"Susu immediately said to him, 'Not long after you left, Lan Yu's phone number became unreachable. What happened to them? The other day, Lan Yu and I were shopping, and we had a good chat. She even promised to explain the misunderstanding with An Jing.'
'I don't know either,' Tianyi said worriedly. 'An Jing has been acting normally at the company these past few days, and he hasn't said anything to me. I thought they were fine, but who knew he'd be out drinking alone.'
'Ah, it's such a pity,' Susu sighed.
Tianyi said, 'You should go to sleep. I'll stay here and watch him tonight. When he wakes up, I'll ask him clearly.'
Susu thought that was all she could do and said to him, 'Then you must also rest well. Don't stay up too late. Goodnight.'
'Goodnight,' Tianyi blew a kiss into the phone before hanging up.
He saw that the conflict between An Jing and Lan Yu was not easily resolved, and they had thoroughly offended the Xie family. He vaguely felt that if they weren't careful, there might be bigger problems in the future.
When Xiao An Jing woke up, he thought he was still at the bar. He sat up from the sofa and shouted, 'Liquor, where's the liquor? Bring me another bottle... Tracy! Get me a bottle of liquor...'
Tianyi, leaning against a chair, was woken by his shouts. He saw that it was still dark outside.
He stood up, turned on the light, and handed him a glass of water, saying irritably, 'No liquor, only plain water. Drink it or don't.'
An Jing looked around, then at him, and asked somewhat blankly, 'Why am I at home? And why are you at my home?'
Tianyi pulled over a chair and sat facing him, asking, 'You've been out drinking for several days. Tracy is already annoyed with you, preventing her from getting off work normally. She called me yesterday.'
'Oh, that's not very loyal,' An Jing lowered his head to drink the water, not looking at him anymore.
Tianyi asked coldly, 'Did you and Lan Yu argue again? What was it about this time?'
An Jing smiled and said, 'Argue? It would be good if we could argue. She left a divorce agreement and left without saying goodbye.'
'Your problems are that serious,' Tianyi said. 'Haven't you tried to find out where she went?'
'Find her? How can I find her? Her phone is disconnected. Am I supposed to put out a missing person notice?' An Jing said dejectedly. 'It's useless to try and keep someone who doesn't want to stay.'
Tianyi countered, 'If you see it so clearly, then why are you drowning your sorrows in alcohol?'
An Jing didn't answer him and said, 'I'm fine. You should go back quickly. Staying out all night, be careful Susu doesn't get angry with you...'
Tianyi couldn't stand seeing him pretend to be indifferent when he clearly cared. He interrupted him, staring at him, and said, 'If you're a man, go find Lan Yu. If you can't let her go, tie her to your side!'
Before An Jing could retort, he stood up forcefully, strode to the door, opened it, and left.
An Jing slumped, holding his head with both hands, and suddenly came to his senses. As angry as he was, Tianyi was right. No matter what, he had to find her.
She could leave like this, but he was a man and couldn't escape like her.
An Jing rubbed his face with both hands, regardless of the time, and picked up his phone to start asking for help.
...
In her sleep, Susu felt a large hand embrace her. Someone was pressed tightly against her back, instantly warming her entire body.
'Tianyi, you're back.' She mumbled, eyes closed, smelling Tianyi's familiar scent.
Tianyi let out a soft, weary hum.
She had too many questions about An Jing and Lan Yu's situation, but she knew it wasn't the time to ask him. He needed to rest well.
'Go to sleep quickly. Don't go to the company too early tomorrow. Get some more sleep.'
Tianyi didn't respond. He had already fallen asleep holding her.
Susu snuggled into him and continued to sleep.
When she woke up, she looked around and found no one beside her. For a moment, she was unsure if Tianyi had returned last night or if it had been a dream.
As she stared at the ceiling, the bathroom door suddenly opened.
Tianyi emerged, wearing only a bath towel, his hair still wet.
Susu was sure she hadn't dreamed it. She turned to look at him and asked, 'You're up so early.'
'It's not early at all, it's almost noon. If I don't get up soon, Chen Ma will come to call us for lunch,' Tianyi smiled at her, wiping his hair with the towel in his hand.
Susu immediately sat up and, checking the time on her phone, realized it was indeed almost noon.
She had slept even longer than Tianyi. She was truly capable of sleeping. She hadn't asked Sophie to relay a message to the studio, nor had she told anyone else she would be late today.
Alas, the studio must have been in chaos this morning.
While she was lost in thought, Tianyi walked to the bedside and, as usual, leaned down to kiss her.
His well-trained muscles displayed before her made her heart skip a beat, and she nervously asked, 'Did you ask An Jing? What exactly happened between him and Lan Yu?'
He stroked her hair and replied, 'He said Lan Yu left a divorce agreement and left without saying goodbye. Her phone number is disconnected, and he can't reach her.'
'So resolute,' Susu said, not understanding. 'She shouldn't be like this. Did An Jing do something wrong to her? Last time, she told me she felt An Jing was involved with another woman.'
Tianyi froze for a moment, a thought flashing through his mind. Could it be that Lan Yu was leaving because of An Jing being framed by Xie Qining?
Seeing his reaction, Susu immediately pressed, 'Does An Jing really have another woman? Do you know about this?'
Tianyi sat on the edge of the bed and said, 'That's not true. An Jing absolutely does not have another woman outside. I can guarantee that. However, he did do something he shouldn't have with a woman, but that was because he was framed by her ex-husband for Lan Yu's sake.'
'Lan Yu's ex-husband? Xie Qining!' Susu asked, sensing something was wrong, 'How could An Jing be framed by Xie Qining? Xie Qining doesn't seem like An Jing's match.'
'He was probably too eager to get back the things Lan Yu had with Xie Qining. But even though they've gotten them back, he and Lan Yu have parted on bad terms.'
'Lan Yu's... those indecent videos and photos have all been retrieved? How did you get them back?' Susu felt he was hiding something and glared at him, asking, 'Didn't we agree to be honest with each other? Why aren't you telling me things? If you keep this up, I'll learn from you.'
Tianyi playfully pulled her into his arms, letting her rest against his chest, his chin resting on her forehead, and said, 'There's nothing to hide from you. We just set a trap for Xie Qining to curb his arrogance. He'll probably need quite some time to recover and won't be able to cause trouble for a while.'
He then recounted the entire process of retrieving those items to Susu.
Susu clapped her hands in delight, hooked her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek, 'Well done! You should teach that scumbag a lesson.'"
