C423 Nocturnal absence

According to Buddhist logic, if a man and woman who were fated to be together could not achieve perfection in their last life, then a man would have failed his woman. Then in the next life, he would have found her early and made up for the injuries and debts he had caused her in his previous life.

They had known each other for more than six or seven years when she spoke to him, and they had grown up together, and they had grown up together.

He smiled and said that she had read too many novels in love. However, he subconsciously believed her completely baseless theory and felt that he must have fallen in love with her in his previous life and fulfilled his destiny of being perfect with her.

However, reality proved that in the end, she and him weren't perfect. Perhaps, they weren't lovers in their previous life, or perhaps, they didn't even exist in this life.

Perhaps he shouldn't have brought her back to the Ji Mansion that year. Perhaps he could have given the siblings some money to move them out of the orphanage and live a peaceful life. At least they could still be alive now.

Ying Ying, I've let you down. I can't protect you, but I've harmed you!

Yes, don't remember me anymore. In your next life, find another man. Find that man who can truly protect you and love you for your entire life. And I, am unworthy.

In the gloomy sky, it was unknown when the rain began to fall, but the entire mountaintop seemed to be shrouded in mist, appearing desolate and lonely.

The rain beat down on the newly built cemetery, and the white roses spread out all around it slowly withered and destroyed.

Ji Chenxi looked at the vast expanse, the cold and desolate scene, becoming even more sorrowful from the bottom of his heart.

"Young Master Ji, let's go back first." After a while, Jian Hao walked over and called him softly.

Ji Chenxi acted as if he did not hear his, and continued to stare forward without moving. In the end, he placed his gaze on the photo of Jian Yingying for an eternity and finally set off, walking down the mountain with heavy steps.

Returning to the city, as the night mist was descending, Ji Chenxi asked Jian Hao to drive the car directly to the company. Then, he locked himself in his office and fell into his painful thoughts once again.

In his world, all he knew was guilt, regret, and nostalgia for Jian Yingying. She had completely forgotten about everything around him and had forgotten that there was a person bitterly waiting for him at home.

The Gu Rou at this moment, was indeed looking forward to his appearance.

At four o'clock in the afternoon she began to prepare dinner carefully, and when it was all ready, she called him again on his cell phone, but still turned to the message box.

Half an hour later she continued to call, leaving a message asking where he was and when he would be back. She cooked dinner and waited for him to join her.

Time passed, but she did not see his figure, nor did she hear any news about him. She did not find Shen Yue to ask, nor did she look for An Qingze. This was the perfect spot to see the entrance to the garage, but at such a high altitude, and with the drizzling rain, she couldn't see what was on the ground.

She couldn't help but think back to her time in Beijing, when she was also looking at a place like this foolishly, looking forward to his return. Suddenly, she felt that there was an astonishing resemblance to history, causing her heart to palpitate.

No, no!

Didn't An Qingze say that he was going to see a customer, and maybe hadn't finished the discussion yet? For him to personally come out with the project, it must be very important, and it's normal for him to go through it a little longer.

Thus, she couldn't let her imagination run wild and believe in him!

He had experienced so much, especially the matter of's imprisonment. It had truly proven his care and love for him, so how could he possibly doubt Mu Wanrong?

Gu Rou kept on comforting herself in her heart to avoid thinking too much. She even went back to her room from the balcony and started watching TV.

One by one, the shows switched from this channel to that channel, from the news to variety shows, then to the TV series, and then to the song.

Gu Rou stared at the television screen, she did not forget to pay attention to the door and her phone, but unfortunately, after she had fallen asleep, she still could not see the man.

Without taking a bath, she slept on the sofa until daybreak. It was clear how tired she was. Yes, not only her body, but also her heart.

When she woke up the next day, she found that the inside of the house was completely silent. There were no traces of Ji Chenxi coming back, and even the dishes on the table were completely intact.

Looking at the dishes that had long since turned ice-cold and were no longer as delicious as when they were first cooked, her chest felt as if it had been hammered by something. It was extremely painful.

She took the phone and continued dialing the number that she had called who knows how many times. This time, she got through, but no one answered.

Ji Chenxi, what's wrong with you, where did you go?

Do you know what the worst thing for a woman is? It was she who woke up and discovered that her man had not returned for the entire night!

Moreover, she could not get through to his phone no matter what!

You're busy at work, I understand, you don't have time to spend with me, and I won't force you, but at least give me a phone call or a text to let me know where you are and what you're doing.

She kept forcing herself not to suspect anymore, but at that moment, Gu Rou could no longer control it. Perhaps, she no longer wanted to be restrained and wronged.

She finally found Shen Yue once again.

It was still early, so Shen Yue might still not have woken up. His throat was hoarse from sleep, causing Gu Rou to instantly feel guilty.

The reason he woke her up so early was to ask her where his man was.

Gu Rou, how can you endure this!

She immediately wanted to cut the call, but Shen Yue kept on calling her name.

Suppressing her complicated thoughts, Gu Rou cleared her throat and pretended to be calm, "Chenxi still hasn't come back yet. I want to ask, do you know where he is?"

Shen Yue, who was on the other side of the phone, was shocked by her question, his mind that was still in a mess immediately turned to clear and bright, feeling extremely surprised: "Gu Rou, you said, Young Master Ji didn't come back last night?"

Gu Rou took a deep breath again, and answered with a word "En".

"Wait a moment, I'll ask Boss An. Oh right, don't worry, Young Master Ji will be fine."

Finished, Shen Yue hung up the phone and called Ji Chenxi first. There was no one who answered, so he quickly went to look for An Qingze.

An Qingze was also a very disciplined person, because there was an early morning meeting today and he was on his way to the company. Hearing Shen Yue say that Ji Chenxi did not return home last night, he could not help but be startled.

"Boss An, nothing will happen to Young Master Ji, right? Where did he meet his guest yesterday? Should we go and take a look? " Shen Yue flustered and exasperated, he had heard of the matters in Beijing before, so he was worried that Mu Wanrong and her group would stop worrying about their old man and take action in advance.

An Qingze understood what was going on and immediately interrupted him, "No, don't think so blindly. By the way, how did you know he wasn't back? Gu Rou, have you been looking for her? "
