◇ Chapter 43 What’s wrong with your husband?

At first, no one thought much of it, thinking that Jiang Mingyi had drunk too much and was confused. About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Zheng still hadn't returned, and Lu Fangchi couldn't sit still any longer: "I'll go see him."

The corners of Jiang Mingyi's eyes were red, and he nodded and waved his hands with a drunken look, "Go, go." As he waved his hands, his body tilted forward. Yu Yao was quick to catch his arm to prevent him from falling flat on his face.

"You go, I'll watch him." Yu Yao stretched out his hand to straighten Jiang Mingyi, constantly correcting his crooked sitting posture.

"You're so unruly." Yu Yao frowned and cursed in a low voice. Unruly himself fell forward and fell into his arms. Yu Yao raised his hands slightly for two seconds, and then in this posture, he awkwardly used his arms to support Jiang Mingyi to the booth.

Jiang Mingyi, who was drunk and dishonest, stretched out his hand to grab Yu Yao's waist as he was ready to stand up, and staggered and almost fell.

Lu Fangchi nodded, stood up and walked towards the restroom.

Someone was washing his hands in front of the sink. As he walked in, he came face to face with an alpha with a flushed face who blew a breath of alcohol at him frivolously. Lu Fangchi frowned slightly, stepped aside, walked into the restroom, and pushed open the doors of the cubicles one by one.

The first four rooms were empty, there were bursts of vomiting sounds coming from the fifth room, and there was no movement in the sixth room.

Lu Fang Chixu leaned against the wall and waited. Half a minute later, the door of the fifth toilet opened, and a beta with tears in his eyes walked out with unsteady steps.

After waiting for another seven or eight minutes, there was still no movement in the sixth room. Lu Fangchi raised his hand and knocked on the door, and asked softly, "Zhou Zheng, are you in there?"

A strange voice came from inside the door, "You've got the wrong place."

Lu Fangchi took his hand back, "Sorry."

Then not here, Lu Fangchi left the toilet, walked around the KTV, and looked around the billiard hall, but there was no trace of Zhou Zheng.

Something happened? Lu Fangchi thought that Zhou Zheng was too old to do that, but now that he couldn't see anyone, he couldn't help but think too much.

Lu Fangchi frowned and walked to the front desk to ask, "The alpha who came with me just now, about 1.9 meters tall, with a slicked-back hair, wearing a sweatshirt and sports pants, do you still remember him?"

Lu Fangchi and his group were outstanding in appearance and temperament, so they naturally had a deep memory. The receptionist nodded and replied, "I remember."

"Have you seen him recently? He went to the restroom and never came back. I wonder if he drank too much and fell down." Lu Fangchi explained.

"He's gone." The receptionist raised her hand and pointed to the door.

Lu Fangchi raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, "Huh?"

"About twenty minutes ago? I can't remember the exact time. He walked alone with a steady pace, and he didn't look drunk." The receptionist explained, swallowing the second half of his evaluation of the alpha. At that time, his eyes were so fierce that they seemed to want to eat people. Just looking at them made my heart skip a beat.

Lu Fangchi frowned and replied, "I see. Thank you."

He turned around and walked back to the private room, reached out to take out his cell phone and made a WeChat video call to Zhou Zheng, but no one answered until the window popped up and the call was automatically disconnected.

After exiting WeChat and switching to the address book, Lu Fangchi dialed the mobile phone. After a while of waiting for the music, an electronic reminder sounded, "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please call back later..."

What's going on? Lu Fangchi straightened his lips and pushed open the door of the private room. Jiang Mingyi was craving for food and was playing boxing with Yu Yao. Whoever lost would drink. Hearing the door open, he drunkenly said to Lu Fangchi, "Three of you, play black and white."

Lu Fangchi ignored the drunkard and walked past the two of them straight inside. He bent down to pick up his windbreaker and put it on. He also picked up a neat jacket beside him and put it on his arm. "I'm leaving first. You guys have fun."

Jiang Mingyi's eyes and half of his face were dyed red. He was drunk and held Lu Fangchi tightly, not letting him leave. "It's been a long time since the three of us got together. It's only a few o'clock. You won't let me leave!"

