The runaway Cinderella of the billionaire president

Chapter 148 Sorry, the number you dialed is empty

Since moving out of Nanwan, Xu Zehao's life has returned to the long-lost peace.

The two people who used to be together day and night suddenly separated, but Xu Zehao did not feel any discomfort at all. He even felt a sense of relief. His days seemed calm and he continued to live in an orderly manner.

Until one late night, after he had finished dinner with a client, he drove to Nanwan for some unknown reason. He opened the car door out of habit and walked over to push the door. The door didn't move at all. He frowned and subconsciously shouted, "An An, open the door, it's me..."

As soon as he said this, Xu Zehao remembered that they had been separated for almost a month. He shook his head, chuckled self-deprecatingly, and looked a little decadent. He took a few steps back and looked up at the house.

It was already late at night, and the whole house was hidden in the darkness, leaving only a vague outline. The light on the second floor, which used to be on no matter how late he came back, was now off. There was darkness in front of him, and he suddenly felt a little suffocated.

Xu Zehao leaned against the front of the car and lit a cigarette. Just as he was about to put the cigarette into his mouth to smoke, he suddenly remembered that Zhou Yian didn't like the smell of cigarettes, so he threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it to put it out.

Perhaps it was because his rationality overturned at night that his memories burst forth at this moment. In Xu Zehao's mind, bits and pieces of their past life kept emerging. Her unbearableness faded with the passage of time, while the warmth they once had was magnified little by little, filling his entire heart. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to see her, and even wanted to hug her.

He thought of her eyes that revealed so much sorrow and her broken face when they last met, and he felt inexplicably irritated.

He looked at his watch and saw that it was already two o'clock in the morning, so he got back into the car and just sat there with his eyes closed to rest.

A thin mist spread in the early morning, the air became moist and a little cool, and the crisp chirping of birds rang in his ears. Xu Zehao's eyelids twitched a few times, and his eyes slowly opened with fatigue in them.

Because he had been sitting for too long, his feet were numb and his waist was a little sore. He stood up and stretched his muscles, then looked up at the second floor. The windows on the second floor were still closed.

Even he himself couldn't understand himself. He had been so eager to avoid her pestering him in the past, but now the desire to see her was growing like wild weeds in spring. He did not leave last night and sat in the car all night just to see her.

He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it. He took out his cell phone and called Zhou Yian. The mechanical female voice on the other end of the phone kept repeating coldly: Hello, the number you dialed is invalid, please...

Xu Zehao's heart suddenly beat violently a few times, and his intuition told him that things seemed to be not quite normal.

He ran back to the car in two steps, shifted gears and drove in reverse quickly. He did a drift and sped away. He stepped on the accelerator all the way. It usually took him more than 20 minutes to get to the destination, but he only took half the time. However, it still felt like he was driving for a long time.

He was extremely anxious and confused. After parking his car downstairs of Xu's Building, he started running into the building. Even though the elevator was already slowly descending, he kept pressing the button impatiently, wanting it to come down faster.

After hurriedly getting the keys from the office, he didn't stop for a moment, stepped on the accelerator, and drove directly back to South Bay.

Xu Zehao's hand holding the key was trembling slightly, and he tried several times before he successfully inserted the key into the keyhole.

The moment the door was pushed open, he was distracted, thinking he had opened the wrong door. This place was too clean, so clean that it didn't look like anyone lived here.

He didn't bother to look around the first floor, and hurried to the room where they had made love countless times. When he pushed open the door, he found it was empty. Not only were there no people, but there were only a few items left. His heart suddenly became as empty as the room.

Xu Zehao looked a little lonely. He walked into the room slowly and looked at everything in the room. There used to be many things belonging to her placed here, but now they were all gone. It was cleaned up very neatly, as if she had never appeared here.

At this moment his heart suddenly ached, and he realized that the girl who had been with him for more than three years, who used to be like a koala, who liked to stick to him and act coquettishly and say that she was bored, had completely disappeared.

He casually opened the wardrobe, and found it empty except for a few hangers and a few of his own clothes. None of Zhou Yian's clothes were left. In the corner of the wardrobe, the small box was extremely conspicuous.

He leaned over and pulled out the box, opened the lid, and a box full of jewelry came into view. He flipped through it casually and found the million-dollar necklace he gave her for the first time was also inside.

The two bank cards stood out among a pile of expensive jewelry. Xu Zehao picked up the two bank cards with his fingers and threw the black card back without even looking at it. He looked thoughtfully at the new card with the password written on it, which he had never seen before.

He frowned in confusion, his eyes narrowed and gradually became deeper, and suddenly, as if he understood something, his face became gloomy and cold.

He picked up the card and put it in his pocket, then went to the nearest bank ATM and nimbly entered the password. When he saw the amount displayed, he raised his head and took a few deep breaths. His expression became sinister and he laughed a few times in self-deprecation, "An An, you really put a lot of thought into leaving me."

His chest heaved violently, and he had no place to vent his anger.

The silver-gray sports car sped through the streets like lightning, and the cool breeze in the early morning did not take away the hot anger in his body.

After a while, his car arrived at the old and dilapidated neighborhood. The expensive supercar was parked in the narrow alley in a domineering manner. He went straight to the sixth floor and knocked on Zhou Yian's door.

After knocking for a long time, no one opened the door. However, the door of the house next door opened. A sleepy uncle poked his head out and asked curiously, "Young man, what are you doing? You are banging on the door so loudly so early in the morning. Can't you let me sleep?"

"Excuse me, is the family that lived here before still living here?"

The neighbor frowned, "Ms. Huang? She hasn't come back to live here for several years. Who are you? What do you want to see her for? You..."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Zehao had already turned and left.

The uncle murmured doubtfully, "What a strange person."

Xu Zehao pursed his thin lips tightly with a serious expression. He thought of the luxury house he bought for her and fantasized that she should have moved there.
