"..." Huo Muchen hung up the phone and walked out of the office. The impact from the voice over the phone far surpassed the sight he had seen in the video. That smothered feeling he'd been harboring in his chest dissipated in an instant.
As the office door opened once more, Bai Nuanxi spun around and rushed forward, "I... I know I was wrong..."
"Hmm."
"I won't dare to do it again."
"Hmm."
"I..."
"Shh, you're exhausted. Your throat is hoarse from crying. Take a rest."

Bai Nuanxi awoke in the lounge, an ice pack placed over her eyes, with no sign of redness or swelling. Slowly, she sat up, her gaze immediately searching for Huo Muchen's presence, but he was nowhere to be found, and her heart tightened.
"Muchen..." Bai Nuanxi whispered softly, lifting the quilt as she got out of bed.
Huo Muchen had disappeared again?
