Empty Promises: The Ceo Cunning Bride - Chapter 168

By the time Wu Yuan returned from his walk, the cottage house door was left wide open. He thought he closed it before leaving?

He quickly went inside, and there was only one out of two people who were supposed to be inside. Where is the other one?

“Where is she?” Wu Yuan stared down at the crazy granny sipping on her tea.

“She left.” The crazy granny shrugged like it wasn’t a big deal.

“What!?” Wu Yuan shouted, unable to control the volume of his voice. It was his first time yelling at the crazy granny, and he had his reasons why.

“I said she left!” The crazy granny shouted back. She shook her head and tapped her left ear. “You need to get your hearing checking, Yuan.”

“How can you just let her leave!?” Wu Yuan had a feeling he shouldn’t have left. He should’ve stayed and guarded the door.

Wu Yuan ran out and took the same pathway they took to get to the granny’s house. He didn’t see any sign of Xiong Jingfei, so he ran down the steep stone stairs to check if her car was still here.

It was still here! Why didn’t I offer to pick her up!?

Wu Yuan growled at himself as he ran back up the stone stairs. Her car is still here, so that means she hasn’t left. Where did she go?

He ran back up the stairs and checked from one area to the next, but she was nowhere to be found.

Not here! Not here! Not here too!

He checked every building, but she wasn’t there. He ended up looking like a crazy person running around, searching for someone or something.

Some who recognized him took out their phone and started recording Wu Yuan.

“Isn’t that the actor Wu Yuan?”

“It is! What is he doing here?”

“Doesn’t he look like he is looking for something?”

“Let’s go ask for an autograph!”

Before they even got near Wu Yuan, he took off running to another place. They were going to chase after him, but his long legs made it hard for them to catch up to him.

Wu Yuan ran towards the back of the area. There is one place he hasn’t searched yet!

He ran and ran, and when he got there, she wasn’t there too… Wu Yuan thought she definitely would have been at the waterfall area. This was the place that started her misfortunes.

Wu Yuan ruffled his hair in frustration. “Damn!”

“You just missed her. She left.” The crazy granny hopped down from the rocks. “Like, actually left. She drove away.”

“How can you just let her go!? You know she shouldn’t be driving right now!” Wu Yuan turned around to go back down to the parking area again, but someone grabbed onto his shirt. “Let go of me!”

“Yuan, you also cannot drive in the condition you are in.” The crazy granny reminded him. She was being serious, and if he didn’t calm down, he wasn’t allowed to leave this place. “Do you remember what I told you? What you promised me?”

Wu Yuan stopped struggling and stood still. He closed his eyes and took in many deep breaths. “You’re right. I lost my cool there for a second.”

The crazy granny smiled and let go of his shirt. “Best of luck, Yuan.”

Wu Yuan smiled, “Thank you, Wang Shu.”

The time around, Wu Yuan was a lot calmer as he headed back to his car. When he got there, Xiong Jingfei’s car that was parked next to him was gone. He got into his car and tried calling her, but she wasn’t picking up.

He couldn’t even blame her for taking off without him. Turning on his car, at full speed, he headed back to Sinwang City. Out of all the places Xiong Jingfei could have gone, there is only one place that she is heading to right now.

Wu Yuan’s car came to a stop outside Yang Zheyan’s gate.

The gate was left open, and that wasn’t a good sign. He stepped on the gas pedal and parked right in front of Yang Zheyan’s main door.

He was right! Xiong Jingfei is here because the car she drove today was parked right in front of him. It looked like she was in a hurry that she didn’t even close the driver’s side of the door.

Wu Yuan opened the unlocked door to Yang Zheyan’s house, and he could hear a lot of screaming, shouting, and things being thrown.

“AHHHH!”

Wu Yuan wasn’t surprised at the sight of Yang Zheyan’s house being trashed. He calmly followed the sound of where the noise was coming from. He walked into something he had expected.

Yang Zheyan and Lu Weisheng were on one side while Xiong Jingfei was on the other side. Those two were on the receiving end of having things hurled at them. On the ground, there were pillows to glass shards, and Xiong Jingfei was in the middle of picking up an antique vase.

“Feifei! Don’t!” Wu Yuan shouted, pushing the vase out of Xiong Jingfei’s grasp.

He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her away from anything she can throw. He was afraid this would happen, and it did! That’s why he quickly came back from his walk, but he didn’t expect Xiong Jingfei to be awake already.

“Feifei, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Yang Zheyan let out a tiny sigh that Wu Yuan stopped her. He doesn’t know what got into her.

Every time he tried to get close to her, she would begin throwing things at him. She was a quick thrower too. So, the whole time, he was busy dodging the items and couldn’t get any closer to stop her.

“I hate you! I was foolish to have ever believed in you!” Xiong Jingfei screamed, trying to rip away the arms around her.

The more she tried to pull his arms apart. Wu Yuan made sure he got a tighter grip on her. “Feifei, I know that you’re mad, but you need to calm down.”

“No! I will not calm down!” Xiong Jingfei cried, shaking her head at him. Why should she always be the one remaining calm? Why!? “Let go of me!”
