The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 583 - 547 Sorry

Last time Huo Yanxin gave Shi Tan three days in the country, asking if she wanted to leave together.

But when the three days were up, Shi Tan did not appear.

Huo Yanxin even changed her flight time.

She waited at the airport from morning till afternoon, but no one showed up.

She knew Shi Tan wouldn’t come.

But she still stubbornly waited at the airport.

The day she left.

Qiao Yuxian went to the airport to see her off once in the morning, and when she saw she hadn’t left, she went again in the afternoon.

Then, before Huo Yanxin boarded the plane, she said to her.

The next time she saw Shi Tan, she would be the biggest dog in M Continent!

Qiao Yuxian didn’t know how big the biggest dog in M Continent was, she wanted to see it.

She said, "Then I’ll make the call."

Huo Yanxin remained silent.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Should I really call?"

"If you can bear it, go ahead." Huo Yanxin replied.

"I can bear it quite well. My relationship with her isn’t that deep," Qiao Yuxian said.

Huo Yanxin again fell silent.

The music on her end grew quieter, leaving only the sound of the wind.

Qiao Yuxian waited a moment before calling out, "Sis..."

"Hanging up," Huo Yanxin interrupted, "Do whatever you want, just don’t ask me."

Then she hung up the phone.

Qiao Yuxian looked at the phone that had been hung up.

Gu Yanjing said, "She will come."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him.

Gu Yanjing also looked at her.

The two stared at each other from two to three meters apart for a moment, then Gu Yanjing walked over to her and held her in his arms.

"It’s okay, don’t take it to heart." Gu Yanjing patted her head and kissed her on the side of her ear.

Qiao Yuxian wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face in his shoulder, murmuring after a while, "I’m sorry."

"What’s there to be sorry about?" Gu Yanjing stroked her ear.

Qiao Yuxian said, "We let Gu Yao get away this time, so we can’t prove his involvement in the explosion incident. He left nothing at the scene, and we didn’t catch him. He once again managed to get away. So the recognition banquet has to go on as usual..."

Gu Yanjing cupped her face, making her look up at him: "Holding the recognition banquet was always in the plan."

"But if we caught him tonight, it wouldn’t be necessary," Qiao Yuxian said, "It would save a lot of trouble."

Gu Yanjing looked into her eyes: "But Gu Yao and Chen Xi might not have been in the car."

Qiao Yuxian’s eyelashes fluttered slightly: "But what if they were?"

"Then we let them get away." Gu Yanjing kissed her slightly dry lips, "I’ll handle the rest."

Qiao Yuxian didn’t say anything else.

Gu Yanjing gently rubbed her face: "So, how did you miss?"

Qiao Yuxian looked up at him.

Gu Yanjing had attractive brows and eyes, always with a trace of coldness, but if looked closely, there was a fine gentleness deep inside.

Qiao Yuxian stared into the depth of his eyes, after a while, feeling a bit sad she said, "I don’t know, it just suddenly went off course."

Gu Yanjing’s eyes showed a hint of laughter.

Qiao Yuxian said, "I should have let you shoot."

Gu Yanjing chuckled and said, "I’m not that accurate anyway."

"Mr. Gu, is this how you comfort someone?" Qiao Yuxian said.

"Mm." Gu Yanjing kissed her lips again.

Qiao Yuxian was silent for a moment, and then said, "Okay. I feel a bit comforted."

Gu Yanjing smiled.

Qiao Yuxian raised her hand to hold his: "I should still go to see Shi Tan."

"When will Huo Yanxin come?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"She probably won’t come quickly." Qiao Yuxian said, "Princess Huo has quite a face to save."

Gu Yanjing placed his hand on her waist, pulling her closer: "Get some sleep first."

"Okay." Qiao Yuxian wrapped her arms around his neck, jumped onto him, wrapping her legs around his waist.

Gu Yanjing immediately supported her and kissed her on the side of her neck, carrying her to the bedroom.

...

Qiao Yuxian didn’t sleep very soundly this time.

In a daze, she kept dreaming.

Dreaming of Shi Tan, dreaming of Gu Yao, dreaming of Chen Xi, dreaming of Gu Yanjing, dreaming of Huo Yanxin, dreaming of herself seeing nothing...

So as soon as the sky brightened, she woke up, hurriedly took a shower to wake up.

After waking up she skipped breakfast and quickly went to find Shi Tan.

A temporary room was set up in the apartment to hold Shi Tan.

When Qiao Yuxian went in, Shi Tan was sitting by the bed, one hand cuffed to the headboard, her head lowered, lost in thought.

Upon hearing a sound, she didn’t even look up, as if she’d blocked out the outside world.

Although Qiao Yuxian hadn’t eaten, she brought food for Shi Tan.

She placed the food on the bedside table, saying, "Bought nearby. All things you like to eat."

Qiao Yuxian tried to evoke some feelings between them.

But judging from the looks of it, she failed.

Shi Tan didn’t even blink.

Seeing her reaction, Qiao Yuxian silently sighed in her heart.

She finally understood that feeling Huo Yanxin described when Shi Tan wouldn’t utter a single word. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Shi Tan, silence won’t solve anything." Qiao Yuxian sat on the chair opposite her, leaning back, looking at her.

Shi Tan didn’t respond.

Qiao Yuxian added, "When you usually assign me tasks, you’re pretty articulate, aren’t you? You’re quite tough when you catch me working."

Shi Tan still gave no reaction.

After a while, Qiao Yuxian said again, "Is it because the environment is unfamiliar, you can’t find the words? How about... I set up some voice-over equipment here, and we can talk. Or we can go to the studio?"

Who knows which nerve it triggered.

Shi Tan finally had some reaction, she looked up at Qiao Yuxian.

In the time Qiao Yuxian had slept, the injuries on Shi Tan’s face had worsened, swelling had increased.

The wound at the corner of her mouth had torn, swollen and red around it.

Her eye corners were also swollen.

The brow, cheekbones all red and swollen, bruised purple.

Not to mention the places on her body that couldn’t be seen, how badly injured they might be.

Qiao Yuxian looked at her appearance, after a while said, "I’ll go find some medicine for you."

Shi Tan’s eyes followed her, as Qiao Yuxian got up her gaze rose.

Just as Qiao Yuxian was about to turn and walk away, Shi Tan said, "Have you told Huo Yanxin?"

She suddenly spoke, Qiao Yuxian immediately looked at her.

Running through her head, she realized what she was talking about.

"Ah, yeah." Qiao Yuxian replied.

Shi Tan’s eyes shifted, then lowered again, "Is she coming?"

"What do you think?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"I don’t know." Shi Tan said, "I don’t want to see her. Even if I do see her, I won’t say anything. So don’t waste your efforts."

"Are you that afraid to see her?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

Shi Tan again fell silent.

Qiao Yuxian said, "She didn’t say she would come to me. But whether she will come or not, you know yourself. Just like she knew you wouldn’t go to the airport."

Shi Tan’s fingertips suddenly curled up.

Qiao Yuxian said again, "The day she returned to M Continent, she waited at the airport from morning until the afternoon."

Shi Tan’s breath suddenly shook.

There was no visible change in her emotions.

Her expression was well controlled.

But her breath gave her away.

Qiao Yuxian looked at her, said nothing more, and walked out to get the medicine.

But as she reached the door, opened it, Shi Tan spoke again, "Qiao Yuxian, I’m sorry."
