Near noon, the early winter sunshine sprinkled into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, lightening the house. However, Shen II felt cold when the gust of wind swept over him, and he could not help but shiver.
âWhat is the address,â asked Shen Xinglan.
After a long time, the cold voices finally passed into Shen Iâs ears.
Shen Xinglan held the jade pendant in his palm, with a thumb circling on it again and again.
âWe have no address. Someone sent it to the courier company. I called and asked, but that person said it was a man.â Shen II carefully glanced at him and said, âBOSS⌠Is it sent by the young lady?â
Shen Xinglan closed his eyes, and he did not believe that A Miao would leave without saying goodbye.
âGo to check. Get the video in the courier company and find the person who sent the jade pendant.â
Soon, Shen II found the person, but the result was disappointing.
âItâs said that it is the person who lives nearby.â Shen II didnât look very well and replied, âHe said that when he went for work, someone stopped him and asked him to send this to the courier company, and this person also gave him five hundred yuan.â
Shen Xinglan quietly sat there, and the darker and darker ink in his eyes made people feel trembled. He looked at the jade pendant on the table and said, âWell, you didnât find that one.â
âNoâŚâ
Shen II had to nod, for they totally had no clue and could not find any clues.
âAs if the young lady disappeared out of thin air.â He looked at Shen Xinglan, waiting for instructions.
Shen Xinglan frowned and whispered, âDisappeared out of thin airâŚâ
âBOSS?â Shen II did not hear clearly and asked.
âGo to the school, and find Jiang Hua.â Shen Xinglan stood up abruptly and said, âWell, I will go there in person.â
Jiang Hua lived in a faculty dormitory behind the school. It was said to be a dormitory, but also a very well-equipped housing estate. ts environment was very good. Jiang Hua lived on the 18th floor, only one household on each floor.
âWhich one are you looking for?â Jiang Hua recognized Shen Xinglan at first sight when he opened the door.
Shen Xinglan looked at Jiang coldly and queried, âWhere is A Miao?â
âAre you Director Shen?â Jiang Hua looked awkwardly and said, âOh, I am sorry. I just didnât recognize you.â
âI am not coming to listen to your nonsense. Where is A Miao?â
Jiang Hua smiled with anger and said, âDirector Shen, donât you think itâs ridiculous? A Miao is your fiancee, but you ran to ask me where she is. To say the least, I still want to ask you where A Miao was. She did not come to class this morning.â
âMake way.â Shen Xinglan frowned and said.
âThis is my home.â Jiang Hua put up his smile and said, âIf Director Shen wanted to force your way, I have to call the police.â
Shen Xinglan just went inside without a glance at him and said, âWhatever you do.â
âDirector Shen!â Jiang Hua said loudly, âLooking at your behaviors, maybe A Miao was missing. I know that you are not afraid of the police, but if they come, how do you explain the disappearance of your fiancee?â
Seeing that he stopped, Jiang Hua smiled and said, âOr, do you want everyone to know that your fiancee is missing?â
âMr. Jiang.â Shen Xinglan slowly walked back and said, âA Miao is very important to me. I hope you can tell me where she is.â
âIf I know, I will tell you.â
The air seemed to solidify, and between these two men were turbulent undercurrents.
âThank you for your time.â In the end, Shen Xinglan made a step back.
Jiang Hua was right. If the outside world knew that A Miao was missing, maybe those reporters would write false reports. Having admitted his feelings, he didnât want A Miao to get hurt.
Although⌠the person who hurt A Miao most was himselfâŚ
âYouâre welcome!â Jiang Hua sent him to the door and closed it until he watched them enter the elevator.
A door in the other room suddenly opened.
âHe has gone?â
Jiang Hua shrugged his shoulders and said, âYes, he is really amazing. He even can guess that you are here with me.â
âThat guy has two ears like foxes.â A Miao sat down and touched the gauze on her head.
âDonât always touch here with your hand. It will be a week before you take out stitches!â Jiang Hua gave her a cup of milk tea and asked, âYou really donât want to go back?â
A Miao, wrapped in a quilt on the sofa, comfortably took a sip and said, âHow could it be possible!â She glanced at Jiang Hua and said, âBut I donât want to go back now, maybe when Iâm better on my head.â
âI would like to thank you for your injury this time.â Jiang Hua smiled and joked, âOtherwise, I still donât know that such a beautiful girl is around me!â
That day he took A Miao away in disorder, and accidentally discovered the secret of her eyes. After she woke up, she told Jiang Hua about her childhood, and asked him to send the jade pendant to Shen Xinglan by express.
âWhat have you asked me to send to Shen Xinglan?â Jiang Hua promised A Miao that he did not peep the goods inside, and he really did not do.
