Qin Xu waited in the dining hall until Ling Chen reached 12 o'clock, but Ye Anne still did not come.
Her phone was turned off, and she did not reply Qin Xu with any words during this period of time …
Qin Xu sat facing the entrance of the dining hall, his entire being giving off a cold aura like a sculpture.
The surrounding restaurant staff looked at him, then at the romantic and warm restaurant that was arranged, they could not help but feel sympathy for Qin Xu. It turned out that even the rich and powerful CEO of a huge family would meticulously set up the wedding ceremony, but did not have the time to propose to his client …
At the same time, they couldn't help but ask curiously in their hearts. They didn't know who the person Qin Xu wanted to marry today, even someone like Qin Xu, who had money and power, and whose face didn't lose to a male model would be rejected …
After Ling Chen reached 12 o'clock, it was time for the restaurant to close for the night.
The restaurant manager had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, he warned Qin Xu softly: "Mr. Qin, it's getting late, you see …"
"I know."
Without waiting for the manager to finish speaking, Qin Xu interrupted him and said: "I'll be going now."
With that, Qin Xu got up from the seat that he had sat in for the entire night, took his jacket, and left the dining hall without even looking back.
His leaving figure was quite cool and unrestrained, but the restaurant manager could still see a hint of loneliness and sadness from his back.
Qin Xu was indeed a little hurt.
Anyone who was proposed to on the day of the marriage proposal would feel uncomfortable after seeing a pigeon appear on the other side of the marriage proposal. Furthermore, he had always thought that Ye Anne had put down the unhappiness between the two of them and already forgiven and accepted him. He had even fallen in love with her again, like how he had loved her …
However, the reality before his eyes had given him a resounding slap!
When Qin Xu walked to his own car, he opened the car door, but was not in a rush to get into the driver's seat. Instead, he took out a cigarette from the concealed compartment beside the driver's seat and stood outside the car while lighting it up, slowly smoking.
Qin Xu was not addicted to cigarettes, but he would occasionally smoke one or two.
The first time he smoked was five years ago, when Ye Anne secretly left Z City. At that time, he smoked for a while, but one time he got pneumonia, so he stopped smoking. However, when he found out that Ye Anne had betrayed him and used him to steal the trade secret of Qin’s, he inhaled once more. Until he found out that Ye Zixing was actually his and Ye Anne's son, he was afraid that he would give her child a bad example.
But now, at this very moment, he couldn't help but take another drag …
When the smoke in his hand gradually ran out, Qin Xu stood outside the carriage and blew at the cold wind. When the smoke had died down, he got in.
He took out his phone from his pocket, frowned and looked at it again, then quickly decided to call her again when Ye Anne switched on his phone tomorrow.
Although Ye Anne rejected him today, there was never a single word in his dictionary that said "surrender" or "give up", especially when it involved Ye Anne.
He had experienced so much with Ye Anne, and had a child star, he should not miss out on Ye Anne just because of a small rejection …
Just now, when the cold wind blew outside the carriage, Qin Xu had more or less calmed down.
He carefully thought back to Ye Anne's usual behavior. Even if she still resented him, her words and actions didn't seem to dislike him at all …
If she rejected him today, it might just be because the time for him to propose had not come, so he had to wait patiently — he was confident that he would wait until the day she promised him …
After he thought through all of these, Qin Xu's mood suddenly became clear, and the disappointment in his heart gradually dispersed.
He was about to start the car when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Qin Xu took his phone and realized that it was actually Mrs. Ye.
Call him at this time...
Qin Xu was puzzled as he picked it up.
He was about to ask the Mrs. Ye if something had happened to him, but before he could say anything, she heard the Mrs. Ye's voice anxiously coming from the other side of the phone.
The Mrs. Ye said: "Qin Xu, is Anne with you right now? Her phone is always off. Can you ask her when she'll be home tonight? "
Her voice sounded urgent and worried.
Hearing that Ye Anne was not at home, Qin Xu's heart thumped loudly, he had a bad premonition.
He frowned and replied, "She's not with me right now. I was supposed to have dinner with her tonight, but she didn't show up, and I couldn't get through to her on the phone. "
The more Qin Xu spoke, the heavier his heart became: Ye Anne is not at home, and has also not come to attend the meeting, could something have happened?
After hearing what Qin Xu had said, the Mrs. Ye clearly thought of this episode as well. He immediately choked with sobs and said, "How could it be like this? But in the afternoon, she sent a text message saying that she was taking her daughter to find you … But if she didn't see you, where could she go now that it's so late? should not... Did something happen? "
Qin Xu was currently as worried as the Mrs. Ye, but he still forced himself to calm down and asked the Mrs. Ye, "Auntie, don't be anxious, tell me in detail about Anne's situation when she left home."
