Jin Meiqi had just hung up the phone when Chu Sihao entered the room.
“Meiqi, is my phone charged yet?”
In fact, Chu Sihao had left his phone charging here and had just gone to the restroom, where he happened to overhear Jin Meiqi talking on the phone…
“Oh, yes, yes!
Someone just called…”
Jin Meiqi had intended to delete the call log, but upon careful consideration, she realized that the telecommunications operator could still retrieve the call list, and such an act might raise Chu Sihao’s suspicions.
So she decided not to deceive him.
“Meiqi, how could you answer my phone without permission?” Chu Sihao’s face turned very ugly.
“Sorry, my phone was charging too, and I got mixed up; I thought it was mine.
But it’s no big deal; the call was a wrong number.
You can check the number if you don’t believe me.”
Chu Sihao glanced at it and saw the international code was indeed that of Country M.
He had no friends there, so it seemed to be a genuine mistake.
He took back his phone.
“Hmm, but I do not like others answering my phone without asking.
I hope this does not happen again.”
“No, it won’t happen again!
By the way, didn’t you say earlier that you were waiting for someone, Brother Sihao?”
It was rare for both Father Chu and Mother Chu to be at home.
Jin Meiqi had brought a pile of gifts early in the morning to visit Father Chu and Mother Chu, actually hoping to get closer to Chu Sihao.
“Waiting…
Have you seen Yanyan?” Chu Sihao asked.
Since Xia Yanxin and her mother were living with the Jin Family, Jin Meiqi should be well-informed.
They had agreed to meet in the morning, but now it was nearly noon, and she was nowhere to be seen, with her phone turned off.
He wondered what she was doing.
“Yes!
She even borrowed a dress from me!
She said she had a date today with a classmate from high school, a rich second-generation boy.
She said she’s had a crush on him for a long time and mentioned she would stay out overnight, so she might not come back…” Jin Meiqi narrated dramatically, and Chu Sihao’s face became extraordinarily dark.
At that moment, on the other end of the phone, Xia Yanxin, holding the receiver, could not react for a long time, feeling so desolate that she even forgot about the danger she was in.
Did Brother Sihao truly not want her anymore?
No, that couldn’t be.
Feeling indignant, she dialed the number again, but this time she could not get through, no matter what number she tried…
“Miss!
The butler cut off the line; you can’t make calls anymore.”
A middle-aged woman, dressed in a dark blue maid’s outfit, came in carrying a tray and walked toward Xia Yanxin with a look of concern.
“Auntie, where is this place?”
“Miss, you can call me Aunt Zhou!
This is Mandara Manor…”
On the tray were a glass of milk and a slice of ham sandwich.
Aunt Zhou presented the milk and sandwich to Xia Yanxin, “Have something to eat!”
“Mandara Manor?” Xia Yanxin pondered for a moment, then shook her head, “Aunt Zhou, no matter where this is, can you let me out, please?”
“That’s impossible!
Miss, without the master’s orders, nobody can escape from here.
You might as well give up on that idea!”
“But I was kidnapped here, really, Aunt Zhou, can you call the police for me?”
Seeing Aunt Zhou’s kind face, Xia Yanxin could only pin her last hope on her.
Aunt Zhou’s face filled with horror as she shook her head desperately, “Miss, I think you just arrived and don’t know this place well.
Normally, we need a leave pass to get through the security.
Let alone a new face like you.
Alas, I don’t understand why you were brought here, but I’d advise you to obediently follow the master’s instructions, otherwise…
sigh!”
Aunt Zhou didn’t finish her sentence, only shook her head sadly. Visit novelping.com for the full chapter.
Xia Yanxin felt so sad she wanted to cry.
Just yesterday, she was at the peak of happiness, thinking her life would change forever, believing she would smoothly become Chu Sihao’s girlfriend.
But overnight, everything had changed.
She was not only kidnapped, but she also lost the man she loved most.
All because of that damnable Long Yutian.
“Thank you, Aunt Zhou.
You can take it; I can’t eat!”
“Ah, you headstrong young girl!
If you don’t eat well, it will be even harder to survive here!”
“If you let me go, I’ll eat…”
“That’s impossible, miss!
Ah!” Aunt Zhou left helplessly with the tray.
Xia Yanxin sat silently against the wall, her spirits sinking.
She touched the heart-shaped bullet pendant around her neck…
Then her mind drifted back to the wonderful times she had spent with Chu Sihao…
No, Brother Sihao wasn’t that kind of person.
If he were to change his mind, he wouldn’t wait until he was about to take her to meet his parents…
With this thought, a new hope sprang up in her heart.
She slowly stood up and began searching the room, looking for anything that could be useful, and her mind raced with plans.
After a while, she came up with a good idea and started knocking on the door.
“Aunt Zhou, I’m hungry.
I want something to eat!”
