Chapter 2114: Chapter 2117: Are You Siblings Playing Hide-and-Seek with Me Again?
Alright, Sheng Sheng had no choice but to accept Zun Zun’s theory, but he was busy too. After this one visit, he didn’t get a chance to meet Maimai again over the next month.
He had just taken over the airline company handed down by his father, and he was still in the research and exploration phase, getting familiar with the company’s operations. As for Precious Heart, he completely handed it over to Yang Fan to manage, since he wasn’t very interested in this field; it was entirely for Maimai that Precious Heart was established. Currently, with Precious Heart’s normal operations, he could let go and just ensure quality control.
Maimai spent her days filming, and aside from texting and long phone calls with him, she devoted almost all her thoughts to the movie.
Director Feng was meticulous in filmmaking, and she was equally meticulous with her own role, delving into the female lead almost to the point of obsession. She was so invested that she sometimes struggled to differentiate between the roles in the film and real life. Even her manager noticed something was off.
The manager had reminded her several times, but Maimai didn’t pay much attention and continued to focus intensely on the female lead. The deeper she studied, the less she wanted to talk; aside from filming, she spent her other time alone. Normally bubbly and cheerful, she sat quietly in a way that was astonishing; only when texting did she seem lively.
...
A month later, Sheng Sheng had just landed in Los Angeles, feeling extraordinarily uplifted. He got off the plane and headed straight to Maimai’s house, eager to see her like a couple in love, wanting to hold her and kiss her thoroughly.
Because he had called in the morning to know that Maimai only had a morning scene today, there were no scenes scheduled for her in the afternoon or the following week. They had almost finished filming in Los Angeles and would go to Melbourne next, with a week-long break in between.
He flamboyantly drove his car to Maimai’s villa, only to find it in complete darkness.
Sheng Sheng had secretly made a copy of her house keys long ago. He took out the keys to unlock the door, planning to surprise her, but the bedroom was empty.
So late and she wasn’t home?
Sheng Sheng furrowed his brows.
Could she still be filming with the crew?
Sheng Sheng took out his phone and dialed a number, knowing she only had a morning scene and had left the crew in the afternoon. He immediately called her manager.
The manager said Maimai had gone home early and should be there.
Sheng Sheng furrowed his brows again. Could she be at Wenqing’s villa?
However, Sheng Sheng drove to Wenqing’s villa, only to find a servant who said Maimai hadn’t come over. Wenqing was filming night scenes and hadn’t returned.
How strange, in the middle of the night, it’s past eleven, where could she have gone?
He knew Maimai’s daily routine; when she wasn’t filming, she definitely went to bed early and woke up early, taking great care of herself. She would never be out of the house at this hour, yet her phone was turned off, unreachable, leaving Sheng Sheng’s face darkening with a touch of worry creeping onto his brow.
This late and still not home, could something have happened?
Two hours later, his people had turned all of San Francisco upside down, but still no trace of Maimai.
He finally couldn’t sit still, as Sheng Sheng had an ominous feeling.
Wenqing rushed back home, and as soon as he entered the door, he anxiously questioned Sheng Sheng, "Maimai is missing?"
Sheng Sheng steadied himself, his heart hanging tightly. Even Wenqing couldn’t contact Maimai; his genuine worry was evident, suggesting Maimai was definitely out of contact with everyone.
