Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Human Evaporation
Su Zixi felt as if every cell in her body started to tremble… He had kissed her many times before, but only this time had she harbored the thoughts of reciprocating, wishing she could be closer, deeper.
He Jingyao’s right hand was cushioned between her head and the wall while his left hand gripped her waist tightly, facilitating his domination and deeper exploration… His body pressed against hers, leaving no space between them.
Su Zixi breathed rapidly, almost suffocating from his kisses, yet she couldn’t bear to let go…
After what seemed like an eternity, He Jingyao finally let out a muffled grunt and released her, but it seemed he wasn’t quite satisfied as he took one more nibble.
“Wait for me in the office,” his voice was low and husky, “I’ll be back within an hour at most.”
Su Zixi’s mind was still dazed, and she couldn’t say a word, only nodding blankly…
He Jingyao knitted his brows, as if holding back something, his fingers lingering on her cheek: “You really know how to pick your moments… But I like it.”
After speaking, he pressed the elevator button to open the doors, straightened his slightly disheveled coat, and before leaving, he squeezed her hand suggestively, his smile full of profound meaning…
Su Zixi couldn’t help but blush.
Fortunately, the man promptly left with his assistant, exiting the company.
The elevator doors closed behind them, taking Su Zixi to the top floor.
She let out a long sigh of relief, touching her burning cheeks, unable to stop smiling.
Was this…her surprise for him?
Huo Yanzhao finished a medical meeting and returned to his office.
The first thing he did was pick up his phone, but as expected, there was still no news.
The inbox contained only messages from Mrs. Wu assuring him she was safe.
Huo Yanzhao let out a wry smile. In the past, he and Xuefei exchanged dozens of messages every day, whether he was performing surgery or in a meeting, he would always come back to his office to see her teasing or caring text messages.
He pursed his lips tightly and dialed a number; the call was quickly connected.
Huo Yanzhao asked coldly, “Still no news about her whereabouts?”
“No,” came a weary and helpless voice from the other end, “I went back to her hometown and pressed her family for information, but they don’t know where she is… It’s been five whole days, this woman vanished into thin air!”
Huo Yanzhao took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.
“Keep looking until you find her! I’ll send you another sum of money,” Huo Yanzhao said hoarsely.
The other party’s spirits lifted: “Okay, I won’t disappoint you!”
Huo Yanzhao tossed the phone aside, gazed out at the gradually withering leaves outside the window, and closed his eyes in resignation.
By this point, he was increasingly convinced that Sun Qiuran’s appearance wasn’t coincidental; otherwise, how could she just disappear without a trace?
He must find Sun Qiuran and resolve this matter; otherwise, he couldn’t go back to see Xuefei, nor could he muster the courage to ask for her forgiveness.
Although the Huo Family was also a prominent family in Yanzhou City, and almost all hospitals in the city had shares owned by the Huo Family, his connections were limited to Yanzhou City. Finding a woman in the vast sea of people was anything but easy.
But with the He Family’s influence spread across the country, spanning business and political circles, it was much easier.
The question, however, was how to approach Jingyao about it.
