The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Lin Xinxin Not Answering Phone Calli

Translator: 549690339

“…I understand.’1 Lin Xinxin spoke painfully and then hung up the phone.

Dongfang Yu’s expression became grave.

Seeing him like this, Hai Xiaotang said lightly, “If you have something to do, go ahead, I don’t need you to worry about me.”

Dongfang Yu stood up and said, “I’m going to make a call.”

After stating this, he turned and left. Hai Xiaotang was a little puzzled, not knowing exactly what had happened.

But judging from his demeanor, it didn’t seem like something good had occurred.

Dongfang Yu left to call Lin Xinxin, intending to ask her about what was happening. But the call went unanswered.

He tried calling twice, but Lin Xinxin didn’t answer either time.

Even his calls weren’t being answered, clearly something was wrong…

Dongfang Yu furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat worried, not about Lin Xinxin, but about whatever event that had transpired that he didn’t know about.

But as Lin Xinxin wasn’t answering her phone, he had no way of finding out.

Hai Xiaotang continued to eat. Soon Dongfang Yu returned.

He sat down beside her with a casual expression and volunteered saying, “I have no issues, I will sit with you while you finish breakfast, then I can take you to school.”

Setting down her chopsticks, Hai Xiaotang said, “I’m full. You can eat. I’ll go to school myself.”

“I’ll take you.” Dongfang Yu stated unequivocally.

Then, without having his breakfast, he took her to school.

The car quickly reached the school gate, and as Hai Xiaotang unbuckled her seatbelt and reached for the door, her wrist was suddenly caught.

Confused, she looked back, “What are you doing?”

Dongfang Yu’s gaze was deep as he tried to come up with something to say but failed.

After a moment of silence, he said softly, “Don’t force yourself too hard with your studies, you’re only a freshman, there’s plenty of time to learn.”

“I know what I’m doing,” Hai Xiaotang responded flatly.

“When are you coming home? I’ll pick you up for dinner.”

“No need, stop doing this!” Hai Xiaotang withdrew her hand, got out of the car, and without looking back, walked into the school gate.

Dongfang Yu watched her retreating figure, only now understanding how hateful his past indifference towards her was.

But he didn’t mind her current attitude towards him, he believed that with time, she would eventually change her mind.

However, the next second, he thought of Lin Xinxin.

Dongfang Yu called her again, but there was still no response.

His intuition told him that something bad had happened to Lin Xinxin, perhaps something related to him…

Hai Xiaotang was studying diligently in the library.

Though it was Saturday, the library was still full of people.

After studying for a bit, bored, she picked her phone to chat with Qiao Ning.

[Qiao Ning, what are you doing? Are you coming to the library today?]

It took Qiao Ning a while to reply. [I won’t be coming, I have a bit of a cold today, are you at the library?]

[Yes. How did you catch a cold? Is it serious?]

[I’m fine, I just need some rest.]

[Well, take more rest and get well soon.]

[Thankyou, Xiaotang, you too must not be too hard on yourself, take care of your health.]

[Okay, I will. I won’t disturb you anymore, rest well. I

[Okay.]

After putting down her phone, Hai Xiaotang continued to study until lunch, when she went to the cafeteria. Then, she returned to the library.

Hai Xiaotang never thought that one day she would put so much effort into her studies.

She used to think that, for her whole life, all her time and passion would be given only to Dongfang Yu.

Now when she remembers her past obsession with Dongfang Yu, she finds it laughable.

Soon, she began thinking again about what Dongfang Yu had said to her the previous night…
