Qiao Nuo had slept for a long time, unaware of what was happening outside.
It wasn't until forty-eight hours later that someone, accompanied by his personal bodyguard, used tools to open the door to her apartment.
Once the door swung open, Jin Chengyan stepped inside.
It was his first time visiting Qiao Nuo's place. The apartment was small, consisting of just one bedroom and a living room, which had been converted into a sleeping area with a bed.
There was also a room with a closed door. Jin Chengyan walked over and opened it, revealing Qiao Chen curled up on the bed.
He stepped forward and instinctively checked Qiao Nuo's breath. Upon confirming she was still alive, he waved at A Shan, who was standing at the door, and A Shan obediently exited the apartment.
He was certainly angry; he hadn't heard from Qiao Nuo in two days. Initially, he thought she was preoccupied with her father's funeral and overwhelmed with responsibilities. But when his calls went unanswered, he sensed something was wrong.
After asking A Shan to investigate, he learned that the funeral had taken place two days prior, and Qiao Nuo was nowhere to be found.
Jin Chengyan had witnessed Qiao Nuo's despair at losing her father and suddenly felt a chilling sense that she might do something foolish, prompting him to come here.
Seeing her motionless on the bed made him truly believe she might be dead.
Fortunately, there was still a faint breath.
What was he relieved about?
“Qiao Nuo!” Jin Chengyan turned on the light in the room. It had been raining for two days straight, leaving the weather gloomy and the room dark as well. “Qiao Nuo, wake up!”
Qiao Nuo, still in a daze, seemed to hear someone calling her name. The blinding light made her instinctively raise her hand to shield her eyes.
It was true; someone was indeed calling for her!
In her hazy state, she caught sight of a figure nearby, the light casting shadows that made it hard to see clearly.
“I don’t want to see ‘widowed’ next to my spouse’s name. Get up quickly!”
At that moment, Qiao Nuo realized it was Jin Chengyan who had come.
She propped herself up with her hands and sat up. “What are you doing here?”
She remembered he was supposed to be looking for Ruan Shengyu. How did he end up here? And what time was it now?
Jin Chengyan noticed Qiao Nuo’s haggard appearance. There was a large wet patch on the pillow where she had been lying, clearly evidence of tears.
Jin Chengyan did not like people who wallowed in self-pity. Losing a loved one felt like the sky had fallen; if he didn’t come, would Qiao Nuo remain trapped in this house forever?
“I’ll give you five minutes to get dressed and wash up. Come back with me to Jin Mansion.”
“Hmm?” Qiao Nuo, just waking up, was still a bit confused. What was going on with Jin Chengyan?
“Still not moving? Do I need to pull your blanket off?”
“……” Qiao Nuo froze for a moment. “Then you should go out first; I need to get dressed…”
Jin Chengyan quickly left the room after speaking.
In the five minutes that followed, Qiao Nuo spent the first two minutes processing the fact that Jin Chengyan had come to find her. The next three minutes were a whirlwind of getting dressed, washing her face in the bathroom, grabbing her keys, locking the door, and finally making her way downstairs to get into Jin Chengyan's car.
"Miss Qiao, you have no idea how anxious Young Master has been without any news from you," A Shan said as he turned around to speak to Qiao Nuo before she had even settled into her seat.
"Huh?" Qiao Nuo paused for a moment, glancing at Jin Chengyan beside her and sensing that something was off.
Jin Chengyan shot A Shan a dark look and warned, "If you say another word, I’ll cut out your tongue."
A Shan fell silent and turned back to drive, steering the black Bentley out of the neighborhood.
Finally able to breathe, Qiao Nuo began to understand. Jin Chengyan had come here because he was worried about her absence.
He was concerned about her?
