In the hall, it was quiet. Xia Ning looked at the man’s dark eyes in front of her. The tenderness in his eyes was revealed in front of her.
What he meant by not wanting her to be in a difficult position is that he would take care of this matter quietly and also cover up their relationship.
Xia Ning looked down suddenly and smiled in a low voice. “I’m afraid it won’t be easy to cover up now. So don’t waste your energy.” They already said ‘Stay tuned on Wednesday.’ Obviously, they were going to be exposed.
And even though they knew her and Qiao Yu’s identities, they still made such an advanced notice. Ultimately, they were not afraid of offending people.
Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning’s calm face and said in a low voice, “No matter who is behind this, I will not let her go.”
It looked like he knew who it was. Xia Ning did not speak.
Gao Lihua’s identity was special. She was Gao Wanhua’s younger sister. Because of Gao Wanhua, she could not go too far with her. But it was different if Qiao Yu showed up. It would be easier to explain to Gao Wanhua.
“Aunt is missing,” Qiao Yu said suddenly. “So you should understand what I mean.”
Missing?! Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu in surprise. Didn’t Gao Wanhua go to the Gao family with Gao Lihua that night?
“When did this happen?” Xia Ning frowned.
“The night before yesterday,” Qiao Yu said in a low voice. “Gao Yang asked me to find her, but there are no leads yet.”
Xia Ning thought for a second. “That’s almost forty-eight hours.” She curled her lips suddenly. “If something really happened, you would be able to find her. Looks like she’s hiding and not letting anyone find her.”
Qiao Yu did not speak. Obviously, he agreed with Xia Ning.
“Where’s Shen Tianlang now?” Xia Ning asked suddenly. The Shen family’s state was not as good as before. It was very difficult to find someone in S City. But Shen Tianlang was a stubborn person and would probably not ask for help easily. Therefore, Gao Yang was the one who showed up eventually.
“He’s already called the police. But the police have yet to find any leads. According to the surveillance camera outside the Gao family’s ancestral house, she got in a car and left. But no one knows where she went because the surveillance camera did not capture the plate number of that car.
Xia Ning thought for a second and said, “If that’s the case, I can speculate that she must have asked someone to expose this and followed that person. She must be afraid of us taking revenge or wanting to give us a heavy blow. She really hates us.”
It was not surprising for a selfish woman like Gao Lihua to do something like this. She only had herself in her eyes. When someone violated her interests, she would take revenge.
“Looks like we can only wait for tomorrow’s show.” Xia Ning chuckled. “To be honest, I’ve been defamed for so long and it’s always the same. I don’t know if this is new or not.”
Qiao Yu saw Xia Ning’s sly look and understood what she meant. She did not mind making it public, so he accompanied her to watch the show. He could not help but curl her nose, his eyes filled with love. “Of course there’s something new.” Because he was the male lead this time!
Their eyes met and their breaths were filled with each other’s scent.
He hooked her chin and moved his head closer to her tender lips. He could never get tired of it.
Xia Ning also realized that she was getting more and more obsessed with his gentleness. She moved closer when he simply hooked his finger. That was so shameless.
Just as their lips were about to touch, Qiao Yu’s phone rang suddenly. Soon after, Xia Ning’s phone rang as well!
