This room had never been so desolate.
Yan Xixi sat cross-legged on the carpet, as if ti had stopped.
Her phone ran out of battery, so she charged it, only for it to run out again. From morning till night, she kept calling. However, the response was always the sa: ’The subscriber you have dialed is powered off.’
Never before had she felt like such a cliché: a woman suspecting her husband of infidelity. Her gaze was empty, her nerves completely shattered.
After a while, an idea suddenly struck her. Ask Liu Daqing!
But I don’t have Liu Daqing’s number. I’ve never t Empress Dowager Liu alone, nor have I ever contacted him by phone. As for Wan Dongi, we’ve never contacted each other privately. And other relatives and friends? I’ve never even t them.
A chill ran down her spine.
Only then did I realize—the Wan family mbers all contacted individually. It was easy for them to find , a piece of cake. But for to find them? That was as hard as climbing to the sky. How terrifying.
Besides, they were abroad. Where did they live? What area? I had no idea. I couldn’t even go looking for them if I wanted to. I had no way.
Yet, she refused to give up, frantically sending ssages like a madwoman.
"Big Foot, where are you?"
"Big Foot, aren’t you coming back?"
"Big Foot, where on earth are you? At least give a call. Why is your phone off?"
"I’m scared to death. Please respond. I beg you... I’m worried sothing will happen to you... Even if you’re out having fun, or with another woman, I won’t care... My only worry is your safety... Please, send a ssage..."
Later, her panic intensified. "Wan Donglin, did you run away?"
"Where the hell did you run off to??? Are you never coming back?"
"Hey, I’m warning you, if you don’t respond, I’ll block you and never talk to you again..."
"Damn Big Foot, where are you? If you don’t answer your phone, I’m not letting you co ho. I absolutely won’t open the door for you. I’ve bolted it from the inside..."
"Big Foot, have you disappeared? If you pull this vanishing act again, I’ll break up with you! I’m done with this!..."
Later, she pleaded desperately, "Oh God, please answer , I’m so worried about you... I’m just worried, I absolutely won’t bla you..."
"Big Foot, did sothing happen to you? Please tell , I won’t bla you... Tell , and I can help you figure things out..."
"Bro, call back, please! I’m so worried..."
One mont she was terribly worried, the next enraged, then overco with sadness. She wavered between these emotions, the tornt pushing her to the brink of collapse.
She ran outside again.
But where could I go to find him?
I’ve searched his place, and mine. No one.
If he wasn’t answering his phone, searching was useless.
Until the sky once again turned pitch black.
She hadn’t eaten anything all day. When thirsty, she drank a little water, but she didn’t feel hungry at all. Only fear remained. She lay on the carpet, utterly silent.
There was a knock at the door.
The knocking went on for quite so ti.
She sprang up, ecstatic.
Throwing open the door, she laughed, "Big Foot..."
But her laughter died, the imnse joy instantly freezing within her. Standing in the doorway, her face etched with anxiety, was Xu Xiaoya. "Xixi, your line was constantly busy. I was worried, so I ca to check on you..."
