Chapter 54 Missing

"All right. Let's go." Murong Xue said, figuring it was just a meal. As she was about to leave, she looked in the direction of Fang Shihua and found that he had left.

Shangguan Lin ordered his men to put away the jade he'd just cut out and went towards the cafeteria with Murong Xue.

After a while, Murong Xue found Shangguan Lin had walked past the cafeteria and towards the guest room. Her face fell. "Shangguan Lin, you said it was just a meal. Where are you going?" She asked with a suspicious look.

Seeing her face change again and again, Shangguan Lin smiled. That silly girl always wore her heart on her sleeve! "What are you thinking? Didn't you say you would treat me to dinner? You were not talking about the junk food at the cafeteria?"

Murong Xue paused. Where should they go except for the cafeteria?! She asked directly, "Where else could we go?"

"You can only show your sincerity if you cook in person. You're not unwilling, aren't you?" Shangguan Lin asked in earnest.

How did he know she could cook? She then thought of Shangguan Mo. Maybe it was Shangguan Mo who told him. "But there are no ingredients here."

"I have. Let's go! Rest assured, I won't do you harm!" Shangguan Lin said with a smile.

Huh?! Was it so obvious?! But it didn’t matter. He was Shangguan Mo's younger brother, and it was unlikely he would do anything to her. The guest room here was well-equipped and decorated as comfortable as villas. It was made up of a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen, so one could cook here.

The two of them soon arrived at Shangguan Lin's room and found that it was very close to Shangguan Mo's as they were only two rooms apart. What a coincidence!

The difference was that the kitchen in Shangguan Mo's suite was empty, while in Shangguan Lin's, there was everything. Murong Xue was surprised for a while.

"Feel very strange? It's for some personal reasons. There are many things I can't eat outside, so I always cook and eat at home." Shangguan Lin explained. He didn't lie. It may be related to his perspective function. He would throw up food in many restaurants. Over time, he simply cooked by himself. Although some ingredients still made him sick, it was better than eating outside.

No wonder he asked her to cook. It turned out that he didn't know she could cook, but he couldn't eat anything outside. "Wait a minute. I'll go inside and cook!"

"You don't need my help?!" Shangguan Lin asked. He didn't intend to let her cook at first. He just wanted to spend more time with her, and he was ready to do it himself.

"No need. You should have a rest!" Murong Xue replied. She was already busy cooking in the kitchen.

Shangguan Lin was beaming. Even if she didn't do a good job, it wouldn't change his good mood at the moment...

Suddenly in the living room, Murong Xue's phone in her bag rang. Shangguan Lin cast a glance at Murong Xue. He didn't want to tell her, continually ignoring the annoying vibration and ring. But the phone rang like crazy as if it wouldn't stop until someone answered, and it kept vibrating.

Shangguan Lin calmly took out the mobile phone from Murong Xue's bag. Seeing the name of Shangguan Mo on the screen, he just turned off the mobile phone and then quietly put it back...

Half an hour later, Murong Xue had prepared a hearty meal. There were five dishes and one soup.

Wow! This silly girl could cook! The longer they got along, the more surprises there were.

"I didn't expect you could cook, and you're even better at it than me." Shangguan Lin said approvingly while eating.

"You don't know?"

"No!" Of course, he didn't know.

Murong Xue said with a startle, "How did you ask me to cook for you if you didn't know?"

"I intended to do it myself, but how can I refuse as you are so willing!" What a silly girl! Ha!

"... " Murong Xue was speechless.

After dinner, Murong Xue went back to her room in silence while Shangguan Lin was still laughing with a touch of lewdness.

The room was dark, and she thought no one was there. But the moment she turned on the light, she started at the sight of Shangguan Mo sitting on the bed, with no emotions in his black eyes. "Why didn't you turn on the light?" She asked questioningly.

"Where have you been?" In his black eyes surged a wave of anger.

This guy was going crazy again! Murong Xue was taken aback but said gently, "I just had dinner with your brother. What's the matter?"

"Brother? I have no brother!" Grimness was spreading.

She was stunned. Shangguan Lin lied to her? Impossible! They did look a bit alike. "Shangguan Lin isn't your brother?"

