A few seconds passed and he offered no response. Not taking his silence to heart, Tong Yi said, "I heard you went on a business trip. How long will you be gone for?"
A few more seconds passed, but there was still no reply. Tong Yi frowned slightly. "Is it difficult to say?"
"One week," he finally replied.
Tong Yi's brows furrowed even more tightly. Wouldn't she be staying here in the game for a week for nothing then? "No, that's too long. I won't be able to see you for such a long time. I'll miss you very much. Where are you headed for your business trip?"
There was another long stretch of silence and after a few seconds, he hung up.
Tong Yi was momentarily stunned. Did he hang up on her just like that? He didn't even say any parting words before hanging up. He was such a rude guy!
However…
"The plane from Lan City to T City was about to take off. Passengers who have not gone through the security checks…"
Before Lu Zhanbei hung up, Tong Yi had heard an incomplete airport announcement.
Tong Yi's lips curved slightly. She booked the earliest flight to Lan City on her phone, then drove her car home to pack some items for the trip.
Just as she was dragging her luggage downstairs, she bumped into Yun Ruoshu, who was coming in from outdoors. "Yi'er, where are you going?"
Tong Yi lowered her gaze and casually made up an answer. "I'm going on a trip to chill and relax."
Yun Ruoshu's first reaction was to disapprove of her daughter's actions. There was no need to guess. Tong Yi was definitely hanging out with that brat from the Ling family again. How distasteful it was for a girl to be hanging out with a boy day in and day out!
However, after giving it some thought, she decided it was not a bad idea for Tong Yi to go out and have some fun. Although the gossip and news about Tong Yi and the Lu brothers on the internet had subsided, it wasn't a good idea for Tong Yi and Lu Zhanbei to stay in the same place. She was always worried that Tong Yi would do something out of line.
Perhaps Tong Yi would forget about Lu Zhanbei after going out to play for a few days?
Yun Ruoshu nodded. "Have fun."
Tong Yi was oblivious to Yun Ruoshu's thoughts. "Okay."
"Be careful when you're out there. Keep a safe distance from boys," Yun Ruoshu reminded her in a worried tone.
"Mm."
"Did you bring any money?"
Tong Yi nodded.
"Okay, go ahead. Call Mommy before you come back. Mommy will pick you up."
"Okay." Tong Yi left the villa and went straight to the airport.
It was already 11 a.m. when she arrived at Lan City.
Before boarding the plane, Tong Yi had already picked out a five-star hotel in Lan City. No matter where Lu Zhanbei was in Lan City, he would definitely stay in a hotel. Someone of his status would definitely stay in a luxurious hotel.
Thankfully, there were not many of them. There were only three hotels ranked five stars and above, so she went to check them out one by one.
Tong Yi first went to the five-star hotel that was closest to the bus stop. She went to the front desk and asked the receptionist, "Which room is Lu Zhanbei staying in?"
The receptionist said, "I'm sorry, but we can't reveal any information about our customers."
Tong Yi looked displeased. "I'm his wife and I'm here to catch the wh*re he is sleeping with. Are you trying to help him cover up for that woman?"
Hearing this, the receptionist was in a dilemma for being put in such an awkward situation. She had not expected to encounter such a situation. "But according to the rules of our hotel…"
"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible." Tong Yi interrupted the receptionist. Her suppressed emotions were on the verge of exploding. "Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'll knock on every single door in this hotel."
The receptionist hesitated for two seconds before quickly choosing between revealing a scumbag customer's information and disrupting the rest of the customers. "Please wait a moment."
After a while, the receptionist looked away from the computer screen and back at Tong Yi. "Your husband's room is the Presidential Suite No. 2806."
Tong Yi nodded, feeling slightly happy. Lady Luck was smiling on her. She turned around and dragged her luggage toward the elevator.
