Su Wen found herself at a crossroads, grappling with a difficult decision. If she confessed her truth, there was a risk of alienating Hengyang immediately. On the other hand, keeping silent would only delay the inevitable revelation, and keep them apart.
Overwhelmed, Su Wen shivered, tears welling up in her eyes. Attempting to downplay her turmoil, he whispered, “Don’t say anything. It’s nothing.”
Sensing her distress, Zhou Hengyang gently rea.s.sured her, “It’s okay. We’ll find a solution. All we need to do is bring down Sun Yunyun’s abnormally active brain cells. I’ve asked Hengguang to bring in experts from the capital, and they’ll be here by tomorrow.”
He couldn’t bear to part with her.
Even more so, he couldn’t bear to see her unsettled and in a dilemma.
Zhou Hengyang lovingly pinched Su Wen’s cheeks and rea.s.sured, “It’s okay.
Things will get better in the future. Sun Yunyun won’t be a problem.”
However, just as Su Wen mustered the courage to open up, Zhou Hengyang, sensing her unease, shifted the conversation abruptly. “Oh right, I’m heading to the Northwest. Liu Chun has gone missing. We’re leaving tonight, though we initially planned for tomorrow. The situation there is chaotic, and I’m worried about him.”
Concerned, Su Wen urged, “Have you contacted the police? What happened?” Zhou Hengyang, visibly worried, explained, “I don’t know the details yet, but he offended someone. It’s a risky situation.”
Zhou Hengyang was genuinely worried about Liu Chun. He had arranged for Liu Chun to explore new markets in the Northwest, and now that he was missing, Zhou Hengyang was determined to bring him back safely.
Amid her anxiety, Su Wen advised, “Be cautious, get help, and ensure your safety. Take extra money, too.” Su Wen was even more anxious than him. Not only was she worried about Liu Chun, but she also feared for Hengyang’s safety if he went there. However, she refrained from expressing these concerns directly.
She knew Hengyang had to go personally for Liu Chun’s safe return.
As Zhou Hengyang prepared to leave, Su Wen, worried for his safety, emphasized, “Bring more money. If they demand it, give it to them. Nothing is more important than your safety and Liu Chun’s.”
Zhou Hengyang, proud of his wife’s concern, agreed with her.
As they returned to the bedroom, Su Wen, still in turmoil, decided to let go of her earlier intentions to confess. Instead, she offered to help pack his luggage. The two returned to the bedroom, where Su Wen busily sorted his clothes and gathered the toiletries needed for the trip. Zhou Hengyang didn’t offer a.s.sistance; instead, he crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame, watching her intently.
Su Wen suggests, “Why not take someone with you? Hengguang or cousin Xiao
Xiao could a.s.sist.”
Xu Xiaoxiao’s combat skills place him in the top five within the book, guaranteeing safety when joining forces with him and Hengyang.
Despite the offer, Zhou Hengyang declined, citing his busy schedule and reluctance to involve Xiao Xiao, considering the previous incident..
