Chapter 460: Chapter 449: Zhan Qipei is Almost Driven Mad Chapter 460: Chapter 449: Zhan Qipei is Almost
Driven Mad Zhan Qipei quickly picked up his phone and saw the message sent by his subordinate.
“President Zhan, Miss Qiao went with Lu Zijin to the neighboring province for surgery in the afternoon. The two of
them took a helicopter there, and they haven't cback yet.”
After reading the message, Zhan Qipei’s dark eyes deepened, and the hand holding the phone showed
protruding veins.
His fingers stiffly exited the chat box and opened the chat page with Qiao Jing.
All the messages were from him alone.
“Where are you? It's so late and still not back, it’s very dangerous.”
“Sendyour location, I'll cto pick you up.”
“If you can see this message, reply. It's very late now, I'll cto pick you up.”
“Can you reply to my message?”
The messages he sent were all like stones dropped into the sea, with no response.
Zhan Qipei’s fingers quickly scrolled up, and it took a long tbefore he saw the last message Qiao Jing had
replied to.
That was a message from the day before yesterday.
He then switched to the call log, which showed all the calls he had made, and except for that one call in the
morning, none of the others had gone through.
The call in the morning had lasted only about a dozen seconds.
He had only exchanged a few words with Qiao Jing.
Zhan Qipei trusted Qiao Jing, but upon hearing that his wife had gone to another place with another man and
hadn’t replied to his messages,
he felt as if a blunt knife was grinding over his heart repeatedly.
He could understand going for surgery, but why not answer the phone? Why not reply to messages?
And moreover, why not tell him in advance and just leave with Lu Zijin?
Zhan Qipei had been sitting on the cold living room floor for a full hour now, and his movements had become
somewhat stiff.
He dialed Qiao Jing’s number again, clinging to hope.
“Doo—doo—"
Although he had heard the swaiting tone when he had called before, why did it seem like the waiting tone
had lengthened by dozens of seconds after learning that Qiao Jing and Lu Zijin were together?
It was as if a century had passed in his heart.
Suddenly the waiting tone hitched, and Zhan Qipei’s dark eyes lit up instantly, thinking the call had connected.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut the next second, the voice from the phone poured cold water over him.
“Hello, the phone you have dialed is turned off, please try again later... Hello...”
Zhan Qipei’s heart completely cooled down.
Before, when he called, it was temporarily unreachable, but now it had automatically turned off.
His face turned grim, and he phoned Tang Yan.
Tang Yan, who was still in his sleep, was awakened by the phone ringing, which he had specially set to “Tto
get up for work” for Zhan Qipei’s calls.
This caused him to reflexively sit up from bed and quickly grab the phone, carefully covering the microphone,
fearful of waking Lin Xiuxiang beside him.
But the move was futile; Lin Xiuxiang was already up. In her grogginess, she pushed Tang Yan right off the bed.
“Go outside... noisy...”
Tang Yan quickly bowed and walked out of the room, then pressed the answer button.
“Tang Yan, check the latest flights to Cloud City. Booka ticket; I'm heading there now.”
Tang Yan, who had been yawning continuously, instantly snapped to attention upon hearing this.
“What? Boss? You're going to Cloud City now?”
Zhan Qipei hummed in confirmation, then suddenly remembered he had several helicopters.
“No need for a plane ticket, have them bring my helicopter to the top of the apartment building.”
Tang Yan was stunned for a moment.
“Ah? Boss, what are you going to Cloud City for? Yesterday's project isn’t finished yet; we still need you to liaise.”
Why is his boss up in the middle of the night, not sleeping, saying he wants to go to Cloud City?
There’s only one person who can make the boss so anxious.
That's Miss Qiao.
Zhan Qipei’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
“Stop dealing with it, | have to go to Cloud City right now, I'll pay them the penalty fee.”
He can’t do anything without seeing Qiao Jing.
He only wants to see Qiao Jing.
Is work more important than his wife?
The answer is obviously no.
On the other end, Tang Yan was completely in a daze.
“Boss, are you going to see Miss Qiao? What is Miss Qiao doing in Cloud City?”
He suddenly remembered what Zhan Qipei had asked him this morning.
Could it be that the boss and Miss Qiao had a fight, and then Miss Qiao ran off to Cloud City to give the boss the
cold shoulder?
Zhan Qipei was silent for a second before he spoke.
“She went to Cloud City with Lu Zijin for surgery and hasn't yet returned.”
He can accept that Qiao Jing had surgery, and he can barely accept that she had it with Lu Zijin.
But he can’t accept that his wife went off somewhere without a word, doesn’t reply to messages, and even has
to spend the night outside!
The image of Qiao Jing with Lu Zijin, staying in the sroom, suddenly flashed through his mind.
Zhan Qipei only felt that his patience was reaching its limit, his thin lips tightly pressed into a curveless line of
ice.
Tang Yan sighed.
“Boss, Miss Qiao just went for
surgery, after all. Besides, she
definitely needs | res(after fret!

He was now not only the company’s secretary but also the boss’s emotional consultant.
Zhan Qipei, who was teetering on the edge of losing his reason, calmed down a bit after hearing Tang Yan's
words.
“But she didn’t reply to my message, nor did she tellin advance. No reply, and her phone is turned off.”
He certainly didn’t want to exhaust Qiao Jing, especially since she was pregnant.
After Tang Yan put it that way, he now understood why Qiao Jing hadn’t cback.
If he were in Cloud City, he certainly would not let Qiao Jing return to the capital either.
Tang Yan checked the time; it was one in the morning.
“Since Miss Qiao went straight to
Cloud City, that must mean the

After saying all this in one breath, Tang Yan felt he deserved a raise.

Zhan Qipei’s tightly knitted eyebrows finally relaxed, thinking Tang Yan's words made sense.
“Okay, | got it.”
Seeing that he had finally managed to persuade him, Tang Yan cautiously inquired:
“So boss, about that project worth 1.5 billion...”
Zhan Qipei did not hesitate.
“I'm going to Cloud City now, I'll give them the penalty fee.”
He now knew why Qiao Jing hadn't replied to his messages, but he was still going to Cloud City.
He hadn’t seen Qiao Jing for a whole day and a half, and every minute and second was torture for him.
If he couldn't even see his wife, what's the point in talking about projects?
