So Xiao Ya went out to see Gu Yan, Gu Yan didn't say much, she seemed to be a little embarrassed by her impulse just now, and coughed to let her go back.

Xiao Ya snorted and scolded in a low voice: "Dressed **." ”

Gu Yan turned his head to look at her and asked, "What?" Xiao Ya shook her head and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, you can go." ”

Gu Yan really turned around and walked towards the car parked not far away.

Xiao Ya looked at his tall and thin back and rolled her eyes angrily.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and turned around and went home.

Gu Yan walked to the car, glanced back, and just saw her open the door and walk in.

So he stopped, leaned idly on the car, took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it.

In the green smoke, his eyes were uncertain.

I didn't know what I was thinking, so I finally threw the cigarette at my feet and extinguished it, opened the door and got into the car, and drove to Ji Chengyan's villa.

Ji Chengyan actually doesn't like to live in the villa now, and he doesn't want to come back.

But every time he reacted, he was already back.

As soon as Ji Chengyan was sitting at the dining table and preparing to eat Aunt Zhou's cooking, Gu Yan came.

As soon as Gu Yan came in to see that he had just started eating, he walked to the other side and sat down in a good mood, and said to Aunt Zhou, "Help me serve a bowl of rice, thank you." ”

Aunt Zhou was happy because someone accompanied Ji Chengyan to eat, so she hurriedly went to the kitchen to serve a bowl of rice, and prepared a bowl of chopsticks for Gu Yan to bring over.

Gu Yan returned the car keys to him, washed his hands again, and then came back for dinner.

"Where have you been?" Ji Cheng Yan didn't raise his head and asked.

"Didn't go anywhere."

Gu Yan didn't plan to tell him.

After the two of them finished eating, they opened another bottle of red wine and sat in the living room drinking and chatting.

"Xiao Ya knows where Ruan Xiaoxi is, but she won't tell me."

Gu Yan took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "You overestimate my charm." ”

Ji Chengyan glanced at him: "She has done less crazy things for you?" ”

"But seriously, even if you find her, what are you going to do?" Gu Yan asked.

Ji Cheng was silent for a moment, and said in a dumb voice: "I don't know." ”

He really didn't know what he was going to do if he found Ruan Xiaoxi.

He only knew that he couldn't tolerate Ruan Xiaoxi not being by his side, he must, must, find her.

What happens after you find it? What to do? I don't know.

He drank irritably, trying to suppress the discomfort in his heart.

"Actually...... Why can't you talk to her properly? Gu Yan poured him wine and persuaded: "When two people are together, this matter still has to be your will."

Otherwise, if you find her this time, she will leave next time.

Isn't it possible that you will guard her for the rest of your life? Tired or not? Even if you really defend it for a lifetime, are you willing to want such a companionship? It was rare for Gu Yan to say so many words, Ji Chengyan picked up the wine glass and touched it with him, and leaned back again.

…… After Gu Yan left, Ji Chengyan lay on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

In fact, Gu Yan was right, he couldn't defend Ruan Xiaoxi for a lifetime.

Even if he really forced her to stay with him, she was not happy, and he would not be happy.

He was silent for a while, sat up from the couch, and pulled out his wallet.

He has a photo in his wallet.

The person in the photo is Ruan Xiaoxi.

The day the photo was taken last winter, and it snowed heavily that night, and Ruan Xiaoxi happily pulled him out and walked in the snow.

After walking for a while, she forced him to take a picture of her.

That's because he wasn't happy, he never liked things like photos, he felt that it was meaningless.

Right now...... He looked at the photo and felt extremely ironic.

The two of them have been together for a year and a half, and there is only such a photo that he was forced to take by her, and there is not even a group photo.

The photos that he once disdained are now kept in his wallet and regarded as treasures.

Isn't that ironic? She smiled brightly in the snow, although it was taken at night, and the light was insufficient, but because it was taken under the street lamp, it was clearly visible.

She was wrapped in a heavy down jacket and snow boots, and she was cute and cute.

He slowly took the photo out of his wallet, his fingers unconsciously touching her face, and gradually became distracted.

If he never sees her again in his later life, he may not be interesting all day long.

However, if you can see her all day long, but never see this smiling face again, it seems even more meaningless.

Gu Yan was right, the two of them should have a good talk.

