Huo Nanchen stroked Gu Ruochu's hair and stared at her with a gentle gaze. "I won't have time to pick you up after you finish filming your movie, so I'll ask Uncle Wang to do it. If you're bored, you can go out and shop with Yang Xi. You don't have to worry about An Shaosi. If you have any trouble at work, call me, and I'll help you settle it."
Gu Ruochu felt sad when she heard Huo Nanchen's instructions.
She nodded slowly and pushed up her blanket.
On seeing her reaction, Huo Nanchen sighed, "Ruochu."
"Hmm?"
He leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips. "Forget it. It's too early to make a promise. Let's wait and see how everything goes."
Huo Nanchen did not want to make a promise that he could not keep.
He turned off the lights and closed the bedroom door. Gu Ruochu thought that she would not be able to get any sleep after he left, but for some reason, she did not have any trouble falling asleep.
Huo Nanchen went into the garage and got into his Lamborgini before speeding out of the Huo residence.
As he drove along the dark highway, Huo Nanchen called Li Tezhu. His assistant answered the phone lazily, but Huo Nanchen asked him to wake up and meet up with him. He then sent the location of the meeting to Ning Tangxi.
Huo Nanchen still had a few questions regarding Yue Cheng.
Ning Tangxi was the person that Yue Cheng cared about the most. Huo Nanchen had been investigating for a long time, but it had been difficult to find Yue Cheng's exact whereabouts. He did not know why Yue Cheng was avoiding him.
Was Yue Cheng waiting for the right time to appear, or was there another reason for him to avoid contacting Huo Nanchen?
When his phone rang again, Huo Nanchen adjusted his Bluetooth headset.
"Nanchen, where are you now?" Ning Tangxi asked in an anxious voice. "I just chased Yue Cheng from my apartment, but I lost him when I reached the entrance of a nearby hotel!"
Huo Nanchen's nerves became tense. He stepped on the gas pedal of the Lamborghini, and it whizzed down the empty highway.
"Where are you? Send your location to my phone. I'm coming over now."
Ning Tangxi stopped crying and hung up the phone.
When Huo Nanchen saw the address that Ning Tangxi sent, he called Li Tezhu and told him of his intentions.
"Boss, I think you should think twice about what you are about to do."
Li Tezhu was shocked after he listened to Huo Nanchen's plan.
"Don't say anything. Listen to my instructions."
"Okay. But you have to be careful," Li Tezhu reminded him.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Nanchen arrived at the hotel that Ning Tangxi had told him about. She was sitting on the hotel steps crying with her phone in her hand.
She had taken off her high heels and placed them beside her.
"Nanchen, you're here!"
Ning Tangxi ran towards him with tears on her face. When she was a few steps away from him, she sobbed uncontrollably. "I chased him from my apartment, but I couldn't catch up to him. I don't know why he is avoiding me."
Huo Nanchen looked around, but he did not see anyone.
"Get in the car."
"Okay." Ning Tangxi opened the Lamborghini and sat in the passenger seat.
Huo Nanchen frowned for a moment, but when Ning Tangxi looked at him, he smiled. He got into the driver's seat and started the engine.
Although Huo Nanchen had not comforted her, seeing him smile made Ning Tangxi's heart palpitate. Was he warming up to her?
Ning Tangxi looked at his face with infatuation. Her eyes shone with a faint light that was as charming as a model in front of a camera.
