Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Nanshen almost could not help but stand up to look for her. If Zhuang Ling had not stopped Ye Nanshen, Ye Nanshen would have kicked the wheelchair away and stood up.
Ye Nanshen’s men had searched all the nearby mountains, but Rong Qi was nowhere to be found. Ye Nanshen’s throat was hoa.r.s.e, and he clenched his fists tightly. His slightly red eyes were filled with guilt and anxiety.
‘It was all my fault. Why did I lose my temper at Rong Qi? I knew that she was not like anyone else and was simple-minded. If I had been more patient, she would have not gone missing. What if she encountered danger at night? There were hillside branches everywhere. How could she see at night? It was all my fault…’ Ye Nanshen thought.
“Master Shen, it’s getting dark. Let’s head back first. Perhaps someone had brought madam home when she walked out. If you don’t go back soon, the old master will be worried.” Zhuang Ling advised softly.
Ye Nanshen’s men had caused quite a commotion. If they were used by someone with ill intentions, who knew what trouble they would cause. If they could not find Rong Qi now, Ye Nanshen could arrange a small group to search slowly.
Ye Nanshen knew Zhuang Ling’s intention and did not refute him and let him push him back. However, the first thing Ye Nanshen said when he returned home was, “Transfer Xu Yi back.”
Xu Yi, who was far away in Yavaga, was so touched that he almost cried. He immediately bought the earliest flight back the next day.
At the same time, the people in the Ye family’s mansion also knew that Rong Qi had gone missing. Mr. Zhong stood at the door and waited for Ye Nanshen.
“Master Shen, how is it? Have you found madam?” asked Mr. Zhong.
Ye Nanshen shook his head, his expression was cold.
Mr. Zhong felt bad in his heart. He had already heard that Rong Qi was chased away by Ye Nanshen because of Fan Hui. If something really happened to Rong Qi, be it Mr. Zhong or Fan Hui, they would blame themselves.
However, Old Mr. Ye’s cold snort came from the living room, “Isn’t she just a r.e.t.a.r.d? Look at you! It was a good thing that she was lost, and it saved me the trouble of sending her back to the Rong family. Make the preparation. I’ll get the Rong family to send Rong Feiyu over.”
At the mention of Rong Feiyu, Ye Nanshen felt disgusted. Not wanting to speak, he turned around and left without even eating dinner. Old Mr. Ye was so angry that he used his walking stick to stop Ye Nanshen by stomping it hard on the floor.
Mr. Zhong sent Ye Nanshen back to his room. On the way, he told Ye Nanshen, “Madam saw that you were in a bad mood and went back to your room, so she specially prepared some desserts for you. She even said, ‘Da Da is in a bad mood, he’ll feel better after eating some desserts,”‘ Mr. Zhong imitated Rong Qi’s tone.
The more Mr. Zhong spoke, the more self-reproach Ye Nanshen had on his face and the more upset he felt.
‘It turned out that she was trying to cheer me up, but not only did I chase her out, I even asked someone to send her back and cause her to go missing.’ Ye Nanshen thought.
When Ye Nanshen thought of Rong Qi nibbling on an apple in his room and asking him if he wanted to eat it, he felt as if his heart was being p.r.i.c.ked by needles.
“Master Shen, the old master is just saying it out of anger. Don’t take it to heart. Madam was missing from this mansion. I will continue to send people to look for her. You’ve been busy all day today, so rest early,” said Mr. Zhong.
Ye Nanshen nodded faintly and returned to his room. He looked at Rabbity on the bed that Rong Qi had left behind, and his gaze was complicated.
Ye Nanshen got up and picked up Rabbity. The doll still had Rong Qi’s scent on it, and it was a faint fragrance. There were also a few plates of exquisite snacks on the bedside table beside him. There were beautiful strawberries on top of the cream.
Rong Qi had prepared the desserts for Ye Nanshen. However, not only did he not appreciate it, he even told her to get lost.
Ye Nanshen’s eyes dimmed as he looked at the dark sky outside the window. He was even more worried about Rong Qi.
Suddenly, Ye Nanshen gritted his teeth and left the room alone without alerting anyone..
