Cheng Su heard this and was stunned for a moment. “I’ve booked a 10 am flight for tomorrow.”
“Change it or return the ticket.” Li Beinian onto her feet. “I’d like to leave now.”
This was the first time in days that Cheng Su had seen Li Beinian so anxious.
She immediately followed behind and said nervously, “Drink up your water now, I’ll book a ticket for you!”
It was dawn when she arrived in Guang City.
Li Beinian got Bo Chengcheng to pick her up.
Coincidentally, Bo Chengcheng had just finished work and was not too far away, so she came over.
Li Beinian got into the front passenger seat.
Bo Chengcheng looked at her and shook her head. “Look at you. Your fans snapped. They jumped right into giving Lin Kerou a good dressing down. They’ve made her ill with all the scolding and she has been sent to the hospital, her situation doesn’t look too good.”
Li Beinian looked over at her. “Why was she hospitalized?”
“Probably a hiccup with the pregnancy.” Bo Chengcheng looked at the road ahead and sneered. “I’d say, this woman is really impressive – pretending to be innocent after having done something like that. She insisted it wasn’t her. It’s your bad luck to have offended such a woman.”
Li Beinian closed her eyes and sighed. “This is just fate.”
Bo Chengcheng chuckled. “Probably. Where to?”
“Where’s Su Su?”
“She left with Bai Yuan.” Bo Chengcheng threw her a glance. “How about Qing Shui Fu? It’s nearby and on my way home.”
“Alright.”
With Li Beinian’s response, Bo Chengcheng drove towards Qing Shui Fu.
Along the way, Li Beinian closed her eyes and rested.
Bo Chengcheng glanced at her from time to time while also paying attention to the road ahead.
“Sister Bo,” Li Beinian suddenly said. “Has Mr. Jiang been at home recently?”
Bo Chengcheng was surprised by the question and immediately twitched her lips. “Who knows? Maybe he’s been, maybe not. I don’t know. I’ve been very busy recently. Did you think I manage only one artiste?”
Li Beinian glanced at her. She wondered if it was her own imagination, but Bo Chengcheng looked somewhat lonely.
When she arrived home, Li Beinian dropped herself onto the bed without even taking a shower.
The feeling of home was something that a hotel would never be able to provide.
Li Beinian removed her jacket and laid on the blanket. Before she knew it, tears were forming in the corners of her eyes.
Like a newly acquired habit, she picked up her phone and dialed Mu Xichen’s number.
The call was quickly connected.
It was just like the countless times before.
Initially, her heart would feel that painful squeeze each time.
She was fearful that no one would pick up the call, fearful that it would ring for too long and automatically disconnect.
Fearful of the disappointment that all these would bring.
But every time, she would end up feeling these same emotions that she feared feeling.
After countless repeats, Li Beinian started to feel a certain numbness that accompanied the anxiety.
Listening to the ringing in the receiver, Li Beinian was prepared that the call would go unanswered again.
However, at the same time that she was making this call, she seemed to also hear a ringing coming from outside.
Li Beinian immediately covered the speaker of her phone. Sure enough, there was the sound of a phone ringing outside!
It was Mu Xichen’s cell phone!
Li Beinian immediately rushed out of the room, an idea suddenly popping up in her mind: The phone had gone unanswered for so many days because he had left it here?
As this thought occurred to her, she ran towards the ringing phone.
It was in another room!
Li Beinian pushed open the door. It was pitch black inside.
The phone was vibrating on the bed. Through the light from the living room, Li Beinian could clearly see a human figure under the blanket.
That person was lying quietly and did not react at all to her arrival.
It was as though, it was oblivious to everything.
