CHAPTER 446: CHAPTER 446: THIS WINTER IS REALLY COLD (PART 6)

As night fell, Tang Yanqi suddenly woke up from her bed. She had returned to the villa today. Because she hadn’t received a call from Sheng Jianan, and he didn’t answer when she called, her heart felt like a drifting boat. She just wanted to find a place with his presence to sleep peacefully.

She hadn’t dreamed in a long time, yet she just dreamt of her mother waving at her, with the familiar smile, saying to her: "Yanxi, look at the princess dress and the Barbie doll that Mom bought for you, do you like it?"

These were the words her mother had said to her the day she had the accident.

In the dream, her mother seemed like a wandering spirit, drifting further and further away, then she seemed to be pushed by a giant hand into a deep abyss, surrounded by darkness, her body continuously falling.

Tang Yanqi reached out and touched her forehead, a layer of cold sweat. She got out of bed, went downstairs, and drank a large glass of water to slightly ease her emotions.

Is it because her nerves had been tense the past few days?

Why would she have such a dream?

Enduring the feeling, Tang Yanqi dialed Sheng Jianan’s phone again. This time it wasn’t turned off, it went through, and someone picked up: "Hello?"

A gentle voice came from the other side of the phone. It was a familiar voice, but not the one she wanted to hear.

In an instant, the person on the other side hung up the phone.

Tang Yanqi stood still like a stone sculpture.

Was that... Shen Yao?

Why did she pick up Sheng Jianan’s phone?

Judging from the time, it should be noon over there, why would Shen Yao have Sheng Jianan’s phone?

Tang Yanqi felt it must be her dream not fully waking, she must have misheard, quickly dialed again, this time met with the cold shutdown prompt tone.

Was she dreaming?

It must be, but why did this dream feel so real?

After the three-day New Year break, Tang Yanqi felt like she had gone through a century. On the first day back to work, she felt muddled, as if she had stayed up several nights.

Rarely making mistakes at work, either she was distracted in the morning meeting, or she forgot when Guo Jingtian asked her to make copies.

"Little Tang? What’s wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Guo Jingtian couldn’t bear it, asked with concern, which earned a side eye from Yu Shasha, and Tang Yanqi barely managed a smile: "No, Brother Guo, sorry, I’ll fix it right away."

"No need, I’ll do it, you take this to Yang Jie in the Operations Department."

"Alright."

Tang Yanqi nodded, gathered herself, and left with the file folder.

Whether it was because of that phone call or not, upon reaching the Operations Department, Tang Yanqi subconsciously glanced at the director’s office. Yang Jie was the deputy director’s assistant, she handed her the file folder, and casually asked: "Is Director Shen around?"

"Director is in the United States and hasn’t returned, anything urgent?"

Tang Yanqi’s face turned a shade paler, she shook her head.

Her heart tightened a little, Tang Yanqi slipped into the bathroom and washed her face with cold water.

No, she needs to be calm, rational.

Qiao Zi said Sheng Jianan suddenly went to the United States for business reasons, Shen Yao is a company executive, maybe she also went for business, and besides, it was noon over there, they could very well be dining together, as for Sheng Jianan’s phone, it might be Shen Yao doing it on purpose.

After all, her number on Sheng Jianan’s phone must be noted, Shen Yao could have deliberately picked up, this is all just a coincidence orchestrated by someone intentional.

She had said she would trust Sheng Jianan, just like the "princess hug" incident the other day, maybe it was just a misunderstanding.
