'll be in a lot of pain," Gu Chu earnestly advised.
Su Wan thought about how she had just promised Shen Baiyan one million a month, and she wanted to get that one million first.
"Okay, give me another month. If my life progress hasn't improved by then, I promise I'll leave him!" Su Wan raised her hand and swore.
Gu Chu affectionately pinched her cheek and smiled, "Then I'll trust you this once."
