Chapter 472: Chapter 469
Wen Xian nearly spat out a mouthful of blood as she listened to the voice on the phone.
Her throat constricted, making breathing difficult.
“Damn it, Lu Xiao, you’re nothing but a coward—!”
He only contacted her just before boarding the plane and turned off his phone immediately after the call; wasn’t this clearly avoiding her?
Obviously, he was scared of settling accounts with her.
It was just too much.
In the end, Wen Xian was so exasperated that she didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
She slammed the phone onto the bed and, no longer able to sleep, decided to get up and pack.
She had an advertisement endorsement to shoot today.
Lu Xiao had done a fine job; he had left, hadn’t he? Hiding from her, right?
Very well, she had decided not to have him come to find her in Shanghai. After the endorsement was done, she would go to him directly.
And then she would settle the score with him properly!!
Thinking she would let him slip away? No way, not even through the window. Whoever self-married this wife, must take responsibility!
…
Days flew by, and soon Wen Xian finished all her shooting.
Today was December 30th, with only one more day before the new year.
Wen Xian had already booked her flight ticket to Qinghai, set for New Year’s Eve.
However, she hadn’t contacted Lu Xiao these past few days, and what impressed Wen Xian was that Lu Xiao hadn’t tried to reach out to her either.
If she didn’t know the kind of man he was, she would have cursed him as a jerk.
But what could she do? He was her husband, her own choice. If he wasn’t going to take the initiative, she would have to.
…
Wen Xian drove back to her house to get ready and pack her luggage.
It had been overcast and drizzling in Shanghai recently, casting a gloomy light, so Wen Xian turned on all the lights as soon as she entered.
But the lights didn’t come on when she pressed the switch.
She frowned.
What was going on?
She tried other switches and found that none of them worked—it must be a power outage.
Changing her shoes as she walked into the living room, she took out her phone to call the property management to report the situation.
Upon hearing the situation, the manager immediately said:
“I’m very sorry, Miss Wen. The circuits have been having issues lately because of the rain. I’ll arrange for an electrician to look into it right away.”
After hanging up, Wen Xian waited for their arrival.
There was usually a backup power source in the elevator, so it wasn’t a big issue, but as Wen Xian waited, her patience started to run out; she still needed to pack and head to the airport.
After a while, two uniformed electricians finally arrived.
“Hello, Miss Wen, we’ve come to check the electricity.”
Wen Xian nodded slightly to them and, without any chit-chat, said directly, “Please do, and let me know when it’s fixed.”
With that, she went into the bedroom to pack her things.
She wasn’t worried about them doing anything besides fixing the electricity, since she lived alone and, aside from the luxurious decor, there were not many valuable items on display.
Taking into account Qinghai’s devilish weather and her love for fashion, Wen Xian packed many warm clothes and shoes.
This time, she also planned to truly relax. She wanted to find a place to stay, sit by the stove, sip hot tea, and watch the snow outside, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Although the temperature in Shanghai was in the teens, the scary part was the same temperature inside and outside her house; she was on the verge of catching a cold.
Not like in the north, where despite the cold outside, the inside of the room was warm enough to eat ice cream.
Then, as she was packing her luggage—
