She went around the other parts of the stairs again, but she still did not see him. Su Jinyi was puzzled, and walked down the stairs.
"Madam, you're awake. Are you hungry?" Just as Su Jinyi came down from the stairs, the Na
y Lin came over.
Because of He Ruiting's instructions, she had deliberately waited here for him.
"Where did He Ruiting go? He's not in the study. " Su Jinyi asked.
"Mister has an emergency at the company and is out." The Na
y Lin replied.
"He went to the company?" Su Jinyi looked at the time, it was already 10 pm, "At this point, is she still in the company? Will his body be able to handle it? "
"Don't worry, mister. Before you left, you specifically told me to tell you not to worry." The Na
y Lin comforted her, afraid that she would think too much.
"Alright, I understand." Su Jinyi nodded and did not say anymore.
After Su Jinyi finished eating, she sat in the living room for a while, but He Ruiting still had not come back. At that time, when the clock pointed to 12 o'clock, Su Jinyi was a little worried, she hesitated for a bit, then called He Ruiting. On the phone, a mechanical female voice came out, telling Su Jinyi that her phone was turned off.
Su Jinyi called a few more times, but still turned off her phone.
"Madam, it's so late. Why don't you go and rest first?" Na
y Lin walked over and advised her to go back to her room to rest early.
"But, He Ruiting still hasn't come back and his phone is turned off, could something have happened?" Su Jinyi said worriedly.
"That won't happen. How could there be any problems with mister? He must be dealing with some matters. His phone is off. Maybe he's out of battery." The Na
y Lin comforted her.
"At this point, something must have happened." Su Jinyi was still very worried.
"Before you left, sir, you specifically told me to let you rest early."
Su Jinyi looked at the door and said to Na
y Lin: "You can go rest. I slept when I came back in the afternoon anyways and I'm not tired now. I'm a bit worried, let's wait for a while more."
Na
y Lin could not persuade her, so she could only let it go for now, but if Su Jinyi did not go to rest, Na
y Lin would not be able to rest.
"Then I'll wait with you." Na
y Lin saw that she could not persuade her and she himself could not let her guard down, hence she decided to accompany her.
"No need, I'll just wait by myself." Why would Su Jinyi let Na
y Lin wait with her?
"If Madam doesn't want to sleep, then I'll stay here with you." Na
y Lin said firmly.
Seeing how determined she was, Su Jinyi felt embarrassed. Under such circumstances, she could only return to her room.
She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what. Her mind was filled with worry that something would happen to He Ruiting.
Not knowing how long this continued, Su Jinyi finally fell asleep in the end.
On the morning of the second day, when Su Jinyi woke up, the first thing she did was to confirm whether He Ruiting had returned home. However, he did not return throughout the night. Plus, last time, this was the second time he hadn't come back for the whole night. She didn't know what important matter had happened at the company that kept him busy to this extent.
Su Jinyi cleaned up a bit, then went downstairs to prepare to eat breakfast. On the dining table, there was a newspaper, which was something Uncle Xu did everyday, even if He Ruiting was not at home, he still had this habit.
She walked to the dining table and sat down. Following He Ruiting's habit, she picked up the newspaper and started reading. It was good that she didn't read it, but seeing it, she was very surprised.
"He's's CEO is meeting with a mysterious woman in the middle of the night. Enter the Star Restaurant!"
This was the headline that Su Jinyi saw today. She carefully stared at the photo in the newspaper, unable to believe that the person in the photo was He Ruiting, but, although it was secretly taken at night, it was very clear, Su Jinyi was very sure, that it was He Ruiting herself.
Wasn't it because of the company's emergency that he rushed over to deal with it? Why did she go to a hotel with a woman? Furthermore, he was even hugging that woman. Because of the angle, Su Jinyi was unable to see her appearance clearly and did not know who she was.
But, why would He Ruiting lie to him?
At this time, Na
y Lin came over with breakfast. She placed it in front of Su Jinyi, and seeing that she was staring at the newspaper earnestly with a face that did not look very good, she curiously went over.
"Madam, this must be all written in the newspapers, don't take it seriously." When Na
y Lin saw the news, he became flustered, but her first reaction was to stabilize Su Jinyi's emotions.
"Didn't he go to the company yesterday?" Su Jinyi looked at Na
y Lin and asked.
"Eh ??" This time, the Na
y Lin didn't know how to reply. She stammered for a long time, unable to say anything.
Su Jinyi put the newspaper to the side and then quietly ate her breakfast. Na
y Lin watched from the side and carefully asked: "Madam, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Su Jinyi shook her head. How could she be alright?
"Don't think too much into it. This news is written randomly by the reporters. It can't be taken seriously." Na
y Lin felt that Su Jinyi was not as if nothing had happened to him.
"Na
y Lin, I'm really alright. Please let me calm down for a moment." Su Jinyi smiled at Na
y Lin and said.
"Alright, then I won't bother you anymore. If you need anything, just call me." Na
y Lin said worriedly.
Su Jinyi nodded and continued to eat her breakfast. Although she looked calm on the surface, her mind was a mess.
Her intuition told her that if she wanted to believe He Ruiting, since he was not such a person, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. However, when something like this happened, women were usually irrational. The person in the newspaper was him, and he was holding that woman in his arms with his own hands. His actions were so natural and gentle, and he treated that woman differently than when he treated her.
From the photo, Su Jinyi could clearly feel He Ruiting's nervousness towards the woman.
He cared a lot about the woman.
But why? Why did he marry a woman he cared so much about? Had everything he had done to her before been a lie? Was it all fake? And everything on Sunset Mountains was fake?
Su Jinyi didn't know, but her mind was in a mess. They had clearly only snapped their lover's lock yesterday, and they had even climbed the mountain together. But in the end, they discovered that it was all an illusion today, and Su Jinyi didn't want to believe it.
Should she question him? What was she supposed to ask? A wife in name? It sounds far-fetched.
Even if she asked him, would he answer her? What would he answer?
Thinking about it, Su Jinyi became a little afraid, afraid that he would find out the truth, afraid that he would tell her that this news was real.
