However, he wanted to borrow his wealth to help him climb upwards. He was very willing, very willing. How could he refuse prey that came to his doorsteps?

After that, it was still a busy and tense day.

When he was about to get off work at night, he suddenly received a call from Steward Gu.

"Young Master, the old man is here to take care of things. Don't forget to bring the wife back for dinner tonight!"

"What?"

He growled with a headache. What the heck was this old man doing? If he wasn't staying in the capital properly, he would definitely come to attend his wedding. He had already said that it was just a joke and he wouldn't listen to it, but what was he doing now?

Annoyed, he hung up the phone and was no longer in the mood to continue his work. He then called her again, but the phone was still turned off and he was so angry that he almost threw the phone out of the attic.

Damn woman, what's the use of having a phone! His phone had been turned off for the entire day!

Wasn't it just giving her something? Was there a need to be so narrow-minded? Was she going to hate him for the rest of her life?

Since he could not get in touch with her, he went back in the evening with a gloomy face. The old man was already sitting at the large dining table, waiting for him. In front of him was a huge pile of sumptuous food.

Seeing him return by himself, the old man's face, which was still smiling and chatting with Old Gu, immediately darkened. His tone was filled with displeasure.

"Where's your wife?"

He was slightly surprised, for the old man's natural address, 'wife' was a very unfamiliar word to him. He only treated him as his own woman and had not reached the level of 'wife'. Perhaps she would not be able to drink him as a stranger.

He lightly coughed to cover his embarrassment, and Mo Mo said,

"The phone can't be reached!"

The old man was unrelenting.

"If you can't beat it, then you won't fight? Didn't you know to pick her up at her office? "

"Ahem — Madame is still in school!"

Old Gu timely warned behind the old man, causing Gu Mo Cheng to roll his eyes. Was he his steward, or was he the old man's follower!

The old man then changed his words.

"Won't you pick her up at her school if you can't get through?"

Gu Mo City almost vomited blood. He was already inexplicably annoyed today, but now that the old man was so overbearing, he couldn't help but roar.

"Old man, I'm saying, are you done yet? I only married her to humiliate the Mu family. Why are you making it sound like she's a husband and wife?!"

"Stinking brat!" "You, you …"

How could the old man's irritable temper allow him to yell like that? He flew into a rage and angrily jumped up from his chair, looking for something to beat him up with.

Fortunately, Old Gu, who was at the side, pulled him back. He puffed his beard and glared at Gu Mo City.

"I don't care why you married her. Since you married her, you have to treat her well!"

He took a sip of the water that Old Gu handed to him, and then reprimanded,

"It would have been fine if she was one of those dishonest women, but look at that little girl, she's so nice. She's so plain and light, neither arrogant nor impetuous!"

Although he had only seen her once on his wedding day, his vast experience in reading people showed that although the girl appeared cold on the surface, she was actually a kind-hearted and loving girl.

"It's not like you don't know. It's impossible for her and I to be together!"

Gu Mo Cheng's head hurt from the old man's unreasonable actions.

The old man was very clear about everything, but why did he still force him to get entangled with that Mu Ran?

The old man retracted his anger and said while looking at him earnestly.

"Let me tell you, no matter how deep your relationship is, if you aren't able to formally walk together and have no status, then it means that the fate of your past lives isn't enough for you to be husband and wife in this life!"

"As for you and Xiao Yan, no matter what purpose you married, you two are still husband and wife after all. So, immediately go and fetch her back!"

the old man said, and pointed at him.

"Incomprehensible!"

He threw the word "old man" to the old man and left in a huff.

He wandered aimlessly in the car, distracted by his thoughts. He didn't know how long he had wandered for, or whether the old man's words had influenced him, or if it was for some other reason. He took out his cell phone and dialed her number again.

Looking at the time, he saw that it was already late. Listening to the cold tone of the notification coming from the other side of the phone, he suddenly had a bad premonition. Thus, he turned the steering wheel in his hand and headed towards the small apartment she lived in.

He parked the car downstairs and quickly climbed up to the sixth floor. Long Er gave him a set of keys after he bought the house, and he didn't think he needed to throw it in the trash. Luckily, he had kept it in his car and it came in handy today.

Opening the door was a full room of darkness. After fumbling with the light on, he saw a warm and clean house. Although it was small, it was full of furniture and appliances, arranged in a neat and tidy manner. It was obvious that the owner was a meticulous and clean person.

However, no matter how warm the house was, he had no mood to appreciate it. It was still so late and her phone had been switched off all day. According to his usual analysis, something didn't feel right.

He called Dragon 2 and asked him to find out where she was today and what classes she had in school. Then he took off his coat and casually sat on her small sofa to wait.

He opened the shoe closet to find a pair of slippers to wear, but there was only one of hers. He kicked the door shut in anger, so he could only walk around the room barefooted.

While he was waiting for the call, he took a closer look at her little room.

He admitted that he had mocked and despised her when she had asked for a house. He had thought it would be a luxurious villa, but he had not expected her to ask for such a place.

The tone of the bedroom was entirely light green. The light green bed sheets, bedclothes, and pillow cases gave off a refreshing and exuberant feeling.

There were a few pieces of her clothes on the balcony, including her usual clothes and her cute panties. Looking at the design, he couldn't help but frown and grunt in his heart: childish!

After he finished reading the contents of the bedroom, he walked to the refrigerator outside to get a bottle of water. When he looked down, he saw a note pasted on the fridge.

He looked at it closely. It said: "Pig!" Stop eating ice cream! You can only eat one per day. If you continue to eat, you'll really become fat like a pig! "

It was followed by a series of exclamations and a tearful and aggrieved cartoon face. Looking at these childish actions, his lips couldn't help but slightly curve, which then turned into a hearty laugh.

Honestly speaking, he thought about her usual cold expression when she was treating him, but no matter what he did, he could not connect her with these cute words. It seemed like she wasn't so boring or cold after all.

He smiled and shook his head. He opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water, then drank it. The phone rang at the right time. It was Dragon 2. He walked over and leaned on the sofa, pressing the answer button.

"Eldest Brother, we've checked out all the classes at the school. She has lessons today, but …"

Dragon 2 hesitated for a moment before saying,

"However, it was said that she skipped more classes than usual, so it is still unknown whether she actually attended class today!"

Skipping classes? Gu Mo Cheng raised a hand to rub his forehead. It was difficult for him to associate the image of a bad girl who skipped classes with her. Long Er continued.

"Boss, she doesn't have any exit records or anything like that. She disappeared into thin air!"
