Ni Sitian didn't know how many times she had been tormented, but she was so tired that she fell asleep leaning against him.
I don't know how long I was asleep, but I vaguely heard Xu Tingchuan talking on the phone, it seemed to be about some business.
She opened her eyes slightly and saw that it was already getting light outside. Xu Tingchuan was sitting in a wicker chair by the window, talking on the phone with his back to her.
"Let Vice President Fang handle this matter." Xu Tingchuan's voice was somewhat deep. "Let's do it this way. I need a few more days on my end."
Ni Sitian regained some composure and realized that the call was very urgent, and something serious might have happened.
Xu Tingchuan whispered a few more instructions before hanging up the phone and getting up to go back to bed.
Ni Sitian sat up, looked at Xu Tingchuan, and asked worriedly, "Has something happened at the company?"
"It's just a small problem, I've already handed it over to someone to handle." Xu Tingchuan patted her head. "It's only a little past five, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Ni Sitian's expression turned very serious, and she looked directly at Xu Tingchuan. "Do you remember what you promised? You said you wouldn't go back on your word. What happened?"
If it were truly a trivial matter, why would Assistant Yu call to bother the president during his vacation? She's not stupid; she can deduce that.
Seeing her looking at him so seriously, Xu Tingchuan smiled helplessly, "Alright, something rather serious has happened, but Vice President Fang can handle it."
Ni Sitian threw off the covers, got out of bed, went straight to the wardrobe, and started packing her things.
Xu Tingchuan went over and took her hand, "It's really not as serious as you think."
“Let’s go back,” Ni Sitian said earnestly as she continued packing her luggage. “Something’s happened at the company, how can I relax and have fun with you here? Let’s go back and deal with it first, and we can come back another time.”
As Ni Sitian spoke, she packed all her luggage, then dialed the airline to confirm today's flight and booked a ticket for the earliest flight.
This series of actions was swift and decisive, leaving Xu Tingchuan no room for objection.
She knew this was her and Xu Tingchuan's first trip together, which could be considered their honeymoon. He didn't want her to be disappointed, so he would definitely stick to his guns and accompany her. But how could she feel at ease?
"Sitian..." Xu Tingchuan hugged Ni Sitian, wanting to say something to her, but he didn't know how to say it. What came out of his mouth was, "I'm sorry."
They finally managed to get on a trip, but they had to rush back on the second day. They didn't get to enjoy themselves at all; they spent all their time flying.
"Silly boy, why are you apologizing? Of course, business is more important. Don't you still need to earn money to buy me a castle?" Ni Sitian smiled, took his hand away, and pushed him to wash up, saying, "Hurry up and wash up. My flight is at 7:10, and there's not much time left. We need to hurry."
Xu Tingchuan went into the bathroom and quickly washed and dressed.
Ni Sitian checked again to make sure no luggage was left behind, and then went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.
The two hailed a taxi, skipped breakfast, and went straight to the airport, barely making their flight.
Returning to Yihai City felt like stepping from springtime warmth back into the dead of winter.
Assistant Yu had already parked the car outside the airport. Xu Tingchuan and Ni Sitian got in the car, and while driving, he reported to Xu Tingchuan on some changes that had occurred in the past few hours.
Ni Sitian was shocked when she heard about the explosion and casualties; the situation was more serious than she had imagined.
