After the divorce, she disappeared overnight

In a luxurious villa.

A tall man stood quietly outside the balcony, looking into the distance.

Suddenly, the ringing of a cell phone broke the silence.

The man picked up the phone: "Ma'am, I got her."

"Okay, I'll take good care of her."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

The man walked back to the bed silently, staring at the person on the bed with gentle yet complicated eyes.

She closed her eyes tightly, her face was slightly red on both sides due to being drunk, and her brows were slightly wrinkled.

The man sighed softly, his heart filled with heartache and helplessness.

He murmured to himself in a low voice: Why must you have him? Do you have to be hurt all over before you give up?

After saying that, he reached out his hand, carefully tucked the quilt for her, then turned and left the room.

……

The next morning, the sky was covered with a layer of mist and a fine drizzle was falling.

The person on the bed had a splitting headache due to last night's hangover.

She opened her eyes with difficulty and slowly sat up, feeling that the whole world was spinning.

After a long time, she barely regained some strength and began to tidy up her messy hair and clothes.

After cleaning up, she slowly walked out of the room and came to the spacious and bright living room.

As soon as she entered the living room, she saw the familiar figure sitting on the sofa.

"Get up." The man heard the footsteps and said softly.

Bai Xi looked at him in surprise, "You, why are you back?"

The man raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, "Madam is worried about you."

The woman sneered, "Haha, really? My mom asked you to come back and keep an eye on me, right?"

The man did not deny it, but fiddled with his phone to show his agreement.

She took a deep breath and continued, "Did you send me back last night?"

"Yes."

The man's voice was still calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of concern.

"I'm hungry."

"I've asked someone to deliver it. Please sit down for a while." The man replied without even raising his head.

"Oh." Bai Xi responded, then sat obediently on the sofa waiting.

After a while, the man suddenly said, "Next time, I can't guarantee that I can show up every time, so be careful out there."

His tone was calm, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

Bai Xi's heart tightened, and he quickly nodded and agreed: "I understand."

Then there was another awkward silence.

Finally, the man stood up and walked towards the door: "Wash your hands and get ready. The meal is here. I'll go get it. Wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Bai Xi pursed her lips, her eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction, but she still obediently walked into the bathroom to wash her hands.

When Bai Xi arrived at the dining table, she found it filled with all kinds of light food, which was really unappealing to her as she loved spicy food.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Bai Xi couldn't help but ask, while stealing glances at the man in front of her out of the corner of her eye.

"I've eaten, you should hurry up and eat. Auntie will come and clean up later. I have some things to take care of, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, the man turned and left.

"Didn't my mother ask you to look after me? Why do you have other things to do?" Bai Xi shouted at the man's departing back.

The man did not explain, but simply said: "I will be back in the evening."

Watching the man walking further and further away until he disappeared, Bai Xi felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.

She sat down silently and began to enjoy this not-so-delicious lunch...

After eating, she drove to her studio.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard a friendly greeting: "Xixi, you are here."

"Well, do you have any plans recently?" Bai Xi asked directly.

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to take a few days off?" the agent was a little surprised.

"No need, let's see if we can arrange the shooting today." Bai Xi replied firmly.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." The agent did not dare to delay and started preparing immediately.

Time slipped away quietly, and Bai Xi was immersed in the busy shooting work throughout the afternoon.

Finally, the last set of shots was completed successfully.

"Xixi! Xixi!" At this moment, a burst of hurried shouting interrupted her thoughts.

"What's going on?" Bai Xi asked puzzledly.

"There's a super handsome guy outside to pick you up!" a staff member said excitedly.

Upon hearing the news, Bai Xi's eyes lit up instantly, and he wondered in his heart: Could it be that Huo Chenqi is here?

"Not Mr. Huo."

However, the assistant beside her seemed to see through her thoughts and ruthlessly shattered her fantasy.

The light in Bai Xi's eyes suddenly dimmed. That's right...how could it be him?

All of his employees knew Huo Chenqi. If he really was here, why would everyone be so panicked?

"Okay, I understand." Bai Xi sighed helplessly.

"Then you..." The assistant hesitated.

"You stay and handle the follow-up matters. I'm going home first. Remember to pick me up at home tomorrow." Bai Xi instructed, then picked up his bag and went out.

"Okay, okay. Go ahead."

The assistant nodded repeatedly and watched Bai Xi leave.

Bai Xi walked outside slowly and his eyes were attracted by a Maybach parked on the side of the road.

I saw a man leaning leisurely against the front of the car, with a cigarette between his fingers.

Viewed from the side, the man's handsome face was particularly charming, and the sunlight made his healthy wheat-colored skin even more radiant.

"Why are you here?" Bai Xi walked to the car and asked with a hint of curiosity.

Didn’t he say he would be back in the evening?

"I'll come pick you up now that I've finished my work," the man replied nonchalantly.

"Oh."

Then, the man gracefully opened the car door for her and considerately protected her head to prevent it from hitting the door frame.

"My wife asked you to come home for dinner tonight," the man suddenly said.

"Huh?" Bai Xi was slightly stunned when he heard that.

“Your father arranged it,” the man added.

Bai Xi was silent for a moment, knowing in his heart that he still needed to rely on his father's strength at this time and could not break up with him easily.

So she nodded and said softly, "Then go back."

After saying that, she got into the car and closed the door.

The man walked around the car, sat in the driver's seat, started the engine, and the vehicle drove smoothly out of the parking space and headed towards home.

Along the way, neither of them spoke again. The only companions were the smell of perfume in the car and the scenery rapidly receding outside the window.

Not long after, the vehicle was parked steadily at the doorstep.

The man got out of the car, then quickly walked to the other side and gently opened the door.

Bai Xi slowly walked out of the car.

"I'll wait for you outside." The man said gently.

Bai Xi frowned slightly, looked at the man with a slightly puzzled look, and asked softly: "Aren't you going in?"

The man shook his head slightly to express his refusal.

This action surprised Bai Xi very much, because every time he came home, he would go into the house with her to have dinner with his family.

But why was he so abnormal tonight? Was it because he had grown estranged from his family after being abroad for a while?

All kinds of questions came to Bai Xi's mind, and he walked towards home while thinking.

She secretly speculated on the reason, and her mood became increasingly heavy.
