Daybreak.

Xia Rui's eyes suddenly opened, she put on her slippers and ran to the door.

She ran so fast that she seemed to kick something, but she didn't care and pushed the door open.

The sensor light lit up instantly, illuminating the empty doorway.

The empty doorway.

Li Hao didn't come.

Xia Rui closed the door dejectedly and walked towards Xia Ying's bedroom with heavy steps.

"Ahao didn't come."

Her voice was filled with disappointment. She took off her slippers, got into bed, and tugged at Xia Ying's clothes.

Xia Ying was half asleep and was woken up by her. She turned over, half-closed her eyes and looked at Xia Rui, and asked vaguely: "What time is it now?"

Xia Rui whispered, "Six ten."

Xia Ying: “…”

She opened her eyes and sighed slightly, "Miss, what time is it now? Can you be a little patient? Sleep a little longer, and he will be here when you wake up."

"Yeah." Xia Rui lay on the bed, completely sleepless, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.

The sun gradually rose.

Xia Ying's alarm clock rang. She stretched and sat up. Looking at Xia Rui who was still immersed in her own world, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Sister, how about I not go to work today and stay at home with you."

Xia Rui shook her head, "Go to work, don't be a light bulb."

Xia Ying: “…”

After she finished washing up, she looked at the lifeless man lying on the bed and said, "I'm going to work first. If you have anything, feel free to call me."

Xia Rui blinked.

After Xia Ying left, it felt like time was stretched to the extreme, and every minute and every second was torture.

She waited anxiously for Li Hao to appear, but as time passed, there was still no news.

"Hello, the number you dialed is turned off." A cold mechanical voice came from the phone again and again.

She held the phone tightly, her eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.

Xia Rui could no longer sit still and decided not to wait passively anymore. She wanted to take the initiative and ask Li Hao for clarification.

When she looked in the mirror in the bathroom, she found that her eyes were swollen like walnuts, so she put an ice pack on her eyes.

Half an hour later, my eyes were still a little swollen.

She couldn't wait any longer, so she took off her eye mask, put on a pair of sunglasses to cover her swollen eyes, and ran straight to Li Hao's residence.

After opening the door, I found that he was not at home.

So she changed her destination and took a taxi to Li Hao's workplace.

All of Li Hao's colleagues at work recognize her.

"Ms. Xia, why are you here?" the security guard greeted her warmly.

"Did Li Hao come back today?" Xia Rui asked anxiously.

The security guard thought about it and shook his head, "It seems that I haven't seen the deputy director."

"I'll go in for a moment."

After saying that, Xia Rui walked to the floor where Li Hao's office was located with familiarity.

As soon as I reached the third floor, I ran into Zhou Dan.

Zhou Dan is Li Hao's colleague and likes Li Hao.

Zhou Dan frowned, with obvious hostility on his face, "What are you doing here? Non-staff members are not allowed to enter the backyard office at will."

Xia Rui rolled her eyes in her heart, "Is Li Hao in the office?"

Zhou Dan smiled contemptuously, "Isn't Deputy Director Li on vacation? How come you, as his girlfriend, don't even know this?" She deliberately emphasized the word "girlfriend" and raised a mocking arc at the corner of her mouth, "Break up?"

"It's none of your business, get out of the way." Xia Rui didn't want to get entangled with her, so she walked past her and went upstairs.

Zhou Dan stood in front of her, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked at Xia Rui.

"Ms. Xia, Li Hao has just been promoted. Don't you think that you two are becoming less and less compatible?"

Xia Rui's face darkened. This kind of provocation was what she could not stand the most.

She glared at Zhou Dan and said coldly: "A good dog doesn't block the road, get out of the way!"

Zhou Dan had no intention of moving aside, and even looked contemptuous, "Miss Xia, to put it nicely, you are the bar manager, who knows what shameful things you are doing in there, be sensible and get out of here."

When Xia Rui heard such insulting words, she immediately flew into a rage and slapped Zhou Dan in the face.

Snapped--

A crisp sound.

The entire floor fell silent, with only the sound of the slap echoing.

The colleagues around witnessed this scene, gasped, and were secretly surprised.

The deputy director’s girlfriend is too sharp.

Being seen by so many people, Zhou Dan immediately lost his face. He glared at Xia Rui and pointed at her with gritted teeth, "How dare you hit me! You beat up a civil servant. You don't want to work in Shenzhen anymore!"

Xia Rui looked at Zhou Dan coldly and smiled contemptuously: "You are such a bad mouth, a slap in the face is too light a punishment."

Zhou Dan was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted loudly: "If I don't put you in the detention center, I'm not named Zhou!"

Just as the two were arguing, a majestic shout was heard.

"What's going on with all the noise?" The director walked out of the crowd with a gloomy face.

The city secretary general happened to visit the unit today. When he saw this scene, the director felt ashamed and frowned.

Seeing this, everyone immediately made way for the other party.

As soon as Zhou Dan saw the director, he immediately went up to him to make his complaint as if he had found a savior.

"Captain, your subordinate was beaten!"

Xia Rui turned her head nonchalantly, and when she saw the person behind her, she immediately put on her sunglasses and turned her back to the person.

The secretary general was stunned for a moment, took a closer look, and immediately walked through the crowd and came to Xia Rui, "Miss Xia, why are you here?"

Xia Rui nodded awkwardly and said softly, "Hello, Secretary Zheng."

The director walked up to them and asked cautiously, "Who is this?"

The secretary general said, "The mayor's daughter! Her grandfather is Jiang Hongxi!"

The people around all widened their eyes and looked at each other, with shock in their eyes, as if saying: The deputy director’s girlfriend is so awesome!

When the director heard this, his face suddenly changed and he quickly walked towards Xia Rui, "Miss Xia, are you okay? Did she do anything?"

Xia Rui shook her head, "She has a foul mouth."

The director glared at Zhou Dan and said sternly, "Hurry up and apologize to Miss Xia."

Zhou Dan's face had already turned pale, and his legs were trembling slightly.

She never imagined that the woman she had always looked down upon was actually the mayor's daughter and the granddaughter of the richest man.

She couldn't help but feel scared, afraid that she would not be able to survive in Shenzhen or even in the whole country...

Zhou Dan said in a trembling voice: "Miss Xia, I...I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that to you."

Xia Rui was not moved by Zhou Dan's apology. She glanced at her calmly, turned around and said to the director, "Director, I'm sorry to bother you. I have something else to do. I'll leave now."

He nodded to Secretary Zheng again.

Then he walked away.

Li Hao didn't show up even though the incident had become so serious, so it was obvious that he was not at work.

Li Hao, where are you?

How long are you going to hide from me?

Is the relationship between us so fragile?

Xia Rui took out her cell phone and dialed...
