Dongfang Yu smiled, pinching her nose. âI really like you like this.â
Hai Xiaotang was puzzled. Like what?
âLike a wife, Dongfang Yuâs wife.â
After saying that, Dongfang Yu left, leaving Hai Xiaotang sitting on the bed in a daze for quite some time.
Did her actions just now really seem like that of a wife?
Hai Xiaotang laughed at the thought of this. But thinking about the difficulties Dongfang Yu was facing, she couldnât laugh anymore.
She truly hoped they could get through these challenges soonâ¦
After Dongfang Yu left, Hai Xiaotang felt as if her heart had been taken with him.
She had no mood to do anything and stayed at home waiting for him to return.
By dinner time, Dongfang Yu hadnât returned. The night grew deep, and he was still away.
However, he called. Seeing that it was him, Hai Xiaotang quickly picked up the phone. âHello, Dongfang Yu.â
âYou havenât gone to bed?â The man on the other line asked in a deep voice.
Hai Xiaotang shook her head. âNot yet. When are you coming back?â
âIâm afraid I wonât be able to return tonight. The investigation here takes a long time. You should go to bed first, Iâll return tomorrow,â Dongfang Yu said.
Hai Xiaotang was surprised. âTheyâre investigating tonight too?â
âYeah. But donât worry, they havenât found anything yet.â
This was good news. Hai Xiaotang felt a bit more reassured.
âYou should take care to rest. By the way, have you eaten?â Hai Xiaotang was always concerned about his stomach condition and whether he had eaten was her primary concern.
âIâve eaten. Donât worry about me. Go to sleep early and donât worry, understand?â Dongfang Yu continued.
Hai Xiaotang laughed. âI understand. You take care of yourself too.â
âOkay.â Dongfang Yu smiled and then said something before hanging up.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He said, âWife, I miss you.â
Hai Xiaotang blushed, his sweet words seemed to linger in her ears.
In fact, she wanted to say, she missed him tooâ¦
They had only been apart for a short time, but she already missed him.
Carrying her longing for Dongfang Yu, Hai Xiaotang gradually drifted off to sleep, but her sleep was restless.
The next morning, she woke up early, and Dongfang Yu still hadnât returnedâ¦
After eating a random breakfast, Hai Xiaotang couldnât sit still anymore and decided to go to his company to see him. She didnât want to wait at home for news, she didnât want to worry without knowing anything.
When Hai Xiaotang arrived at Dongfang, she immediately noticed something was off about the atmosphere at the company.
The receptionist greeted her politely when she saw her, âMadam, what brings you here?â
âI came by to check if Dongfang Yu is here?â
The receptionist nodded. âThe CEO is upstairs. Some people came to inspect yesterday and they left just this morning.â
âThey already left?â Hai Xiaotang was surprised.
âYes, theyâve left, but will come again tomorrow. Itâs not clear what theyâre inspecting, they said they want to inspect every department.â The receptionist complained casually.
Hai Xiaotangâs mood turned heavy again.
Those people were just trying to torment Dongfang Yuâs company. Such a vigorous inspection would definitely cause chaos in the company, mistakes would occur, problems would arise.
And they would probably try to torment Dongfang Yu even moreâ¦
Hai Xiaotang was filled with resentment. Who exactly is trying to harm them from behind the scenes?!
Hai Xiaotang took the elevator to the top floor â from the secretary, she learned that Dongfang Yu was in a meeting. All of the Dongfang Family Shareholders were there, even Dongfang Yuâs parents had come.
