Chapter 256: Chapter 255: Called a Bastard

"What happened?" The driver was even more surprised. "Aren’t we there?"

"Something came up," Wen Nuan said vaguely, giving Tong Xi’s address.

Right now, other than Tong Xi’s place, it seemed she had nowhere else to go.

"Dad, if she comes back, make sure to call me," Leng Yan repeated before getting in the car.

Wen Qingyan nodded. "Maybe she’s with friends or perhaps craving ice cream, hiding in some dessert shop. I’ll call Tong Xi later to see if they’re together."

Leng Yan had come to tell him he hadn’t picked up Wen Nuan and asked if she’d returned home. To avoid worrying him, he didn’t explain the whole situation, so Wen Qingyan was just guessing as usual, not too worried.

"I’ll call her too and check," Leng Yan nodded as the car left Wen Family’s villa. The worry on his face was well-hidden when he entered the Wen Family, but resurfaced intensely once he learned Wen Nuan hadn’t returned home.

Did she go to Tong Xi’s place?

His heart was full of worry. Her bag was still in the car, and it was unknown if she had any money on her, or if she could even pay for a taxi.

Nuannuan...

Thinking of this name, Leng Yan found Tong Xi’s number and dialed.

"Hello?"

Tong Xi was reading a script. Hearing the voice on the other end, she lazily responded without even checking the name.

Her scenes these days were quite demanding, but she happened to be just an idol-type person and couldn’t perform as a seasoned actress. She was beautiful, and with makeup, looked even more stunning and spirited. Performing the earlier parts was no problem, but there was an important scene coming up where she needed to cry. This was challenging for someone who always liked to laugh.

If she were still in the breakup phase, she might be able to cry after some preparation. But her breakup phase was too short, just one night plus a morning, and it was over. How was she supposed to cry?

Director Weng told her to go back and study the script thoroughly. She had to cry passionately no matter what.

"Tong Xi, it’s Leng Yan."

Leng Yan took a deep breath, filled with an indescribable tension, even sensing he was about to get scolded.

"Leng Yan?" The script slipped from Tong Xi’s hands onto the floor. She tossed aside the apple she was biting, swallowed hard, and asked uncertainly, "Are you Leng Yan?"

What a strange surprise!

If it were Nuannuan calling, she wouldn’t have been surprised at all, but the person on the line was Leng Yan. He had never called her before. Instinctively, she felt it must be something related to Nuannuan.

Without waiting for Leng Yan to speak, Tong Xi’s fast mouth started firing off questions: "Why are you calling me? Did something happen to Nuannuan? Is she unwell or did you bully her? Huh? Answer me!"

The longer the silence continued, the more anxious she became, finally even cursing, "Leng Yan, if you dare bully my Nuannuan, you’re such a bastard!"

"Tong Xi."

Listening to her rattle on like a machine gun, Leng Yan’s face turned black, then green, at a loss for which question to answer first. Hearing her final curse, he couldn’t help but raise his voice, a bit angry as he called her name.

"Why are you yelling?!"

Tong Xi still wasn’t calm.

"Is Nuannuan at your place? I went to the company to pick her up today, didn’t see her. She wasn’t at her father’s either. Her phone’s unreachable, so I’m calling to check." To prevent another barrage from Tong Xi, Leng Yan quickly said everything he needed to ask and then quietly listened for her response.
