Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The butler bit his tongue. When he met Shangxin’s gaze, he hesitated for a few seconds before explaining, “Actually, at the last minute, President Tang went out for a work trip. He was concerned that you would be worried, as such… As such, he forbade me from informing you.”
Shangxin’s eyes grew solemn when she heard this.
Since he was merely out for a work trip, why did he keep it from her?
Furthermore, judging from the butler’s expression, she could tell that he was hiding something from her.
What exactly has happened?
The atmosphere in the entire Tang Family villa suddenly turned extremely strange and she could feel the pressure inside, even if she did not continue pursuing the matter. It was obvious that something had happened.
Something major!
Shangxin felt an unspeakable feeling of panic swim up to her throat.
She had a feeling that something of great importance to her was about to disappear…

She could not simply wait in the Tang Family villa like a fool for his return.
“Where did he go on his work trip? Did he mention how many days he would be away for? Give me the address, I will go and look for him.” Shangxin spoke in a persistent tone.
After the questions were continuously shot toward him, the butler appeared to be muddled.
“Miss Shangxin, you are pregnant now and it will be inconvenient for you to leave the house…”
Shangxin replied, “The baby is very obedient and I have had no signs of morning sickness during my pregnancy. Furthermore, my tummy isn’t big so it’s definitely convenient for me to head out of the house.”
The butler was rebutted to the extent that he did not know how to reply to her. A while later, he finally forced a sentence out.
“President Tang only mentioned that he was going for a work trip and he did not tell us where he was going.”
“What about the assistant? His assistant should know, right?” Shangxin stumped the butler with her question yet again. When she saw that the butler could not reply to her questions, she was certain that something must have happened.
If Tang Yuansi had indeed forbidden the butler from telling her, she would not be able to get an answer even if she continued asking.
Shangxin’s eyes flickered and she pursed her lips lightly.
“Forget it, I am a little tired anyway. I shall not disturb him if he is busy now. I’ll go and have my meal first.”
After she had finished speaking, Shangxin entered the dining room pretending nothing had happened.
She sat down at the dining table alone. As she stared at the wholesome spread of food on the table, she picked up her chopsticks and started to eat.
Even though her face revealed no abnormalities, she was already wondering where he might have gone. The source of this ᴄontent is novelenglish.net . (f)ire
All of a sudden, she remembered the time when Nian Xiaomu told her that she had once seen Tang Yuansi in the hospital.
Could it be that this time…
Shangxin’s heart tightened in an instant!
“Miss Shangxin, this is the soup that President Tang had specially ordered to be boiled for you. Drink more of it, it’s good for you and the baby.” The considerate butler scooped a bowl of soup for her.
“…”
As Shangxin bit her lip, she felt awful with all the hidden emotions in her heart.
If something had happened to Tang Yuansi and yet he chose to hide it from her, then he would definitely have someone who would report whatever she did in the Tang Family villa to him.

Reaching out, Shangxin took the bowl of soup from the butler and sipped on it mouthful by mouthful.
She still forced herself to have a filling meal even though she did not have much of an appetite.
“I am tired, I’ll return to my room to rest now.”
Shangxin placed her chopsticks down. Then, she exited the dining room and headed up the stairs.
The butler watched as her figure disappeared by the staircase landing before he hurried to the corded phone in the living room and gave someone a call.
Shangxin, who was supposed to be upstairs, was standing on the staircase landing behind him.
The staircase landing was some distance away from the corded phone and she could not hear what the butler was saying. However, this was enough to prove that the butler was indeed hiding something from her.
She collected her thoughts and went upstairs.
She called Tang Yuansi as she sat on the tatami in the room.
Both his and the assistant’s cell phones were switched off.
Shangxin was not at all surprised.
Biting her lip, she dialed Nian Xiaomu’s phone…
