Zheng Yao felt extremely nauseous, but she had to endure it.

After a long while, he said, "I'm happy if Song Mai is not doing well. As long as I'm happy, I can do whatever you want me to do."

That night, Fan Ruifeng called his secretary and asked him to check Song Mai's personal information and which company she was working for.

Zheng Yao was tortured until late at night before being released by Fan Ruifeng.

Fan Ruifeng is middle-aged and seldom exercises. Naturally, he cannot match the young people in terms of physical strength and energy. Zheng Yao originally thought that she only needed to serve him a little.

I didn't expect that after being with him I would find out that he had some shameful special habits. After just a few days, Zheng Yao's body was covered with bruises and scars.

Fortunately, it is late autumn now and I am wearing more clothes, so the wound is covered and no one can see it.

But every time she took off her clothes and looked at the scars on her body in the mirror, she couldn't help but think of Fan Ruifeng's disgusting and hideous face.

She even felt that she was dirty.

After Song Mai returned home, she washed and dried the clothes she bought for him, and then ironed them with a hanging iron before putting them in the man's closet. She turned on her mobile phone and wanted to send him a message, but found that Chu Xing had not sent her a single message.

Song Mai couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He simply threw his phone aside, pulled the quilt over his head, and prepared to fall asleep.

The night in late autumn was very cold. Song Mai lay in bed for a long time but still felt that the bed was too cold and had no temperature.

She tucked the corner of the quilt in tightly, turned over and saw that the bed beside her was empty, and her heart was empty and confused.

The bed had never seemed so big to her before he shared it with her.

After an unknown amount of time, Song Mai finally fell into a deep sleep.

Half asleep and half awake, she seemed to hear her cell phone vibrating. She struggled for a long time before getting up from the bed and picking up the phone on the bedside table.

Song Mai casually pressed the answer button, but after picking up the phone, he found that the person calling was Chu Xing, and it was a video call.

Under the dim desk lamp, the woman had sleepy eyes and her hair was a little messy. It was obvious that she was woken up by the phone call.

Song Mai rubbed his eyes so that he could see the screen of his mobile phone clearly.

Chu Xing was sitting on a chair, and the background seemed to be in a hotel.

He looked tired and his complexion was not very good. He looked much more haggard than last weekend.

"Sorry to disturb your rest."

Song Mai shook her head. She had originally blamed him for not contacting her, but when she saw him like this, the blame instantly disappeared, and all that was left was heartache.

She was too ignorant of the seriousness of the matter. He was in the early stages of starting his business, and his company's business had just stabilized. He must be very busy. Judging from his appearance, he must have not slept for several days.

She blamed him for not contacting her, but at the same time she didn't care about him, right?

"Why aren't you asleep yet? It's already late."

Song Mai looked at him quietly, and seeing that he was still wearing early autumn clothes, she couldn't help but become even more worried.

She didn't know where he was, or whether it was cold where he was. It seemed that she knew nothing about him.

Chu Xing leaned back in his chair, and the camera flashed to a pile of documents on the table next to him, with the laptop screen still on.

"I just finished my work. It's a little late now. I didn't want to disturb your sleep, but I missed you and couldn't help but call you."

Song Mai's little face was flushed red, and she was curled up in the quilt with only her head showing. She looked small and very cute.

Hearing his words, the woman was obviously stunned for a moment, as if she didn't react. Then two blushes suddenly appeared on her cheeks, and she was full of embarrassment.

It turned out that he was thinking about her too. Hearing his words, Song Mai's heart was filled with sweetness, as if she had eaten a piece of it, sweet and soft.

Originally she thought that she was the only one thinking about him and he had no time to think about her.

"Are you busy recently?"

The man pinched his eyebrows, his eyes full of bloodshot.

"Yeah, I'm very busy. I'm too busy to call you or send you a message, unlike someone who has time but doesn't know how to call or send me a message."

In fact, not only did he have no time to make phone calls or send messages, he almost skipped sleep. The few meals he had were all with his partners, and he was basically working the rest of the time. Sometimes he would sleep for a while on the road when he could not hold on any longer. He only slept for two or three hours a night.

Even so, he would still think of her in the gaps of time, when he was on the bus, before going to bed, while eating, and even when he was working. He would wonder what she was doing, whether she was eating, sleeping, or working, and whether she had encountered any problems at work.

Has she adapted to Yunxing? Has anyone in Yunxing caused her any trouble?

He had a lot to say to her, but this woman was so heartless that he had no time to contact her, but she could bear not to send him a single message.

Hearing this, Song Mai avoided his gaze with embarrassment. It was not that she didn't want to contact him, but that she was holding back her temper.

But now that he mentioned it, she couldn't admit that she actually felt that he had ignored her and was a little unhappy.

"I...I'm busy too."

Chu Xing frowned immediately when he heard this.

"Is Yunxing so busy? Didn't you just start working? Did someone bully you and throw a lot of work at you?"

He had clearly instructed Special Assistant Lu to keep an eye on her and not let the people in the translation department bully her or assign her too much work. Now she was so busy that she didn't even have time to contact him. What on earth was Special Assistant Lu doing?

Did you turn a deaf ear to his words?

Seeing that he was angry, Song Mai quickly explained:

"No, it's not, it's not what you think."

"What's that like?"

Looking at Song Mai's hesitation, Chu Xing looked puzzled.

Song Mai felt guilty when he stared at her. She felt that even though she didn't say anything, he could see through her thoughts.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I, I miss you too, but you seem to be very busy, always very busy, too busy to pay attention to me, and your replies to my messages are as brief as they can be, as if you don't want to pay attention to me. I called you, but you said you were in a meeting and didn't answer. Later, you didn't call back. I thought I might have disturbed you, so I didn't call you again."

Her voice was low, and it was not known whether it was because she was woken up in the middle of her sleep, but to the man's ears it seemed to tremble with a hint of grievance and pity.

Chu Xing was silent for a few seconds.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I was just really busy and neglected these things. It's my fault. I will pay more attention next time."

He called her tonight and said he missed her. Song Mai saw with her own eyes how tired he was, and the dissatisfaction and grievance in her heart had long disappeared.
