Chapter 257: Chapter 256: Have You Been Kidnapped?
After finishing speaking, she felt she was talking nonsense. Tong Xi’s words just now made it clear that Nuannuan wasn’t with her.
"Nope." Tong Xi finally calmed down, furrowing her eyebrows in confusion: "Could she be with her mentor? She’s really close to Lin Xue. If not, maybe with Tan Qing... oh no, I’m just guessing."
Tong Xi tightly covered her mouth.
Why did she bring up Tan Qing in front of Leng Yan, he’s Leng Yan’s rival in love. Great, she must be getting stupid from the script.
Tong Xi also knew about Tan Qing and Nuannuan’s relationship!
Leng Yan furrowed his eyebrows tightly and took a deep breath to calm himself: "No."
This wasn’t the time for him to be angry, his biggest task now was to find Nuannuan, to make sure she was safe and sound.
"Then I don’t know, Nuannuan might have gone to eat some dessert. Sometimes, after work, she would eat something before going home." Tong Xi scratched her head, speculating.
After hanging up the phone, she picked up her script but couldn’t hear a word. She frowned, thinking about places Wen Nuan might go, when her phone suddenly rang again. It was a completely unfamiliar number.
How strange, why are there so many random calls today?
Tong Xi looked at the phone number and couldn’t help pouting, but she still answered.
"Xixi, come out to the gate of the neighborhood, remember to bring your wallet." Wen Nuan’s voice came through, scaring her pale: "Nuannuan?"
"Yes, it’s me." Wen Nuan replied, sitting in the taxi, giving the driver an apologetic smile.
She had run out of money, and after paying the fare to the Wen Family, she had only five bucks left, which simply wasn’t enough.
"What happened?"
Tong Xi, wearing slippers, started looking for her wallet, her face turning even paler: "Dear lady, were you kidnapped?"
Leng Yan said he couldn’t find her just now, and now she’s calling for money. Her normally active mind instantly thought of this.
Pfft~
Wen Nuan couldn’t help but burst out laughing: "If I were kidnapped, I wouldn’t call you. I just don’t have cash to pay the taxi."
"True." Tong Xi laughed herself, grabbing her wallet and putting on her shoes, joking as she went: "If it were a kidnapping, they’d call your husband directly, why would I have to worry about such things."
Husband...
Upon hearing this word, a bitter smile spread across Wen Nuan’s lips. Handing her phone to the taxi driver, Wen Nuan was very apologetic: "Please wait a moment, my friend will be here soon."
"No worries, but you finally smiled, are you feeling better?" The driver received it with a smile, asking her.
"Yeah." Wen Nuan nodded, not wanting to say more.
In truth, she only laughed because of Tong Xi’s joke, but her heart was still sour.
She was feeling very upset, hoping to use Tong Xi’s place as a temporary refuge and maybe feel better after chatting with her.
"Oh dear, Miss Wen, Mrs. Leng, it’s so rare to see you troubled by money? Tsk tsk, what an unusual event." Tong Xi paid the fare, watched the driver leave, and teased her.
"Xixi." Wen Nuan suddenly felt like crying.
"What’s wrong, Nuannuan?"
Wen Nuan’s voice had a faint sob, startling Tong Xi, recalling Leng Yan’s phone call earlier, her heart suddenly tightened: "Leng Yan called earlier saying he couldn’t find you, Nuannuan, did something happen to you?"
Otherwise, how could she be in such dire straits?
Tong Xi guessed again: "Were you robbed? Lost both your phone and wallet?"
That’s why the call couldn’t connect, and you couldn’t pay the fare, right?
