The wholesale market was bustling with people coming and going.
It took Yun Suiwan a bit of effort to find Sheng Nanyin in the crowd.
Sheng Nanyin also saw her, but did not approach her. Instead, she sent her a message, inviting her to a nearby fast food restaurant.
It took them half an hour to finally meet in a corner of the fast food restaurant.
"What happened?" Yun Suiwan had already sensed the unusual atmosphere.
“I’m worried that Huo Beichen will send someone to follow me.” Sheng Nanyin said solemnly, “There are many people here, so it will be difficult to track me down.”
Her arrangement made sense, but Yun Suiwan's mood became even more serious, and she wanted to know exactly what had happened.
"Miss Yun, do you have any news about Zeze?" Sheng Nanyin asked in a low voice.
Yun Suiwan frowned and shook his head. Da Wen and Xiao Wu had been searching, but the deeper they searched, the stranger things seemed.
“I suspect that Zeze has already returned to Huo Beichen’s side,” Sheng Nanyin suddenly said.
Yun Suiwan was slightly taken aback, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
Sheng Nanyin's statement is astonishing.
But it also acted like an axe, splitting through the fog surrounding Zeze's situation.
Sheng Nanyin continued, "Ever since I learned that Zeze was missing, I have been searching everywhere, but I have also discovered many suspicious points."
"I think Zeze is right next to Huo Beichen..."
Yun Suiwan stared into Sheng Nanyin's eyes: "Has he always been here, or has he already returned to Huo Beichen's side?"
"This... I don't know." Sheng Nanyin's gaze was somewhat evasive.
Yun Suiwan felt reassured. "I'll go find Huo Beichen now."
"No!" Sheng Nanyin immediately stopped her, her eyes filled with panic.
"Why?" Yun Suiwan asked.
"Huo Beichen did this for a reason. If you ask him, he will not only deny it, but he will also hide Zeze even more deeply."
"It will be much harder for us to find Zeze then!"
Her eager expression aroused Yun Suiwan's suspicion. "Sheng Nanyin, why are you so concerned about Zeze's matter?"
“I… actually, I’m concerned about Huo Beichen,” Sheng Nanyin changed the subject, “He’s engaged to you, and I don’t want Zeze to cause any rift between you two.”
Sheng Nanyin's words clearly failed to convince Yun Suiwan.
But Yun Suiwan didn't ask further; that wasn't the focus right now.
She stood up to leave.
“Miss Yun…” Sheng Nanyin looked at her eagerly and expectantly.
“I will get to the bottom of this and ensure Zeze’s safety,” Yun Suiwan replied. “After all, he was the one who lost him while I was in charge.”
She also needs to give an explanation for this.
She invited Huo Beichen to dinner at a Western restaurant, hoping to gauge his opinion first.
"I'm flattered that you took the initiative to ask me out." Huo Beichen sat down and looked at Yun Suiwan's attire.
She unusually wore a simple yet sophisticated little dress, which accentuated her innate noble temperament.
Except for a few necessary formal occasions, Yun Suiwan does not pursue brand names.
Beauty and temperament are a kind of charm that no clothes can create.
Yun Suiwan looked apologetic: "Although our marriage can't happen, I still feel sorry for Zeze."
Huo Beichen glanced sadly out the window, "I've been sending people to search. Perhaps there's a certain fate between father and son..."
He actually put on quite a convincing act.
But this also made Yun Suiwan realize that he had hidden Zeze very well and was very confident.
Otherwise, Sheng Nanyin wouldn't have sought her help.
“Actually, you don’t need to have too much of a psychological burden,” Huo Beichen said. “Although Zeze was lost under your care, I think those people were after me.”
These words were a deliberate reminder to Yun Suiwan.
Yun Suiwan pretended not to understand and said, "I'm treating you to dinner today, firstly to apologize for what happened to Zeze, and secondly, if you have any clues about Zeze, I hope you can tell me. If we work together, we should be able to find Zeze faster."
Huo Beichen was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, Zeze's status as a mother is not enough. If possible, I hope we can have a child together."
"I believe this child will definitely make the Yun and Huo families' businesses even bigger."
Yun Suiwan wanted to call him a scumbag! A despicable man!
He not only exploits women, but also turns their future children into tools!
But then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
Lu Dongjue.
He was with Lin Zhibai, Shen Xinghui, and a few others, walking towards the restaurant.
He saw her immediately too.
Their eyes met, and after a few seconds, Yun Suiwan turned her gaze away quite naturally.
Pretend you didn't see him.
Lu Dongjue felt his blood surging in his chest, a surge of anger rushing to his head, and he wished he could rush forward and pull Yun Suiwan into his arms.
"Dongjue!" Lin Zhibai noticed something was wrong with him and immediately whispered, "Don't be impulsive."
Lin Zhibai and Shen Xinghui both clearly saw Yun Suiwan's attitude of turning a blind eye.
Lu Dongjue ignored him and quickly stepped forward to stand in front of Yun Suiwan.
"What a coincidence." A smug, cold smile crept across his lips.
"Young Master Lu, the city is so big, how can we run into each other at the same mealtime and the same restaurant?" Huo Beichen sneered in return.
"Shut up, it's none of your business," Lu Dongjue retorted without any politeness.
Lu Dongjue's gaze remained fixed on Yun Suiwan's face, as if he wanted to burn a hole through it.
Yun Suiwan slightly curved the corners of her mouth. "Young Master Lu, what a coincidence."
She called him "Young Master Lu".
Are they really that unfamiliar?!
The pent-up frustration in Lu Dongjue's chest began to rise again.
But her cold profile reminded him that forcing himself on her would only push them further apart.
“Wanwan,” he tried to soften his tone, “come with me, let’s talk alone.”
“Oh,” Yun Suiwan said calmly, “there’s no need for that.”
“You can say what you have to say here. Huo Beichen is no outsider.”
Lu Dongjue clenched his fists tightly, enduring it again and again, "I don't want a third person to hear what I want to say to you."
“Then there’s even less need for that,” Yun Suiwan said. “I don’t think our relationship needs this kind of conversation.”
After she finished speaking, she stood up, and her radiant appearance was immediately displayed before him.
She rarely dresses like this.
She looks beautiful dressed like this.
But she wasn't dressed like this because of him today.
The fire in Lu Dongjue's heart burned fiercely.
“Huo Beichen,” Yun Suiwan said nonchalantly, picking up her bag. “Let’s go somewhere else. The city is so big, there must be a place where we can eat without worry.”
"Okay." Huo Beichen then stood up, came to her side, and offered her his arm.
Yun Suiwan hesitated slightly, but ultimately decided not to refuse.
She placed her hand in the crook of his arm, and the two walked out hand in hand.
Lu Dongjue's fiery gaze burned on the back of their heads, but so what? Just ignore it.