Yu Yao's eyes were clear. Seeing that Lu Fangchi's expression was not right, he went out to look for him but did not bring him back. He quickly reached out and pulled back Jiang Mingyi's arm, nodding to Lu Fangchi, "You go ahead. I'm here. I'll take him back later."

Jiang Mingyi was not convinced. He stretched his neck and was about to yell, but Yu Yao covered his mouth with his hand, making a strange "Mmm" sound.

Then he suddenly stopped fighting, but Yu Yao's face changed, he threw his hand away and glared at him fiercely. Jiang Mingyi half raised his eyebrows, licked his lips with his tongue, and looked at Yu Yao with lewd eyes.

Lu Fangchi was concerned about Zhou Zheng and had no time to pay attention to their interaction. He reached out and patted Yu Yao on the shoulder, then opened the door and left.

He walked to the door of the KTV in one go. The breeze blew away the smell of cigarettes and alcohol on his body. While waiting for a ride, he called Zhou Zheng.

Without exception, all of them fell on deaf ears.

Did he go home early because he was not feeling well? Lu Fangchi thought to himself.

The driver arrived in a daze. Lu Fangchi stopped his wandering thoughts and decided to wait until he got home to confirm whether the person was there before saying anything else. He couldn't let his imagination run wild.

"Ding——" the elevator door opened.

Lu Fangchi walked out, strolled to the door, raised his hand to identify his fingerprint, and with the electronic greeting of "Welcome home", the door lock opened.

I pushed the door open, and it was pitch black. Zhou Zheng hadn't come back.

Lu Fangchi pressed his lips into a straight line, stretched his legs and walked into the hallway, raised his hand to turn on the light button, sat on the shoe-changing stool in a daze for two seconds, then took out his cell phone to send a message to Alpha.

Lu Fangchi: Where are you?

He couldn't figure out what happened to Zhou Zheng. He was drinking happily one second, and disappeared without a word the next. He didn't answer his phone or reply to messages. He just disappeared.

Lu Fangchi: If you have anything to say, just tell me in person. I’ll be waiting for you at home.

After posting this, Lu Fangchi bent down, put on his slippers, walked slowly to the sofa and sat down, leaned back and sighed.

After the paralysis, Lu Fangchi closed his eyes and fell asleep. It was too cold, and the phone on the coffee table suddenly rang, waking Lu Fangchi up on the sofa like a monk ringing a morning bell. He sat up and reached for his phone.

I opened my eyes with difficulty and blinked several times, only to find that it was just a news push.

Lu Fangchi's sleep quality is worrying. He usually turns his phone to do not disturb mode before going to bed. But tonight he deliberately did not turn it on in order to wait for Zhou Zheng's message.

I unlocked the screen and clicked into WeChat. The top position was empty and no one replied. It seemed that no one would reply.

Lu Fangchi stood up, walked to the bathroom with weak steps to take a hot shower, and when he got back to bed, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Zhou Zheng.

Tell me what you mean, so I can explain it, otherwise I don't know what's wrong with you. Delete.

It's childish to not reply to messages and play missing. How old are you? Delete.

I said I would listen, you little liar. Delete.

Lu Fangchi deleted and reduced the content, and finally only sent out two words: Good night.

Let’s wait until Zhou Zheng’s anger subsides before we talk.

The weather in the beginning of spring is unpredictable, with sudden changes in temperature, and a large temperature difference between day and night. I don't know if it was because I drank too much last night and dozed off on the sofa, but Lu Fangchi woke up this morning with a splitting headache, his temples were swollen and about to burst, his nose was blocked and he couldn't breathe, and it felt difficult to breathe.

A sour taste came from the tip of his nose. Lu Fangchi opened his mouth slightly and sneezed, and two tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.

Lu Fangchi raised his hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of his eyes. He reached for the cell phone on the bedside table and prepared to ask for leave, but stopped when he glanced at the date on the screen.

Well, there is an important meeting today and I must get to the company.

Lu Fangchi resigned himself to his fate and climbed out of bed. He went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash up, then ate two bites of bread, broke off two pills and threw them into his mouth, swallowing them down his throat with mineral water.

The virus came with great force, and the two pills had no effect. Instead, the situation became more serious. Lu Fangchi felt dizzy and couldn't concentrate during the meeting. The employees opened and closed their mouths to report data, but it went in one ear and out the other, and he couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

There was really no other way, so Lu Fangchi raised his hand to stop the meeting, "Let's end here today, adjourn the meeting."

