Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 117

Shu Tian didn't sleep for almost a night with tears running down. Ultimately, her eyes hurt from crying but still couldn't stop weeping. She was immersed in sadness and couldn't get rid of it.

When she got up the next day, her pillow was still wet. She walked into the bathroom, looked at her ghostly pale face in the mirror, and weakly tugged at the corner of her lips.

After waiting all night, there was still no news of him.

Disappointment turned to despair, no hope finally.

That would be all.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Shu Tian's rims of eyes turned red again. She turned on the tap, the sound of running water ringing in her ears, and put a handful of water on her face, unable to tell tears from water.

She didn't and had no mood to go to work. She didn't want to face anything related to Li Han, afraid that she would cry out for an emotional breakdown.

She didn't want anyone to see her coward, nor could she face the sweet places she spent with him.

"Ding!"

Suddenly, the phone rang. She deliberately turned up her phone ring to the maximum volume in case of missed any call. Shu Tian quickly picked up the phone but saw the caller ID on the screen was not the person she expected the most.

After a second, she answered the phone, hearing Fu Qingtong's crisp and impatient voice. "I can't stand it anymore. I really can't stand it anymore. My father keeps bothering me again!"

Shu Tian was restless and replied indifferently. "What's wrong?"

"It's still about work. He is always wanting to control me. I'm a fucking person, not a tool. I have been twenty-four! Can't I decide what I want to do?" Fu Qingtong was so annoyed that she almost screamed out loud, "I'm too irritated. I'll go on vacation. No one would find me! Just leave them anxious!"

Shu Tian's eyelashes trembled slightly. "Where do you want to go?"

"I still haven't made a decision yet, H City? That's an island. I've always wanted to go there but have no chance."

"Let's go together."

"Well, mainly... Hey, wait, what did you say? Together? You're going there too?" Only then did Fu Qingtong realize that something was wrong with Shu Tian's mood. "Did something happen to you?"

The corner of Shu Tian's mouth shook slightly, but she held back. "It's nothing. I simply want to take a rest recently."

"Will your Mr. Li allows you to run out by yourself?" Fu Qingtong said quick, but then she regretted it immediately. It was obvious that there was something wrong between the two of them. So she immediately changed the topic. "Why don't you come to me and we can talk to each other face to face?"

"Okay, I'll pack up now."

Hearing that she was about to pack up, Fu Qingtong opened and shut his mouth, finally only saying, "Be careful on the way."

"Okay."

At nine in the morning, Shu Tian had packed her suitcase. She went back to the living room and took a look at the phone on the table. There was still no text message or call.

She put down her phone numbly, dragged her luggage, and turned to walk towards the door, step by step. The door closed, the room turned to be quiet.

[...]

Forty minutes later, a taxi stopped in front of the Fu family's villa. Although it was not as grand as Imperial Villa, it was still very luxurious.

Shu Tian rang the doorbell and soon the door opened.

As soon as she entered the living room, Fu Qingtong bumped into her, hugging her and said, "Nice of you to turn up. I'm so depressed at home!"

Li Han, who was in the Q City, had no idea about Shu Tian's situation. At ten o'clock in the morning, he was woken up by a loud knock on the door. He stood up from the bed with a splitting headache, still wearing his formal dress from last night's party.

Recalling what happened yesterday, he frowned slightly. Did he drink so much that he was drunk like this?

He walked to open the door with slightly unsteady steps. Zhang Bikun stood outside the door, looking anxious. "Mr. Li, are you okay? I had knocked on the door for a long time, but you hadn't responded before. We have a meeting at noon."

Li Han pressed his temple, which hurt a lot. "Was I drunk last night?"

Zhang Bikun recalled that Li Han was unsteady last night and nodded. "It seemed to be."

Li Han felt something was wrong. "Did anything happen last night?"

"What happened..." Zhang Bikun said truthfully. "After I helped you back to your room last night, you asked me to leave."

Li Han thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, I see."

After returning to his room, Li Han picked up his phone, glanced at the call log, then found Shu Tian's number and dialled it. No one answered the call. Then he called again but still didn't get the answer.

He looked at the time. It was 10: 30 in the morning. Maybe she was probably busy now?

Li Han hung up the phone. Thinking of the meeting later, he quickly washed up and dressed, deciding to call her after the meeting.

But he did not expect that she had disappeared.

At 12: 30 noon, the meeting ended, and a group of executives in suits filed out, surrounding Li Han.

Several of them were whispering when Zhang Bikun suddenly came over with the phone. "Mr Li, Miss Shu is out of touch..."
