Chapter 46: Qian Tao Disappeared

“If only your husband could spare us, we would not harm you!”

Qian Tao sighed. With a heavy heart, she voiced out, “Brother…”

“Don’t make noise!” The person swore, “***! I’ve just called the reception of Wan Feng Group and they ignored me! They said that Mrs. Xiao is in good shape. Damn…when a tiger doesn’t show its power, they treat me like a sickly cat!”

Qian Tao was speechless.

If the reception really did call to verify Qian Churui’s safety, of course they would think you were crazy…

Sigh! Such an unlucky encounter! Would I be Qian Churui’s scapegoat today?

***

In the hotel, Qian Churui was in a bad mood.

They had checked the weather forecast and today, their wedding day, was supposed to be a fine day, but there was a thundershower all of a sudden. As it was an unforeseen heavy rain, they did not have canopies outside. The wedding ceremony, which had not begun yet, had to be delayed until the rain became lighter. The wedding service provider had quickly gone off to borrow umbrellas to be used when the rain turned into a drizzle.

All the guests were standing in the lobby. The Xiao and the Qian families ordered the hotel to prepare some appetizers for the guests while waiting for the rain to subside.

Boom! The thunder roared furiously just like it had that night. The sound of thunder scared several women in the hall and they screamed, while some frightened children started crying.

At the VIP area, a man was sitting gracefully with one leg over the other. Holding a glass of red wine, he looked as if he did not hear the commotion outside.

However, his forehead started creasing into a frown.

At this moment, in which man’s embrace would she be hiding?

Yan Hai returned quickly, shook his head, and reported, “Mr. Li, I’ve looked around but I did not see Miss Qian.”

“You didn’t?”

“No, maybe there were too many people and I missed her. I’ll go and take a look again.”

The moment Yan Hai turned around, a man walked towards them.

It was Qian Chenhai.

Although Qian Chenhai was the mayor, he dared not neglect the most authoritative man in Sea City. When the wedding ceremony had to be paused momentarily, he quickly came over to apologize. “Mr. Li, I’m really sorry. We’ve never thought that there would be a thundershower. Sorry to have wasted your precious time.”

Li Hengzhi raised his long and narrow eyes and replied, “It’s alright.”

“I’ve heard that you came right after you arrived at the airport. It’s our honor. It looks like this thundershower will not stop for an hour or so. I’ve prepared a room for you, Mr. Li. Would you like to go up and get some rest…”

Before Qian Chenhai could finish his words, Su Ye, who was walking toward them, called out, “Chenhai!”

Su Ye saw Li Hengzhi too, but she seemed too busy to greet him. She pulled Qian Chenhai aside and muttered, “I can’t find Tao anywhere and I can’t get through to her by phone! Do you think she will…”

“How could it be?” Qian Chenhai became tense after hearing what Su Ye told him and couldn’t attend to Li Hengzhi. “This morning before she left the house, Tao told me she will be punctual.”

They were speaking very softly but Li Hengzhi, who was sitting not very far away, heard them.

Yan Hai was surprised and so was Li Hengzhi.

So, it was not him who could not locate Miss Qian. It was Miss Qian who had not arrived?

“I am to blame!” Su Ye hit her own hand and felt very upset. “I shouldn’t have called Tao!”
