Although Li Guanyu had been out of the business world for many years, he had been tempered by experience and had seen countless people. Just by looking at Fang Yu's expression, he knew that she had guessed something.
"Mr. Li, this way please."
After a brief moment of panic, Fang Yu regained her composure and pushed open the door to let Li Guanyu in.
"The secretary is not lying to you. Our CEO, Mr. Song, is indeed not here. You can let me know when you need him. I am currently handling all matters related to the Song Group."
Li Guanyu looked at her with a half-smile, as if joking, "Can you handle my son's affairs?"
Fang Yu was speechless.
When will Song Nuan be back?
"President Song is away on a business trip outside the province and won't be back anytime soon."
"Outside the province?" Li Guanyu smiled and immediately understood why Li Jingchen had said he wouldn't attend his birthday banquet.
He casually glanced around the office and asked, "Where did she go?"
Logically, this was a private trip and shouldn't be revealed. Fang Yu looked embarrassed and said, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, this is President Song's private trip, and I have no right to tell you."
Li Guanyu wasn't angry.
He was just acting on a whim, suddenly wanting to see what the rumored woman was like, that she could make Li Jingchen lose his mind and disregard their father-son relationship.
"Call her now."
Fang Yu frowned, instinctively feeling that Li Guanyu's meeting with Song Nuan was not for anything good. After agreeing, she made an excuse that her phone was out of battery and she had to go get a charger. As soon as she left the office, she immediately sent a message to Song Nuan.
At that time, Yun County.
A tall, dark-skinned man stood blankly at the door of Song Nuan's room, holding several plastic bags in one hand, the contents of which were unknown, while banging on the door with the other.
"Miss Song, I've brought you some food."
About a minute later, the heavy wooden door slowly opened. Song Nuan looked up at him, then at the things in his hands. He was the man who had been asked to help carry her down the mountain last night.
"Thank you, but I've already eaten today."
“These are steamed buns my mom made herself. They’re delicious. Try them. If you can’t eat them now, have them for dinner.” He scratched his head sheepishly, looking at Song Nuan expectantly, as if afraid she would refuse.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Song Nuan accepted it.
However, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind—
"The hotel doesn't have a microwave. Are you planning to eat cold buns tonight?"
Ouyang Zhoujing appeared out of nowhere, leaning against the doorframe, watching the two of them with an air of leisure.
After he said that, the young man realized that it was inappropriate and was at a loss. Before Song Nuan could say anything, he snatched the plastic bag back from his hand.
"I'll heat it up and bring it to you tonight, don't eat!"
After saying that, he fled in panic.
Song Nuan tugged at the corner of her lips, glanced at him subconsciously, and froze instantly.
She stood there stunned for a long time before finding her voice, "You—"
"What?" A deep, magnetic voice rang out, cold and indifferent, just like its owner, with a strong sense of displeasure. "Is this the look on your face when you see me?"
Song Nuan was completely dumbfounded.
Why is Li Jingchen here?
When did you arrive?
"last night."
Ouyang Zhoujing stepped aside, and Li Jingchen walked out of the house, his brows still furrowed. He picked Ouyang up and carried him in his arms, saying coldly, "You didn't even tell me you were so badly injured. See how I deal with you."
Song Nuan believed that there was nothing of substance in what he said, but she just couldn't stop her face from burning.
Especially when she saw the way Ouyang Zhoujing looked at her...
She buried her head in Li Jingchen's arms, choosing to ignore it altogether.
The door slammed shut.
Li Jingchen put her on the bed. Song Nuan had many questions for him, such as how he knew where he was, and what he was there for—to find her? Or to help Ouyang Zhoujing resolve the Wen family's affairs?
Before she could even ask those questions, a tearing sound rang out—the sound of fabric being ripped. She felt a chill on her chest, gasped, and quickly pulled the blanket over herself.
Li Jingchen glanced at her, then slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his well-defined and handsome arm muscles.
“I remember how many moles you have and where they are, so there’s no need to cover them up.”
Song Nuan: "..."
She muttered "pervert" under her breath and said, "Look at the weather now."
Li Jingchen glanced out the window; snow was falling. He went and closed all the windows and drew the curtains. He then walked around the room and finally found the air conditioner remote, only to discover that it didn't have a heating function.
He laughed in exasperation, "I don't know why you insisted on coming to this lousy place."
"You came too, didn't you?"
"If you weren't here, would I have come all this way?" he said with a mournful look in his eyes. "How did you get all these injuries?"
He lifted a corner of the blanket, revealing half of Song Nuan's calf. After two days of applying medicine, her ankle was not as bad as it had been at first, but it was still shocking to see.
There were several bluish-yellow bruises on his calves.
The man frowned as he looked at him.
He brought medicine with him when he came. He poured the medicinal wine into his palm, rubbed it to warm it, and then began to massage Song Nuan's feet.
"Ouch! Be gentle."
She gasped.
"You still feel pain?" he retorted, but his movements became gentler. "No one forced you to come. You knew to send Xu Yiran away, but you didn't know to come back with her?"
He had arranged for people to be in Yunxian County long ago, so he knew everything they did after they landed there.
Upon learning that Xu Yiran was returning to Liangcheng, Li Jingchen initially thought that Song Nuan would also return.
Surprisingly, she stayed.
As a result, an accident happened that very day. He fell and was injured on the mountain, and also got separated from Ouyang Zhoujing.
Song Nuan ignored him.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Last time I told you not to come, you were quite talkative, weren't you?" He looked up at her.
What will happen to Qiu Rong if I leave?
"He brought so many people, why are you worried about him?"
"Look," Song Nuan pouted slightly, her face full of dissatisfaction, "you don't like to hear what I've said."
Li Jingchen was both angry and helpless, and gave up after a slight twitch of his lips.
He had specifically studied massage techniques. When they were together before, sometimes he would ask for too much, and Song Nuan would wake up the next day with a sore back and aching waist, and Li Jingchen would give her a massage.
The body recovers quickly after a massage.
Of course, many times, things can go wrong while you're trying to hold it in.
She lay on the pillow, letting Li Jingchen fondle her, and couldn't help but think of Du Kangtao again, asking, "Did you really come to Yunxian this time just for me?"
"You want me to come for someone else?"
Song Nuan pouted, "You should know that Ouyang Zhoujing is investigating the Wen family, right? Aren't you here to help him?"
What would I do to help him?
He packed his things and wiped his hands with a tissue. "This is between him and the Wen family. I can't get involved, and I won't. You alone are enough to worry me about."
Song Nuan automatically ignored his last sentence.
In fact, she knew in her heart that Li Jingchen came to Yunxian to take her back to Liangcheng.
If it weren't for Du Kangtao's affair, she might have really left this godforsaken place with him.
