Chapter 403: Could Not Find Him
In the afternoon, He Xiyan had been in her children’s company. She did not go to the rehabilitation center as scheduled, nor was she in the mood to.
She simply accompanied her children, whether they were playing or resting.
In the evening, she glanced at the gate from time to time, waiting for him to come back. However, having waited there for a long time, she still didn’t see that car.
Taking out her cell phone, she dialed his phone number. A familiar ringtone came along, but no one answered for quite a while.
He didn’t answer her phone.
He Xiyan was stunned in the hall at once, clasping and then relaxing her hands stiffly. She looked at her cell phone, then at the main road outside the castle, where there were only street lights and street lights.
At this time, steward Lu came over. He nodded his head politely to greet He Xiyan and said, “Madam, Mr. Ye said that he wouldn’t come back for dinner tonight. He asked you to rest early after dinner rather than wait for him.”
He Xiyan was somewhat confused. It was the first time that he had something to be told by domestic servants instead of calling her or sending her messages directly.
Usually, he would tell her in advance if he couldn’t get home on time. So was he really so angry?
“What else did he say?” He Xiyan asked, a little anxious.
“Mr. Ye didn’t say anything else. You go to dinner first. Madam…” After that, steward Lu nodded his head and left with a smile, leaving He Xiyan standing there like a fool.
Looking at the cell phone again, she clicked open Wechat, found his account, and sent a short message, “Dear, when will you come back?”
The message was sent out immediately. After that, He Xiyan kept staring at the screen, expecting the ring of messages coming in. However, for a long time, the screen remained dark, with no message replied from him.
By 10 o’clock at night, her cell phone was still silent, as if it had been turned off.
She put on a long windbreaker and stood by the window, looking at the road in the distance. She didn’t know how long she had been standing there. Until her feet turned numb, she suddenly closed the window.
At this time, however, her heart was beating wildly and irregularly.
She wanted to call him again, but she knew that he would not answer even though she didn’t call.
He must be very angry. Was it because she went to meet Mo Yixuan and Li Qin herself?
The only reason He Xiyan could think of was this. She did not tell him, so he was angry?
The thought made He Xiyan even more anxious. The most important thing was that she didn’t know what he was doing or where he was. Besides, she didn’t want it to turn into a cold war between them.
Walking near the wardrobe, she found a light suit and changed into a pair of flat shoes. She would look for him if he did not come back. In short, there couldn’t be no communication between them like this.
Arriving at the garage, she took a sports car which he usually drove, and drove straight out of the castle to Huayang Building.
He often worked overtime recently, so he should still be in the company at this time.
Along the way, He Xiyan drove very fast, her heart full of butterflies. Today, it was indeed her fault. She shouldn’t have gone to meet them without telling him beforehand.
When she arrived at the building, it was already past 11 at night. Darkness reigned inside the building. The floors with lights on were hardly visible as well. Even the security guards at the door dozed off on the table.
He Xiyan went into the hall of the building and turned to a receptionist on duty there. The receptionist was also surprised that she would come here so late.
“Is Mr. Ye still in the office?” She asked urgently.
The receptionist was stunned at first, then shook her head in surprise. “You must be Mrs. Ye? Boss Ye already left work around 9 p.m.? Can’t you find him?”
