Why don't you reply to my messages? Why don't you answer my calls?
She was terrified when she couldn't reach him for a day.
"Don't you know I'm scared?"
Looking at Su Ning, whose face was covered in tears, Gu Jingchen replied with a mix of heartache and amusement, "I've been too busy during the day to reply to your messages."
He was really busy, so busy that he only managed to grab a few bites of food on the plane and was still a little hungry.
"I also wanted to give you a surprise."
"This isn't a surprise, it's a shock!"
Su Ning replied in an annoyed tone, then turned around and went back into the house.
Gu Jingchen hurriedly followed, his surprise startling Su Ning.
"Ningning".
He called out, but Su Ning, who had her back to him, ignored him.
"I'll hurry up and finish what I need to do so I can come see you as soon as possible."
"After getting off the plane, I was so focused on seeing you that I forgot to turn my phone on."
As he spoke, Gu Jingchen took out his phone and showed it to Su Ning.
Sure enough, the phone was offline.
"You didn't reply to my messages or answer my calls, and I started to overthink things." Su Ning sobbed softly, but her emotions calmed down after seeing Gu Jingchen.
"Ningning, I'm sorry!"
Upon hearing his apology, Su Ning turned around and threw herself into his arms again.
"Jingchen, I don't want your apologies, I just want you to be safe and sound."
"Um!"
Gu Jingchen smiled and looked down at Su Ning, who was crying like a wildcat under the light. He tugged at the corners of his mouth and laughed, "Look at you, you've cried so much."
"Don't cry, I'll reply to your message."
With that, Gu Jingchen turned on his phone and sent a message to Su Ning.
Su Ning's phone, which she had tossed on the bed, rang. She picked it up, opened the message, and saw that it was from Gu Jingchen. Her lips curled into a satisfied smile.
"Honey, I miss you too!"
The next morning, Xu Sheng and Su Xincheng rushed over.
After receiving Su Ning's tearful phone call, they couldn't sleep well for the rest of the night. Even after Su Ning called back and said everything was alright, they were still worried.
Su Xincheng raised Su Ning single-handedly, and she knew her daughter's personality better than anyone else.
She has a very stubborn temper. She never shed a tear when Qiao Zhentian and his daughter wronged her.
In the dead of night, she cried so bitterly because Gu Jingchen's phone was off. How could anyone not worry?
Xu Sheng too.
Contrary to what they expected, when they arrived at Su Ning's room, she was lying on a recliner reading a book, while Gu Jingchen was working on his computer next to her.
The atmosphere was very harmonious, and there was no trace of the discomfort from last night.
"Dad, Mom."
Upon seeing Xu Sheng and Su Xincheng appear at the door, Su Ning called out in surprise.
She tried to get up, but Su Xincheng, who had come over, grabbed her hand and said, "Lie down."
"Why are you here?"
Su Ning asked in confusion.
Last night, Xu Sheng picked up Su Xincheng and took her to the Xu residence to rest.
Su Xincheng likes to sleep in late for health, and since she is also pregnant, she has been very sleepy lately.
“You cried so hard last night, your dad and I were worried.”
Su Xincheng sat down next to Su Ning and said with concern.
This made Su Ning feel embarrassed. She had only cried because she was in a panic last night.
"I already explained it over the phone; Jingchen's phone was switched off on the plane."
"I'm fine now."
Su Ning emphasized.
She was all smiles, and seemed to be fine.
Su Xincheng and Xu Sheng were still worried. Xu Sheng said to Gu Jingchen, who stood up and greeted her, "Come out for a moment."
