When she finally managed to find it, the battery was dead.
Gu Mengmeng hit the seat in front of her hard: "Butler, butler! Give me your phone! Itās an emergency!"
Without asking any questions, the butler handed his phone over.
Upon receiving the call, Gu Liancheng, seeing that it was the butler, asked directly, "Whatās that girl up to now?"
"Oh my goodness, Mr. Gu! What could I possibly do!"
"...Cute?"
"Mr. Gu, itās bad! You have no idea that Eleven is about to run away!"
"..."
"I knew you wouldnāt know! Eleven left! He took Jiujiu back to live with him, didnāt he tell you?"
"..." He genuinely didnāt know.
If it werenāt for Cute telling him, he would only realize when he got home and found them missing.
However, after a moment of silence, he didnāt feel surprised at all. It was something she was capable of doing. If she hadnāt done it, it would be strange.
"Oh Mr. Gu! Not all women are like me who can still love you the same way after being scolded and schooled by you. Donāt be so temperamental, okay?"
"Gu Mengmeng, do you realize who youāre talking to?"
"Donāt worry about it! Your wife has run away, and youāre still discussing this with me?"
"Donāt meddle in adultsā affairs."
"So, what do you mean, Mr. Gu? Donāt care about Eleven and Jiujiu? Donāt want to go after them?"
"Iāll handle it. You just come back right away. Of course, if you want to live with them, you can go find them. It wonāt matter if Iām left alone in the empty mansion. At worst, it will be a bit cold and lonely."
On the other end, Gu Liancheng was still at the company, closing his file, supporting his temple with one hand, his expression cold.
Su Bai paused in his movements, silently tidying up the files on the desk into two piles: urgent and non-urgent. His ears were always attuned to the conversation between Liancheng and Cute.
"Adult affairs" that Miss Mengmeng cared about could only be related to Eleven.
What happened between Mr. Gu and Miss Fang again?
"Oh... Mr. Gu, how can I bear it when you talk like this? Alright, donāt work too late, or I wonāt wait for you to go to sleep."
"I know. Be good."
After hanging up, Gu Liancheng said to Su Bai, "I wonāt be eating at home tonight. You can take off early, have dinner with Cute, and spend some time with her after dinner. If Iām not back by then, put her to bed."
"Mr. Gu, let Su Qing go with her. Iāll stay and keep you company!" Su Bai grinned.
Gu Liancheng glanced at him, "Thatās up to you."
But he, indeed, guessed Su Baiās intention, "You donāt want to accompany the little witch, do you?"
"No! Thereās no such thing!" Su Bai immediately changed the subject, "Mr. Gu, did you have a fight with Miss Fang? Do you need my help?"
"No."
"It sounds like it, since even Miss Mengmeng has taken it to heart."
"Mind your own business," Gu Liancheng gave him a disdainful look.
It would be better if she left.
It would be quiet if she left.
When they were here, his emotions were never calm.
With Su Bai gone, Gu Liancheng glanced at his phone, staring at Elevenās number, but never made the call.
He sighed and leaned back against the chair, closing his eyes, and pressing the Jingming Point for a while.
In his mindās eye, there was a sudden flash of blood, which startled him into opening his eyes, his breathing becoming rapid.
Why did he have to bump into it?
But he also knew that some things were bound to get out sooner or later.
