358 Worried Sick
On the other hand, Song Xueyun had been worried sick this morning. She was walking back and forth in the room holding her phone against her ear but the operator was saying the same thing in her ear again and again. It was the time when she wished that the phone operator would stop speaking nonsense or she would lose her calm.
She had always been known for her calm nature and she would never want to use violence to achieve anything but right now she wanted to throw her useless phone against the wall. Although she knew that violence against her phone would solve nothing, she still couldn’t put this thought away from her head. All she wanted was for the damn operators to stop saying the same thing that was saying for almost two days now. Yes, she knew the operator was not at fault but she was a human and humans tend to put blame on others when they didn’t achieve a certain thing.
She had been calling Han Nanxian for the entire day. He didn’t answer her calls. How would he answer her calls when his phone was switched off? What kind of stupid person does something like that? What would his family and friends do if they couldn’t connect with him? What if someone had urgent work with him and he was nowhere to be found? He was seriously such a fool and she wanted to lash out at him.
All she wanted was for him to switch on that damn phone and she swore that she would not scold him. Okay, fine. She would not lie and swore that she would scold him only a little. More than anything, she wanted him to take her calls.
She was dying to know if he was fine. She wanted to know if he was not sick. Or if their dog was good.
What could she do in a situation like this? Her head was overthinking at a frantic speed. The trauma of him leaving in the past was still there and she didn’t want to go through the same thing again. She knew more than anyone how much it hurt when someone leaves her. She wanted to push these thoughts away but it was getting impossible now. The questions started forming in her head and she couldn’t control them anymore.
Did he leave for the USA again?
Did he leave her all alone?
Was he lying when he said he loved her?
She couldn’t imagine a world where he was not there and what would she do if he really left for America and never came back? He hadn’t been part of her world for long and she was already losing her head over him.
She knew that they were stupid, dumb and impulsive and marriage was a big deal. If he talked to her, she would listen to him and do things how he liked them to be. He wanted to take things slow? Fine. He wanted her to sign annulment papers. Fine, she would do it.
She just wanted to know if he was alright and alive.
A knock was heard on the door and a while later a servant appeared at the door. He seemed to be sent by grandpa Han to call her downstairs.
“Young Madam, Old Master is calling for you, “The servant said.
Song Xueyun was in awe of how everyone had adapted to new titles when the man who gave her such titles was nowhere in sight. Everything changed in her life because of Han Nanxian. Her life was not the same anymore. He was the factor that caused all the changes in her life and what an irony that the cause behind the changes changed so unexpectedly.
This made her think about what she would do when Yeye would ask her if she talked to Han Nanxian. It was not a question that Yeye would not ask her about Han Nanxian. He would certainly ask but what answer could she possibly give him?
Yesterday, she told him that Han Nanxian was busy with work and he wasn’t able to take her calls but what would she say today? She didn’t want to lie. She felt bad after lying. She was already feeling a lot of guilt for hiding the truth from her friends and family. She was running away from An Xiulan and Lu Xuan because she felt guilty about hiding such a big thing from them.
Keeping all the worries to the back of her head, she put on a smile and followed the servant out. When she reached downstairs, she saw grandfather sitting on the sofa in the living room. He seemed to be watching an action movie and when she reached him, he turned to look at her with a big wide smile and asked, “Xueyun, why aren’t you ready yet? I asked Miss Qi to not wake you up early as you need more sleep. Did you have a good night’s sleep? How are you feeling on your first day of work in a new house?”
This reminded her that she had to go to the office today. It was her first day of work. How could she forget about it? She was such a stupid woman. That man had made her crazy. Work had always been her life and today she forgot about it. If someone were to know that she forgot about work on the very first day of it, they would bring her to the hospital as it didn’t sound like her at all.
“Thank you for asking, Yeye, “Song Xueyun said. She lied again and guilt took residence in her heart. “I’m just going to get ready and then leave the office.”
“Go get ready then we will have breakfast, “Grandfather Han said, nodding his head.
Song Xueyun looked at him and asked, “Yeye, you didn’t have breakfast yet? It’s so late. How could you miss your meals? This is not a good habit at all.”

A/N: I know all of you are waiting for updates. I wrapped up ‘Flash Marriage’ soon so I can return here. I have yet to edit the last chapters and mark that book completed.
pAnD a(-)n0ve1.com
I have decided that I would update 30 chapters at least of this month in the whole world but those chapters won’t be regular. I would give 10 chapters 3 times. On batch of 10 chapters can take two days. This is the only solution that I have right now.
Kindly, give your love and support to my Romance Carnival entry. It is a university centred book. I know you all wanted to read College life in this book but you didn’t get. So, try that book and give your feedback.
Rebirth: The Trouble With Hating You! is out now.
