The next day, Chanel was awakened by the servant's knock on the door.
She opened her eyes drowsily and saw Su Shijie getting dressed with his back to her.
Normally, when Su Shijie was resting, the servants never dared to disturb him unless it was something important. Moreover, Chanel subconsciously looked at the clock, and it was around 4 in the morning.
Chanel sat up, and her voice alarmed Su Shijie.
He turned around, saw her, and frowned: "Why did you wake up?"
Chanel ignored him and looked out the window.
It was still completely dark, the light in the bedroom was warm but could not penetrate, and it was pitch black outside the glass window.
Despite this, the sound of rain and wind can still be heard. After the weather turns cold these days, it is always windy and rainy.
Su Shijie put on a wool sweater over his shirt, picked up the coat, hooked it on his wrist, then walked to the bed, held Chanel's chin, and asked her to look at him.
He leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead:
"It's still early, let's sleep some more."
Chanel closed her eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him, ignoring his tenderness.
He stroked her hair, said nothing, turned and left the bedroom.
Chanel was actually still sleepy. Seeing that it was still early, she lay down to sleep again.
Drowsily, I heard the voices of Aunt Li and Su Shijie walking away from the corridor:
"It's a call from the Mu family..."
Chanel was only half conscious at this time. When she woke up, it was already past 11 o'clock. If Aunt Li hadn't knocked on the door and asked her to go to lunch, she might have been able to sleep.
She is really lethargic.
It was still raining outside and the sky was dark, it looked like six o'clock in the morning.
Chanel washed up casually and walked down. Suddenly she remembered what Aunt Li said before she fell asleep, so she called Aunt Li over to ask.
"Who called this morning?"
Aunt Li's eyes flickered and she immediately changed the topic. Next, Chanel asked her several times, but she was unwilling to say more.
Mujia?
Su Shijie and Mu Xicheng are good friends, is it Mu Xicheng?
Chanel suddenly had a bad feeling, got up and ran to the bedroom.
I slept in Su Shijie's bedroom last night. I put my phone in Xia Xiner's bedroom and didn't take it with me...
In fact, even if he was brought there, it would be impossible to answer the phone under those circumstances.
Shanel bit her lip and quickly pulled out her phone - how could she forget that she promised Assistant Zheng that she would wait for Mu Xicheng's call.
Sure enough, the phone showed more than a dozen missed calls, all from Mu Xicheng's number.
Chanel locked the door, walked to the bathroom and dialed back the phone.
This was the first time she took the initiative to call Mu Xicheng. She seemed to have become accustomed to Mu Xicheng taking the initiative in everything. She just had to wait...
I almost forgot that if she wanted to contact her, she could call him.
However, after ringing for a long time, no one answered.
Suddenly there were two thunders outside, and they flashed past the window. Chanel was startled and her phone fell to the ground.
She didn't know why, but she always had a bad feeling.
In addition, it was cloudy, windy, raining, and thundering outside, which made her feel gloomy and extremely nervous.
After more than 10 more calls but no one answered, Chanel became even more panicked. After thinking about it, she called Su Shijie——
The phone was quickly picked up, and what came from the other side was a loud, harsh sound, as well as mournful music.
