Two more days passed, and Xuan Mohan confined himself to the training room. No one dared to enter except him. Shi Yi occasionally went in to deliver food to his young master, but he was, without exception, thrown out.
Just turning his head, he saw the scene of him training madly, as if he didn't care about his life. Coupled with his not eating for days, he feared that if the young master continued like this, his body wouldn't be able to hold on.
"It's fine, there are training supplements inside. He won't starve to death..."
Li An guessed from Shi Yi's expression that it was no different from the previous few days. He immediately comforted himself. What else could he do? Go in and fight with the president? He thought he would be the one getting beaten.
"No, if young master continues like this, it won't do. I have to persuade him..."
Well, there really were people eager to get beaten.
"Leader, leader! Come here, I have something to tell you!" Shi Xiaohu said, supporting his waist and rushing over anxiously.
"What's wrong with your waist?"
Shi Yi asked, rubbing his head in confusion. Unexpectedly, Shi Xiaohu dragged him by the arm and walked out: "Leader, don't worry about the waist, let's go first... It's urgent..."
What a joke. That day, because of the young master's involvement, he felt like his body was falling apart. If he let him go in and the young master was unhappy, and they were given extra punishment, it wouldn't be good...
Just as they left, Xuan Mohan stepped out, his icy aura unable to dissipate. Li An silently moved two steps away. It was truly cold...
With that suppressed aura around him, could he not follow? But he was the president's chief assistant...
However, when he followed Xuan Mohan to their destination, he realized that the president missed the young madam again. He thought the president had finally moved on, but it seemed he had underestimated the president's feelings for the young madam.
Li An gave his president space and went aside to inquire about the progress of the search at the cliff. Several days had passed without any movement. It seemed she had been rescued. This also indicated the presence of those people in City S.
He remembered that a few months ago, that person had openly taken down their people at the dock with his subordinates and left. Their arrogance made him grit his teeth in hatred. Yet, at that time, no one had the leisure to deal with these people.
Now they appeared again. He didn't know their intentions, but it was best to be on guard.
...
A luxurious villa carved with intricate patterns.
Mu Jingxuan entered, looking dusty from his travels, his fatigue clearly visible on his face. After entering the living room, he headed straight for his room upstairs.
"Jingxuan, come and keep your mother company..." However, his tall, upright back did not turn.
She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Jingxuan rarely comes back since returning to the country... Now he's even absent-minded during the New Year. He's been going out frequently these past few days. What's wrong with him?"
Moreover, she felt that her son seemed unhappy lately. She rarely saw him smile; he was like a changed person. Had something happened?
Dad Mu casually comforted her: "Perhaps he's just returned to the country and has a lot of things on his mind, so naturally, there will be many troublesome matters."
However, he understood that his son had always been emotionally stable. The only things that could affect him, besides his career, were... love.
And business problems wouldn't bother him for so long. Therefore, he must have a girl he liked outside. But... the outcome wouldn't be good. Judging by his appearance, he wasn't just casually fond of her.
A'Fan, who followed him in, acted like an invisible person.
He later learned that the young master always went to a certain river to find a woman, and he was always in the laboratory for this woman. Now, during the festive gatherings, he... was also thinking of that woman.
A'Fan didn't understand what was so special about this woman that made his young master so humble, constantly missing her, and moreover...
Young Master Xuan was also looking for her. When he inquired, he was shocked to discover that his young master and Young Master Xuan liked the same person! They were like brothers, but now...
As he was thinking, he inadvertently looked up and saw his master's sharp eyes looking at him. It was over, nothing could escape his master's notice...
When Mu Jingxuan came down again, only Dad Mu and... A'Fan were in the living room.
Upon seeing this, A'Fan trembled and went up to help the young master with his luggage.
"Where are you going?!"
A'Fan's movements paused. He was wailing and shouting in his heart. If the master and the young master started arguing, wouldn't he be caught in the middle?
Mu Jingxuan only paused his steps, then continued to walk outside: "I have to go out for something."
"Are you planning to search in the surrounding cities?"
Seeing his lack of reaction, Dad Mu continued: "Let go. She's not suitable for you." Perhaps Dad Mu knew what it felt like to lose someone he loved, so he spoke with more discretion.
However... until Mu Jingxuan disappeared from the room, he still didn't hear his voice.
It seemed he wouldn't give up until he reached the Yellow River. Forget it, let him be. Who can truly understand matters of the heart...
...
The riverside was calm and peaceful. The sunlight shone on it, reflecting shimmering colors.
When Li An's legs were stiff, Xuan Mohan finally moved. He simply threw out two words and closed his eyes to rest, the dejection and fatigue in his brows clearly visible.
"Sigh..."
When would this end? The young madam was unlikely to return. In the past few months, the president had deployed many people to search the surrounding areas, and even searched personally, but he hadn't found anything.
If the young madam was never found, would the president remain devoted to her for the rest of his life? Even though the young madam had given birth to three children for the young master, if she didn't return, the young master would suffer. How tormented would he be for the remaining years?
Li An drove in silence. Soon, the car stopped at a large school.
"President, we've arrived."
Xuan Mohan looked up. It wasn't time to get off school yet. He directly opened the car door and walked out slowly.
Looking at the name "Peter" carved on a stone nearby, Xuan Mohan was lost in thought.
At that time, he was helping the child find a school, just to share her burden. He hadn't expected... that the child was theirs...
Xuan Mohan's heart couldn't help but soften. That was... the child she had given birth to for him. Nothing was more important than the four of them – mother and children. But she was no longer here...
The security guard at the entrance was about to stop him, but Li An quickly went up. Then, the main gate slowly opened, and Xuan Mohan walked in with his long strides.
He had always disliked campuses; they were too childish and simple. But now that there was someone he wanted to see inside, it wasn't so unacceptable...
Xuan Mohan's slender legs, perfect height proportion, coupled with his sculpted handsome face, successfully drew the attention of many young female teachers, their eyes sparkling with admiration...
Some, intimidated by his aloof aura, dared not approach, while some bolder ones had already gone forward.
"Hello, excuse me, are you a new teacher at the school? My name is..."
"Move aside, hurry and move aside... We don't have time..."
Li An shooed away the surrounding people like annoying flies, successfully completing his task a second before Xuan Mohan frowned.
