When Long Fei learned about Su Ruan's departure to F City, it was already nighttime and the girl was already on her flight.
Long Yu Heng stood in front of Long Fei and felt as if the air around him had turned heavier. He was well aware that this time it was his fault.
He caught up with her too late and by the time he had arrived at her apartment, Su Ruan had already left for the airport. It took time for him to figure out where she had gone to and her next destination.
The man finally let out a long breath. Long Fei slumped into his seat and rubbed the space between his brows.
The phone in Long Yu Heng's pocket buzzed. He read the message and his expression changed. He looked at his cousin again and spoke, "I received news that she went back to F City to visit her paternal grandfather. He had an accident and was hospitalized. I received news that his condition was now stabilized."
Long Fei was finally at ease upon hearing the news.
He had thought that something bad had happened. Fortunately, her grandfather was alright.
This way, Su Ruan would not worry too much, right?
He could still remember the report from Long Yu Heng given him earlier. Long Fei knew well that Su Ruan was closer to her paternal family due to her parents' divorce.
After that time Su Ruan had seen him transforming into another shape, she was so scared and traumatized. Later, she had never visited her maternal grandparents' place in D Town.
"Long Fei, do you want me to book you a flight to F City?" Long Yu Heng spoke cautiously. "You could go and visit her. I know that you will be more at ease when you are near her."
A deep frown appeared on his face as he thought about Long Yu Heng's words. After a while, he exhaled loudly and shook his head. "Forget it. Even if I go after her, what can I do? We don't know each other and have no relation with each other."
Long Yu Heng had thought that Long Fei would be satisfied as long as he could see her from afar. As long as he could see that she was alright, Long Fei's condition would stabilize.
"She should return to Capital City once her grandfather is well enough," Long Fei said. "I will just wait for her return here."
"You are right." Long Yu Heng nodded.
Long Fei turned around and looked at the beautiful garden scenery out the window. He pondered for a while and spoke again, "Yu Heng, help me to keep an eye on her. When she returns, tell me. We'll arrange for another interview and let her come to Blue Media Group again."
"Understood."
However, both Long Fei and Long Yu Heng did not think that after Su Ruan headed to F City to see her grandfather, she later made the decision not to return to Capital City again.
Two weeks have passed after Su Ruan headed to F City.
At this time, Long Yu Heng had assigned someone to keep an eye on Su Ruan's apartment.
On that evening, he received news that the movers came to the apartment and had taken out everything. After a brief hesitation, Long Yu Heng decided to head over and look for it himself.
Long Yu Heng could not hide his shock upon seeing a few burly men carrying the furniture out. Without thinking too much, Long Yu Heng walked over and spoke to the movers to find out the situation. However, the movers told him to speak to the owners.
"Excuse me, can I help you?"
Long Yu Heng stood up straight when he heard the voice. He steadied himself and turned around only to find Lin Qing behind him.
"It's you?" Lin Qing narrowed his eyes. A puzzled look appeared on her face
"Do… we know each other?" Long Yu Heng decided to play pretend.
Lin Qing blinked and realized that perhaps this man had not remembered her. "Not too long ago, you helped me with a flat tire, remember?"
Long Yu Heng studied her face for a long time and pretended to be surprised. "I think I remember. The one with that broken jack, right?"
Lin Qing laughed. "Un. That's me." The smile on her face quickly disappeared and she was looking at Long Yu Heng cautiously. "But, what are you doing here?"
Seeing the look on Lin Qing's face, Long Yu Heng began to suspect that this girl had thought of him as a pervert.
He let out a cough and took out his card. "Hello, I'm Long Yu Heng from Blue Media Group."
Lin Qing took the card and realized that this man had given her the same card to her during their first meeting. However, she had never seen that card again afterward.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the company's name. Not too long ago, Su Ruan had bagged herself an interview with this big company.
"I'm looking for Miss Su Ruan," Long Yu Heng continued. "May I know if she's around?"
"Why are you looking for Su Ruan?"
"It's like this… a while ago, Miss Su Ruan was supposed to attend an interview with our company," Long Yu Heng said. "However, she had not shown up. My boss saw her resume again and thought that it was too bad that she could not make it to the interview. He's willing to give her another chance."
Lin Qing looked at him in surprise. She gave the man a lookover and thought that he did not seem to be a liar. Lin Qing heaved a sigh and spoke, "I'm sorry. But I think you are too late. Su Ruan had decided to move to F City."
The smile on Long Yu Heng's face froze. "She's not planning to return?"
Lin Qing was not planning to tell this stranger about Su Ruan's personal matter. "I'm sorry. I don't know about that. Perhaps she will return, perhaps she won't. The last time we talked, she said that she's planning to take a few months' breaks from work. She had started working for her previous company straight after graduation. She said it's time for her to take a few months break to rest her mind and figure out what she wanted to do next."
Hearing her words, Long Yu Heng was suddenly at loss.
What was he supposed to do now?
Long Fei would be unhappy when he heard this news.
