Chapter 1638: Chapter 1638: Everyone Gets a Bit Jittery Before the Wedding
Huh, he’s pretty fast.
The call came this quickly.
"She’s not here, no idea where she’s gone off to."
No idea where she’s gone off to...
"Ahem," Xue Mengmeng suddenly felt that was bad, and immediately added, "Actually what I meant was, she seems to be asleep."
She remembered what Youyou said just now, that she’d told Shen Lingfeng she was at home sleeping.
"She’s not at home." Shen Lingfeng’s voice was icy. "And she packed some things, took a suitcase with her."
Xue Mengmeng gave Youyou three seconds of silent mourning in her heart. This was some next-level observation.
"Heh heh heh, Shen Lingfeng, I heard you’ve been super busy lately. How come you’re not at the company right now?"
Just from her tone, Shen Lingfeng knew she was covering for Gu Ziyou. "Xue Mengmeng, where exactly did she go? What’s going on?"
Xue Mengmeng scratched her head. Dealing with this kind of thing, she was honestly speechless.
The guy just straight-up asked. If she told the truth, would that count as selling Youyou out?
But if she didn’t tell the truth... she had this feeling that no matter what she said, Shen Lingfeng would know it was fake.
"She’s fine..."
She really couldn’t tell him, "Your fiancée feels wiped out every day and wants to go back to her hometown for a little vacation."
If she said that and Shen Lingfeng ended up being too considerate, what if Youyou’s future sex life suffered for it?
She suddenly felt she was really thinking this through from all angles.
"Maybe she got up and went out to buy food... Hey, Shen Lingfeng, if you can’t find your own girlfriend, why don’t you call her?"
Shen Lingfeng let out a cold, certain-sounding snort. "Her? She doesn’t dare pick up."
In her heart, Xue Mengmeng despised Gu Ziyou’s cowardice a few times over, then suddenly thought of something. "How about this: give me a few days, I already bought a plane ticket, I’ll help you bring her back. As for my fee, we can talk about that later, yeah?"
Anyway, Youyou just wanted to rest for a few days. Who knows, maybe in less than two days she’d start missing him and tomorrow they’d come back together.
"A few days? Xue Mengmeng, did you say that wrong?"
"Come on, give her some space." Xue Mengmeng thought and thought and couldn’t come up with any other excuse. "A woman’s mentality is hard to grasp, okay? Every girl gets jittery before getting married. Bottom line, I’m taking leave to go bring her back for you!"
Her leave was already approved anyway. No matter what, if she came back together with Youyou, Shen Lingfeng would owe her one.
"Got it." Shen Lingfeng tossed out one last line and hung up.
She thought it over and still didn’t get it.
"Got it" — what was that supposed to mean?
Whatever. Xue Mengmeng finished arranging her leave, rushed home to throw a few clothes into a bag, and headed to the airport.
Gu Ziyou took a shower at the Gu Mansion, then came out to find a bunch of missed calls on her phone.
Most were from Shen Lingfeng, and a few from Mengmeng.
Just looking at them made her heart pound with fear.
In the end, when Mengmeng couldn’t get through to her, she sent a text saying what time her flight was.
Gu Ziyou checked the time and decided to go to the airport in person.
As for Shen Lingfeng’s calls, she felt way too guilty right now, so she’d better not return them yet.
She’d reply a bit later, pretend she’d already fallen asleep.
"What?" Hearing the bad news, Gu Ziyou pulled a long face. "He went back and already knows I’m not there?"
"What’s wrong?" Mengmeng, who had just arrived, didn’t get it.
"Ugh, why didn’t you say so earlier." Gu Ziyou pressed a hand to her forehead. "Before you came out, I checked the time and sent Shen Lingfeng a message saying I was asleep just now and didn’t hear the phone."
