Although Yan Kuan's voice was very soft, Xu Nianyi could still hear him clearly in the quiet bedroom. Without any hesitation, Xu Nianyi immediately shook his head, his little head shaking like a rattle, worried that Yan Kuan would not understand what she meant, and at the same time shaking his head, he raised his hands to follow, and said silently, "Don't tell Shao Jun I it's here!"
Yan Kuan looked at her quietly, nodded silently, then let go of his right hand covering the microphone, and said softly to Shao Jun on the other end of the phone: "Brother, do you have anything to order?"
"Did you go to the Holiday Inn on the beach this afternoon?" Shao Jun asked coldly through the receiver.
"Well, send a friend there. What's the matter?" Yan Kuan didn't change his face, even the tone of his speech.
"Nianyi hasn't come home yet. I am sending people to look for her. I have searched many places but there is no sign of her. I just transferred the surveillance from my friend in the Ministry of Public Security. The surveillance showed that she boarded a taxi. However, the taxi drove near the Holiday Inn in Chenghai Beach, and there was no electronic eye there. The traffic police had detained the taxi, but there was no Nian Yi in the car. The driver said that Nian Yi got off at the embankment. You passed by there in the afternoon, so I called to ask if you met Nian Yi."
"Really? The current situation is that my sister-in-law is missing?" Yan Kuan pretended to be surprised, "I sent my friend to the hotel in the afternoon and went home. I didn't meet my sister-in-law. By the way, my sister-in-law's frequent friends Have you found all of them?"
"I called and asked everyone I could find, but none of them saw Nian Yi." Shao Jun's voice on the phone suddenly felt a little lost, "Besides, she doesn't have many friends here."
"Or sister-in-law just went to some teahouse or entertainment place to relax."
"I've looked for it all. I sent people to the famous nightclubs, KTVs and bars in the city, but I couldn't find Nian Yi." Shao Jun paused, then asked, "Have you seen him?" Nian Yi, or did Nian Yi call you?"
"No." Yan Kuan's voice was full of innocence, "Why would elder brother ask such a question? I don't have much contact with my sister-in-law. If there is no urgent matter, she probably wouldn't contact me."
"Don't have much contact?" Shao Jun's words suddenly became a little more unhappy, "Didn't you have dinner with Nian Yi at the same restaurant not long ago? You have a good relationship, I thought she would come to you. "
Yan Kuan's softly contoured face froze involuntarily, then relaxed again, and said with a smile: "Brother, it seems that I haven't satisfied you with my sister-in-law for food and drink. Last time I met my sister-in-law in the hospital, I helped her find a few experts, and just in time for the meal, I ordered a few of my favorite dishes with the cheek. Fortunately, that day, my sister-in-law was not angry."
"She is fine and angry, but thanks to you, she has started to like spicy food." There was a faint sourness in Shao Jun's words.
Yan Kuan smiled and apologized to Shao Jun, speaking in a very submissive tone, "Brother, if not, I will go out to find my sister-in-law, and I will tell you if there is any news."
"If you see Nian Yi, call me as soon as possible." Shao Jun threw out these words and hung up the phone.
There was only a busy tone on the receiver.
Yan Kuan slowly put the microphone back in his hand, then raised his head to look at Xu Nianyi who was on the bed again, and sighed helplessly: "I have never lied in front of my elder brother. I am so nervous that my palms are sweating." gone."
"But seeing that your face doesn't blush and your heart beats when you speak, at least you are more proficient than me." Xu Nianyi sighed in admiration.
"When you really get in touch with domestic business meetings, you will know that those people's acting skills are even more superb than mine, and they are all hypocritical. They don't know what they are doing, but they still flatter you."
"Well, I don't know much about domestic shopping malls, but I just heard Brother Li mention it occasionally." Xu Nianyi raised his hand to comb the hair scattered on his forehead, and said softly, "I did it in Africa. The president of the Rothschild family branch, work is work, life is life, and he will never bring up the contract when he is having a meal with others. I still don’t understand why those people want to negotiate the contract at the wine table. There is a signature, drinking is not conducive to clear mind, why is it completely different here."
Yan Kuan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a row of white teeth, and smiled brightly and heartily: "Get used to it slowly, the wine table culture in China has been deeply ingrained. It is only after I have been in business for a long time that I have learned to lie without blushing." When you are in a good mood and go back to work in the company, you can also enjoy it.”
"Forget it, I will definitely not be able to resist exposing some faces that disgust me." Xu Nian shook her head, although there was no smile on her face, but under Yan Kuan's comfort, her mood has obviously improved a lot.
Yan Kuan didn't sit back on the chair, but stood there quietly: with his hands in the pockets of his slacks, he asked gently, "Are you hungry, what do you want to eat?"
Reminded by Yan Kuan, Xu Nian subconsciously raised his hand to touch his stomach. I haven't eaten or drank a sip of water all afternoon, and now I realize that I'm really thirsty and hungry.
