Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Some Sobriety after a Night In the Wind
All the way there, Gu Ming heard the vibration of the phone.
The man sitting in the passenger seat started off with a drunken consciousness from drinking too much. As time went on, whether it was because of the night breeze or he was sobering up on his own, he seemed to be less drunk and gradually regained consciousness.
“Buzz, buzz…” The phone he had been holding since the beginning kept buzzing with vibrations.
The now gradually sobering man stared firmly at the phone screen, showing no intention of answering.
The phone rang continuously for a full ten minutes before it finally went silent.
Gu Ming, however, felt as if the pressure inside the car had dropped even more.
Although he was focusing on driving and didn’t see who the call was from, he could guess from Mr. Li’s reaction that it must have been Miss Rong!
It was only with Miss Rong’s calls that Mr. Li had such a big reaction.
If it had been anyone else’s call, Mr. Li, if he really didn’t want to answer, could have just hung up or blacklisted the caller. Instead of staring at it without answering but also not hanging up.
Gu Ming had no idea what kind of conflict Mr. Li and Miss Rong were having this time, for Mr. Li to go so far as not answering Miss Rong’s calls, ah, just hope that Miss Rong doesn’t think that Mr. Li not answering the phone also means being angry and starts ignoring Mr. Li, that would be really bad…
With no sound in the car, Gu Ming floored the gas pedal, speeding up the car, hoping to get to the hospital sooner.
In his anxious state,
the phone, which had been quiet for a while, rang again.
As soon as the vibration sounded, he clearly felt the air that had been oppressive become much better.
He couldn’t help it and reminded in a quiet voice, “Mr. Li, your phone is ringing, aren’t you going to answer it?”
Li Shengxiao stared at the phone, looking at the flashing name, his rose-colored lips pressed into a straight line, clutching the phone tightly, his jawline tensed.
Seeing that he didn’t speak, but just stared at his phone without looking away, Gu Ming mustered up the courage to softly say, “It’s late, it might be Miss Rong calling. She’s at home alone, she must be very worried about you.”
Miss Rong is alone at home!
His implication was, “President, please answer the phone!”
You’re not hanging up, obviously wanting Miss Rong to call, but when she does, you don’t answer…
If this goes on, there will come a time when Miss Rong gets angry and stops calling, then the air pressure will drop again.
“Since when did you talk so much?” Li Shengxiao’s temples throbbed, and his stomach continued to cramp as if in spasms. But this cramping just helped him keep his mind clear and rational.
Scolded by him, Gu Ming bowed his head, not daring to speak again.
The car again became peaceful.
Li Shengxiao lowered his head, watching the light on his phone flicker and then fade again, felt as if a huge rock had slammed into his chest, squeezing all his organs together.
He gripped the phone tightly, forcefully suppressing the boiling desire in his blood.
He wanted to hear her voice, to personally confirm she wasn’t hurt like the three men at the police station had said… and he wanted to press her against a wall, and fiercely seal her red lips, punishing her for putting herself in a dangerous situation!
Li Shengxiao’s handsome face turned iron-blue, he forcefully suppressed all the emotions in his chest, closed his eyes, leaned back in his seat, and quietly endured the cramps in his stomach, allowing his emotions to slowly extinguish…
