Li Jinyan opened his eyes to find his arms empty. He abruptly sat up in bed, not even bothering to put on his shoes as he rushed out of the bedroom. After searching the suite thoroughly, Ling Ruonan was nowhere to be found.
A storm of rage instantly brewed in his eyes.
She dared to run again!
He immediately returned to the bedroom, grabbed his phone, powered it on, and ignored the slew of missed calls and messages before dialing his assistant, Li Mu. "Search the entire city for Ling Ruonan—turn every stone until you find her!"
"Mr. Li, last night when you suddenly left the engagement banquet, it caused quite a commotion. Now the internet is flooded with speculation about your marriage to the Lu family. Madam Yuhua has called me countless times, asking about your whereabouts. Even the company is in chaos."
"I'll head there right now. Arrange for the search team."
"Got it."
Li Jinyan arrived at the company to find Ye Yuhua waiting for him in his office.
