Chapter 123 My Sister is Missing
“Jiuge, there’s something I’ve never told you. You might think I’m being sentimental, but I just can’t help it. You know what? I used to think I was all alone, but now that I have you and this family, I don’t care about anything else.”
After saying that, he took out a ring box from his pocket, slowly opened it, and inside was an exquisite ring.
Bo Ye stood up, walked to Lin Qingran, knelt on one knee, looked at her affectionately, and said.
“Jiuge, at first, we got married just to live together, but now I know that I truly love you. Now that we're together, I want to give you a formal proposal, and I also want to have a grand wedding with you so that we can rightfully become husband and wife.”
Lin Qingran was moved to tears. She looked into Bo Ye's affectionate eyes and nodded vigorously.
Bo Ye carefully picked up the ring, put it on Lin Qingran's finger, then stood up and hugged Lin Qingran tightly.
The next day, Lin Qingran came to the office, and Xiao Zhou immediately noticed the ring on her hand and couldn't help but tease her.
"Oh, Mr. Jiang, you must be getting married soon!" Lin Qingran blushed slightly, feeling a little shy.
When the other assistants heard what Xiao Zhou said, they all gathered around and asked for wedding candy.
The office suddenly became lively, filled with laughter and cheerful chatter, as if the previous gloom had been dispelled by this joyful atmosphere.
Lin Qingran smiled and took out the prepared candies from her bag, distributing them to her assistants.
Everyone ate candy and joked around, creating a harmonious and warm atmosphere.
Just then, Su Mian rushed over in a panic, her face pale, and shouted loudly.
"Jiuge, something terrible has happened! Bo Ye has disappeared!"
Lin Qingran's heart tightened suddenly, and she almost dropped the candy in her hand.
Su Mian continued, panting heavily.
“Last night I arranged with Bo Ye to sign the contract today. This cooperation between our company and Sheng Hai Group was planned a long time ago! To increase the company’s exposure, didn’t you even find some reporters last night to put the cooperation on the news? At such an important time, Bo Ye suddenly disappeared!”
Lin Qingran's face turned deathly pale; her first thought was that the Bo family had made a move.
Qi Xinglan has already said that the Bo family's old mansion has recently added bodyguards and is still keeping an eye on Bo Ye. Could it be that they didn't see Bo Ye return today, so they became desperate and took action against him?
Her hands trembled slightly.
"Quick, go find him!"
Lin Qingran suppressed her unease and spoke to Su Mian.
Her heart was pounding, and large beads of sweat kept appearing on her forehead as she walked quickly out of the office.
Lin Qingran's hands trembled as she took out her phone to call the police, her voice tinged with panic.
"Hello, is this the police station? There's an emergency here!"
Lin Qingran briefly explained the situation to the police, and after hanging up, she immediately dialed Bo Ye's number.
Her eyes were glued to the phone screen, her lips trembling slightly, and she prayed that Bo Ye would answer the phone soon.
However, all she heard on the other end of the phone was the monotonous "no answer" message, each tone like a hammer blow to her heart.
Unwilling to give up, she quickly found Qi Xinglan's phone number and dialed it, but all she got in response was a cold message that the phone was switched off.
Lin Qingran felt a chill run down her spine, her face turned deathly pale, and her eyes were filled with terror.
"Xiao Zhou! Xiao Zhou!"
She shouted loudly, her voice becoming distorted.
"Xiao Zhou rushed over," Lin Qingran said anxiously.
"Quickly, find the Bo family's contact information, quick!"
Xiao Zhou nodded and quickly turned to check.
Not long after, Xiao Zhou ran over with the phone number he had found for Bo Shicheng.
Lin Qingran stared at the number as if it were her last lifeline. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but her trembling fingers betrayed her nervousness.
Bo Shicheng is probably the person who needs Bo Ye the most right now, so he must answer the phone!
She pressed the call button, held the phone to her ear, and her heartbeat was exceptionally clear in the silence…
At a resort on the outskirts of Yuncheng, sunlight shines on the colorful playground equipment, where kindergarten activities are taking place joyfully.
The children's laughter echoed throughout the resort; away from the hustle and bustle of the city, everything seemed so peaceful and serene.
At lunchtime, Fu Xingze, like a little adult, made a point of greeting the teacher, carefully carrying two lunches as he walked towards the toddler class.
He spotted the bell among a group of children at a glance, his eyes lit up immediately, and he shouted with a smile.
"Lingdang, your brother brought you lunch!"
When Lingdang heard Fu Xingze's voice, her eyes smiled like crescent moons, and she skipped and hopped over.
"elder brother!"
Fu Xingze smiled and pinched Lingdang's little face. "Brother brought you your favorite snacks, but you can only eat them after you finish your meal, okay?"
"Okay, thank you, brother!"
Lingdang hugged Fu Xingze and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
The other children looked on with envy at the handful of snacks in Fu Xingze's hands.
A little girl with pigtails tugged at Fu Xingze's clothes and said, "Brother Xingze, I want to eat snacks too."
The little boy next to him chimed in, "Yes, yes, Xingze, you're the best!"
Fu Xingze proudly raised his chin, gently hugged the bell, and said to the other children.
"I'm Lingdang's only older brother, and I only spoil Lingdang."
Lingdang laughed happily, hugging Fu Xingze's arm tightly, her little face beaming with joy.
"Brother, let's eat quickly!"
"Okay!"
Fu Xingze led Lingdang to a quiet corner, carefully opened the lunchbox for her, placed her favorite food in front of her, and said gently.
"Lingdang, eat more so you can grow tall."
Lingdang nodded obediently, picked up her spoon, and began to eat earnestly.
The heartwarming scene between the brother and sister was truly enviable, even the teacher couldn't help but glance at them frequently.
"Is this the child's older brother? I've never seen him before," a teacher asked.
The teacher in Lingdang's class replied in a low voice, "I heard that their parents separated. The boy was with his father in Beijing, but I don't know why he came to Yuncheng recently and is with his mother again, so we sent both children to the same kindergarten."
"I see." The teacher nodded thoughtfully.
"These two children have such a good relationship; when the younger sister goes to the toilet, the older brother has to accompany her."
"Who says otherwise? They really are blood-related siblings. They weren't together before, but their bond is still so strong."
Fu Xingze stood ramrod straight outside the restroom, patiently waiting for the bell to ring.
As time ticked by, the bell still hadn't appeared. Fu Xingze started to get anxious. He frowned and paced back and forth at the door.
"Lingdang, are you done?"
He shouted, but there was no response.
Fu Xingze's heart skipped a beat. He looked around and saw a female teacher passing by. He hurriedly ran over and said something.
"Teacher, my sister has been inside for a long time and hasn't come out. Could you please go in and check on her?"
The female teacher went into the restroom, and Fu Xingze waited anxiously at the door, his eyes fixed on the door and his hands unconsciously clenching.
A moment later, the female teacher came out, her expression somewhat grave.
"There's no one inside. Are you sure your sister is inside?"
Fu Xingze's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief: "How could this be? I've been guarding this place the whole time, there's no way the bell wouldn't be inside!"