A Miao touched the rim of the cup and replied, âNothing, just a gadget he gave me.â
âThatâs okay, anyway!â Jiang Hua said with his eyes full of gentleness and joy, âWhen you are better and when you go back to school, I will introduce you some jobs about jewelry appraisal. Donât worry about life issues.â
Seeing that A Miao said nothing, he frowned and asked, âBut I can notice that maybe Shen Xinglan isnât willing to dismiss the relationship with you.â
âHe has already promised.â A Miao put the cup down and said, âI have a headache again. I am going to take a nap.â
Jiang Hua licked his mouth and looked at A Miao into the room. Then he said to himself, âYou donât know men very much. Shen Xinglanâs expression just means that he still cares you very muchâŚâ
Inside the car, Shen II hang the phone call and turned back, and he said, âBOSS, Jiang Hua went home directly after leaving the auction yesterday. And he wasnât found to go anywhere, nor did he bring anyone home.â
âA Miao is there, exactly.â Ding V suddenly said in a ghosty voice, âI smell her, but it is mixed with blood.â
Shen Xinglan, whose eyes were closed all the time, slowly opened them again and said, âHer head got hurt.â
âGo to rob at dusk.â Ding V said with his teeth grinded, and added when he saw Shen Xinglanâs eyesight, âDo not kill.â
âNo.â Shen Xinglan lifted his hands and ordered, âSpy on Jiang Huaâs house, and inform me when A Miao go back to school.â
Having known where she is, Shen Xinglan was relieved. Because that girl couldnât skip class for too long. She had gotten hurt at this time, if he forced to take her away, it would be harmful, firstly for her health, secondly forâŚ
Shen Xinglan now had many things to do. Now that he had set his mind to love A Miao, he couldnât get along with her like before. But as for the futureâŚ
âMaybe, when you see Shanshan, you will find that itâs not love.â This was what Le Yi said, and what Shen Xinglan now firmly agreed with!
He must let A Miao fall in love with him, and then let himself be with her all the time. So, the first thing he was going to do wasâŚ
âCall Shen I back.â
Shen III, who drove the car, slammed and asked, âBOSS, would you like me to change him?â
âShen IV might have finished all the things there. Let him go.â
Shen III brightened his eyes and said, âYes.â
At this time, Shen I, who was far away in Africa, was making a loud sneeze!
âDonât rob?â Only Ding V said with regret.
âŚ
A week later, A Miao took out the suture. Meanwhile, Jiang Hua also arranged a plastic surgeonâs appointment for her.
âNot necessarily?â A Miao looked into the mirror and said, âItâs just so small, and itâs covered by the hair. I can nearly see it .â
Jiang Hua shot her a glare and said, âWhich girl can leave the scar in her body! Although you canât see it, you have to get rid of it.â
âThatâs really not necessary.â A Miao fixed her bangs well in front of her forehead. She now kept a short neat hair, making the whole person look thinner as if the wind could blow her down.
Jiang Hua saw her determinations, and finally asked, âYouâve considered?â
âThanks, no.â A Miao waved her hand and said, âCome on, letâs go to class.â
The Jis.
âBOSS!â Shen I rushed in and reported, âThe young lady went to school.â
Shen Xinglan looked up from the file and said, âGive me that.â
âThe young lady is thinner.â Shen I gave the picture which was originally in his hand to Shen Xinglan, self-talking.
In the photo, A Miao, holding the book, walked around the campus. From far to close, there was a photo of her waving goodbye with Jiang Hua. Her smile was sweet, and her eyes were sincere.
âNo scar was leftâŚâ Shen Xinglan carefully stared at the close-up photo, trying not to think about Jiang Huaâs face.
Shen I said it again, âBOSS, have you not found that the young lady is thinner?â
âIt will be better soon.â Shen Xinglan stood up and said, âTomorrow, you go to pick her up.â
âWhat if the young lady doesnât want to come back?â
Shen Xinglan picked her eyebrows and said, âShe will come back.â
A Miao would indeed come back because her luggage was still at home. She could give up all other things, but she still had to bring back her makeup tools which were passed by her father.
âWhirâŚâ When she was out of school in the afternoon, she touched her eyelids and always worried that it would fall off at any time, because she casually stuck it on. Back to the dormitory, she dialed Shen II.
âHello! My young lady!â
A Miao confounded a moment and said, âShen⌠Shen I?â
âItâs me! Itâs me!â Shen I shouted on the phone with excitement, âMy young lady, you even remember my voice.â
On the other side, Shen II silently stepped back and didnât remind that excited guy, as Shen Xinglan was glaring at him as if his eyes could throw knives.
âYou are back!â A Miao was also very happy. As for her, Shen I was much more lovely than Shen Xinglan.
Shen I finally found the cold eyesights from his own BOSS, and immediately entered the topic and said, âMy young lady, shall I pick you up at noon tomorrow?â
âThank you for bothering you.â A Miao smiled and said, âI just called you to talk about this.â
âOkay, see you at the usual place!â Having hung up and squinted at Shen Xinglan, Shen I warily said to Shen Xinglan, âBOSS, the young lady really would come back.â
Shen Xinglan peacefully said, âIf your strategy doesnât work, then go back to Africa.â
âAh?â Shen I shocked and stumbled, âIâŚIâŚâ And then Shen II took his collar and dragged him out.
The next day, A Miao got on the car on time, and Shen I gave her a big smile and said, âLong time no see, my young lady!â
âHa-ha, I didnât expect that you will come back!â A Miao fastened her seat belt, and seemed to casually ask, âWell, where is your BOSS now?â
Shen I glanced around and replied, âHe was in the company, but he said that he wanted to dine with you at night.â
âNo, I would leave after taking my luggage.â A Miao leaned against the seat and said, âGo ahead.â
âHa-haâŚâ
On the way home, Shen I reported how their BOSS worried and felt restless when A Miao was absent recentlyâBOSS couldnât sleep well, and almost ruined the contract which was worth tens of millions of yuan.
A Miao kept silent all the time, and Shen I didnât know whether she sunk in. When arriving at the Shensâ villa, Shen II went upstairs behind her. The moment A Miao opened the door, her eyes were shocked to become straight.
