Chapter 962: The great CEO has pre-marital gamophobia?!

After thinking of this, she returned to her room, sat before her study desk, and started recalling the things that had happened following her father’s death.

She remembered…

A lot of people came to their house back then and ransacked it, saying that her father owed them a lot and asking them to settle it, or else they would chase them out…

Her second uncle arrived after all that was over…

That’s right! The phone book must’ve been stolen back then!

Her eyes glinted with comprehension at once.

“Second uncle… so it’s really you…”

At this point, she was even more certain that Qiao Jingyun had spoken the truth.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the fury and resentment in her heart.

She tried hard to calm herself, but she could not do it.

She knew that she must remain calm not to startle and alert her enemies so she could get justice from those who had caused her father’s death.

However, she was unable to suppress her desire to rush over to Pei Zhenghui and ask him his reason for doing so!

Dad treated him so well, so w-why did he harm dad like that…

“Hoo!”

She took a few deep breaths and thought of many unrelated things to her father before finally suppressing the anger and resentment in her heart.

“Ziming, why aren’t you by my side… when I need you the most?” she softly mumbled, lowering her head in sorrow.

After sitting silently for a while, she picked up her phone.

The man had not contacted her ever since he sent that text.

She gave him another call, but it was still the same; his phone was not switched on.

“Ziming…”

She suddenly started feeling uneasy.

She did not wait for his call any longer but made inquiries on his whereabouts.

“Hello, is this Du Wen?”

She first called his personal assistant, but the result was that the man did not know where his boss was.

“What? You don’t know where he is, too?”

“I apologize, Miss Pei. CEO’s trip this time is more secretive and is related to trade secrets, so I am unaware of his exact location, too.”

She suddenly could not control her emotions upon hearing this.

“I am his soon-to-be wife, so even if it’s a trade secret, I still have the right to know, right?”

“I’m really sorry. I truly don’t know boss’s whereabouts this time. I only know that he left the country.”

His words gave her another huge blow.

“Then, why is his handphone off if he is on an overseas business trip?”

“I apologize. I truly don’t know anything.”

At his ignorance, she could only hang up in an extremely bad mood.

She tightly bit down on her lower lip as she watched her phone display dim.

After sitting by herself silently for a while, she made another call. This time, it was to the man’s best friend, Mu Heng.

“Yo, Little Chili, how rare! You actually called me. Why? Is there something on?”

The guy’s upbeat voice made her roll her eyes before asking reluctantly, “Hey. Let ask you. Do you know where Ziming went for his business trip? Why is his phone switched off? I can’t contact him even now.”

“Huh? You can’t contact him? Are you serious?! Did something happen between you two?”

He blinked in shock.

She rolled her eyes in exasperation and spat, “How is that possible?! We are totally fine!”

“Oh, oh, oh! You guys are totally fine! Then, why are you calling me? My relationship with him isn’t even as close as yours with him!” He teased her.

“…Mu Heng, can you please be more serious? I am truly asking you this very seriously!” She sucked in a deep breath and tried to curb her desire to lash out at the guy.

As though he was frightened by her tone, he was much more obedient this time. “Okay. I understand.”

“Then, do you have any news about Ziming? I’m truly very worried and anxious about him.”

“Er… Little Chili, actually, you don’t need to be anxious. Nothing happened to him. He is totally fine!”

She instantly got agitated when she heard this.

“You know where he is!”

“No, I don’t know where he is either, but before he left, he told me that he’s going on an overseas business trip.”

“Is that so? How do you know he is fine, then?”

“Which time did he go overseas and not eat the best meal and sleep in a five-star presidential suite? Of course, he is fine!”

“…”

For some reason, she always got the urge to hack the guy to death each time he spoke.

“Alright. You don’t need to be worried. Maybe your man is having wedding jitters and wants to be left alone to relax.”

Seeing that she was truly very worried, Mu Heng could only console her.

Still, this consoling clearly made her even unhappier.

“Go to hell with your wedding jitters!”

Finally, she could not hold back from cursing and angrily hung up the call.

“That guy is indeed unreliable!”

Feeling vexed and downcast, she leaned against her chair.

She did not believe the guy’s words at all.

Still, she was a little affected by his obvious nonsense.

“Is… Ziming truly having wedding jitters, so he’s gone missing?”

She herself found this to be ridiculous after she spoke it aloud.

“Pei Ge, I think your brain is truly fried… How can he be that type of person…”

Just as she was consoling herself, Mu Heng was also muttering, “Ji Ziming… Ji Ziming, I say, what have you done? I told you not to meet Little Chili but not to switch off your phone and go missing… Don’t you know that doing this will make her very worried…”
