Yan Ruomin became frustrated at once. She had already put on her short dress in the early morning to appear before Sheng Ruming.

From a random magazine, she noticed the information that men now-a-days all liked that kind of dress.

"Why Do people have to start work so early? Can't they sleep till 8 am or so?!

"

Yan Ruomin murmured as she patted her stiff back.

"I think I will get to see him later.

" She covered the windows with the curtains and went to sleep for several hours more.

The woman didn't put her thoughts on Sheng Ruming any longer.

But eventually when dawn arrived and the night descended, she didn't see him after her sight was on the street.

Yan Ruomin even went down and walked to the parking lot.

"The car is still here. Is he at home?

" She thought as she saw the familiar number of the car.

The night had passed and a new day began. But even then she didn't see the man. Which forced her to think something was wrong.

"Is it my misconception or I am thinking too much?

" Yan Ruomin thought.

"Has he disappeared? Or he is in the hospital?

"

After another day came, she walked down the building and approached the opposite one.

As soon as Yan Ruomin entered that building, the receptionist lifted his head and greeted her which was common.

Yan Ruomin stood before the man and asked after thinking a little longer, stretching her voice a little and appearing clueless.

"Excuse me. Can you perhaps tell me if the people who live on the 20th floor are in their apartment now?

"

"Sorry, miss. I can't disclose any information to you. If you know them, maybe you should call them.

" The man told her straightforwardly.

"Or you can take the lift and go there?

"

"Oh, umm...

" Yan Ruomin rubbed the side of her head as if she was in a tight spot. Then she took out her phone and deliberately showed the receptionist the name before she called Sheng Ruming.

She called three times but the call didn't connect. Thus, after that, she dropped her hand in annoyance and spoke,

"You can see. I called him but the call didn't connect.

Sheng Ruming is my childhood friend. Usually, it is he who always meets me but today I wanted to give him something but it is office time now, so I am not sure if he's up there.

"

Nobody could say that she was lying blatantly.

"Ah, you are talking about Mr. Sheng? So, you know him.

" The receptionist's face and this time he talked in a friendly tone.

"Yes. He told me some days ago that he lives here. Today, I came to meet him but he isn't picking my call, you can see.

" She showed her phone to the man but he didn't caste it any glance.

Yan Ruomin wore a disappointed expression when she uttered those words. The receptionist asked suddenly,

"What's your name, miss?

"

Yan Ruomin saw the CCTV a long time ago. 'It's useless to lie. Moreover, I will tell this man not to tell him about me.

"

"I am Ruomin.

"

"Miss, Ruomin. Then, it may be okay to tell you this as you are his friend. Mr. Sheng has already left the country yesterday.

"

"Sheng Ruming left?! How can he not tell me before he left?!

" Yan Ruomin felt stifled when she heard. The receptionist nodded.

'I came here to make you like me. Yet you have already gone back. We didn't even hold hands together!' The lady agonised in her heart.

The receptionist felt sorry when her sad face entered his vision. He tried to comfort her,

"He must have forgotten to notify you.

"

"It can be. After all, he is busy. Also, there is no way Sheng Ruming won't tell me when he returns to the country.

" The corner of her lips twisted.

"I will call him later and notify him that I came here. No need to bother him with this matter again.

"

Without saying much, she turned around and walked away. The receptionist smiled and sent a single message to somewhere,

"Mr, Sheng's friend Ruomin came to know about his whereabouts. I told her already.

"

Ethan Han saw the message and clicked the like option. Afterwards, he went to do his work but a cunning and mischievous smile appeared on his face.

*** ***

"Aahhh! Really?! Just how many days it's been since I have come here?! You went back already…

Uh! It's making me crazy! Now, I will also have to go back.

" Yan Ruomin muttered to herself in anger and misery. At the end, her voice got louder and louder.

The people who were walking on the streets turned at her in weird ways but she didn't care about those eyes.

After she had returned to her floor and entered her room, she went to sit on the balcony and stared at the 20th floor of the opposite building.

Yan Ruomin calmed down and thought what to do next.

"Now that I am already here, why not stay some more days before I return?

" Yan Ruomin put her hand on her chin and thought deeply. Soon, an enlightened expression came in her face.

" It settled then. I am not alone here. Feng Shaoling is also in the city. Moreover, I will stay in the home after I go back. Might as well enjoy some days alone. If I immediately go back, it won't look good.

"

Her lips curled up in satisfaction. Yan Ruomin took her phone and unlocked it.

The wallpaper was of Sheng Ruming but the man looked slightly younger in the picture.

She dropped her body on the soft bed and stared at the photo.

"You should wait for me to come to you and don't get involved with those two toys of yours..

"

Yan Ruomin tapped her fingers lightly on the phone and muttered,

"I won't let you get together with none of your secretaries.

"

Yan Ruomin's eyes flashed with jealousy when she remembered that both Ji Yanli and Luo Lixi were close with Sheng Ruming.

The woman couldn't even imagine while she was thinking all this, Sheng Ruming was busy spending his time with his so called secretary.

*** ***

A knock came from the door. Sheng Ruming snapped from his thought and sat straight, thinking Luo Lixi might have come.

"Enter.

"

The man was disappointed for no reason when Xiao Huang entered. He bowed at Sheng Ruming and replied,

"Miss Luo has said her grandfather wants to meet you. You shall go to his room.

"

As soon as he heard, the tense expression of his returned. Sheng Ruming stood up and walked out silently.

In a few seconds, he reached Luo Qintian's room. The room was widely opened as if waiting for his arrival. Without any hesitation, he directly went inside.

As he glanced around, he didn't see Luo Qintian but then when he stepped to the joint room, he saw the old man. Only Luo Qintian was there.

"Elder Luo.

" Sheng Ruming spoke out softly.

"Young man, come.

" Sheng Ruming walked towards him. As he got nearer by the passing moment, he got nervous. But the old man was reading a book leisurely while leaning on his sofa.

Sheng Ruming finally reached him and decided to stand before him in silence. After thirty minutes, Luo Qintian removed his glasses from his eyes and turned his attention to him.

"Sit there.

" Luo Qintian motioned him to sit before on the opposite seat.

Sheng Ruming nodded and sat down. When he lifted his head and glanced at Luo Qintian, he immediately turned his sight on something else because Luo Qintian was glaring at him but there wasn't any bad intention behind it.

After another five minutes, Luo Qintian finally sighed and started to speak.

"Xixi has already told me everything. It's fate that the one who has saved her was you. But…

" Luo Qintian sharpened his words this time.

"It should have ended smoothly if you had brought her here before. I am still alive. I could have given her the best treatment. Also, why did you wipe the traces of hers?

" Luo Qintian spoke sharply. Nobody would say at that time that he was sick!

"I was just worried. I investigated and saw no movements from your side. So…

" Sheng Ruming lifted his head but all he saw was coldness from Luo Qintian.

"I am grateful that you have saved her when she was on the brink of death. I will compensate you with something you need or you can ask me for anything. But this ends here!

"

Sheng Ruming clenched his hands tightly as his nails digged In his flesh.

"You don't need to be concerned about her matters anymore. Return to your city tomorrow morning!

"

Luo Qintian stood up and gazed down on his head. Endless resentment flowed out of his eyes.

"... I won't.

" Sheng Ruming replied firmly after he remained silently. He stood up as well and looked at Luo Qintian's eyes directly.
