Chapter 656 Unable to Contact Qi Yue
"Xiao Ning?"
Shen Anning paused, turned around, and saw her mother walking towards her wearing a coat.
"Mom, did I disturb you?"
"No, I just got up to get a drink of water and heard some noise outside, so I came out to check." Shen Qingshu walked to her daughter's side, glanced at the suitcase and backpack in her hands, and then looked at her, "Going back to Beicheng?"
Shen Anning nodded somewhat guiltily.
"Go back. I've noticed you're always on your phone these past few days."
Shen Anning was somewhat surprised. She had expected her mother not to stop her, but she hadn't expected her mother not to ask any further questions.
"Mom, won't you even ask me why I'm in such a hurry?"
Hearing this, Shen Qingshu smiled gently and reached out to pat her head. "Our Xiaoning has grown up and is in a relationship. It's normal for her to want to spend more time with her boyfriend."
Upon hearing this, Shen Anning was so moved that she immediately reached out and hugged her mother, saying, "Mom, thank you!"
“You and Qi Yue have had feelings for each other since you were little. Now that you're adults and together, your parents are at ease.” Shen Qingshu gently stroked her daughter's back, her voice soft and her tone tender. “But you're still young. It's okay to date, but you have to protect yourself, understand?”
Shen Anning nodded, "Mom, don't worry, I understand all of this."
"I'll have the driver take you to the airport."
"No need, I've already booked a ride-hailing service."
"It's not safe for girls to take ride-hailing services at this time." Shen Qingshu's attitude was firm this time.
Shen Anning didn't want her mother to worry, so she agreed.
...
Shen Qingshu stood at the door watching the car gradually disappear into the distance.
Behind her, Fu Siyan reached out and hugged her, saying, "Just keep spoiling her."
Shen Qingshu glanced back at her husband and saw the reluctance and resentment in his eyes. She smiled helplessly and said, "Our daughter has grown up. She will fall in love eventually. Qi Yue is a child we have watched grow up. Our two families are on good terms and know each other well. I think it's a good thing."
“We think they’re useless.” Fu Siyan sighed softly. “The young people still lack experience. In my opinion, the two of them might not be suitable.”
Shen Qingshu frowned, turned to look at Fu Siyan, and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Does it look like a joke to me?"
"I need to find out whether you said those words out of anger because you didn't want your daughter to get married, or if you were seriously analyzing the situation?"
"I'm not like Nian'an, who's obsessed with his sister."
Shen Anning: "..."
It's truly a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Shen Anning gave him a reproachful look. "It's cold outside, let's go back inside."
"Okay." Fu Siyan put his arm around his wife and turned to go into the house.
...
At 7:58, the flight from Xingcheng to Beicheng landed smoothly at the airport.
Fu Nian'an had already arrived at the airport to wait.
After getting into the car, Shen Anning pulled over and fastened her seatbelt, then turned to Fu Nian'an and said, "Brother, why don't you try calling Qi Yue?"
"What's wrong?" Fu Nian'an paused in fastening her seatbelt, lifting her eyelids to look at her. "Did you two have another fight?"
Shen Anning: "..."
Seeing her reaction, Fu Nian'an no longer needed her to answer.
He sighed and took out his phone. "So you came back suddenly because you two had a fight and Qi Yue wasn't answering your calls?"
"It wasn't an argument, it was just that at the airport that day he told me to come back in three days, and I said no, we had different opinions..."
"He's ignoring you because of this?" Fu Nian'an laughed angrily. "He's giving you the silent treatment for this reason, and you're so pathetic that you actually came back early? Shen Anning, did you lose your brain after the college entrance exam?"
Fu Nian'an couldn't resist and poked her forehead with his hand.
Shen Anning covered the spot where she had been poked and muttered, "I'm just worried about Qi Yue's health. He's not fully recovered yet..."
"Stop making excuses for your love-struck mind!" Fu Nian'an couldn't stand it anymore, so she started the car and floored the gas pedal, driving fast and aggressively.
Shen Anning was so frightened by the damned recoil that she couldn't help but gasp.
"Fu Nian'an, this is dangerous driving! I'm going to report you!"
Fu Nian'an dismissed it, "Don't worry, your brother's FI professional racing license isn't fake."
"A professional racing license?" Shen Anning instantly grasped the key information. "When did you get it?"
"The summer vacation before last."
"You're finished!" Shen Anning narrowed her eyes, raising her eyebrows. "Last summer you weren't even 18 yet, and you actually dared to go racing behind your parents' backs!!"
Fu Nian'an: "..."
That was too hasty.
Fu Nian'an slowed down the car and glanced at Shen Anning. "Speak, what do you want?"
"I don't want anything right now." Shen Anning shook her head, extremely smug. "You can't bribe me."
"Oh, do you still need me to call Qi Yue for you?"
Shen Anning: "..."
Fu Nian'an smiled and said, "Shen Anning, you've really become stupid."
Shen Anning was furious and embarrassed. "You're the one who's become stupid! I just forgot because you distracted me... Hey, hurry up and call Qi Yue!"
Fu Nian'an had no choice but to take out her phone and hand it to her, saying, "Call it yourself."
Shen Anning took the phone and asked, "What's the password?"
"Six ones".
Shen Anning: "..."
It's a password that's both surprising and inexplicably reasonable.
Shen Anning entered the password to unlock the screen, then went into her contacts, found Qi Yue's number, and dialed it.
The call connected, and she instantly tensed up, holding her breath.
The vehicle headed towards the city center, and inside, it was quiet.
Qi Yue still did not answer the phone.
This is very strange. Even if Qi Yue is angry, he wouldn't drag Fu Nian'an into it.
Shen Anning felt that something must have happened to Qi Yue!
She dialed several more times, but no one answered.
Seeing that something was indeed wrong, Fu Nian'an said, "Let's go directly to Rong Hao."
Shen Anning nodded, "Okay."
...
Half an hour later, Fu Nian'an and Shen Anning arrived at Ronghao Group.
But when the brother and sister went in to look for Qi Yue, they were told that Qi Yue hadn't come to the company for three days.
At this point, Shen Anning was completely unsettled.
"Brother, did Qi Yue go drinking again?" Shen Anning's eyes were red with worry. "His health has only just improved. If he drinks again, it could really cause a serious problem!"
“I know you’re worried, but calm down first. Qi Yue shouldn’t be so reckless.” Fu Nian’an thought for a moment and said, “I’ll ask Aunt An.”
"Yes, Aunt An is at the company. Qi Yue hasn't been to the company for three days, so she should know."
Fu Nian'an called Anmi.
Anmi said that Qi Yue went to Yuncheng to inspect a resort project. The location was relatively remote, in an undeveloped small mountain village, where cell phone signal might be poor.
Upon hearing this, Fu Nian'an felt something was amiss, but he didn't say anything in front of Shen Anning.
Shen Anning was relieved to learn that Qi Yue had gone on a business trip out of town and was safe.
Fu Nian'an took her home first.
After returning home, Shen Anning locked herself in the gym.
After a full hour, drenched in sweat and feeling exhausted, Shen Anning returned to her room, rested, took a bath, and relaxed completely before snuggling into bed.
With all the curtains closed, the room was dimly lit, and drowsiness crept in.
After three consecutive days of insomnia, I finally slept soundly until dark.
She woke up at seven o'clock and checked her phone, seeing two missed calls.
It was Qi Yue calling!
