He never expected Ning Wan to leave, even to disappear without a trace at such a ti, no matter how many people he sent out, they could not find her whereabouts!
He now felt a bit of regret, had he known it would end up like this, he would have had soone watch her when he left last night!
He naturally knew that if Ning Wan was deliberately hiding from him, then no matter how he searched, he would never be able to find her!
At this thought, Xi Mohan’s face beca even more frosty, as if his eyes faintly reflected broken shards of ice!
Song Qiao’s expression changed, and she instantly realized what had felt off about Xi Mohan asking her where Ning Wan was from the very beginning!
"You an, you went to find Ning Wan yesterday?" She nearly robotically uttered this sentence, as Song Qiao felt a montary blankness in her mind and a chill slowly spreading from her feet to her whole body, contemplations of a certain possibility erged in her heart!
When the man heard Song Qiao’s question, his expression also changed slightly, but he still delivered his answer expressionlessly, "Yes!"
"Xi Mohan!" Song Qiao stood up abruptly, her gaze piercing as she looked directly at the man in front of her—calling out his na coldly, then continued, "Do you not know that Ning Wan’s least desired person to see in this lifeti is you? Don’t you know that?"
Seeing the man’s expression grow colder, Song Qiao sneered and said deliberately, every single word tinged with sarcasm, "eting you has been Ning Wan’s misfortune for three lifetis; if you have a shred of conscience, could you please not appear in her life again?"
"Song Qiao, this is between and her!" Xi Mohan coldly stared at her with a face void of emotion, yet his eyes betrayed a turbulent storm, and his tone was still devoid of any warmth, "You just need to tell where she is!"
"I don’t know where she is!"
"Mo Han, why are you here?" Just as Song Qiao finished speaking, Lu Jingchen had already settled the bill and directly ca over; seeing Xi Mohan and Song Qiao in the middle of so conversation with seemingly taut emotions, he couldn’t help but frown slightly, moving aside to Song Qiao’s side with low, puzzled, and bewildered tones, "Why have you co to the mall? Don’t you hate places like this?"
Since the ti Lu Jingchen told her that Ning Wan spent ti with his brother, Song Qiao had already guessed that Lu Jingchen’s brother was none other than Xi Mohan!
Xi Mohan gave Lu Jingchen a faint glance, his face still showing little expression, "I ca to ask Song Qiao about sothing!"
"Are you two close?" The corner of Lu Jingchen’s brows lifted as he directly wrapped his arm around Song Qiao’s waist, his voice neither cold nor hot as he uttered these words!
Song Qiao stiffened, her lips quivered without speaking; it was obvious that the question was not directed at her but was about Xi Mohan. Given that the question was related to her, not responding felt as awkward as responding. In the end, she chose to remain silent!
Xi Mohan slightly furrowed his brows, his deanor still not showing much change as he replied indifferently, "Just a question!"
Although he didn’t want to give up this excellent opportunity to find out Ning Wan’s whereabouts, as he saw it, Song Qiao had the best relationship with Ning Wan and probably only she knew where that girl was!
But now since Song Qiao was Lu Jingchen’s wife and at least considering Lu Jingchen as his brother, he found it inappropriate to make things difficult for her!
...
Even after getting back into the car, Song Qiao felt the chill in her body not only hadn’t dissipated but had increased instead!
Her mind was chaotic but quickly reached a conclusion!
Ning Wan had disappeared...
Given Xi Mohan’s influence in An City, it wasn’t possible for him to be unable to find Ning Wan unless she had vanished from everyone’s line of sight!
Lu Jingchen got into the driver’s seat, turned his head, and saw at so point her small, previously color-drained face was now filled with confusion and fear. He couldn’t help but frown, imdiately leaned over to help Song Qiao buckle her seatbelt, and then with one hand clenched her chin to make her look at him, his voice low and pleasant as he began to speak, "Qiaoqiao, don’t think too much, that’s the matter between Ning Wan and Xi Mohan, and you shouldn’t be involved!"
Upon hearing Lu Jingchen’s words, Song Qiao’s previously puzzled expression now regained clarity. Gazing at the handso face before her, it was as if his words echoed in her ears. She smiled, her gaze directly eting the man’s eyes, with a thin smile on her small palm-sized face, she rhetorically questioned, "What do you think? Shouldn’t I be involved in Wanwan’s affairs since we are so close? Or do you think that since Xi Mohan is your brother, whatever he does is right? In fact, you knew last night that Xi Mohan had gone to see Wanwan, didn’t you?"
Lu Jingchen’s hand on her chin involuntarily tightened, his handso face suddenly grim, a smile hanging on his face, but it looked sowhat dangerous, "Is that what you think of ? I did know last night that Mo Han had gone to see Ning Wan, but what does that matter? Qiaoqiao, aside from the fact that you and Ning Wan are just best friends, this is between her and Xi Mohan; no matter how much you want to be involved, it’s none of your business!"
As expected, upon hearing his words, Song Qiao’s complexion slightly changed!
Lu Jingchen, however, released her chin and promptly sat up straight to start the car, his voice continued coolly, "Instead of bothering yourself trying to find things to do, you might as well take care of your own matters first!"
The man’s words were clearly implied!