He wanted to see if he could find any clues.
The Mrs. Ye on the other side of the phone was panicking, but upon hearing Qin Xu's words, she knew that her anxiousness would not solve the problem. Thus, she calmed down a little, and tried to brief Qin Xu on the whole situation.
It turned out that when Ye Anne and Mrs. Ye returned home from the hospital, it was already noon. In order to celebrate Ye Anne's recovery from the hospital, the family had a sumptuous lunch together.
However, after eating lunch, Ye Anne sat on the sofa and became absent-minded.
Mrs. Ye thought that she was sick somewhere, but when she asked, she found out that she was actually dating Qin Xu at night.
Mrs. Ye knew her daughter's personality very well. If it was an ordinary date, she wouldn't be so nervous and absent-minded as she was today.
With such an expectant and panicking look on Ye Anne's face, the experienced Mrs. Ye could guess that today's date was of great importance to Qin Xu and Ye Anne. It was possible that Qin Xu had decided to propose marriage today, but Ye Anne had already cleverly guessed it …
Mrs. Ye was quite happy to see the two of them getting married, so she only comforted Ye Anne a little before leaving with a smile.
On the other hand, when Ye Zixing heard that Ye Anne was going to eat dinner with Qin Xu, he clamored to come along as well. Ye Anne found an excuse to reject him, but she was afraid that he would be hurt, so she decided to take him to the Accessory Department Store in the afternoon.
Seeing that Ye Anne's body had more or less recovered and the nearby shopping mall was not too far away, the Mr. Ye did not stop them, and encouraged them to relax.
But who would have known, that after Ye Anne left with her star, she still hadn't come back in the evening. Mrs. Ye was worried that Ye Anne would send Zi Xing back too late and delay her date with Qin Xu, so she called Ye Anne to remind him.
But who knew that after the phone rang twice, it was suddenly interrupted by the person on the other side, but, a message was quickly sent by Ye Anne.
Ye Anne said in the text that she had already brought her daughter star to meet Qin Xu.
Although Mrs. Ye was a little puzzled after reading the message, why did Ye Anne agree to bring Big Star along for a date so early in the afternoon? Why did she agree to it so quickly?
Mrs. Ye was a little worried, but since the person had already left, Mrs. Ye did not say anymore, and only replied her with a short message, saying that she would understand, and that she should pay more attention to her safety.
But who knew that after sending that message, Mrs. Ye would no longer be able to contact Ye Anne.
Originally, when she saw that it was already early in the morning, she was worried and dialed Ye Anne's number. She wanted to ask when she would return home today, but this time, Ye Anne's phone was actually off.
The Mrs. Ye called her number a few times but always called to tell her that her phone was turned off. She immediately became anxious and hurried to call Qin Xu.
After the two of them got angry over the phone, they realised that after Ye Anne left the shopping mall, she had not gone to meet her at all …
Listening to Mrs. Ye's description, Ye Anne had originally come to break the appointment, which meant, Ye Anne and Ye Zixing had suddenly gone missing in the middle of the night, right before he and Zi Xing left home for the mall, and the date had been set (7 o'clock).
After the Mrs. Ye had explained everything, she said vexedly: "I received Anne's text message at around 5: 30 PM … … Maybe something had already happened to her at that time. It's my fault, I should have been more careful! "
"No, this is my responsibility." Qin Xu also blamed himself, "We agreed to meet at 7 in the afternoon, and when the time was over she didn't come, so we couldn't reach his. I should call you again to understand the situation."
"Alright, now is not the time to be blaming yourself. The most important thing is to find Anne!" On the other end of the phone, Mr. Ye's anxious voice came out, interrupting Qin Xu and the others in their self-repentance.
"Uncle is right." Qin Xu paused for a moment, and then quickly calmed down, agreeing with his.
He thought for a while and said, "Auntie, you and uncle should call the police first. You should call the police to check the whole mall's surveillance and report the details of Anne's disappearance to the police.
"I'll think of something else as well. If there's any news, we can call each other."
Mr. Ye couldn't think of any better ideas at the moment, so he listened to Qin Xu's suggestion and quickly hung up the phone, then went to report to the police.
When Qin Xu ended his call with Mrs. Ye, he fiercely punched the steering wheel.
Ye Anne and Ye Zixing had gone missing at the same time, and the mother and son duo might still be suffering at the same time. But not long ago, he was blaming Ye Anne for not coming to attend the appointment … Be it as a boyfriend or as a father, he was too weak!
If anything really happened to Ye Anne and Zi Xing, he would never be able to forgive herself for her negligence tonight …
