It was just a small matter, and Soong Yinian didn't want to lower herself to her level so as to not hurt her relationship with him.

Tao Anlu anxiously pulled Xiao Li's hand, and quickly dove into the rain.

Soong Yinian looked up and saw that the two were covered by the rain curtain. Then, they disappeared from her sight, never to be seen again.

When the two of them reached the entrance of the company, Xiao Li turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Tao Anlu, "Are you really going to pick up Soong Yinian?"

Xiao Li looked over in confusion. Tao Anlu laughed: "The rain won't stop anytime soon, with Soong Yinian's ability, why would she not be able to borrow an umbrella?"

"But …"

"No buts."

Without further ado, Tao Anlu pulled Little Li and walked away, "When she asks again, just say that she was lent an umbrella when she arrived at the company."

About 20 minutes later, Soong Yinian still did not wait for Little Li to come and pick him up. She called him, but Little Li said that she was sorry.

There was no choice, the rain still did not have any intention of stopping, furthermore, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Soong Yinian could only stand outside, inside was still open for business, so it was not good for her to go in and take a seat.

Looking back at the time, it was already 2: 30 a.m. When it was almost time to go back to work, the rain was still pouring down non-stop, but it was at least better than before. The rain was not as heavy.

Soong Yinian clenched her teeth, she covered her head with her handbag and rushed into the rain.

After arriving at the company, Soong Yinian did not care about whether her clothes were wet or not, she ran all the way to the office and sat down, then took a tissue to wipe the water off her face.

Fortunately, the office was air-conditioned. Soong Yinian was a little wet, but she didn't feel very cold.

It wasn't easy for Soong Yinian to last until the end of work, when Pan Hsingyan would hand her a case and let her sort it out. She would go and investigate it tomorrow.

This was the first time she had entered the company. Soong Yinian was very concerned about it, the people in the office had all left and she was still busy.

By the time he finished handling the case, Soong Yinian's stomach was growling with hunger. She touched her stomach and stood up, shoulders hunched in cold as she sneezed.

Soong Yinian rubbed her nose, hoping that she did not catch a cold and left the company. She found a random restaurant on the side of the road and filled her stomach.

When he got home, he took a hot bath and lay down on his bed. It was already 10: 30 in the evening.

The room was still empty, Qi Mushen still had not come back.

Soong Yinian didn't know if he was busy outside, or if she didn't want to see her. She was tired, and her body was really uncomfortable.

After sleeping for the latter half of the night, a burst of thunderous roars woke Soong Yinian from her sleep. Lightning also struck in, and even though there was a thick curtain between them, it was still unable to block the blinding white light.

Before she went to sleep, Soong Yinian had left a light on, and when she opened her eyes, there was no one on the other side of the bed.

Qi Mushen did not come back last night. This thought made Soong Yinian's heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

At that time, the sound of thunder could be heard outside as lightning struck down. In an instant, a torrential downpour followed by a strong gust of wind hit the glass, causing the raindrops to splash against the glass and echo in everyone's ears.

Seeing this, Soong Yinian couldn't help but recall the scene that she remembered the most in her mind. The same thunder and lightning, the same violent winds and torrential rain.

All she could see was darkness. Death's hands were around her neck, and she almost suffocated in the cold water. The fear of death, the helplessness. All that was left was despair.

Soong Yinian shrunk back onto the bed and hid under the blanket while trembling. Both of her hands held onto the corners of the blanket tightly and her face was full of tears as she muttered one after another, "Qi Mushen, where are you? Qi Mushen, where are you … "

Over and over again, her voice was so low that it drowned out the sound of thunder and the sound of rain.

Soong Yinian didn't know how long she had called out that name, she only knew that it had rained for a long time, and that if the rain had stopped in the end, she also didn't know.

Soong Yinian only remembered that her entire body was drenched in cold sweat, her head was extremely dizzy, and she could no longer hold on, fainting.

At the same time, Qi Mushen also did not feel sleepy at all. He got up and walked towards the French windows, pulling open the curtains to reveal the entire city.

Qi Mushen closed the curtain and walked over to his bed. He picked up his phone and dialed Soong Yinian's number. He had been staying at the hotel the past two days, so he was definitely angry.

The voice rang many times, but there was still no answer. Qi Mushen frowned, and after hanging up, he made a few more calls, but he still did not pick up.

Qi Mushen thought for a while, then called another number.

When he received Qi Mushen's call in the middle of the night due to the thunderstorm, Lao Chang was extremely frightened.

After seeing the caller ID, Lao Chang immediately picked up, "Mr Qi, what's the matter?"

"Where's Madame?" Qi Mushen was not vague.

Lao Chang replied, "When Madam comes back, she went to sleep. She slept very early for the next two days."

Qi Mushen acknowledged and did not say anything else. He hung up the phone.

But with his call, Lao Chang became worried and flew to the window. Opening it, he looked in the direction of the bedroom, through the rain curtain, he could still see a faint light.

Lao Chang knew that Soong Yinian had left a light before she went to sleep these past two days. He shook her head, turned around and went straight to sleep.

The next morning, after the heavy rain, the weather was clear and the air clean. The sky was bright.

As usual, Lao Chang instructed the servants to clean the courtyard and prepare breakfast.

Breakfast was ready, and Soong Yinian did not come down from the stairs. She looked at the time, and saw that it was already 7: 40, which was 20 points later than usual.

Just as Lao Chang was considering whether he should call the servant up, the sound of a carriage came from the courtyard. He hurriedly turned around and walked out.

Qi Mushen's mind was unsettled for an entire night. After lying down, he was no longer sleepy, and as soon as the sun rose he hurriedly left the hotel, hurrying all the way back.

Before Lao Chang could even get close, Qi Mushen had already opened the car door and got off.

"Not yet. I was about to call someone to get her." Lao Chang followed behind and answered truthfully.

"No need, I'll go by myself." While Qi Mushen was speaking, he had already entered the hall. Lao Chang was stunned and followed him.

When Qi Mushen pushed the door and entered, the room was very quiet. There was a bulge on the bed, with one glance, one could tell that the person inside was Soong Yinian.

Walking to the side of the bed, Qi Mushen realized that Soong Yinian was sleeping with her head covered. It wasn't strange, it was thunder and lightning last night, it would be weird if she wasn't.
