While I was concentrating on selecting documents, the phone on my desk suddenly rang.

"Ring ring ring."

Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, Xia Chuwei was startled by the sudden ringtone.

Her heart was pounding, and it took her a while to calm down.

When she took the phone and saw the words "Huo Yunting" flashing on the screen, Xia Chuwei's fingers tightened.

Just as the phone was about to hang up automatically, Xia Chuwei finally answered the call.

"...Yunting."

Her voice was very soft, and the fingers holding the phone were shaking violently.

"Mama Lin said you ate very little today." The man's voice, as cold as a spring, sounded from the other end of the phone. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, it's just... I didn't sleep well yesterday."

"Having a nightmare again?"

"Um."

"Why do you suddenly have nightmares when you are so good?" Huo Yunting's voice became lowered, "I will ask Dr. Liu to come over and take a look at you later."

Dr. Liu is the psychiatrist who has been providing psychological counseling for Xia Chuwei.

Hearing the man's caring words, Xia Chuwei's eyes felt a little sour, and she felt like crying.

"Maybe...maybe it's because you suddenly went on a business trip, and I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Huo Yunting was silent for a few seconds, "I will finish the matter here as soon as possible and go back early."

Looking at Huo Yunting's computer screen, Xia Chuwei felt even more uncomfortable.

She whispered: "What happened the day before yesterday... I'm really sorry. I forgot our anniversary and ignored your feelings."

"I am not angry."

"I know...if you were angry, you wouldn't send someone to help me."

Huo Yunting's voice was clear and sweet, "Well, if there is anything you can't solve over there, you can call me at any time."

Huo Yunting's voice seemed to have the power to stabilize people's hearts, and Xia Chuwei's restless heart gradually calmed down.

"good."

After chatting for a few more words, Xia Chuwei hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Chuwei sat back on the man's chair as if she was exhausted.

Guilt, heartache, sadness and other emotions swept over her and almost overwhelmed her.

After turning off Huo Yunting's computer, Xia Chuwei prepared to leave the study.

Just after taking two steps, Xia Chuwei suddenly thought of something.

She turned back again.

After hesitating for a while, Xia Chuwei opened Huo Yunting's drawer.

Her goal was clear, and she directly opened the drawer on the third floor.

She remembered clearly that there was a pen, a wallet, a photo, a watch and a pair of rings in this drawer.

Now, the drawer is empty, there is nothing left.

Xia Chuwei didn't give up and opened the first and second drawers.

The drawers on the first and second floors contain nothing except working documents.

Did he move all that stuff...?

Some strange emotions emerged in Xia Chuwei's heart, and she left the study.

...

At eight o'clock in the evening, Xia Chuwei arrived at the hotel on time.

The room was still the same as yesterday, dark and gloomy.

Xia Chuwei handed the USB flash drive in her hand to the man, "This is the file I copied from his computer."

The man took the USB flash drive and said calmly: "Wait for me for a while."

He didn't seem to be afraid that she would take the opportunity to escape. After saying this, he left her alone in the living room and walked into the bedroom.

About ten minutes later, the man walked out of the bedroom.