Lu Fangchi's face was showing signs of illness. Anyone who paid close attention could see his rosy cheeks, his pair of peach blossom eyes filled with crystal clear water, his pursed lips and furrowed brows all showing a sense of brokenness. The illness made the usually cold and unattainable boss appear a little more approachable and vulnerable.

Lu Fangchi walked out of the conference room with a dangling step and instructed the assistant behind him: "Summarize the key points of the meeting and send them to me. Do you have a client to interview this afternoon?"

"Okay," the assistant nodded in response, and looked up to see Lu Fangchi in front of him walking off the track and almost bumping into the corner of the employee's table next to him. He raised his hands, and the young man straightened himself. He whispered, "A client wants to meet with me this afternoon, but the time can be changed. Mr. Lu, are you okay?" He walked off the track again.

"No problem." Lu Fangchi finally walked to the office, opened the door, and sat on the swivel chair with a sense of relief, pinching his brows, "Then let's change the time."

"Okay." The assistant agreed and quietly left the office.

Everyone saw Lu Fangchi's state during the meeting. The news spread throughout the office in a moment, and no one disturbed him for the next two hours.

Lu Fangchi took a nap in the lounge and was woken up by the buzzing sound of his cell phone. He seemed to feel a little better, but only a little.

He rubbed his dizzy temple, opened his phone and typed "1" in the group of three people.

Jiang Mingyi: Zhou Zheng is a villain!

Villain!

Villain!

Villain!

...The screen-scrolling finally ended.

Seeing Lu Fangchi bubbling, Jiang Mingyi began to complain, and white boxes popped up on the screen one after another: What's wrong with your husband? He threw me at the door last night and I was almost killed.

[Picture] A photo of legs, so full that it can’t fit on the screen, straight and white, except for a dark patch, which is shocking against the fair skin.

Jiang Mingyi: Pay the money!

Lu Fangchi was in no mood to talk nonsense, so he opened the red envelope listlessly, entered 0.01, and sent it.

After sending out the red envelope, I saw that Yu Yao had transferred 10,000 yuan to Jiang Mingyi before me.

Oh? Then he probably won't accept it.

As Lu Fangchi was thinking this, he saw Jiang Mingyi click on the red envelope and then receive the transfer.

Jiang Mingyi: @Lu Fangchi was insulted by your one cent. Let Zhou Zheng compensate me. [Smile]

Lu Fangchi was so annoyed by Jiang Mingyi's nonsense that he started to joke: We can find him anyway.

Jiang Mingyi: [Photo]

Click to enlarge, Zhou Zheng is sitting in the restaurant, opposite him is Liu Zhu.

Lu Fangchi:?

Jiang Mingyi: Stop pretending, go and ask for 1 million yuan as compensation.

Lu Fangchi recognized this restaurant as the one he and Zhou Zheng had eaten at last time. It was located in the shopping mall next door and could be reached in five minutes.

Lu Fangchi: Wait.

Lu Fangchi got out of bed, changed his clothes, washed his face with hot water, and looked much more energetic before going out to catch someone.

I entered the mall and took the escalator to the third floor. I stopped outside the restaurant and looked around to confirm that Zhou was inside and where he was sitting before entering the restaurant.

"How many people are you, sir?" the receptionist came over.

"I'm looking for someone." Lu Fangchi said, and he saw the back of Zhou Zheng's head.

"Which table is it? I'll take you there." The waiter nodded and asked.

Lu Fangchi pointed at Zhou Zheng's table.

As they got closer, and thinking that Liu Zhu was still there, Lu Fangchi prepared to use a milder opening statement. For example, Jiang Mingyi's claim for compensation was a good entry point.

Walking to the table and standing still, Lu Fangchi raised his eyes and met Zhou Zheng's gaze, and the words on his lips were stuck.

It was a strange look, no, it was the same disdainful look as before, as if he was looking at trash.

【Author’s words】

Jiang Mingyi: Thank you Jiang Mingyu for your infatuation in providing the picture clues. I will give you 0.001w yuan after I claim the compensation.

There have been updates recently, but the time is irregular, so it may be quite slow, so remember to come and have a look.
