After the divorce, she disappeared overnight

At night, a drizzle suddenly fell from the inky black sky.

The fine rain seemed to be the unspeakable sorrow and boredom in people's hearts, falling quietly and casting a gloomy and depressing atmosphere on the whole city.

In the dimly lit bar, a luxurious and private box was filled with a faint smell of smoke and alcohol.

Huo Chenqi leaned lazily on the sofa, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the coffee table in front of him, making a crisp and rhythmic sound.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" His voice was deep and mellow, with an irresistible majesty.

Shi Lu, who was sitting opposite him, frowned and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Why did you let Jiang Yi work in your company?"

Huo Chenqi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile: "Because she has the ability."

"Are you kidding me?" Shi Lu's eyes widened. "I don't know if she has the ability or not. Just based on her..."

"Lu, do you really understand her?" Huo Chenqi interrupted Shi Lu and looked at him deeply, as if trying to see through his true thoughts.

Shi Lu was stunned for a moment, but soon regained his composure and sneered: "Of course, we have been together for four years!"

Huo Chenqi slowly picked up the wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and then said slowly: "Okay, I'll give you a hint."

"?"

"Westminster University."

When Shi Lu heard this, he was stunned, his mouth opened involuntarily, and his face was full of disbelief.

How can this be?

Is it possible for her to go to this school since her family has no money?

"Oh my god! My sister-in-law is so powerful?" Yan Zisheng couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes full of surprise.

"You are such a hidden talent! I didn't expect that you, Aqi, know so much about something that even Alu hasn't discovered." Song Haoran shook his head with emotion and looked at Huo Chenqi with admiration.

"secret."

Huo Chenqi uttered two words lightly, with a half-smile on his face, and it seemed that he didn't intend to say anything more.

"Tsk, you just keep me in suspense." Yan Zisheng muttered in dissatisfaction.

Shi Lu was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking. Then he said, "I'm leaving now. Do whatever you want."

"Hey...what's going on? You called us here and then you ran away. This won't work." Yan Zisheng grabbed him.

"It's no use for you to go find her now." Huo Chenqi said lightly.

After hearing his words, Shi Lu frowned and asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"

Song Haoran then said: "Yes, if she really wanted to tell you the truth, why would she hide it for so long?" After saying this, he sighed softly.

Yan Zisheng also echoed and agreed: "That's right, sister-in-law may really have some unspeakable difficulties! If you rush over to ask her about it now, aren't you forcing her?"

"Alas..." Shi Lu shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself: "Maybe it's true..."

"Forget it, let everything take its course. The truth will eventually come out, there's no need to push her too hard. Otherwise, if she can't stand the pressure and runs away one day, you'll be the one crying."

"Okay, shut up!" Shi Lu felt annoyed when he thought about the woman leaving.

Seeing this, the others shut their mouths and stopped talking.

After a while, someone suggested: "Okay, okay, don't think too much, let's just drink."

So, the group continued to drink to drown their sorrows until late at night, when they stood up one after another and prepared to leave.

At this time, Shi Lu had drunk a little too much and his steps were unsteady.

Huo Chenqi quickly arranged for someone to carry him back to his own room to rest.

After everyone else left, Huo Chenqi returned home alone.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he walked straight to the bed and stared at the photo on the bedside table.

The woman in the photo had a bright and charming smile, which made him recall every little thing that had happened between him and this woman...

Before I knew it, I fell asleep holding the photo.

-

When the sunlight shone into the room through the window, Huo Chenqi slowly opened his eyes and realized that it was already noon.

He reached out his hand and rubbed his brow, trying to dispel the remaining sleepiness, then slowly walked down the stairs.

Walking into the kitchen, he took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator and drank it down his throat in big gulps without hesitation.

The cool liquid made him feel refreshed, but it also reminded him of some troubles.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, breaking the silence in the house.

Huo Chenqi frowned slightly, muttering to himself: Who could it be? With doubt, he walked to the door and opened it.

"Aqi~" A soft female voice came into my ears.

He looked carefully and found that it was Bai Xi standing outside the door.

Seeing her appear, Huo Chenqi's originally slightly wrinkled brows became even more furrowed, and a hint of indifference was revealed in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" he asked calmly, without any intention of moving aside to let her in.

Bai Xi replied in a tender tone: "I called you many times but no one answered, so I came directly to find you."

Hearing this, Huo Chenqi was stunned for a moment, trying hard to recall whether they had agreed to do something together today.

After a moment, some vague impressions seemed to flash through his mind - as if he had indeed promised to go back to her home with her.

"Come in." He finally stepped aside, his tone still calm.

A sweet smile immediately blossomed on Bai Xi's face, and she walked into the house happily.

"Ok!"

However, Huo Chenqi immediately warned: "Remember, don't touch things that you shouldn't touch. I'll go upstairs and change my clothes."

She nodded obediently to show that she understood, then sat on the sofa and waited quietly.

"Don't worry, I'll just sit here and won't move."

Huo Chenqi gazed at her slightly obedient expression, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated.

Looking at Huo Chenqi's departing back, Bai Xi had an imperceptible smug smile on his face.

When the man's back disappeared, she quickly took out her mobile phone from her pocket, took several selfies of herself and the layout of the house, and immediately uploaded the photos to her personal social media platform.

"What are you doing!" Bai Xi was shocked by the sudden roar.

She had never expected that Huo Chenqi would change his clothes so quickly and appear in front of her.

After calming down a bit, she defended herself by saying, "I just felt a little bored, so I took a few selfies, Qi. Why are you so excited? Don't worry, you told me not to touch your things, and I'll keep it in mind."

"Don't let me find out what you have done, let's go. There are still many things waiting to be dealt with in my company, so hurry up." Huo Chenqi urged with a cold face.

"Well...how about this, you go to the company to do your thing first, and I can wait for you there." Bai Xi was planning in his mind.

"No need." Huo Chenqi rejected her proposal without hesitation.

Being in the same room with this woman only made him feel extremely disgusted and repulsive, and he didn't want to stay there for a moment longer.

Before leaving, Huo Chenqi sent a message to his assistant, asking him to replace all the sofas and carpets in the house, and emphasized that they should be disinfected several times.

The two got into the car together and drove towards the Bai family.

The atmosphere along the way was extremely depressing and there was almost no communication between each other.
