Chapter 61: Panic

Ye Moran sat in the meeting room for over one hour, yet she still couldn’t understand what the other party meant before they left.

Since she couldn’t figure it out, she had no choice but to go back to work, continuing until nightfall before finally stopping!

However, she didn’t feel tired because she would soon be able to play with that fragrant, soft little fellow!

But the moment she pushed the door open, what met her eyes was an empty room!

Her entire body froze instantly. A massive wave of panic flooded her chest, and she began to search the room frantically. She checked under the bed, the bathroom, and the kitchen — she searched every place she could find!

But there was nothing. Nothing at all!

There wasn’t a single trace of the little fellow. The entire room was deathly still; aside from her own breathing, there was nothing else!

“Why? Why is it like this!”

She forced herself to calm down, but she simply couldn’t. She paced back and forth in agitation until, finally, she thought of one thing!

‘The collar, yes, the collar!’

That collar couldn’t be removed, and it came with built-in positioning and monitoring functions. She could use it to check the little fellow’s status and location!

She opened her mobile phone and tapped on the tracking app. First, she selected the positioning function and found that the little fellow wasn’t far from her. Moreover, he was currently rushing back home!

In an instant, she let out a sigh of relief. Without time to think, she immediately put on her clothes and rushed toward the little fellow’s location without stopping for a single second!

At the same time, she turned on the monitor and saw the little fellow’s panicked expression. He was dressed in thin clothes with only a jacket draped over his shoulders, and his entire body was drenched in sweat from running!

The thin clothes were soaked through, clinging tightly to the little fellow’s body and outlining an alluring silhouette!

No, I have to hurry. I have to get there faster!

I can’t let anyone else see the little fellow in his current state!

The mere thought of others scanning the little fellow’s body with greedy eyes made her want to go into a frenzy and tear everything to pieces!

‘Little fellow, you are being very disobedient this time. Really, really, very disobedient!’

‘Why must you be so naughty? You were staying perfectly fine at home, yet you just had to run out. You’re even dressed so thinly. What if someone else sees you?’

‘The little fellow’s body can only be seen by me. No one else can look. No one, absolutely no one!’

On the other side, Su Ling was running forward with frantic steps. He had even tripped and fallen several times, to the point that tears of pain were leaking from the corners of his eyes, but he still desperately pushed forward!

“Why did I come out? I shouldn’t have… I shouldn’t have…”

“Sister will definitely be angry. Wuwu, I’m going to be bullied to death!”

Su Ling hadn’t originally wanted to come out, but after Ye Moran left, he had woken up.

In truth, he hadn’t been asleep at all; he just felt very tired and didn’t want to open his eyes!

As soon as his sister left, Su Ling sat up and cast a resentful glance at the door.

“Bullying me again, hmph!”

Su Ling pouted, but he wasn’t actually that sad in his heart. He fished out his mobile phone from nearby, planning to play for a while.

For some reason, he couldn’t fall asleep. It felt like insomnia; although his body was exhausted, his mind was very clear!

After scrolling through videos for a bit, he turned the mobile phone off again. Besides games and videos, the phone had almost no other functions, and his sister wouldn’t let him add friends…

“Wait?!”

Su Ling’s head turned. His sister had agreed to let him make friends last night. Didn’t that also mean she agreed to let him add friends on his mobile phone?

She probably agreed, right?

Thinking of this, Su Ling happily fished out the business card he had been hiding under the bed for a long time.

He successfully added Nangong Wan as a friend. The other party accepted almost instantly and sent a message!

**[Hello, may I ask who you are?]**

Su Ling thought for a moment and silently typed a line.

**[I am Ye Jin.]**

**[Oh.]**

“Eh?!”

Su Ling felt a bit disappointed. The other party’s reaction was so flat. Did she not like being friends with him?

But then why did she buy him tanghulu yesterday?

***

On the other side.

Nangong Wan had just finished her work when she saw a friend request pop up. It was a strange profile picture, and when she clicked on the bio, there was no information. It looked like a newly registered account.

Who was this?

She thought about it for a long time but couldn’t figure it out. Logically, her information was confidential. It was difficult for an ordinary person to get her contact information, so it shouldn’t be a salesperson.

Thinking of this, she clicked accept and asked who it was.

Ye Jin!

Looking at those two words she had been thinking about day and night, a surge of excitement rushed into her heart. For a moment, she didn’t know how to reply. After thinking for a long time, she could only silently type an “Oh!”

Feeling that this might be too cold, she quickly typed out several more sentences.

**[What are you doing now? You left so quickly last night, was there something wrong?]**

The sliver of disappointment in Su Ling’s heart vanished the moment he saw the message.

Su Ling subconsciously broke into a smile and began typing a reply.

**[I have nothing to do. I want to sleep, but I can’t.]**

**[If you can’t sleep, come out for a walk. I happen to be nearby. You can come find me, and I’ll take you out to play.]**

**[Um, no!]**

**[Why?]**

Nangong Wan stared fixedly at the screen. Her mind immediately jumped to the idea that Ye Moran was the one causing trouble!

Damn it, how could she restrict Ye Jin like this!

**[I can’t go too far. My sister will worry, and I don’t want her to worry.]**

Su Ling bit his lip but still didn’t say it. If he went too far, he would be bullied severely. He told a small lie.

**[Then we won’t go far. Remember the park from yesterday?]**

**[There’s a mall nearby. We can go for a stroll. I happened to want to buy some clothes. Will you accompany me, please?]**

As Nangong Wan sent this, she also included an extremely cute emoji. Little boys usually liked this kind of emoji, so Ye Jin would probably like it too, right?

She was a bit uncertain. After all, Ye Jin was different from everyone else in her heart!

Su Ling was originally going to refuse, but when he saw the emoji of a cute little rabbit looking at him with teary eyes, his heart inexplicably softened. He couldn’t help but want to agree!

Anyway, his sister had already agreed to let him play with friends, so nothing should go wrong, right?

**[Then I’ll accompany you for a little bit. I’ll come back as soon as we finish shopping.]**

**[Okay. Once you’re done shopping with me, I’ll send you back.]**

**[No need to send me. I can come back on my own!]**

After saying that, Su Ling supported his tired body and began to find a few suitable pieces of clothing to put on!

Once he had wrapped himself up tightly, he walked out of the room. He originally wanted to tell his sister he was going out, but when he pushed the door open, his sister was nowhere to be seen outside the room.

He tilted his head in confusion, wanting to look for her, but then he felt that she must have something to do. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be absent from the office.

Thinking of this, Su Ling made up his mind. He would tell his sister about it after he returned.

He happily set off and left the company!

Su Ling kept his head down as he moved through the crowd, arriving at the park a short while later. The weather was nice today, and there were many people in the park. At first glance, he couldn’t find Nangong Wan at all!

With no other choice, he first sat down on a park bench and pulled out his mobile phone to send her a message.

But before the message could be sent, a figure sat down beside him.

“Who is the little handsome guy waiting for? Are you waiting for me?”

“????”
