《Sweetness Drowning: Callous Boss and Awkward Wife》C68. Go Back
Advertisement
Hearing the beep from the phone, Yu Fei feels tense uncontrollably, and her left hand on the table has already clenched into a fist with the blue tendons bursting. The mechanical female voice comes out of the phone and Uncle Zhang doesn’t answer it. Yu Fei stares at the missed call on the screen and gets even more nervous, because she knows if nothing happened, Uncle Zhang would definitely answer her phone. She thinks for a while and calls him again. The result is still the same. With no mood to eat, Yu Fei is anxious, pacing back and forth in the living room, not knowing what to do.
What Yu Fei does not know is Uncle Zhang, who did not answer her phone, is deeply troubled at Ko manor.
After Ko Chen wakes up and knows the crisis of company, he immediately plunges into work regardless of his physical condition and no one can stop him. This crisis is much more serious, and Ko Chen has been mentally preoccupied all the time. But he has not recovered, with excessive work, he will faint again, if he is careless. Since the last time Ko Chen was in a coma at the company, Duan Qingfeng has been living in Ko family to be on call, as he jokes. Unexpectedly, the joke becomes reality so soon. Duan Qingfeng checks Ko Chen's illness in the bedroom while Uncle Zhang waits at door. Duan is still in there but Yu Yu shows up surprisingly.
After she nearly provoked Ko Chen at the banquet that night in the master bedroom, Yu Yu has never been in the master bedroom again. On the one hand, she is still in fear, on the other hand, she plots how to revenge her humiliation on Yu Fei. Seeing Yu Yu, Uncle Zhang slightly bows to her with no change on his face, "Miss Yu." Yu Yu nods, leaning over to glance behind Uncle Zhang. Although the master bedroom door is usually closed, but for some reason she feels it a little strange .

Uncle Zhang senses that Yu Yu seems to be aware of something wrong, and hurriedly asks her, "Miss Yu is looking for Young Master? Do you want me to tell him?” Ko Chen's chilling eyes immediately emerge in front of Yu Yu’s eyes. Yu Yu can not help but shiver a little, and hurriedly waves his hand to deny, “No need to bother him. It’s nothing important. Let him concentrate on work." Then Yu Yu turns around and runs away instantly. Uncle Zhang stares at her back, watching her going downstairs, then he is a little relieved. If Yu Yu just insists on seeing Ko Chen, he really does not know what to do.
Once Yu Yu returns to the room, Wang Feng comes up and asks nervously, “What did Ko Chen say? The TV says that Ko company can survive this time. It won't be true, right?” Yu Yu struggles a little and decides to hide the fact of not seeing Ko Chen, so she says, “I saw Chen and he said that what TV said is exaggerated, in order to deceive the audience ratings. Mom, don’t believe that.” Wang Feng doesn’t seem convinced, suspiciously looking at her, "Really?" Yu Yu is uncomfortable for being stared by Wang Feng, and she tries to fool her in haste, "You may not believe me, but you should believe Ko Chen. Right? That’s exactly what he said. It can’t be wrong. If you suspect, just ask him yourself.” Yu Yu deliberately scares Wang Feng.
As expected, hearing what she said, Wang Feng gets timid instantly, mumbling, “Whatever. Even if I do not believe others, I trust you.” Although she says so, deep in her heart she is still suspicious. Other rich ladies who used to play mahjong with her almost don’t show up, and a few of them even face the crisis of bankruptcy. At the beginning, she didn't know why and asked foolishly, then they told her about this financial crisis, and warned her that Ko’s business was affected most. That's why she is so anxious to go back hurriedly and lets Yu Yu ask Ko Chen. They both hide something from each other so they both keep silent.

At the airport, a woman pushes her suitcase out. She wears a pair of big sunglasses, which blocks most of her face, but she shows her charming red lips and her small but delicate chin. Her long light brown curly hair adds a little temptation, and her long and straight legs are wrapped in jeans. A lot of people stare at her. Some people even whisper whether she is a star. Tan Lin turns a blind eye to these eyes and whispers around. She has been abroad for many years. This time she received orders from her family and goes back. Her mood is complicated, especially when thinking of that man.
At the exit, her family arranges a car to pick her up. Sitting in the car, Tan Lin takes off her sunglasses, and her beautiful face is revealed. She looks out of the car window, watching the flying scenes, strange but familiar, with some expectation. A few years ago, Tan Lin received orders from her family to go abroad for further education. After these years of studying, she has learn a lot of things that can not be learned in China, but there is no way to stop a strong sense of belonging to this land. Thinking of those chaotic days abroad, Tan Lin closes her eyes and forces herself to stop thinking.
“Miss Tan, are we going to the hotel?” The driver glances at her from the rear view mirror, asking her respectfully. Tan Lin nods, replying “hum” in a slightly indifferent tone. All the companies led by Ko Chen are affected by this domestic economic turmoil, so she is sent back to the country by her family at this critical moment. It’s so hurried that there is no time to arrange accommodation for her, so she can only temporarily stay in the hotel of her family. Back to the hotel, Tan Lin first takes a bath to wash away her exhaustion, then she wears a bathrobe and goes out of the bathroom, while her hair is still dripping with water.
It is dark now. Tan Lin pours herself a glass of wine, standing by the window and overlooking the traffic. This scene gives her a little realistic sense. Sipping wine, she feels the slightly astringent taste spreading through her mouth, with an indescribable sweetness. She feels a little drunk after drinking a while. Sitting on the sofa and checking Ko's information, she cannot help focusing on this man, Ko Chen. She and Ko Chen are truly childhood sweethearts, and they both grow up in the same family. Since childhood, Ko Chen is a handsome boy, cold to others but warm to her. She likes Ko Chen, so she always follows him, calling him “brother”. Recalling those things as a child, Tan Lin purses her the corners of her mouth spontaneously, and her fingers gently touch and rub the man's face in the photo. "Brother, we will meet again ."

A Girl and Her Food
When a lost girl wakes up without a name, she quickly finds herself alone in a way that people around her can’t fix. Without a real plan and desperate to find what’s wrong with her, she thrashes and bites to stay alive. But human beings are weak things, that band together for strength, no matter who we are. Now if only she could work up the courage to ask one question... It’s normal to get stronger when you drink the blood of monsters. Right? Things to expect: - A powerful but kinda neurotic and emotional protagonist, with some degree of weak to strong. Or maybe strong to stronger, honestly. She's pretty rational and practical about things but won't always make the best decisions, so be warned if you super-dislike characters doing dumb stuff for emotional reasons sometimes. - Lots of dialogue and characterization, especially as we get more into it. It's focused on a single POV, but there might be some sections of other POVs later on, I'm not sure right now. - Magic is on the softer side, but I'll try to keep things fleshed out enough to avoid any obvious "well-established magic could have seemingly instantly solved this problem" moments. - I didn't add the mystery tag because I feel like it implies that this is a detective novel or something, but the story is absolutely incredibly opaque at times. So you'll have the most fun if you go into it trying to puzzle out the nature of events before they're explicitly explained!😇 - Also, I added the genre for completion, but it's gonna take a while to get to the romance. Please wait warmly and have some tea. Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge!