But now the main thing is that he can't find Ruan Xiaoxi.

Thinking of this, he frowned irritably.

He put the picture back up, got up and walked to the window in contemplation.

He was almost certain now, Ruan Xiaoxi was no longer in the Imperial City, but where could she go? From one city to another? Ji Chengyan narrowed her eyes, if she wanted to escape, she must have fled far away.

Of course, how far and how far to go.

And Lu Zhiyan ...... Seems to be traveling abroad a lot lately? When did he expand his overseas business so well?

Thinking of this, he turned and walked past the table, picked up his phone, and pressed the call.

"Hey Mr. Ji."

"Now you set your sights on the entry and exit and check the entry and exit records of Ruan Xiaoxi.

Let's take a look at whether Lu Zhiyan has frequented cities and footholds abroad in recent times. ”

"Yes."

Ji Chengyan hung up the phone, and his heart became more and more convinced, the reason why Ruan Xiaoxi couldn't find anyone must be because he was not in the country.

Otherwise, with him looking for it so aggressively, how could there be no news at all.

At this time, his phone rang again.

He subconsciously looked at it and found that it was Ruan Jingya who called him, and he couldn't help frowning.

But he picked it up anyway: "Hey? ”

"Chengyan, where are you?"

"At the villa.

What's wrong? He pinched the bridge of his nose and said tiredly.

"It's okay, I just haven't seen you for a day, I'm ......" she didn't continue, but the meaning was already self-evident.

Ji Chengyan walked to the sofa and sat down, and said comfortingly, "I'll go see you tomorrow."

Have you eaten? ”

"I've eaten it."

Ruan Jingya replied, "Chengyan, I'm going to sleep, but I can't sleep, can you cut me and talk for a while?" ”

"Okay."

Ji Chengyan agreed, "What do you want to talk about?" ”

"It's all good, I love to hear what you say."

Ruan Jingya said, "Why don't you tell me about what has happened to you over the years?" I want to hear it. ”

Ji Chengyan thought of his own experience over the years, and sighed: "It's just that I've been busy with work, and there's nothing to say." ”

"Huh? Is it so hard. ”

…… The next afternoon, Ji Chengyan was having dinner with Ruan Jingya in her hospital room when he received a call from his bodyguard who was investigating Ruan Xiaoxi.

He didn't shy away from it, and took it up as usual.

"President, we found Miss Ruan's exit record, and on the afternoon of the second day of Miss Ruan's disappearance, Miss Ruan and Lu Zhiyan went to Los Angeles together."

Ji Chengyan immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand, and his eyes became sharp.

As he expected, Ruan Xiaoxi really went abroad.

also with Lu Zhiyan.

"And then?" Ruan Jingya raised her head to look at him, with some vigilance hidden in her eyes.

Lu Zhiyan rented a house in Los Angeles, and he went to Los Angeles on several business trips, and he ...... All live in this house. ”

Bodyguard said.

Ji Chengyan immediately gritted his teeth, and his whole body exuded an aura of indifference.

"Send me the address.

Other than that...... Book me a ticket. ”

"Yes."

The bodyguard agreed, after all, after checking for so long, there was finally progress.

And it's a god-fast progress.

Ji Chengyan hung up the phone, no longer had the heart to eat, staring at the phone and smiling coldly.

Very good, Nguyen Xiaoxi.

Los Angeles, USA, Lu Zhiyan.

I'm anxious at home, but you've been very nourishing abroad.

Ruan Jingya looked at his unkind expression and asked, "Chengyan...... Is something wrong? ”

"It's okay...... Ji Chengyan glanced at her, nodded the food in front of him with his chin, and said, "Eat quickly." ”

"If you have something unhappy, I can help you share it...... Although I can't protect you like I did when I was a child, I can at least help you share your unhappiness. ”

Ruan Jingya took the initiative to reach out and pull his arm, deliberately mentioning the incident when she was a child.

Sure enough, as soon as Ji Chengyan heard that he was a child, he immediately softened his complexion, and said to her gently: "It's not a big deal, I found your sister." ”

"Really?!" Ruan Jingya's eyes widened in surprise.

"Hmm.

She's in the U.S., and I'm going to go to her personally. ”

Ji Chengyan didn't care about her reaction, and was still immersed in the half-joy and half-worry of finding Ruan Xiaoxi.
