Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

Chapter 241: The Returnee on a Stormy Night



"Yun'er, just make another call!"

Pei Rou tugged at Tang Yun.

Unable to bear her mother's nagging any longer, Tang Yun had no choice but to dial Su Chen's number again.

"We're sorry, the mobile phone you've dialed is switched off."

The call connected to a soft yet somewhat robotic female voice.

"Still switched off."

Tang Yun threw her phone onto the coffee table and said.

At the same time, she couldn't help but curse internally—this guy must definitely be up to no good; otherwise, why would anyone switch off their phone nowadays?

In her view, even if someone was in a meeting, at most they would just set their phone to silent or vibrate.

Thinking this, Tang Yun inexplicably started to feel rather annoyed.

"This child, why is his phone still off?" Pei Rou, frowning, muttered to herself, "I even specially bought his favorite dishes!"

Upon hearing her mother's words, Tang Yun was rendered speechless and couldn't help asking somewhat sourly:

"Mom, who is your child here, him or me? You've never treated me this well!"

"Of course both of you," replied Pei Rou, lifting her head, her expression revealing nothing but fondness for Su Chen.

Great, it's circled back to him again. Tang Yun felt a wave of dizziness and truly couldn't understand what was so great about this guy—why did her mom like him so much?

To the point of buying his favorite dishes without even knowing whether he would come or not.

Unlike Pei Rou, in Tang Yun's eyes, this guy was just a hateful, annoying bad egg!

......

Ye Mei and Xiao Yaning, having successfully partnered with Almei Corporation, had been swamped these past few days.

However, during the occasional moments of respite, they would also think of that bad yet mysterious guy, inevitably voicing some complaints:

"Does a business trip need to take this long? And he even switched off his phone?"

......

Xia Qiuru, on the other hand, hadn't made any phone calls but found it peculiar and worrisome not having seen that figure around the corporation for quite a few days.

Su Chen himself probably never imagined that his absence had affected so many people's moods.

Of course, it wasn't just these women; many other people were confused by Su Chen's sudden disappearance.

That evening, as the sky dimmed, a drifting heavy rain began to fall over Jianghai, continuing without a hint of cessation well into the night.

Now deep into autumn, Jianghai's nights were naturally sparse of pedestrians, especially during such rainy nights where not a single soul could be seen, save for the occasional bark of a dog.

The rain, buffeted by the cold wind, zigzagged beneath the dim streetlights as a figure slowly approached from a distance, his steps unsteady.

The storm and the downpour lashed onto his face and body, yet he seemed to mind not at all, for not far ahead, someone was waiting for him...

It was just past 9 pm, and Lin Ruoxue was having dinner with wang ma, as the relentless downpour continued to batter against the windowpanes.

This only aggravated Lin Ruoxue's already restless and uneasy mood.

"Wang ma, I'm not eating anymore; I'm going upstairs."

Lin Ruoxue stood up and said.

Wang ma glanced at the nearly untouched bowl of rice and sighed.

Though it had been only a few days, Lin Ruoxue had visibly lost weight and her face showed signs of haggardness.

Just then, a knock at the door suddenly rose above the noise of the rain, though it was dulled by the downpour, rendering it barely audible.

"Wang ma, is someone knocking at the door?"

Lin Ruoxue, standing on the staircase, turned her head back and asked hesitantly.

"Seems like it, let me check."

Wang ma pricked up her ears and responded after listening a moment.

Lin Ruoxue continued to walk upstairs...

"Madam, young master!" Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

When Wang Ma opened the door and clearly saw the person standing outside, she couldn't help but tremble as she called out, her face filled with surprise and joy!

Lin Ruoxue heard this voice and was jolted!

She struggled to turn her head, gazing towards the entrance where there was also a gaze fixed on her, a familiar smile on the face, slightly mischievous.

For a moment, uncontrollable tears shimmered in her beautiful eyes, and then those crystal droplets slid down her exquisite face, falling onto the staircase...

"Husband!"

Lin Ruoxue let out a sharp cry and bolted towards the doorway; wearing a business suit, her movement was awkward. Over the short distance, she nearly fell two or three times.

But she didn't care about that at all, her eyes were solely on the man at the door!

"Husband!"

Lin Ruoxue tightly embraced the man, using all her strength as if loosening her grip just slightly would cause the man to slip away from her.

"Wife!"

Su Chen's arms were also wrapped around Lin Ruoxue's back, as he murmured softly.

Finally home, eh! It feels great!

In Su Chen's memory, this was the first time Lin Ruoxue had called him "husband!"

"Husband!"

Lin Ruoxue hugged Su Chen even tighter, the anxiety and fear of the past few days all released in an instant!

"Hmm~"

Lin Ruoxue suddenly heard a muffled grunt and quickly looked up at Su Chen.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Ruoxue saw Su Chen frown, apparently in some pain, and quickly asked.

"Nothing at all!"

Su Chen said playfully, smiling.

"Nonsense, what's actually wrong? Tell me!"

Lin Ruoxue's face became stern, showing an almost tigerish authority.

"I got a bit injured, just agitated the wound a little just now."

Su Chen pretended to be very casual about it.

"Where is it? Which part did you hurt?"

As soon as Lin Ruoxue heard that Su Chen was injured, she became extremely nervous and quickly started to check him thoroughly, grabbing his arm.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Su Chen said, dismissing it with a smile.

Just as Lin Ruoxue was about to continue questioning, Wang Ma spoke up:

"Miss, you and the young master should come inside first, it's windy and there's a heavy rain outside."

"Yes, yes, let's hurry inside."

Lin Ruoxue gently slapped her forehead, chiding herself for her carelessness.

"You go change out of your wet clothes first, then come out and eat."

Lin Ruoxue urged, then instructed Wang Ma to quickly reheat the food.

"Alright!"

He actually felt that upon returning this time, his cold and aloof wife seemed to have suddenly turned into a nagging old lady.

Su Chen might have guessed that Lin Ruoxue would be worried, but he had really not expected her to worry to such an extent!
