Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 117

Shu Tian didn't sleep for almost a night with tears running down. Ultimately, her eyes hurt from crying

but still couldn't stop weeping. She was immersed in sadness and couldn't get rid of it.

When she got up the next day, her pillow was still wet. She walked into the bathroom, looked at her

ghostly pale face in the mirror, and weakly tugged at the corner of her lips.

After waiting all night, there was still no news of him.

Disappointment turned to despair, no hope finally.

That would be all.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Shu Tian's rims of eyes turned red again. She turned on the

tap, the sound of running water ringing in her ears, and put a handful of water on her face, unable to tell

tears from water.

She didn't and had no mood to go to work. She didn't want to face anything related to Li Han, afraid

that she would cry out for an emotional breakdown.

She didn't want anyone to see her coward, nor could she face the sweet places she spent with him.

"Ding!"

Suddenly, the phone rang. She deliberately turned up her phone ring to the maximum volume in case

of missed any call. Shu Tian quickly picked up the phone but saw the caller ID on the screen was not

the person she expected the most.

After a second, she answered the phone, hearing Fu Qingtong's crisp and impatient voice. "I can't

stand it anymore. I really can't stand it anymore. My father keeps bothering me again!"

Shu Tian was restless and replied indifferently. "What's wrong?"

"It's still about work. He is always wanting to control me. I'm a fucking person, not a tool. I have been

twenty-four! Can't I decide what I want to do?" Fu Qingtong was so annoyed that she almost screamed

out loud, "I'm too irritated. I'll go on vacation. No one would find me! Just leave them anxious!"

Shu Tian's eyelashes trembled slightly. "Where do you want to go?"

"I still haven't made a decision yet, H City? That's an island. I've always wanted to go there but have no

chance."

"Let's go together."

"Well, mainly... Hey, wait, what did you say? Together? You're going there too?" Only then did Fu

Qingtong realize that something was wrong with Shu Tian's mood. "Did something happen to you?"

The corner of Shu Tian's mouth shook slightly, but she held back. "It's nothing. I simply want to take a

rest recently."

"Will your Mr. Li allows you to run out by yourself?" Fu Qingtong said quick, but then she regretted it

immediately. It was obvious that there was something wrong between the two of them. So she

immediately changed the topic. "Why don't you come to me and we can talk to each other face to

face?"

"Okay, I'll pack up now."

Hearing that she was about to pack up, Fu Qingtong opened and shut his mouth, finally only saying,

"Be careful on the way."

"Okay."

At nine in the morning, Shu Tian had packed her suitcase. She went back to the living room and took a

look at the phone on the table. There was still no text message or call.

She put down her phone numbly, dragged her luggage, and turned to walk towards the door, step by

step. The door closed, the room turned to be quiet.

[...]

Forty minutes later, a taxi stopped in front of the Fu family's villa. Although it was not as grand as

Imperial Villa, it was still very luxurious.

Shu Tian rang the doorbell and soon the door opened.

As soon as she entered the living room, Fu Qingtong bumped into her, hugging her and said, "Nice of

you to turn up. I'm so depressed at home!"

It was Monday, so the Fu Qingtong's house was very quiet. Shu Tian was much more relaxed. There

was too much news about her recently, she was afraid that she would be embarrassed when seeing Fu

Qingtong's parents.

"You really came with your suitcase?" Fu Qingtong asked the servant to pull Shu Tian's suitcase in.

"What's wrong? Did you quarrel with Mr. Li?"

"Well, it doesn't matter. I just want to relax." Shu Tian didn't tell her for she didn't know how to say.

Such a thing seemed unacceptable no matter how to say.

Seeing her struggle, Fu Qingtong stopped asking and made a decision. "In that case, let's go to H City

for holiday. You ask for a leave and then we'll stay in H City for half a month, okay?"

"Okay." Shu Tian smiled. It's no problem for her to stay longer, not to mention half a month.

The two of them looked at the plane tickets for the day, seeing there was a direct flight. So they booked

two tickets and rushed to the airport.

On the way, Fu Qingtong drove while Shu Tian sat in the passenger seat. She looked out of the window

at the street view all the way. The flowers and pedestrians faded from her view, so did her uneasiness.

"Tong, I didn't bring my cell phone when I came out. If anyone contacts you recently, you just say that

you don't know where I am."

Fu Qingtong looked at her in surprise. "Why are you pretending to be missing? If Li Han can't find you,

will he skin me alive?"

Shu Tian smiled bitterly. "He doesn't have time to care about me."

Fu Qingtong was worried about her. Looking at her expression now, Fu Qingtong felt that things were

more complicated than she thought.

"Tian, you just have to know that no matter what happens, I will always be on your side."

Shu Tian was really moved. She closed her eyes and nodded and her voice was slightly choked.

"Thank you."

[...]

Li Han, who was in the Q City, had no idea about Shu Tian's situation. At ten o'clock in the morning, he

was woken up by a loud knock on the door. He stood up from the bed with a splitting headache, still NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

wearing his formal dress from last night's party.

Recalling what happened yesterday, he frowned slightly. Did he drink so much that he was drunk like

this?

He walked to open the door with slightly unsteady steps. Zhang Bikun stood outside the door, looking

anxious. "Mr. Li, are you okay? I had knocked on the door for a long time, but you hadn't responded

before. We have a meeting at noon."

Li Han pressed his temple, which hurt a lot. "Was I drunk last night?"

Zhang Bikun recalled that Li Han was unsteady last night and nodded. "It seemed to be."

Li Han felt something was wrong. "Did anything happen last night?"

"What happened..." Zhang Bikun said truthfully. "After I helped you back to your room last night, you

asked me to leave."

Li Han thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, I see."

After returning to his room, Li Han picked up his phone, glanced at the call log, then found Shu Tian's

number and dialled it. No one answered the call. Then he called again but still didn't get the answer.

He looked at the time. It was 10: 30 in the morning. Maybe she was probably busy now?

Li Han hung up the phone. Thinking of the meeting later, he quickly washed up and dressed, deciding

to call her after the meeting.

But he did not expect that she had disappeared.

At 12: 30 noon, the meeting ended, and a group of executives in suits filed out, surrounding Li Han.

Several of them were whispering when Zhang Bikun suddenly came over with the phone. "Mr Li, Miss

Shu is out of touch..."
