Chapter 608: Changes
"She hasn't come back yet?" Yu Wanqing was also stunned. She looked at the time on her watch and said hesitantly, "Several hours have passed..."
"Wanqing, Anqi, you two go look for her!" Old Nie said in a deep voice.
"I'm not going. She wants to visit the garden by herself. What does it have to do with me?" Lin Anqi shook her head and rejected Mr. Nie's proposal without hesitation.
At this time, Yu Wanqing whispered to Father Nie and Old Man Nie, "Uncle, Grandpa Nie, I think we should ask Butler Owen to send someone to look for him. Li Garden is so big, and we're not very familiar with the roads here..."
Elder Nie nodded, his brow furrowing even tighter. "Then hurry up, the weather is about to change!"
As soon as Mr. Nie finished speaking, there was a rumbling sound of thunder in the sky.
In Li Jinxing's living room, Nie Yao was tired from being tormented by him and was falling into a deep sleep. Suddenly, a loud thunder woke her up.
"Is it thundering?" She rubbed her eyes and asked in surprise.
Li Jin walked over to the bed and sat down, stroked her hair, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's just a change in the weather..."
Thunder roared repeatedly, and the sky outside grew increasingly gloomy. Nie Yao rubbed his temples and asked in a low voice, "How long have I slept? What time is it now?"
"It's still early, not even five o'clock..." Li Jinxing kissed her forehead and said with a smile: "The weather has changed, so it suddenly got dark!"
"It's all your fault. You had to do that kind of thing in broad daylight!" Nie Yao glared at him, threw back the quilt, got up from the bed, her legs still a little weak.
Li Jinxing quickly supported her steadily and chuckled softly, "Would you like to rest for a while?"
"We're going to prepare for the dinner soon, why are you still resting?" Nie Yao twisted his arm and snorted softly, "Do you really want to let all the guests know that I, the heroine, am too tired to get up today?"
Li Jinxing couldn't help laughing, and jokingly said, "It's not impossible. The guests have seen it anyway..."
"What did you say?" Nie Yao glanced at him sideways, raised her eyebrows and asked back, with a hint of danger in her voice.
"Nothing..." Li Jinxing shook his head, smiled and helped her sit down in front of the dressing table.
"Yaoyao, you have to understand me. I have been patient for several days. Besides, after the engagement, we don't have a honeymoon time. We have to go directly to Egypt..." Li Jinxing lowered his head, placed a gentle kiss on her ear, and explained with a low smile.
Seeing his pretending to be pitiful, Nie Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing. She pushed him away and said, "Okay, don't stand here. I need to wash up and change my clothes. You should go change your clothes too!"
Li Jinxing smiled and nodded, then went straight to the cloakroom to change into a suit for the dinner.
Nie Yao also finished washing up as quickly as possible, changed into a light pink evening dress that matched Li Jinxing's suit, and put on the same earrings and necklace.
Li Jinxing once again called in the makeup and hair styling team who were on standby in the manor to prepare Nie Yao's makeup and hair for the dinner.
Just as Nie Yao was getting ready for her hair and makeup, Yu Wanqing hurried in, frowning, "Ayao, something bad has happened..."
"What's wrong?" Nie Yao looked at her cousin's worried expression through the dressing mirror and asked with concern.
"Jinxi hasn't come back yet. Look, it's thundering so loudly. I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily soon. It's almost time for the dinner. Grandpa and uncle are looking for her too. I'm worried that something happened to her!"
