The evening wind was still cool at night. When it blew in from the half-closed window, it brought a cool and slightly cold air. Aunt Lin stood beside Chen Ze at the dining table, thinking that the first storm of summer will be happening soon.

It was rare for him to get off work on time today. When Chen Ze drove home from the hospital, he even thought of having a good talk with Wen Xi later. What exactly was going on with her words at the cafeteria, as well as her attitude of ignoring him the whole day?

Of course, these were just the things that he had to solve. There were other things that he wanted to talk to her about.

What he did not expect was that she did not give him such a chance at all. It had been nearly two and a half hours since he got off work at the hospital. Even if her driver was driving like a snail, he should have reached home long ago. However, he didn’t see Wen Xi at all. This was very unusual!

Chen Ze was a little irritated as he thought about all this nonsense. After raising his hand to look at the time, he opened his mouth and said to Uncle Lin, “Call Old Wang and ask him where they are now! It’s almost dinner time, why isn’t Wen Xi back yet?”

The Old Wang that Chen Ze was talking about was actually the chauffeur that Wen Xi often used in the Chen family. Chen Ze would rather send the people around him to ask about her whereabouts than to make a phone call himself and directly ask where she was.

He seemed to have always been such a cold and heartless person, even if he was the one who wanted to look for her tonight to talk about their plans to celebrate Chen Ya’s birthday at the Chen family’s old residence this Wednesday.

Chen Ya was 23 years old this year, and it wasn’t going to be an extremely big birthday. There was no need to make it grand, but who was she?

Chen Ze was always busy with work and did not care much about the trivial matters at home. Wen Xi had always been the only one who had to worry about these things.

He had also suddenly thought of this matter, so he wanted to ask her.

After hearing Chen Ze’s instructions, Uncle Lin’s expression froze for a moment. He nodded and bowed, ready to go down to make a phone call. However, he had only taken a few steps when he was stopped by Aunt Lin!

“Don’t bother. Old Wang hasn’t left the house today!” Aunt Lin said this to Uncle Lin, but her eyes were always on her Young Master.

When Chen Ze heard this, he turned his face slightly to look at Aunt Lin. Uncle Lin also stopped in his tracks and looked at her. Aunt Lin sighed and explained softly, “Young Lady drove to work by herself in her car today. Before she left this morning, she even told me that she wouldn’t be home for dinner tonight. She said she would be going back to the Wen family’s home alone.”

When Aunt Lin said this, she noticed that Chen Ze’s expression had turned ugly and gloomy. She felt that her Young Master and Young Lady had really been in a strange mood for the past two days. Her heart began to beat faster as she continued, “I thought Young Lady had already mentioned this to you, Young Master. Didn’t she tell you? I didn’t see Young Master giving any special instructions this morning, so I thought you were going to take Young Lady out directly. I didn’t think Young Master wouldn’t know about Young Lady’s whereabouts.”

“Mentioned what to me? What did you mean by that?” When Chen Ze heard Aunt Lin’s words, his brows slowly furrowed, and his eyes were filled with doubt. He turned to look at her and asked suspiciously, “Is today a special day? What did I do to her? If you have something to say, just say it, don’t hesitate!”

After hearing his words, Aunt Lin immediately reacted. She looked at her Young Master in surprise and subconsciously swallowed her saliva. She hurriedly replied, “Today is Young Lady’s 26th birthday! Don’t you remember? Didn’t Young Lady mention to you that she’s going home for her birthday today? I even heard Mrs. Wen talking to Young Lady on the phone a few days ago, asking her to bring you back to the Wen family’s home for dinner today! Did Young Lady not tell you?”
