Xu Tingchuan didn't sleep well all night, and woke up early the next day to drive to Ni Sitian's school.
Only after learning that she hadn't returned to her school dormitory during this period did he drive to work.
I called Ni Sitian several more times, but she didn't answer.
He was worried that something might have happened to her, so he called all the major hospitals, but thankfully there was no news of her.
But where did she go?
She had mentioned before that she was going to intern at a publishing house, but he didn't know exactly where.
He had only been away on a business trip when his wife vanished without a trace.
Xu Tingchuan entered the office with a frosty expression, and then had Secretary Xue follow him in.
"Check all the publishing houses and magazines in this city. I need to find someone," he instructed Secretary Xue, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Who are you looking for?" Secretary Xue asked cautiously, noticing her boss's unpleasant expression.
"Ni Sitian." Xu Tingchuan took a light breath and uttered these three words.
Secretary Xue was taken aback. Wasn't that the young wife's name? Had the boss lost his wife?
"Get out." Xu Tingchuan felt as if he had made a huge mistake under the gaze of his secretary.
Secretary Xue bowed and left the office, returning to her desk to begin the work Xu Tingchuan had assigned her.
Lin Yi'an and Xue Zhichun's desks were next to each other. Seeing that she had printed out a bunch of publishing house phone numbers, Lin Yi'an curiously leaned over and asked, "Why did President Xu ask you to get so many publishing house numbers?"
Xue Zhichun didn't particularly like Lin Yi'an, and politely replied indifferently, "The boss is looking for someone."
Lin Yi'an turned back to her work, listening intently to Xue Zhichun's phone call. When she heard Ni Sitian's name, she was surprised. Had she been mistaken? Wasn't this girl his girlfriend? How could he not know her whereabouts?
At this time, Ni Sitian, who was working, had no idea that Xu Tingchuan had returned. It wasn't until she was about to leave work that she realized her phone had been in airplane mode the whole time.
As she walked out of the office building, she switched to normal mode, only to be shocked to find eighteen missed calls from Xu Tingchuan.
Just as I was about to call back, I heard a long horn call.
She turned her head and saw Qin Mubei's Mercedes-Benz parked not far away.
She frowned slightly, pretended not to hear, and turned to leave.
Qin Mubei opened the car door and got out, walking to Ni Sitian's side and saying, "Why didn't I see you this morning? Did you go to work early to avoid me?"
"If you know you're annoying, then stay away from me," Ni Sitian said calmly, walking to the side of the road to hail a taxi.
"Let me take you home. It's rush hour, and it's not easy to get a bus or a taxi." Qin Mubei reached out and grabbed Ni Sitian's outstretched hand.
Ni Sitian quickly dodged the attack and said impatiently to Qin Mubei, "What's wrong with you?"
Years ago, she was always the one pestering him and trying to bump into him, but now it seems the roles have been reversed. However, she doesn't think Qin Mubei really has such deep feelings for her, otherwise why would he have slept with Ni Ziqi in the first place?
She felt that his behavior stemmed from resentment after losing her, resentment that she was no longer blindly infatuated with him.
"I just want to be nicer to you, like you used to be to me." Qin Mubei looked at her sincerely and said earnestly, "Sisi, I want to pursue you again."
Ni Sitian was speechless and was about to reply when her gaze passed over his shoulder and her expression froze.
Xu Tingchuan approached them with elegant and composed steps, his expression slightly cold. He said from behind Qin Mubei, "Mr. Qin, it seems rather immoral to pursue someone else's wife."
