His attitude towards him was clearly indifferent.
Qing Muye naturally sensed her emotions. His sword-like brows furrowed, his lips pursed into a straight line. After a moment, he said, "I will handle your affairs properly. What happened today will never happen again."
His solemn promise finally touched Meng Jingwei.
She turned her head, blinked her long, curled eyelashes, and looked up to kiss the man's face, which was close at hand. "Thank you for your trouble."
"Silly girl, your affairs are my affairs. What trouble?"
Qing Muye placed his hand on her cheek and then kissed her lips.
But as his lips touched hers, tasting the sweetness of her lips, he greedily sucked gently.
As they kissed, a fire seemed to rage in his heart.
Qing Muye regained his senses and immediately let go of her. "You're truly poisonous."
He reached out and pinched her face, then brushed a strand of hair from her forehead. "I really have to go now. Call me if anything comes up."
"Be careful on your way, call me if anything happens." Meng Jingwei got out of bed. Seeing Qing Muye walk out, she walked out of the bedroom in slippers, her heart filled with worry.
*Click.*
As soon as she stepped out of the bedroom, she heard the sound of the door closing outside.
In the empty living room, Qing Muye was nowhere to be seen. He had already left in a hurry.
It was likely that something important had happened in Lancheng.
In the evening, Meng Jingwei, Shen Liannuo, and Song Jun ate something casual together at the hotel restaurant.
Afterward, the two girls chatted in Meng Jingwei's room.
*Buzzz–*
Just as Shen Liannuo was chatting happily, Meng Jingwei's phone vibrated.
She picked up her phone and glanced at it. It was Lu Sen calling. Without hesitation, she answered, "The film crew just called saying Su Meiyi is missing. Do you know where she is?"
On the other end of the line, Lu Sen asked anxiously.
"Su..."
Meng Jingwei was about to say something when she instinctively glanced at Shen Liannuo and immediately changed her words. "I don't know."
"Okay, then I'll keep looking." Lu Sen hung up the phone.
Meng Jingwei put her phone down on the sofa beside her and continued chatting with Shen Liannuo. "What were you saying? You said you want to go out and make your own way next year?"
Shen Liannuo: "Yes, I can't always be clinging to you guys, can I?"
Hearing her words, Meng Jingwei glared at her. "Are you crazy? Do you think He Ka Yian gave you too much money and you're uncomfortable until you've spent it all?"
"Not exactly. Oh, I was just thinking about it." Shen Liannuo patted Meng Jingwei. "Look how nervous you are."
"You'd better abandon your unrealistic thoughts." Meng Jingwei shook her head, thinking Shen Liannuo's idea was a bit naive.
After chatting for a while longer, Meng Jingwei deliberately yawned a few times. "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep. Let's talk again tomorrow."
"It's only this time and you're already sleepy?" Shen Liannuo complained. "As expected, when you're sick, your body is weak. Tsk tsk, if you don't take good care of yourself, you might not be able to withstand Qing Muye's 'torment', right?"
She raised an eyebrow, smiled, and got up. "You sleep, I'll go back to my room."
"What are you talking about? Your mind is full of vulgar thoughts." Meng Jingwei was amused and speechless.
She got up to see Shen Liannuo out of the living room, then closed the door.
Returning to the sofa, Meng Jingwei picked up her phone and immediately called Zhang Hui. "Immediately find out where Qing Muye's people took Su Meiyi."
Zhang Hui and Qi He were both her capable assistants, her left and right hands. Meng Jingwei trusted their abilities more.
The other party acknowledged and hung up. About ten minutes later, Zhang Hui called back. "She was taken to Chestnut Hill Slope."
"Chestnut Hill Slope? Send me the precise location immediately."
Saying that, Meng Jingwei hung up the phone, quickly changed her clothes, and left the hotel.
