Chapter 149 Ugly Duckling Substitute vs. A Ruthless and Ruthless CEO (72)
Qin Shen glanced around the living room; no one was there.
He went straight upstairs without even changing his shoes. He opened the bedroom door, but no one was there. He silently opened the wardrobe; half the clothes were missing.
The persistent man wandered around the villa but didn't see He Suining.
He then returned to the living room, slumped onto the sofa, and made a video call to He Suining, which was not a simple phone call.
He Suining had just finished eating.
I was happily petting my cat on the balcony.
An ordinary little stray cat was lying on her balcony. This cat didn't belong to her; it had run up from outside, probably attracted by the smell of food.
She mashed up some food, rinsed off the taste with water, and fed it to the animal.
While eating, I secretly stuck out a finger and touched its little head.
My mood has improved.
hum.
Her phone, which was in the pocket in front of her abdomen, vibrated twice, causing her belly to tremble.
She got up and took out her phone from the front of her overalls to take a look.
Upon seeing the name, he smiled, raised an eyebrow, cleared his throat, and calmly answered the phone as if nothing had happened.
Qin Shen originally thought she wouldn't answer.
Since he's already gone so far as to run away from home, not blocking him is already giving him face.
result.
He found that he could never predict He Suining's thought process. Not only did she not block him, she also quickly accepted his video call.
That calm and composed demeanor.
Qin Shen's anger flared up—he would rather she throw a tantrum, yell at him, bite him, smash things, or yell at him, but her current state made him feel like he was nothing in He Suining's heart.
He was so angry he was about to spontaneously combust, while she was having a great time.
He Suining in the video seems to be a little younger than when he was there, wearing pink overalls and with her hair in two round buns.
He Suining casually found a recliner and sat down.
Only then did he carefully observe Qin Shen.
It was clear he wasn't doing well; his eyes were red, and the way he stared at her through the screen was like a dragon guarding its glittering treasure in a cave, except that the treasure had become sentient and its long legs had run away.
After watching her video, Qin Shen observed the surrounding environment within the limited footage she provided.
It's such a small area, you definitely can't tell where it is.
This realization made him even more irritable.
He leaned back, seemingly languidly resting on the sofa, and said, "He Suining, are you putting on a show of running away from home for me?"
He Suining blinked innocently.
His expressionless face when questioned could put a lot of pressure on others.
But she didn't. "I went back to my hometown."
She picked up her phone and showed it around, saying, "Let me show you where I used to live. What do you think? Pretty good, right?"
He Suining did not give him a direct answer.
However, Qin Shen was relieved to find out that she had returned to her hometown; as long as she could be found, that was all that mattered.
sometimes.
Qin Shen discovered that he was quite easy to coax. No, it was more that he could easily coax himself when he was with her.
Is this situation a bit off?
He pursed his thin lips, his dark pupils unfathomable, like a bottomless abyss. "When will you be back?"
He Suining shook her head.
The two dumplings swayed slightly with her movements. "I'm not sure. Anyway, I haven't had much to do lately. The competition is over, and I'm tired and want to rest for a while. I probably won't be able to come back for the time being."
Places that He Suining cannot see.
Qin Shen lowered his arm from his chest, holding his phone in one hand and clenching his fist in the other.
He always felt that He Suining was trying to anger him, but he had no proof.
"Niu Niu, do you want some barbecue tonight? There's a new place that just opened downstairs..." Suddenly, half of a woman's figure appeared on the screen, speaking to her in dialect. Qin Shen couldn't quite understand it, but she felt that her tone was very kind and loving.
It's a bit like how his grandmother treated him.
Since it's his hometown, it must be He Suining's mother, his mother-in-law.
Qin Shen unconsciously straightened his back, no longer sitting as languidly as before.
“You’re with your friends…” Liu Chunxia bent down and glanced at the person on the screen.
I was stunned by the man's handsome face for two seconds, then suddenly I recognized him.
After all, a photo was posted when my daughter got married.
Liu Chunxia liked handsome men and was initially quite satisfied, but as time went on, she realized she had never even met her son-in-law and felt he wasn't very attentive to her daughter.
What's the use of just having a pretty face? She doesn't like it.
"Why are you making that call?" Liu Chunxia's attitude suddenly turned cold, but it wasn't directed at He Suining. "Hang up the phone and help Mom pick some vegetables."
He Suining chuckled.
Mrs. He is quite interesting. She deliberately used broken Mandarin, which, although not very pleasant to listen to, Qin Shen was sure he could understand it.
In addition, his tone was unpleasant.
How could someone as perceptive and intelligent as Qin Shen not notice?
"Okay, Mom, I'm coming right away."
Liu Chunxia snorted, got up and walked out, urging as she went, "Come on, what are you talking about? What's there to talk about?"
"..."
If Qin Shen couldn't see it, then he'd have wasted all that time as the president of Emperor Star Entertainment.
He Suining waved her hand and said, "Bye-bye."
"Don't hang up."
She hung up immediately after I finished speaking.
Qin Shen's hand, gripping the phone so tightly that the veins bulged, remained so for a while.
A loud bang came from the living room, the sound of something hitting the floor and shattering into pieces.
a few days later.
He Suining has not returned.
Ever since Qin Shen took the initiative to call her that day and was hung up on.
I felt a lump in my throat and didn't call her.
What's most infuriating is that this woman actually never called him even once.
He was thinking.
As long as she calls, he takes pity on her and doesn't bother to argue.
Humph.
Bad woman.
Bad woman!
three days later.
Qin Shen went to work as usual.
Recently, there has been a lot of anxiety in the company, especially among those who work close to President Qin Shen's office, who are working with great fear.
The reason.
Of course, it seems the big boss has reverted to his old personality and temper. Anyone who hasn't done their job well for several days, regardless of gender, age, or whether they've worked at the company for many years and are old enough to be Qin Shen's father, has been severely scolded.
It is said that the resignation rate has increased significantly in just a few days.
Assistant Kong brought a department manager to report on recent work. After carefully knocking on the door, she led the stressed-out man inside.
The man was around forty years old.
He was of average appearance and height, but wore a well-fitting three-piece suit.
As soon as I walked in, I looked up and saw Qin Shen.
The man didn't sit in the swivel chair, but stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the tall building in the distance, wondering what was so attractive about it.
