Feng Jue noticed that Gu Yang hadn't replied to his message, so he stopped sending more. Instead, he decided to surprise her by visiting her office in person.
He thought that if his sister was busy, he would quietly wait outside, watching over her without disturbing her.
But when he pushed open the office door, he realized Gu Yang wasn't there.
The office was empty. Not only was Gu Yang missing, but her bag and thermos were gone as well. It didn't look like she had just stepped out briefly.
If not for the potted bamboo Gu Yang had bought from the flower shop that morning, Feng Jue would have thought he was in the wrong office.
He quickly called her, hoping to find out where she was, but the phone rang with no answer.
A WeChat message might be ignored if the phone was on silent, but how could she miss a call?
If his sister had heard his call, she would never ignore him. Even if she was busy, she would've at least sent a quick reply.