"Him! Did you see him today? I guess I am too nice to you, and now you have the nerve to flirt around!" Shangguan Mo grabbed her aside with mighty force.

Did she flirt around? Since when had she been behaving like this? "You..." She stuttered with bitter anger, her eyes red.

Just Shangguan Lin these two words could make him lose his head like a curse. "This is how you usually hook up with others! Put on this delicate and pitiable look. It's disgusting!"

Murong Xue listened in disbelief to the vicious words from his mouth.

"Things are not as what you think. If you still think so, I have nothing to say." Murong Xue looked away from him.

Although she agreed to be his girlfriend with reluctance, she meant to take it seriously and get along with him.

At least, she kept in mind some of his habits.

Now he treated her like this for a misunderstanding that didn't even exist.

Murong Xue didn't want to see him anymore. If it wasn't for oppression from all sides, she wanted to run away on the spot.

Shangguan Mo looked at her coldly, then turned her around, and said, "Where did you go today?"

"Now that you don't believe me, what's the point of talking about it? You don't like me at all. You're just possessive about me." Murong Xue raised her head with a determined look.

Shangguan Mo pulled a long face, his eyes filled with anger. He simply didn't listen to what Murong Xue was talking.

He approached her little by little.

Murong Xue backed away step by step.

The moment he was about to reach her, Murong Xue threw a handful of knockout drops. Within a second, Shangguan Mo passed out...

As she looked at Shangguan Mo lying on the ground, an eerie feeling came over her. She had no idea what she had done that got on his nerves.

What should she do now? Shangguan Mo wouldn’t let her get away with it after he came around.

She helped Shangguan Mo to bed. When she was about to put on a piece of clothing, she bumped against a bedside cabinet and scratched her leg, leaving a few drops of blood on the bed.

After getting dressed, Murong Xue flashed into the Space. She wanted to hide for a few days.

After the time with him, though she was still worried about how he would deal with it, she knew he wouldn't get innocent people involved. So she had little fear that he would get the Murong Family into trouble.

Besides, Shangguan Mo didn't do her any harm though he sometimes put on an indifferent face, except for the emotional acts tonight.

In the Space, Murong Xue devoted herself to studying medicine and medications, trying to develop medicines harmless to the human body. Most of the medicines at the market were more or less toxic. Thinking of lovely children like Mo Zilin, she made up her mind to do something meaningful to help others, otherwise, she would feel ashamed to own the Space.

Shangguan Mo woke up the next day. He recalled how he flew into a rage and passed out the day before.

He got up, and his face fell at the sight of the blood on the bed. He was way too impulsive yesterday.

As if thinking of something, he threw on a piece of clothing and went around the room looking for her. "Xue, where are you?"

Shangguan Mo panicked. He took out his mobile phone and dialed her number. "The phone number you have dialed is not in the service area..." D*mn it!

He quickly changed into his clothes and called Ye Feng and Ye Liu. "Find out the whereabouts of Murong Xue at once!"

Ye Feng felt there was something strange. Murong Xue didn't seem to walk out of the door last night. But he still answered obediently, "Yes!"

Three days later, Shangguan Mo sat on the sofa, upset and dejected. "Haven't found her yet?"

Ye Feng and Ye Liu were uneasy. Murong Xue seemed to disappear out of thin air, and no clues could be found. They almost turned the place upside down but found no secret passage. "We've checked the video of the conference. The last time the Princess showed was when she entered the room that night. No sight of her after that, and no one was seen jumping down from the balcony. Without rhyme or reason, she disappeared."

Shangguan Mo waved his hand and said, "You can go now. Leave me alone."

"Xue, where are you? I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have taken it out on you. Come back to me!"

He pulled all the strings and still didn't find any clues. How was it possible?

He almost doubted whether Murong Xue existed in this world. Even the Murong Family couldn't get in touch with her. Of course, he didn't tell them about Murong Xue's disappearance.

At first, he thought she was just hiding from him out of anger, but now he was afraid that she might be in danger. It was not until now that he realized how much he was hypnotized by her.
