Mr. Huo, stop being abusive. Miss Fu is going on a blind date again.

After the girl cried for help, the phone was suddenly hung up.

When Qin Heng called again, the number didn't go through.

His face suddenly darkened and he unbuttoned his white coat.

He strode towards Ding Yu's office, and after instructing Ding Yu to take good care of Grandma Ji, he walked straight into the elevator and skillfully dialed Ji Qing's phone number.

However, the call was not connected.

The call still couldn't get through until the moment he boarded the plane.

Before turning off his phone, he sent a message to Ji Qing:

……

Ji Qing came out of the club and received a call from Ji Lin.

"Sister, where have you been? Why can't I get through on the phone?"

Ji Qing frowned slightly, moved her phone away and took a look, there were no missed calls.

I guess the signal is unstable.

After entering the club, she put her phone in her bag and didn't pick it up when she didn't hear it ringing.

Her gaze paused.

There was a WeChat message from Qin Heng——

wait for me.

Ji Qing held the phone tightly, as if she didn't hear Ji Lin's voice on the phone, got into the car and started the car.

Watching Ji Qing drive away, Yu Lan said calmly, "Remove the signal jammer inside."

"Yes, Mr. Yu."

……

Before Grandma Ji was discharged from the hospital, Ji Qing went to find Ding Yu.

"Can my grandma take a plane in her condition? I want to take her to South City for recuperation."

Ding Yu nodded. "Grandma Ji's condition is quite stable now. If you want to take her to South City, I can arrange for medical staff to come."

"That's great, thank you Ding Yu."

Ding Yu smiled and said, "Qin Heng told me to take good care of Grandma Ji. He is a big boss in the industry, and I dare not neglect him."

Ji Qing clenched her fingers.

"Where on earth did Qin Heng go?"

Ji Qing shook her head.

He said nothing.

Only two words.

wait for me.

Ji Qing seemed to be accustomed to waiting for him.

Eighteenth birthday, waiting for him.

Be prepared to confess your love to him.

Later he went abroad, and she tried hard to get closer to him.

No one knew that she, who appeared to be a strong woman in front of others, actually had a soft spot.

She was afraid to hear the news of his marriage.

She paid attention to his career but didn't dare to pry into his feelings.

She waited silently, always feeling that he would return home.

This wait lasted twelve years.

Twelve years, a cycle.

She is guarding an invisible future, waiting for someone whose return date is unknown.

It rained in Bincheng and Nancheng on the day Ji Qing took Grandma Ji on the plane.

Ten days have passed since Qin Heng left.

During this period, she called him countless times.

Without exception, the call never went through once.

It was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

After returning to South City, she asked Ouyang Fan to check his outbound flight and found out that he was going to the UK. She also knew that the call he received before leaving was from a woman.

A young, beautiful woman.

"Mr. Ji, do we need to investigate further?" Ouyang Fan asked.

Ji Qing flipped through the documents and said, "No need."

Ouyang Fan turned and left the office.

The office, covered by the sunset glow, was filled with orange light.

Ji Qing lit a cigarette and touched the jade pendant in the collar of his shirt.

She exhaled a puff of smoke slowly.

Eleven days.

Qin Heng disappeared for eleven days.

After Grandma Ji was brought to South City, she lived in the Bi Hai Mansion with Ji Qing's parents. They were both retired and had plenty of time to spend with the elderly.

Ji Qing also moved back home instead of returning home temporarily every time just to meet Qin Heng.

At the dinner table, Grandma Ji gave her a piece of sweet and sour pork and said, "Grandma made this herself. You've lost weight recently, so you should eat more."

Sweet and sour pork is Ji Qing’s favorite dish.

At this moment, as she ate, her mouth felt sweet and sour, but her heart felt only sour.

She curled the corners of her lips in self-mockery.

WTF!

Damn man!

It was a morning in late June, and an executive meeting had just ended.

Ji Qing walked out of the conference room in high heels, followed by a group of executives from Ji Group.

Ouyang Fan followed closely beside her.

After entering the office, he said, "Boss Ji, Dr. Qin has returned."

Ji Qing paused.

Twenty-one days.

The dead have passed their 37th day.

Without saying a word, she walked behind her desk and picked up a document.

When Ouyang Fan was about to leave, she asked, "Where are the people?"

"I rushed to the hospital as soon as I got off the plane."

Ji Qing held the pen and looked down at the words on the document. Her long eyelashes concealed the emotions in her eyes.

Ouyang Fan suddenly didn't know what to say.

This period of time was the busiest and unhappiest he had ever seen Ji Qing since he met her.

"Okay, I get it, go out and get busy."

Ouyang Fan went out and closed the door carefully.

After Ji Qing finished processing several documents, she met with the CEO of the cooperative company.

When I returned to the office, my cell phone rang.

She looked at the three words "Qin Mutou" on the note and hung up without hesitation.

The next second, the phone rang again.

She simply turned her phone to silent mode and placed it upside down on the desk.

Five minutes later, Ouyang Fan knocked on the office door.

"Mr. Ji."

He walked over and handed the phone to Ji Qing.

Ji Qing took a look and saw that the call was made to Ouyang Fan's cell phone.

"Should I answer it?" Ouyang Fan asked, and then he said, "The security guard called just now and said that Doctor Qin is downstairs in the company."

Ji Qing typed at the keyboard expressionlessly, and there was no warmth in her eyes behind her blue-light blocking glasses.

"Just say I'm not here."

Ouyang Fan hesitated for a few seconds, but did not dare to disobey Ji Qing, so he slid the screen.

"Hello, Doctor Qin?"

"Boss Ji...we are not in the company right now."

Ouyang Fan heard Qin Heng on the other end of the phone asking him where he was. He looked at Ji Qing's increasingly cold expression and suddenly had an idea. "It's inconvenient, Doctor Qin. We are meeting a client."

Afraid that he would make more mistakes if he said too much, Ouyang Fan made an excuse: "I have something to do, Doctor Qin. Sorry, I have to hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Fan asked Ji Qing, "Boss Ji, Doctor Qin is still downstairs."

"Don't worry about him, he will leave on his own." Ji Qing said coldly.

"Yes."

After Ouyang Fan left, Ji Qing pushed away the keyboard irritably, picked up the cigarette and lighter and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

She lowered her head when lighting a cigarette and could see outside the company at a glance.

The floor is high, but you can't see the people walking clearly.

Although she couldn't see clearly, she seemed to see Qin Heng leaving.

Ji Qing put out her cigarette irritably.

After getting off work in the evening, she went home first and then rode her Harley motorcycle to the gym.

The fitness coach thought she was crazy as she sweated like crazy all night.

After finishing her exercise, she took a shower and her fingers brushed the pendant on her neck. She suddenly pulled the pendant off with force.

The red rope left a mark on her fair neck.

When I came out of the shower, there were many missed calls and unread messages on my phone.

All of them belong to Qin Heng.

She didn't open WeChat and didn't even glance at the message.

It was already late to leave the gym.

Motorcycles were not allowed on some roads, so she rode her bike to the open road.

Unexpectedly, I met Qin Heng on the road.

He lost weight.
