"Hey, Xiaoyan."
Xiao Chen pressed the answer button.
"Well, Brother Chen, where are you? Not in the company?"
Tong Yan's voice came from the receiver.
"Well, I'm not in the company yet. I have something to do outside."
Xiao Chen felt a little embarrassed because he had an appointment with Tong Yan tonight.
"Well, my mom just called and asked when we'll be back. She's almost ready to cook."
Tong Yan asked gently.
"ah?"
Xiao Chen was stunned, then scratched his head. Of course, he told Tong Yan that he wanted to go home with her.
"Well, Xiaoyan, I may not be able to go tonight, otherwise...you can eat with my mother-in-law."
"Can't come?"
Tong Yan was stunned.
"Well, it's a bit inconvenient for me here."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Okay, then... Brother Chen, are you going to work tomorrow? I have something to talk to you about."
Tong Yan thought for a while and said.
"Oh? Something important?"
Xiao Chen was stunned.
"Yeah, it's important."
Tong Yan said seriously.
When Xiao Chen heard this, he started to think, could it be that he had neglected this girl these days, what did she think? The thoughts of little girls were sometimes always hard to figure out!
"Xiao Yan, I have something to do here and can't leave. How about... you talk to my mother-in-law and we don't go back home for dinner tonight and you come to see me?"
"Is this okay?"
Tong Yan hesitated and asked.
"Will it bother you?"
“Haha, no, come over, I’ll send you the address.
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Yeah, I'll be there in a minute."
Tong Yan agreed.
"good."
After Xiao Chen hung up the phone, he sent an address.
Then he lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
"You need me for something? What's this little girl thinking?"
Xiao Chen muttered and threw his phone aside.
Since Tong Yan is coming, he will wait for her and go out to eat together.
Before Xiao Chen finished smoking his cigarette, his cell phone rang.
He took it and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment. Tong Yan’s mother?
"Hello, mother-in-law."
Xiao Chen answered the phone.
"Yeah, what a good son-in-law."
The voice of Tong's mother came from the receiver.
"Are you busy? I hope it doesn't bother you?"
"Haha, no, mother-in-law, what's wrong?"
Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"No, nothing. Xiaoyan said before that you would come to my house for dinner, but she just called me and said that you have something to do tonight and won't be back... I was thinking, my meal is almost ready, are you busy over there? If not, come back and eat."
Tong's mother said to Xiao Chen.
"Um, mother-in-law, I'm so sorry. I had something urgent to do here and couldn't leave... Otherwise, I would definitely go back to eat. I haven't eaten the food you cooked for a long time. I really missed it."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"So busy? Well, when you want to eat, just call ahead and your mother-in-law will make it for you."
"Haha, OK, mother-in-law, you are so nice to me."
"That's right. I'm your mother-in-law. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? Right?"
Tong's mother also laughed.
"Mother-in-law, what have you been doing recently? How is your health?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"I'm fine, but I'm old, and sometimes I can't use my waist and legs... But it's okay, it's the same for old people."
Tong's mother said.
"Oh? Then I'll come over and treat you in a few days when I'm done with my work."
"Really? Haha, sure."
After chatting for a few sentences, when she was about to hang up the phone, Tong's mother hesitated and said, "Well, my dear son-in-law, Xiaoyan didn't make you angry, did she?"
"Hmm? Xiaoyan? No, why do you say that?"
Xiao Chen was stunned.
"No, nothing. I thought she made you angry, so that's why you didn't come to eat."
"Um, mother-in-law, don't overthink it. Xiaoyan didn't make me angry, and we didn't quarrel. We have a good relationship."
"Yeah, as long as the relationship is good... Hehe, then I'm relieved! Okay, you go ahead and do your work, I won't bother you anymore."
"Okay...By the way, mother-in-law, did Xiaoyan tell you that she will come to my place later and won't be leaving?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and said.
"Yeah, you told me, you guys can have your fun and don't have to come back."
The child’s mother laughed.
"Haha, okay."
Xiao Chen smiled and hung up the phone.
Thinking of what Tong's mother had just said, he put down his phone and couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling.
However, he was still very satisfied with Tong's mother's recent performance.
After about half an hour, the baby face appeared.
"Mr. Xiao, there is a 'Miss Tong' who wants to see you. Would you like to let her in?"
A special housekeeper called and asked.
"Well, let her in."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll send Miss Tong over right away."
The butler said respectfully.
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded and hung up the phone.
Soon, the housekeeper brought Tong Yan over.
Tong Yan smiled when she saw Xiao Chen.
However, because she was in front of the housekeeper, she resisted the urge to hug Xiao Chen.
"Mr. Xiao, is there anything else I can do for you?"
The butler looked at Xiao Chen and asked respectfully.
"No... Oh, by the way, please reserve a table for me, we'll go eat later."
Xiao Chen thought of something and said.
