Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Sensible Enough to Make His Heart Ache

It’s seven o’clock, why hasn’t Cheng Lie come to find her yet?

Yun Shifei stayed in the cold, lifeless hotel room, watching the clock inch forward bit by bit. Her phone was silent, and there was no movement at the door either.

They had clearly agreed on six-thirty, but now he hadn’t shown up.

Could it be that he forgot where she was staying?

Yun Shifei decided to get dressed and headed down to the lobby to wait for him.

But she waited until seven-thirty, and he still hadn’t appeared.

At this point, her stomach betrayed her with a loud rumble.

Yun Shifei stared at her phone. Cheng Lie was never the type to be late. In the past, whenever they arranged to meet up, he was always on time—sometimes even arriving earlier than her.

What was going on today? Had he decided he didn’t want her to take responsibility for him anymore?

Thinking this, Yun Shifei felt a dull ache in her chest and a growing unease.

She finally couldn’t resist calling Cheng Lie, but the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering.

What’s happening?

At that moment, Xu Yuejiao and a few others returned from outside. Seeing Yun Shifei sitting in the lobby, they were surprised. "Feifei, what’s going on? Weren’t you out for dinner?"

Yun Shifei shook her head. "Cheng Lie still hasn’t come."

"That guy!" Xu Yuejiao gritted her teeth angrily, "He stood you up?"

"Maybe he has something going on. I just called him, but he didn’t answer."

"What could it be?" Xu Yuejiao thought for a moment before saying, "Oh, today he was with a group of people when I saw him earlier. Could it be that something held him up?"

Xu Yuejiao recalled the scene of Cheng Lie arriving earlier. He hadn’t come alone—there had been a group of people with him. Those individuals had looked rather formidable.

Is that it? Yun Shifei pondered. Perhaps he really got tied up with something.
