When Tian Danni woke up, she saw Su Minghan standing by the window. His back looked so desolate, as if he had lost something.
"What are you doing here?"
He turned around and walked towards her. "Do you feel better?"
"I'm asking you a question. What are you doing here?"
The dissatisfaction in Tian Danni's heart was like a blocked water - channel. There was no gap for it to escape, making her lungs ache from the pent - up feeling.
"The nurse said you fainted."
Su Minghan's face was full of exhaustion, and his eyes were bloodshot.
It seemed as if he hadn't had a good night's sleep for days.
"Go take care of Xiao Shujing. I'm fine."
"About what happened just now..."
Before he could finish, she snatched the topic first.
"Yes, I did it. I'm so vicious that I can't stand to see her happy. Is that okay? Isn't that what you want to know?"
Su Minghan was so irritated that his head seemed to double in size.
"I'm not here to argue about who is right or wrong. I just simply want to see how you are. If it's not serious, I'll go back to the company. Recently..." He hesitated for a few seconds. "I won't come to see you again. Otherwise, Shujing will be unhappy."
Tian Danni felt as if she had been punched in the heart. The indented part hadn't recovered yet, and the pain had spread to her limbs, making them numb.
"Yeah, I can understand."
"If you want to blame someone, blame me. I didn't keep a proper distance."
Su Minghan lowered his head, looking like a child who had done something wrong.
She also had her share of responsibility for how things had turned out.
If she had expressed her feelings earlier and opened her long - sealed heart to him earlier, would the result have been different?
"I want to rest. Please leave."
Every time Tian Danni took a breath, she felt like she was suffocating.
If he stayed here any longer, she really would break down.
Seeing her with her eyes closed, not wanting to talk anymore, Su Minghan gently picked up his coat from the back of the sofa, closed the door, and left.
This feeling of being as if choked by a rope made every nerve in his body tense, and his nose even felt a bit sour.
Just think of it as losing a close friend!
He comforted himself in his heart.
All good things must come to an end. Let's part on good terms.
As soon as Su Minghan came out of the hospital lobby, he ran into Bo Jingyu, who was rushing over. Bo Jingyu was gasping for breath, afraid of missing something.
"Is she still in the ward?"
"She should be. I didn't go to check this morning. There's something I think I should tell you. That woman..."
Bo Jingyu didn't have the time to wait for him to finish. He immediately rushed in without even looking back.
When he reached the ward, there were only two nurses changing the bedding.
"Where is the patient here?" he asked, out of breath.
"She checked out this morning."
"Where did she go?"
"We're not sure about that..."
Bo Jingyu was frantically looking for the phone number on his phone. He dialed it several times, but no one answered.
Shen Ximan! Where have you gone!
If Grandpa's "death" was just a play, wouldn't she be shouldering everything again? Wouldn't she be fighting alone again?
Just thinking about it made his heart ache.
"She actually checked out!" Su Minghan followed him over, looking inside the ward and then at his frowning and stinky - faced expression.
Bo Jingyu looked at him in confusion. "How did you know she would check out?"
"I was just about to tell you this. You didn't let me finish!"
The two of them went to the hospital courtyard to sort things out one by one.
"Who knows about this so far?"
Su Minghan shook his head. "I didn't hear very clearly that day, but Xue Xiaoqi said she heard it from Qian Li."
Bo Jingyu didn't hear Qian Li mention it in the hospital this morning, but it wasn't hard to guess why he did this. It must have been his father's order for him not to tell anyone.
"Please do me a favor. Help me find her."
This was the first time he had ever actively asked for someone's help.
Su Minghan was a bit surprised.
Bo Jingyu had his men everywhere in Yancheng. It should be a piece of cake for him to find someone. For him to be so helpless, it seemed that Shen Ximan had really become a gap in his heart.
They clearly loved each other, but they had to flee.
They clearly didn't want to be involved with each other, but the hatred was brewing deeper and deeper.
"Okay, I'll help you."
Two days passed, and they still hadn't found any trace of Shen Ximan.
It was as if she had vanished from the face of the earth.
There were no signs of her ever staying in Xijiao Sea or Longjing Apartment.
Yan Kun signed the contract in his hand and professionally smiled as he handed it to Su Minghan.
"I hope the autumn new products will achieve good results tomorrow."
"Of course. Your company has been planning this for so long. We will surely go all out. I hope our cooperation can continue."
He politely shook hands with Yan Kun.
Seeing that Yan Kun was about to leave, he quickly called out to him.
"Representative Yan, there's something I'd like to consult you about."
"Please go ahead, President Su."
"Why haven't I seen President Wen these days?"
Yan Kun immediately understood his intention and replied with a smile, "Ahaorui is currently expanding its business step by step. As the leader of the company, President Wen naturally can't just focus on the development of Yancheng."
Seeing that he was beating around the bush and not getting to the point, Su Minghan was a bit anxious. "What about President Xue? I haven't seen her for a long time either."
"President Xue is an able assistant to President Wen. Naturally, she has to follow. Do you... have any other work - related questions?"
"Yes! How could I not?"
He quickly walked to his desk and took out something from the drawer.
"This is next month's artist concert, which will be held in Lanshan. I hope you can forward this to President Wen and ask her to attend."
Yan Kun glanced at it and slowly took it.
"I still have to ask for President Wen's opinion on whether she can attend. Please don't get your hopes up too high, President Su."
After saying that, he pulled open the glass door and left on his own.
Su Minghan's smiling face gradually faded, and he started to think intently.
It seemed that finding Shen Ximan was not going to be easy.
Knock, knock. The door was knocked.
He immediately looked serious. "Come in."
Xiao Shujing walked in, smiling, wearing pink high - heels.
"Are you busy?"
"Just finished."
Su Minghan picked up the cigarette case on the table, lit a cigarette, and took a puff.
"It stinks. Don't smoke anymore."
She quickly snatched the cigarette from his hand and snuffed it out in the ashtray.
"Aren't you supposed to be preparing your graduation thesis?" Su Minghan was a bit annoyed.
He had been smoking because he was worried.
Xiao Shujing's interruption made him even more worried.
She walked around the table, plopped down on his lap, put her arms around his neck, and blinked her charming eyes. "I've already finished writing it, and my tutor has approved it. Your girlfriend is amazing, isn't she?"
"… Get off first. It's a bit hot."
For some reason, Su Minghan suddenly felt resistant.
