Are they going into a cold war now?
Min Yu felt extremely vexed and fretful over this matter.
“Boss, you’re being too petty here. It’s only reasonable for the young madam to get angry.”
A stabbing, icy glare was sent in his direction right away. His boss stared fixedly at him like a ferocious beast.
“Come again?”
The two words, devoid of warmth, made him swallow down his indignation for his young madam as he tearfully thought, The young madam is my boss’s first love. Never mind that he doesn’t know how to coax women; he doesn’t even have the heart to learn the know-how humbly. That’s no good at all!
“Tell me how I should cajole her, then,” unhurriedly Mu Yazhe asked. “She’s seething with rage right now. Every word she spouted was as sharp and aggressive as a knife.”
“Isn’t that because you didn’t handle things properly? You can’t blame anyone for that, boss.”
The man appeared even frostier now.
Thus, the assistant obediently zipped his mouth and blinked his eyes at him to express his innocence.
“Are you giving me a lecture now?”
“N-No… I wouldn’t dare to do so.”
“That’s rich coming from a longtime bachelor.”
Looking rather envious and pitiful, Min Yu lamented, “If I could find my other half, I’d definitely treat her like a piece of treasure and never talk back at her.”
“…”
His superior shut his eyes, rested his head against the headrest, and sighed. “I’m just feeling helpless; I don’t know what I should do with her.”
“Gently coax, cajole, and hug her as you would with a child.”
His phone rang just then.
Mumbling an apology to the man, he picked up the call and heard a frantic voice coming from the other end.
“Song Enya has gone missing!”
“What?”
His pitch rose promptly as he asked in disbelief, “What’s going on?!”
The caller reported, “She isn’t at the hospital. In fact, she’s been missing since last night. Her family members, too, don’t know her whereabouts and are all racked with worries. We’re still trying to locate her, but there’s no news of her presently.”
“How’s that possible? Where could she have gone?”
“I have no idea.”
“Keep the search going until she’s found.”
“Understood.”
Having seemingly heard the word ‘missing’ from the phone conversation, an apprehensive Mu Yazhe clarified his doubt with his assistant as soon as the latter ended the call. “What is missing?”
“I’ve just received news that your niece has disappeared from the hospital. The Songs are currently looking for her anxiously.”
“She’s gone missing?”
A deep frown and an icy look descended on his forehead
“Yes.” Min Yu continued speaking. “Although we don’t have conclusive evidence, I suspect that she has something to do with that matter regarding Mu Wanrou. I’ve already sent someone to investigate this issue with the asylum. We might be able to find a clue there.”
The man became increasingly certain that his niece’s abrupt disappearance was because she was guilty of something or had some other unspeakable reasons.
After all, no one would just vanish without a good cause, and clues were bound to surface sooner or later.
He then ordered his assistant, “Book plane tickets to return to the capital.”
“W-What about the… young madam?”
“Send someone to keep guard of her.”
“Understood.”
The assistant immediately tasked someone to book them air tickets as the vehicle rode off into the distance.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhou could not help feeling momentarily fretful when he received news of his boss booking air tickets to return to the capital.
His charge was all the more disappointed in the man when she found out that he had, yet again, left without a word. Her mood plummeted even further into the pits.
Yun Shishi, however, was shocked by what her manager had told her next.
“Song Enya has gone missing.”
