The Sweetest ‘Fake’ Couple

Chapter 64 - Runaway (3)

Listening to Qiao Jiayi’s words, Chi Chenyan closed his eyes, and only said: “Lu Li’s gone.”

Qiao Jiayi was startled: “What? Gone?!”

Chi Chenyan: “Do you know where she went, or where she might be? Did she tell you?”

Qiao Jiayi: “I don’t know! She didn’t tell me!”

Chi Chenyan: “Okay, thank you. I will look for her now.”

Qiao Jiayi: “Me too.”

Chi Chenyan hung up.

He squeezed the phone tightly to calm himself down.

Lu Li had just left the house and couldn’t have gone far.

Chi Chenyan immediately called Assistant Zhou again and asked him to check Lu Li’s whereabouts.

Chi Chenyan also drove around to find her, and kept calling Lu Li through the bluetooth headset.

The sky darkened a little bit, and the street lights were lit up one by one.

He parked the car on the side of the road and punched the steering wheel with his fist.

Finding someone is not difficult, unless that person is hiding deliberately and doesn’t want to be found.

He was thinking about what Lu Li would do if she doesn’t want to be found, along, and probably in danger.

She was always accompanied by the driver and Qian Yong whenever she goes out, and she probably didn’t know that there is a night subway in City S.

Whether is was the former Lu Li or the person she is now, Chi Chenyan knew that she had never met a bad person when she grew up, so she might get deceived.

At this time, his phone rang.

Chi Chenyan immediately answered.

It was Assistant Zhou. He has found his wife’s whereabouts and checked in with her own ID two hours ago in a five-star hotel not far away from Suhe Bay.

After a brief report, Assistant Zhou sent Chi Chenyan the address of the hotel and Lu Li’s room number.

Chi Chenyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since she checked in with her ID, it proved that she did not intent to hide from him.

But why didn’t answer her phone.

Chi Chenyan didn’t think much about it and drove straight to the location of the hotel.

He had just started the car when his phone rang again.

Chi Chenyan answered.

This time, there was a soft voice on the line: “Husband.”

…

Lu Li sat in the hotel room.

She was silent for a long time as she listened to the countless missed calls on her mobile phone, and then decided to call.

She didn’t want to ran away from home, nor did she want to hide. She just wanted to calm down by herself.

She didn’t want others to worry about her.

So she called Chi Chenyan.

Chi Chenyan finally heard Lu Li’s voice, and after the initial joy, he felt as if his chest was stuffed with a damp cloth.

“You are at X Hotel, right? Wait for a bit, I’ll come over right away,” he said.

“No, don’t!” As soon as Lu Li heard this, she refused and didn’t know why but when she heard her husband’s voice, her tears uncontrollably fell again.

While wiping her tears with the back of her hand, she said: “Woo… husband, don’t come over here…”

She cried until she couldn’t catch her breath, and started to hiccup: “I didn’t want… woo… run away from home… hiccup… don’t come over to find me… I… I just want to… woo… to be alone for a while…”

“Let’s just… woo… hiccup… calm down… for a moment… okay…”