"Why don't you eat snow clams stewed with official swallows? The kitchen downstairs should have already stewed them. I'm afraid they will cool down and keep simmering on the fire when you wake up. It won't taste good after a while." Looking at Xu Nian Frowning and thinking, Yan Kuan simply made a suggestion, "As for the staple food, how about steak, or home-cooked dishes?"
"Do you usually eat bird's nest?" Xu Nianyi gave Yan Kuan a strange look, seeing his delicate and fair face, he couldn't help but become a curious baby, "No wonder you have such a fair face like Shao Jun, and you usually eat bird's nest Can you make it up?"
Bird's nest is mostly eaten by women, and it is generally eaten by official wives or young rich women for a long time to maintain their bodies and beautify their skin.
"Oh, I didn't buy this bird's nest. My mother came here a while ago, and someone gave her several boxes of bird's nest, but she didn't take it away. I think it's a waste, so let the housekeeper stew some every day." Yan Kuan lightly She explained with a smile, and at the same time bent down, and put the cotton slippers on the side closest to her, "Get out of bed and move around, you've been lying on the bed all afternoon."
Xu Nian nodded, lifted the quilt and was about to slide to the bedside to put on slippers, only to find that the knee of his left leg was broken, and the skin was scratched at the size of the thumb cover, exposing a piece of bright red tender flesh . The bleeding was gone, and there were signs of scabs on the wound surface, but the injured part was the joints, and even a little movement of the legs caused severe pain.
It was easy to put on the slippers with the right foot bent down, but the left leg let alone played, just moved a little and it hurt like tearing.
Xu Nian frowned, gritted his teeth, and planned to bend his left leg enduring the pain, but before she could make a move, the slipper placed on the carpet had already been brought to her feet. She realized that the man had helped her put on the slippers on her left foot.
"Thank you." Xu Nianyi dodged back in embarrassment, an embarrassed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You have an injury here. I see that it is inconvenient to put on the shoes, so I will help you." Yan Kuan helped her put on the shoes without any other actions, still standing in front of her bed, and said lightly, "I will let the Filipino maid Come here to bandage your wound, let's go downstairs to eat first."
As he spoke, he walked to the door, and when he was about to walk out of the bedroom, he stopped again, and looked back at Xu Nianyi who was still sitting by the bed, "The injury on your leg... I'll call the Filipino maid over." help you downstairs."
As the words fell, Yan Kuan had already walked out of the bedroom.
Xu Nian glanced at the door, then looked away, and looked down at the pink slipper on his left foot.
I have to say that Yan Kuan is a very careful man.
From many details, he guessed that she ran away from home.
Shao Jun said that Yan Kuan is not a simple person, and he is always on guard against Yan Kuan. But in the few times she had been in contact with Yan Kuan, she felt that Yan Kuan was easy-going and easy-going. And in some respects, she sympathized with Yan Kuan.
Just like the relationship, when the engagement with Wen Xiangqing was cancelled, he was pressured by his own mother to go on a blind date with a girl he didn't know.
An excellent man like Yan Kuan doesn't have to worry about finding a wife at all, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the freedom to choose his own feelings.
Soon, there was a polite knock on the door.
The Filipino maid stood outside the door and nodded politely to her, then came in and helped her out of the room.
In fact, she didn't break her leg, and it's not that she can't walk, but it was because she hurt her knee joint, and every step she took involved the wound. Dotted with very small scarlet blood beads.
Especially when going down the stairs, Xu Nianyi felt that the flesh on his knees was about to split!
No bones or muscles were injured, but due to the pain, the left foot stepped on lighter than the right foot, and the two legs exerted different forces, but they walked like a cripple.
It was only then that Xu Nianyi realized the benefits of finding a Filipino maid to support him, at least to help him share some weight.
After going down the stairs and walking to the dining table, Xu Nianyi felt that his wound was already in a burning pain.
She really regretted wearing a skirt to go out in the afternoon, and when she fell, she broke her knee without protection. Now every step I take is suffering!
Yan Kuan was already sitting on the dining table waiting for her. There was already a cup of stewed snow clams with white fungus and bird's nest on the table, and there was also a delicate stainless steel ceramic spoon on the dinner plate next to it.
"You eat the bird's nest mat first, and the steak is still frying in the kitchen." Yan Kuan looked at her sitting across the table without squinting, speaking in a soft voice as before.
"It's okay, I can eat later. It's not polite for me to eat before the master has eaten." Xu Nianyi smiled politely.
Yes, she is just a guest today, and of course everyone should eat together to be polite. But this reason is only one aspect of it. The other is that when she went down the stairs, she gritted her teeth from the pain, and she couldn't eat without the strength in her mouth.
Yan Kuan didn't respond, but frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
Then Yan Kuan, who was sitting on the chair, moved, turned slightly sideways and looked down, his soft face immediately tensed up, "Your knees are bleeding?! If I had known, I wouldn't have let you go downstairs."
