Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me-Chapter 1396: Steady and Powerful Heartbeat

Seeing him fall asleep so quickly, Lu Wanwan quieted down.

She leaned against his chest without moving, even listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat made her feel at ease.

"Still haven’t found him? It’s already been an hour, you can’t even handle such a simple matter!"

"I’ll give you another hour at most, turn Manchester upside down if you have to but find the person!"

Lu Wanwan opened her eyes, unsure when Gu Annan had gotten up, his expression as cold as ice, each word sounding like an ice pick.

He paced back and forth, dragging the room’s atmosphere down with him.

"What happened?" She immediately got out of bed.

Anyone who made Gu Annan speak like this couldn’t be just any ordinary person.

He glanced at Lu Wanwan, hung up the phone, "It’s still early, go back to sleep for a while."

"Gu Annan, what happened!" Lu Wanwan grew anxious, immediately glancing at the phone on the bedside table, "It’s almost six o’clock."

Gu Annan’s face was somber, his thin lips tightly pressed together, saying nothing.

"Weren’t we supposed to have dinner together? It’s six now, you should have called me up long ago." She bit her lip, looking at him intently, speaking one word at a time, "Who’s missing? Is it Momo and Youyou again?"

He had said he would bring the two children back today, planning a family dinner.

At this time, Momo and Youyou should have already returned.

"It’s not them." Gu Annan pressed her shoulders, speaking in a steady voice, "They’ve been brought back a while ago, I didn’t let them in."

Lu Wanwan paused for a moment, "It’s Dad."

He said calmly, "Aunt Li said he took a break and then said he was going out for a walk, so she gave him a car key. He hasn’t returned since, and he didn’t take his phone. I’ve dispatched people to search for an hour and haven’t found him yet. I don’t know where he drove to. But I think he just wants some time alone to think. Don’t worry, nothing will happen to Xie Liancheng here."

"When he went to the Ye Mansion today, he seemed a bit off." Lu Wanwan took a deep breath and slowly sat on the edge of the bed, "He even gave me a photo to return to my mother. He only has two photos in total, one of them together and one of my mother alone. I guess it’s still about that issue."

"Change clothes first, any news will come through immediately. He just can’t figure things out for the moment. It’s normal to feel this way when visiting the Ye Mansion. Years of unresolved knots can’t be untied so easily."

Lu Wanwan recalled the look in his eyes when he couldn’t forgive himself, feeling uneasy inside.

Her feelings toward Xie Liancheng were complicated, sometimes even unsure herself if she really didn’t care about what he did to the Ye Family.

But seeing him live in self-blame all these years, and with not much time left, blaming him seemed meaningless.

"Did they check the graveyard?" Lu Wanwan asked, having changed her clothes and walked out of the closet.

Gu Annan had just buttoned his shirt when he heard her, and immediately dialed his phone, "Check the graveyard..."

"Wait, take me with you."

The graveyard under the dusk was quiet and peaceful.

Xie Liancheng stood in front of the tombstone, quietly looking at the photo on it.

"Young Master Gu, we saw that Mr. Liancheng was fine, so we didn’t disturb him," the subordinates who arrived first spoke up.

Gu Annan nodded, and whispered to Lu Wanwan, "Go on over."
