Chapter 761: Chapter 761: Why Can’t Contact Jingyao Anymore
Gu Bingjun smiled nonchalantly, “Don’t worry. Even if I can’t leave temporarily, it’s no big deal. Yuanchen is free, he has many identities, and even if Zhuo Yuwei discovers his existence, he can’t do anything to him. You are pregnant now, no matter who comes, just ignore them… right, He Jingyao should be with you?”
Zhixi opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn’t say that she had already lost contact with Jingyao.
“Hmm…” She finally responded vaguely, “Dad, take good care of yourself.”
“Okay. Don’t worry, no matter how crazy Zhuo Yuwei gets, he won’t be able to do anything to me.” Gu Bingjun laughed heartily a few times, “If I die, that would be a serious diplomatic incident, his presidency would definitely be at risk.”
Zhixi’s nose soured, “Okay, I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, she clutched her cell phone tightly, fighting back the urge to cry.
After all… if it hadn’t been for her initially, Gu Bingjun wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation. He had a distinguished status in the Sovereign Nation, revered by all, yet he was forced into the political whirlwind of Yangdong City. Original content can be found at ɴovelfire.net
She thought for a while and then called Ning Yichen, but Ning Yichen’s phone was always busy.
Zhixi’s heart slowly sank.
Butler Li came over and said softly, “Young Mistress, that Zhuo Han still refuses to leave. Otherwise, I’ll call the bodyguards…”
Zhixi shook her head, “No… unless it’s absolutely necessary, don’t resort to violence.”
Although she and Gu Bingjun both had bodyguards, after all, this was Zhuo Yuwei’s territory. They all believed Zhuo Yuwei would not do something so crazy, but if he really did, Gu Bingjun probably really couldn’t cope.
“But you can’t go out with him,” Butler Li said seriously, “You’re still in the early stages of pregnancy, if something were to happen…”
“I know.” Zhixi took a deep breath, finally showing a trace of worry, “What I’m worried about now is why I can’t reach Jingyao.”
Something must have happened that prevented him from contacting her; otherwise, he would have already called her several times throughout the day.
Butler Li thought for a moment, “I’ll call the lady to ask.”
Fortunately, Liu Minjun provided some definite news, and she also comforted Zhixi for a few moments.
Zhixi smiled and thanked her.
“Young Mistress, don’t worry. When the young master was small, every time he did something to disobey the old master, he would be locked in the study,” Butler Li laughed, his expression tinged with nostalgia.
Zhixi spaced out for a moment and then suddenly asked, “Jingyao… did he argue with Uncle just because of me?”
“Of course not, don’t overthink it,” Butler Li said seriously.
Zhixi nodded, tossing all the messy thoughts to the back of her mind.
Right now, what she needed to consider was how to send Zhuo Han away. No matter what, it was impossible for her to go out on a date with him.
Zhixi went to Xiaobao’s room. The little guy, oblivious to everything, was lying on the floor giggling as he watched cartoons.
A tender smile appeared in her eyes, and she simply went over and picked up the little guy, joining him to watch.
Not long afterward, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
Zhixi was startled and quickly advised Xiaobao, then hurried out of the room.
Outside the villa, Zhuo Han had already stormed up to the steps, luckily the bodyguard stopped her.
“Miss Leslie, is this your way of welcoming guests?” Zhuo Han glanced at her, her smile carrying a hint of malice.
