Chapter 959: She Lost Her Way

Lin s.h.i.+yu’s ravis.h.i.+ng face was cold and pale. No matter how much he wanted to hear her voice, she did not speak at all.

Fu Qinglun waited outside the door but did not hear her voice.

The flicker of hope in his eyes dissipated, but soon later he smiled. “s.h.i.+’s.h.i.+, I’m leaving now. I’ll pick you up later.”

He turned and left.

Sikong, who was standing by the side, blinked at Fu Qinglun anxiously, but Fu Qinglun left without looking at him.

Sikong, “…”

Although Sikong wanted to tell him about Lin s.h.i.+yu, he kept silent at the thought of Lin s.h.i.+yu putting her life at stake. Sigh, what was destined to happen would happen. This marriage would definitely not be smooth-sailing.

…

Madam Sikong pushed open the door and entered the room. “Little s.h.i.+’s.h.i.+, this is the wedding present Ah Sen sent over. Take a look and see what it this!”

Lin s.h.i.+yu glanced sideways. It was a crystal cell phone accessory and it glistened under the light. There was a red apple with green leaves hanging on the string and it looked exquisite.

“s.h.i.+yu, it seems that this red apple can be opened. Why don’t you see what’s inside?”

Tang Mo’er was a jewelry designer and she could tell at one glance that this red apple was unique.

Lin s.h.i.+yu took the crystal accessory and then smiled impishly. “Since this is my wedding gift, of course I have to open it alone. All of you can leave the room first.”

Initially, Tang Mo’er and Gu An’an were still worried about Lin s.h.i.+yu, but upon seeing her smile, they felt relieved. “Madam Sikong, let’s go out first. Someone is being lovey-dovey.”

The three of them exited the room.

It was deathly quiet in the room. As Lin s.h.i.+yu clutched the crystal accessory, she rose and stood in front of the resplendent bridal robe.

Light fingers gradually stroked the bridal robe, as if she was bidding it a final farewell…

…

At Castle Guding.

Fu Qinglun was feeling uneasy. He felt as if something bad was going to happen.

At this moment, Gu Mohan walked over. “What’s wrong?”

Fu Qinglun shook his head. “I feel like something bad is going to happen.”

Gu Mohan frowned.

A melodious cell phone ring tone sounded. He had an incoming phone call.

Fu Qinglun took out his cell phone. It was Madam Sikong’s call. He quickly received the call. “h.e.l.lo, Auntie.”

“h.e.l.lo, Ah Sen, bad news! Little s.h.i.+’s.h.i.+ is missing!”

Fu Qinglun’s black eyes narrowed. His heart instantly sank.

She was missing.

What did it mean?

It was their wedding today. Had she… escaped?

Was she regretting it?

“Auntie, what happened?” Fu Qinglun’s features were frosty.

“Ah Sen, I have no idea. Little s.h.i.+’s.h.i.+ said she wanted to be alone, and when we went back into the room, it was empty…”

At this moment, Sikong s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone over. “Ah Sen, she knows the truth.”

Ah Sen, she knows the truth.

Realization dawned on Fu Qinglun in an instant. She knew the truth! She knew!

He suddenly recollected the words she had said to him a few days ago in the hospital —-

Fu Qinglun, if you dare to cheat me into raising your son for you, I will disappear and you will never see me again.

Frowning deeply, Fu Qinglun fought hard to calm his harsh breathing. “Butler.”

“Yes, Young Master.” The butler rushed over hurriedly.

“Where is Little Lemon?”

“Young Master, Little Princess is still sleeping in the room.”

Little Lemon was staying at Castle Guding and she would be the flower girl for the wedding. Lin s.h.i.+yu had disappeared but she did not take Little Lemon along with her.

Little Lemon was her entire life. She would never forsake Little Lemon. Never.

As long as Little Lemon was still with him, he could still find her. He would. He had to.

“Quickly close all the exits in Mexico and check the air and sea routes. I must find her no matter what!”

The butler immediately followed his orders.

Fu Qinglun entered Little Lemon’s room. There was a warm yellow light in the room and Little Lemon was already awake. She was sitting on the bed and rubbing her sleepy eyes with her little fists.

“Daddy, what happened?”

Fu Qinglun draped a coat over Little Lemon and lifted her up. “Little Lemon, let’s go and find Mommy together, shall we?”

Little Lemon hugged Daddy’s neck. “Where did Mommy go?”

Fu Qinglun kissed his daughter’s forehead and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Mommy is lost and she doesn’t know her way home. We’ll go and find Mommy and bring her home, okay?”

“Mm!”

…

Fu Qinglun took Little Lemon along with him and drove his car away. Both the bride and groom had disappeared, and everyone in the Castle Guding and Sikong Residence was in a state of frenzy.

“Old Madam, what should we do now? There are only two more hours until the auspicious time is here. Should we… cancel the wedding?”

Old Madam stood in the living room. She knocked her walking stick against the floor heavily and commanded in an authoritative voice, “We’ll still proceed with the wedding. I’ll wait here to drink the cup of tea my granddaughter-in-law offers me.”

With Old Madam’s composure, everyone calmed down. “Alright, Old Madam, let’s wait for Young Madam to come home!”

Tang Mo’er rushed to the Castle Guding. Upon alighting the car, she lunged forward towards Gu Mohan’s arms sobbing away. “Hubby, s.h.i.+yu is missing. She has never been like this before… All these years, no matter where she went and how many times she has left, she would always say goodbye to me… but this time, she didn’t say anything to me, she didn’t say goodbye to me…”

Gu Mohan enveloped this sobbing woman into his arms. He hunched his body and kissed her forehead. “She didn’t say goodbye, so it means that she still wants to see you again. Perhaps Qinglun is right. She’s only lost her way.”

“Then what should we do?”

“We wait.” Gu Mohan looked up at the rising sun. “Look, the sun is coming out. Let’s wait with everyone else.”

…

It was quiet and desolate on the streets at dawn, there were hardly any cars or pedestrians. There was only a taxi cruising slowly on the road.

The driver laughed bitterly. “Lady, where exactly do you want to go? We have been going around in circles.”

At the backseat, Lin s.h.i.+yu looked out the window with her face pale. She murmured dazedly, “I don’t know where I want to go.”

“Lady, have you fallen out of love? Young people like you are too fragile nowadays. When they fall out of love, they act like it’s the end of the world. Look out the window now. There are fresh flowers placed on both sides of the road. It’s a big day today. The Young Master of the Castle Guding is going to marry and the whole of Mexico is looking forward to this grand wedding.

“It’s only temporary that you fall out of love, so you should continue to look forward. Find another man if this one is not good. Who knows, you may end up with someone who is as sentimental as the Young Master.”
