Chapter 17 - Disappearances

Zhou Xing Chen smiled, his icy face softening a little as he said to Xia Xin'er, "Xin'er, you've worked hard. Let's go back first."

Anger flashed past Xia Xin'er's eyes, and in an instant, she had a warm and sweet appearance as she said, "Okay, you …"

"I know." Zhou Xing Chen knew she wanted him to go to a villa in the outskirts of the city, so how could he not want to be with his beloved Xin'er soon?

He glanced at Liang Jia. She was trying her best to smile and say goodbye to Xia Xin`er. Her manners were thoughtful, but that smile looked very awkward. However, looking at that awkward smile, Zhou Xing Chen felt that the current Liang Jia was more pleasing to the eye than ever.

Liang Jia turned her head and saw Zhou Xing Chen staring at her without blinking. His probing gaze made her feel uncomfortable. She cleared her throat and turned to face Zhou Xing Chen, leaving him with a soft view of her back.

"Stop laughing?" Zhou Xingchen mocked.

"I'm tired." Liang Jia's clear and crispy voice was now somewhat hoarse.

Zhou Xing Chen felt a sense of pity in his heart. He moved his lips and asked, "Do you want to go to sleep?"

"Yes."

Zhou Xing Chen laughed. "It's only afternoon."

"None of your business."

Zhou Xing Chen stood rooted to the ground, his eyes wide, his pupils narrowing. This was the first time in his life that she had choked him.

However, he discovered that he wasn't the slightest bit displeased. On the contrary, he was feeling vexed and satisfied.

He wanted to whistle, but only when he put the tip of his tongue between his teeth did he realize that Liang Jia had already gone to sleep. With light and nimble movements, he pulled out a recliner, leaned on it, stretched out his long legs, and muted his phone. He then peacefully laid down beside Liang Jia's body. The tiredness within her body gradually thickened …

The next day was fine, with the sun slanting in.

Zhou Xing Chen opened his eyes and realized that Liang Jia was still sleeping soundly, facing him. Her long and thick eyelashes were like butterfly wings, quietly resting on her white and creamy face. Her lips recovered a trace of blood, and a bit of cherry white powder could be seen in her pale complexion.

Zhou Xing Chen slowly approached. He stared at Liang Jia's lips. That little bit of cherry powder was so cute, so inappropriate, and luring him …

While breathing, Liang Jia groaned and unconsciously turned her body. Zhou Xing Chen was startled. Although no one else was around, he pretended to cough dryly.

He stood up, straightened his clothes, and habitually took out his cell phone. On the screen, there were a few missed calls, and the other call was from the company.

Zhou Xing Chen called back, but no one answered the call even when the busy tone sounded on the other end of the phone. It was still the same as before.

Hard to say Xin'er, what happened? Thinking of this, Zhou Xing Chen couldn't stay any longer. Hurriedly stroking his hair, he lifted his foot and left the ward. Before leaving, he looked deeply into the eyes of the still dreaming Liang Jia.

He kept on driving to the villas in the suburbs. Upon entering the house, he discovered that Xia Xin'er's exquisite high heels were neatly arranged at the entrance. He immediately felt a lot more at ease.

He quickly walked up the stairs and knocked on the bedroom that he had prepared for Xia Xin'er.

He saw Xia Xin'er curled up into a ball on the bed with her eyes closed and her body trembling uncontrollably.

Zhou Xing Chen's slender hand covered her forehead.

So hot! Zhou Xing Chen's expression darkened.

"Xing Chen and Xing Chen …" Xia Xin'er murmured.

"I'm here." Zhou Xing Chen was extremely gentle as he held Xia Xin`er's hand, transmitting the warmth of his palm.

"Don't leave me." She closed her eyes and repeated these words.

Zhou Xing Chen took out his phone and dialed a number. "Doctor Wei, immediately come to my villa in the suburbs. The sooner the better."

"But …"

Before the other party could finish speaking, Zhou Xing Chen hung up the phone and soaked a towel in water before placing it carefully on Xia Xin'er's burning forehead.

He knelt in front of Xia Xin'er's bed. His movements were gentle and gentle as if he was cherishing a precious treasure, afraid of being damaged even a little. The woman's cheeks were a deep red, and her lips were alluring. She opened and closed her mouth a few times, and her voice was as soft as the sound of a mosquito. Upon closer inspection, her mouth could be distinguished as she chanted, "Xing Chen."

Thirty minutes later, Doctor Wei arrived, sweating profusely.

Everyone knew that this young master Zhou was temperamental and had an unpredictable personality. He could not afford to offend him at all. Since he had called out, he naturally rushed over without stopping to rest.

However, Doctor Wei had prescribed medicine for Xia Xin`er to measure her body temperature, and after applying the IV drip, he found it hard to believe that this cold-faced Zhou Xing Chen would actually care so much about a woman. It seemed that the media had spread rumors about Xia Xin`er recently, and her reputation was well-deserved.

"Take this medicine twice a day. Sooner or later, take it every quarter of an hour before meals. Only then can you take good care of your body."

Zhou Xing Chen hugged her gently and coaxed, "I'll be by your side."

"En!" Xia Xin'er obediently laid on his chest. Through the clothes, one could faintly hear her heartbeat, steady and powerful.

Xia Xin'er felt extremely satisfied. The person closest to Zhou Xing Chen's heart had never changed in so many years …

"Rumble …"

The phone vibrated. Zhou Xing Chen picked it up, but before he could say a word, he had been scolded by his father.

He ignored all the superfluous curses and the only thing that lingered in his mind was a few words: "Liang Jia, disappeared."

Xia Xin'er felt Zhou Xing Chen's grip around her slowly tighten. She cried out in pain, and Zhou Xing Chen immediately released her. She asked gently, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? "

"Liang Jia has disappeared." Zhou Xing Chen tossed down the words before rushing out of the room.

These words struck Xia Xin'er like a giant boulder, smashing her so hard that she couldn't breathe. He was always so relaxed, always moving forward and retreating calmly. When had he ever acted this way? How could he be so flustered and anxious? It was Liang Jia again. Liang Jia!

Zhou Xing Chen was especially irritated. He rushed through several red lights before finally arriving at the hospital.

Zhou's parents were standing in the ward. He went in and asked, "What happened?"

"What's going on?" Zhou Qizhu retorted, "I asked you to take good care of Jia Yue yesterday, but today you didn't even see her. You still have the face to ask? "

Zhou Xing Chen's face was icy cold. The first possibility that he had thought of was that Liang Jia had left by himself, then he denied it. He had Li Yin's information with him, so how could she have dared to leave without him? If that was the case, then being kidnapped meant that the other party knew that she was the young wife of the Zhou family … Zhou Xing Chen didn't dare imagine what the kidnappers would do to Liang Jia. He felt his hands and feet go cold, his blood flowing backwards, his expression calm. He immediately took out his phone and instructed his men to find Liang Jia no matter what.

He sat down on the bed, exhausted, only to find a white corner under the pillow. It was a sketch of the interior of the room, with a small pattern in the lower left corner: a triangle with a diamond on the outside and a rectangle on the outside. It was actually a simple Rose LOGO.
