Urban Most Awesome Dad

Chapter 528: Chapter 528: People Lost Contact_1 Chapter 528: Chapter 528: People Lost Contact_1 Xu Fan drastically shortened his travel time by nearly half and finally made it to Yifan Media within twenty minutes.

Then, like a whirlwind, he swept into the building, directly darted up the stairs, and soon reached the top floor.

However, not one of the three women was there; they must have still been on their way back.

Xu Fan immediately made a phone call.

But as soon as the ring sounded, the other party hung up directly.

He made seven or eight calls, even attempting Ye Xiaoning and Chen Shiyu’s numbers, but all were disconnected as soon as they rang.

It was then that Xu Fan realized the gravity of the situation, which had far exceeded his expectations.

With no other choice, he sent a voice message, “Xue’er, I really didn’t do those things, please let me explain to you, okay?”
After waiting for several minutes, he still received no reply.

Xu Fan considered that Xu Yixue might no longer be in the mood for negotiation or had already finished negotiating; she could either go home, seek out Tongtong, or possibly remain at the Junlin Grand Hotel.

After some thought, he decided to check the hotel first; if she wasn’t there, he would ask around.

So, he took the elevator to the first floor, left the company, got back into his car, and drove straight to the Junlin Grand Hotel.

Meanwhile, inside Xu Yixue’s Ferrari, Ye Xiaoning was driving, while Xu Yixue, with tears still un-dried, sat in the backseat looking out the window at the rapidly receding nightscape, comforted by Chen Shiyu sitting closely and whispering words of solace.

Ben Ben stayed in the trunk, exceptionally perceptive, clearly aware of its mistress’s somber mood and thus became subdued.

The phone vibrated with a message from Xu Fan, but Xu Yixue acted as if she heard nothing, disregarding it completely.

Chen Shiyu sighed and said, “Yixue, why don’t you give him another chance to explain it to you in person?”
“No need.”
Xu Yixue’s voice grew very cold, her throat hoarse from crying, “Xiao Ning, are we going to the Lu family estate?

Pick up Tongtong first.”
Xu Yixue felt as if her heart were bleeding, overwhelmed with grief.

If it weren’t for Tongtong, she probably would have sunk into utter despair.

She had never been in a relationship in her entire life.

Aside from a night of passion with Xu Fan years ago and accepting Xu Fan’s recent confession, her record of intimate contacts with men was blank.

Who would have imagined that her first love, having barely started for a few days, could end so abruptly?

Because she liked him, she cared.

The more she liked him, the more she cared.

The more she cared, the greater the pain she suffered.

All she hoped for now was to quickly leave this place of heartache.

“Oh!”
Ye Xiaoning couldn’t help but sigh deeply, uncertain of what to say next.

This was the couple’s own issue.

They could only offer advice, unable to make decisions on their behalf, leaving them anxious as mere bystanders.

When the Ferrari stopped outside the Lu family estate, Xu Yixue tidied up her appearance, wiped away the tear stains with a tissue, and put on sunglasses to cover her swollen eyes before entering the estate.

Tongtong was unaware of the significant misunderstanding that had occurred between her parents.

She was having a great time here, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, munching on sweet potato chips, and watching cartoons on the large wall-mounted TV with Zhang Lijuan.

Seeing her mother suddenly enter the living room, Tongtong waved her little hands and called out loudly, “Mommy, Tongtong is here!

Oh, why didn’t Daddy come to pick up Tongtong?”
“It’s the same if I pick you up.

Come on, let’s go home now.”
Xu Yixue felt a twinge in her nose and was on the verge of tears again, but she held them back, walked up to Tongtong, and gently lifted her.

“Okay, okay, Tongtong is going home now!”
Tongtong cheered happily, then saw Zhang Lijuan smile at him, and hurriedly said his polite farewells, “Auntie, Tongtong is going back now, goodbye!”
Tongtong thought they were returning to the newly moved-into home.

However, the home Xu Yixue spoke of was not this one.

“Sister-in-law, thank you for taking care of Tongtong for me,” Xu Yixue squeezed out a smile, her voice a bit hoarse as she expressed her gratitude.

“Why being so formal, I really like Tongtong too.

I even wished he could stay here for the night, haha…” Zhang Lijuan got up, smiling as she walked them to the estate’s entrance.

“Something happened today, I’m sorry to bother you again, sister-in-law.

We’ll definitely visit next time,” Xu Yixue nodded politely.

Zhang Lijuan watched as Xu Yixue and her daughter got into the car.

Once inside the car, Tongtong noticed his father wasn’t there and couldn’t help feeling disappointed, asking unhappily, “Mom, why didn’t Dad come to pick up Tongtong?

He promised he would.”
Tears that Xu Yixue had been holding back in her eyes started falling down her cheeks with a sob.

She quickly turned her face toward the car window, so that Tongtong wouldn’t see and start worrying about her.

Xu Yixue quietly took a tissue from her bag to wipe away her tears, forced a small smile on her face, and comforted in a soft voice, “Tongtong, be good, he’s busy right now.

You go home with mom first.

Xiao Ning, let’s go.”
After speaking, she rolled down the window and waved goodbye to Zhang Lijuan, who was still standing by the estate entrance.

“Rumble rumble…”
With the deep rumble of the engine, the Ferrari started moving, leaving the place behind.

Zhang Lijuan frowned, pondering…

As a woman, she naturally sensed something was off with Xu Yixue’s emotions, and considering Xu Fan hadn’t come to pick up his child, she suspected the couple might have had a quarrel.

She wanted to ask, but the other party might not tell.

After all, in such situations, it is usually the woman who gets hurt, but she tries to appear strong outwardly, while feeling utterly vulnerable and miserable inside.

Thinking it over, she felt it best to mention it to Xu Fan; perhaps she could be of some help.

After all, while the couple was a perfect match made in heaven,
they were still young and sometimes acted imprudently without considering everything.

Seeing the call was from Zhang Lijuan, Xu Fan thought it was Tongtong urging him to pick her up, so he answered, “Hello, sister-in-law, is Tongtong rushing me?”
“No, it’s not that,” said Zhang Lijuan, “Xu Fan, Tongtong has been picked up by Yixue, just now.

However, she looked a bit off, didn’t you two have a fight?”
“…” Xu Fan was momentarily stunned, then replied, “Sister-in-law, you’re right, something did happen.

But it’s complicated to explain over the phone, so let’s leave it unsaid.

Thanks for your concern, haha.”
“It’s nothing,” Zhang Lijuan was still worried, urging him, “Xu Fan, I want to say a few more words to you.

You’re a man, you should be more gentle and respectful toward women, take better care of them.

I don’t want to see you ruin a good situation.

Love isn’t about fighting; to be happy, you have to be willing to compromise and give more, and there’s no shame in that.”
“I got it, I’ll remember that.”
“Good, as long as you’re aware of it.

Well then, that’s all for now.

Hurry up and bring her back home.”
Xu Fan felt a bitter taste in his heart; indeed, he wanted to bring Xu Yixue back home, but he simply could not find her.

He wanted to ask Zhang Lijuan if she knew where Xu Yixue went, but Zhang Lijuan had already hung up the phone.

Extremely anxious, he thought that if Tongtong had been taken away by Xu Yixue, it meant she likely didn’t want to return to Oriental Famous City’s villa.

But where would she go then?

Xu Fan just felt a mixture of emotions: frustrated, downhearted, anxious, angry.

He wanted to shout out loud, to release all the pent-up feelings inside him.

In the end, he could only drive away from Junlin Grand Hotel.
