The cell phone kept ringing, and kept ringing, for a long time. It hung up automatically after a minute, but no one answered.
Shen Yi felt even more panicked and irritable. He dialed the phone again and got off the bed.
Only this time the call was still not connected.
Shen Yi had completely forgotten that it was past midnight, and Ye Wanwan would habitually mute his cell phone when he went to bed. It was normal that he couldn't get through.
Assistant Chen's room was opposite Shen Yi. Shen Yi went directly to the corridor in his pajamas, holding a mobile phone in one hand while making calls, and knocking on the door hard with the other hand.
Assistant Chen's voice soon came from the guest room, with a bit of anger, "Who is it!"
"Assistant Chen, it's me." Shen Yi said in a deep voice.
The guest room became quiet. After another ten seconds, the guest room door was opened. Assistant Chen looked at the people outside the door sleepily. He rubbed his eyes and cheered up.
"Manager Shen, it's so late, has something happened?" Assistant Chen knew that something big must have happened when he saw their manager's gloomy look!
He has worked with Manager Shen for many years and knows Manager Shen's temperament. He has always been calm and collected in situations. He has never seen Manager Shen look so panicked.
"Book a flight, I want to go back now!" Shen Yi said solemnly.
Assistant Chen was stunned, wouldn't the contract be signed tomorrow? Why should we leave now?
But looking at Manager Shen's expression, Assistant Chen wisely chose to obey, "I'll order now."
Manager Shen turned around and went back to get his cell phone. Shen Yi stood at the door of the guest room and continued to make calls.
It still rang for a long time. Just when Shen Yi thought no one would answer the phone, Ye Wanwan's vague voice came from the phone: "Hello."
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, wondering if he was hallucinating, and tentatively called out: "Wanwan?"
"Um?"
Ye Wanwan's voice was very soft. It was obvious that she was still half asleep and half awake, and was just responding subconsciously.
Ye Wanwan waited for a while, but didn't hear the other party's voice and almost fell asleep again. Fortunately, she was still on the phone in her consciousness.
She suddenly came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and her voice was no longer so unclear, "Shen Yi, what's wrong? You haven't rested so late?"
Shen Yi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. He told her that he had a nightmare. Did he dream that she was dead?
Ye Wanwan still didn't hear Shen Yi speak. Did he put his phone on the bed while sleeping and accidentally overwhelm it?
But she clearly heard Shen Yi calling her before, so Ye Wanwan raised the phone to her mouth and shouted in a long voice: "Shen Yi, Shen Yi, are you there?"
"Yes, I'm here." Shen Yi responded in a low voice.
"What's the matter with calling me so late?" Ye Wanwan glanced at her phone. It was almost two o'clock in the morning, and Shen Yi had called her many times.
Shen Yi's Adam's apple rolled, and after a few seconds he said: "It's nothing, I just miss you a little."
Ye Wanwan was stunned. She obviously didn't expect Shen Yi to say such words and tell her he missed her so straightforwardly.
Shen Yi called Ye Wanwan's cell phone to make sure that she was fine now. He should have breathed a sigh of relief, but Ye Wanwan's silence made him feel very uncomfortable.
