Priceless New Bride: Accidentally Offending The Dangerous CEO

Chapter 272: Ominous Hunch (3)

She could still call him 20 minutes ago and yet, his mobile phone was now switched off. In other words, he deliberately chose not to pick up 20 minutes ago and then switched off his mobile phone.

She was suddenly overwhelmed with an ominous feeling because Rong Yan would not switch off his mobile phone for no reason.

Luo Anning suddenly sat up and browsed through her call log. After finding Xu Zhiyuan’s number, she hesitated for a moment and called.

The call went through after a long while.

Luo Anning asked with a sullen expression, “Xu Zhiyuan, where is Rong Yan?”

“... Young Madam, Young Master Rong worked till midnight yesterday. He’s probably still sleeping. Why are you looking for him?”

“Yeah, there’s something urgent to settle.” Feeling apprehensive about Xu Zhiyuan’s words, she said, “Could you go to his room and call him? I need to speak to him urgently.”

She could still hear the footsteps amidst the miscellaneous sounds, followed by Rong Yan’s voice. He sounded rather fatigued.

“Anning, what happened?”

Luo Anning bit her lip tightly, ashamed of her suspicion just now, for he sounded extremely exhausted. She reckoned that he had not had enough rest since Xu Zhiyuan mentioned that he had been working until the wee hours of the night.

Slowly, Luo Anning adjusted her breathing before saying softly, “It’s okay. I just called you a few times but you didn’t answer. Your mobile was then switched off. I was worried about you so I called Xu Zhiyuan.”

“Yeah.” Rong Yan’s voice was deep and hoarse, and he stayed silent for a long while before saying, “Anning, if there’s nothing else, just hang up, it’s almost time for me to go to the office.”

“... Okay, you go ahead. Take care of your health. Bye.”

“... Okay.”

Just like that, the two hung up and Luo Anning suddenly felt empty and dejected. He was acting out of the ordinary and was not as enthusiastic as he was two days ago.

He did not bother forcing her to tell him that she missed him, nor did he say goodbye to her...

It was not that she was sensitive but rather, she had gotten used to the little things and the quirky antics of his. Now that he had suddenly stopped, she could definitely feel the difference.

...

Luo Anning waited for him dejectedly. On Monday, Luo Anning went to the office for work as usual.

However, everyone in the planning department knew that when the CEO left for a business trip, Luo Anning lost her enthusiasm for work.

Luo Anning went to a western restaurant near the office for lunch.

After she placed her order, the waitress quickly served the food. She looked down and ate it before grabbing a glass of water.

Suddenly, her glass was snatched away and as soon as she looked up, the glass of water was splashed onto her face.

Luo Anning took a deep breath and wiped the water off her face. Still unsatisfied, Li Yulan grabbed the glass and smashed it against her.

Luo Anning subconsciously cocked her head towards the side but still did not manage to dodge. The glass hit her forehead before slipping onto the ground and shattering into bits.

“Have you had enough?” Luo Anning glared daggers at her while wiping the blood off of her forehead.

Li Yulan pointed at the tip of her nose and shouted in disregard of everything else around her. “Luo Anning, you shameless woman! After you married Rong Yan, you continuously attacked us. First, you framed Xinya and put her behind bars. Yet, you still weren’t satisfied. Now, you’ve even attacked Shaodong! You’re so shameless. What did you do to Shaodong? Tell me, tell me!”

Li Yulan was so emotional and agitated that she rushed forward in a bid to grab Luo Anning but was stopped by both the security officer and the manager of the restaurant.

Seeing that Luo Anning was injured, he frantically apologized, “Young Madam, I’m very sorry. It was our mistake, which caused you trouble and got you injured. I’m terribly sorry!”
