1177 I Want to Make You Stay 55 (1/2)
”When I went to his room on the ninth floor, Yu Caiwei's bodyguard who's staying in the same suite told me that he had left. I went inside the room and saw that his clothes were no longer inside,” Xiao Yue explained.
Fang Erlan sat on the bed in shock. Is he never going to show up again?
That's great.
But why do I still feel so flustered?
She whipped out her mobile phone to give him a call, which went through initially. However, he switched off his mobile phone right after.
He clearly didn't want to answer her calls.
Fang Erlan stood up and ran out of the room. At the sight of her behavior, Xiao Yue frantically yelled, ”Sis Erlan, where are you going?”
Fang Erlan sprinted all the way to the elevator landing. She stood outside the elevators and asked herself, Why am I running…
Once he's gone, there'll be no one around to compel me against my wishes.
That'd be wonderful.
She turned around and returned to her room. Noticing that she seemed to be troubled and frustrated, Xiao Yue began to wonder just what had happened.
”Sis Erlan…”
”…”
”Sis Erlan…”
Fang Erlan remained seated, as if she did not hear Xiao Yue at all. When Xiao Yue called her for the third time, she turned around and said to Xiao Yue, ”Maybe he's really gone this time.”
”I suppose so.”
”…”

An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan returned to S Nation after staying in M Nation for more than two weeks.
The situation in M Nation was handed over to the newly-appointed Branch CEO.
After all, the office tower would have to be reconstructed.
The Jin Corporation had incurred only a minor net loss due to the compensatory sum paid by the DK Organization.
As soon as they reached home, they were greeted with the sight of Xiao Chenyang swimming alone in the pool.
Jin Qingyan squatted beside the pool and said, ”That's strange. What are you doing here instead of B City?”
He placed his hands on the edge of the pool and thrust himself out of the water. He then sat by the edge and said, ”I won't be going back again.”
”Why? If you're not around, should we assign other bodyguards to Erlan?” An Xiaoning asked.
”Do as you deem fit.” He dipped his legs inside the pool and continued swinging them around in the water, causing the water to splash up.
An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan looked at each other, finding him to be acting out of the ordinary.
”You two go ahead and chat. I'll go inside to get some water,” said An Xiaoning, who then walked away and left the house to the two of them.
”Just what's going on?”
”She's marrying Yan Ge, her boyfriend.”
”Why don't you snatch her back?”
Xiao Chenyang looked at him and said, ”I don't want to. She's free to live the life that she wants. I've long gotten used to living alone anyway.”
Jin Qingyan could tell that he was trying to put on a brave front.
”Surely you can't be thinking of waiting for her to reincarnate again so you can make it in time.”
”Sadly, that's not what I'm thinking of.” He looked at Jin Qingyan and continued, ”Frankly speaking, I really envy you and Hua Jin.”
”Shall I take you out to look for some prostitutes tonight?”
Xiao Chenyang stared at him apprehensively and asked, ”You're taking me out for prostitution? Aren't you afraid that Hua Jin would find out?”
”I'll take her along.”