"Okay, Mr. Xiao, would you like Western or Chinese food?"
"Western food."
"Okay, I'll reserve a seat for you now, you can come over later."
"Okay, thank you."
"Mr. Xiao, I won't bother you anymore. If you have anything, you can call me."
The butler nodded and left.
"Silly girl, come here, give me a hug."
Xiao Chen hugged Tong Yan and kissed her on the forehead.
In his heart, he always regarded Tong Yan as a child.
Being held in Xiao Chen's arms, Tong Yan showed a happy smile on her face.
After the two of them had been together for a while, Xiao Chen let Tong Yan go.
"Xiao Yan, my mother-in-law called me just now."
Xiao Chen thought of something and said to Tong Yan.
"My mom? Why would she call you? Didn't she say anything?"
Tong Yan was a little nervous, afraid that her mother would make Xiao Chen unhappy.
"Haha, no, she just asked me why I didn't go to dinner, and she thought we had a fight."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Oh, okay."
Tong Yan nodded.
"I told her that we didn't have a fight and that we were on good terms. I couldn't go because I had something else to do."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"We have a good relationship, right?"
"Uh-huh."
Tong Yan nodded.
"Brother Chen, don't you have something to do? Why are you at the resort?"
"Oh, I just have something to do here. I just met a friend and can't leave."
Xiao Chen didn't tell Tong Yan the truth so as not to make her worry.
"Oh, so that person just now was..."
Tong Yan thought of something and asked.
"Him? He is my temporary butler. You can tell him anything you need."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he added another sentence.
"Well, he's not my temporary butler, he's the villa's own butler, who serves the people who live in this villa."
"All right."
Tong Yan looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's so luxurious. No wonder everyone wants to be rich."
"Haha, haven't you heard a saying? Are rich people happy? No, the happiness of rich people is beyond your imagination."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Uh-huh."
Tong Yan nodded.
"Let's go, let's go eat, I'm a little hungry."
Xiao Chen put his arm around Tong Yan's waist and walked out.
Afterwards, the two came to the western restaurant.
"Come on, order whatever you want to eat."
Xiao Chen handed the menu to Tong Yan and said.
"Uh-huh."
Tong Yan nodded and ordered two dishes at random.
"That's enough?"
Xiao Chen ordered a few more dishes and asked for a bottle of red wine.
Soon, the food was served.
"By the way, didn't you say you had something to talk to me about? What is it?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and asked.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Tong Yan's face changed: "Yes, Brother Chen, have you talked to Xiao Yi recently?"
"Xiao Yi? She called me a while ago and said she would be back in a while and asked me not to worry about her."
Xiao Chen was stunned, wondering why Tong Yan suddenly mentioned Jie Yiling.
"What's wrong with her? Is there something wrong?"
"Yeah, she...she was put under house arrest by her family and forced to go on a blind date."
Tong Yan was a little worried.
"Before, I talked to her and she told me about it. I said I would tell you, but she said I didn't need to tell you and she could figure it out herself... But in the past two days, she has lost contact! I called her and her phone was turned off. She didn't reply to my text messages or WeChat messages!"
"Um?"
Xiao Chen frowned. He was placed under house arrest by his family, forced to go on a blind date, and then lost contact?
"Brother Chen, do you think she's in trouble? Or has her phone been taken away by her family?"
Tong Yan said worriedly.
"Don't worry, it should be fine."
Xiao Chen comforted Tong Yan, but his heart was a little heavy.
If nothing had happened, she would not have cut off contact with Tong Yan.
Could it be that something really happened over there?
"But I haven't been able to contact her for two days. I thought her phone was out of battery or something, but now it seems that it's not out of battery at all."
Tong Yan finished speaking and looked at Xiao Chen.
"If I didn't know her address, I would have gone to look for her."
Hearing Tong Yan's words, Xiao Chen's heart moved. She didn't know, but he knew it!
"Well, don't worry, I'll go over there."
Xiao Chen looked at Tong Yan and said.
"you?"
Tong Yan was stunned for a moment, then surprised.
"Brother Chen, do you know the address of Xiaoyi's hometown?"
"Yes, I know."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"I'm calling now and asking someone to book the nearest flight over there."
"Uh-huh."
Tong Yan didn't think much about why Xiao Chen knew the address of Jie Yiling's hometown, and nodded.
All she had in her mind now was worry about her friend.
"Brother Chen, I'll go with you."
"You? No need, you stay in Longhai, I can go by myself."
Xiao Chen shook his head and took out his cell phone.
"You can't help even if you go. I'll call you when I find her."
"Oh, okay."
Tong Yan nodded.
Xiao Chen found Bai Ye's number and called him.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong?"
"Please book me a flight to Banan, a city near Xie Yiling's hometown."
Xiao Chen didn't waste any words and spoke directly.
"I want the fastest flight."
