Searching for information about Li Yan took Wen Qianyi a considerable amount of time, especially because her concern and anxiety distracted her. These past two weekends, she couldn't relax like usual. Apart from keeping up with the news, she had to keep busy working. It's been so many days that she wasn't paying as much attention to her phone.

Once she received a text response today, Wen Qianyi was very excited to find out Li Yan's phone was on. She immediately dialed his number, but what greeted her was a splash of cold water — the phone was back to being off!

This result made her even more worried. Why was his phone turned on only to be off again? If he had seen the message, if he himself had just sent the text message, why not make a call? Could he not spare one or two minutes? It takes time to compose a message too. From her perspective, it was just a minute or two, but she overlooked that for Li Yan, things must not be so easily explained within a minute or two, and he had so many people to face.

She was worried that Li Yan might be injured or on the run. While the worry felt more real and urgent, at least there was a glimmer of hope now, it wasn't complete radio silence.

After calling for more than ten minutes to no avail, Wen Qianyi decided to follow Yu Xiaodi's method, calling once in a while. However, she wasn't as frantic as Yu Xiaodi, waiting longer between calls. So when Li Yan turned on his phone and called Zhang Yurong and Yu Xiaodi at the hospital, she missed the chance. It wasn't until he turned on his phone again to make another call that she finally got through.

Wen Qianyi didn't believe in the saying "a day apart feels like three years," but these days filled with worry certainly stretched time infinitely for her. A day seemed longer than a week.

"See, I'm back now, aren't I? Sorry for making you worry." Li Yan said softly. Even though Qianyi hadn't said anything, he could feel her concern and care.

"Tch! Who's worried about you?" Wen Qianyi scoffed deliberately to show her indifference towards him. Then she added, "Someone else is the one truly concerned about you, and that's Yu Xiaodi! You ungrateful fool, sneaking out without even telling Xiaodi, do you know how worried she was? Seriously!"

Li Yan broke into a little sweat, "Hey! Xiao Yizi, mind your image! What 'ungrateful fool'? That's the kind of playful bickering between old couples, not fitting for a sophisticated beauty like President Wen."

"Get lost!" Wen Qianyi was a bit embarrassed. She didn't know how she blurted out such a thing, utterly embarrassed to face her peers! "Have you called Xiaodi? She's really worried about you; she even asked me about your whereabouts a few days ago."

To change the topic, she shifted the focus to Yu Xiaodi, as if her concern was merely because Xiaodi asked her to keep an eye out. This tactic seemed to allow her to maintain her usual calm and composure.

"I did contact her. Just saw her off. I was just about to call you when you called me." Li Yan spoke truthfully.

"So it shows, playing favorites! You can turn off your phone to not be disturbed while seeing your girlfriend, yet you don't even have a minute to call me back!" Although she had brought up the topic herself and knew Li Yan would meet Yu Xiaodi first, hearing that he had already seen her and only then thought to call her, perhaps only because she called him first, left Wen Qianyi feeling a bit sour.

"Alright, stop being jealous. Actually, I just first sent a message to Xiaodi. She guessed I might be back and drove over to find me."

"Hehe, you're imagining things, who's jealous of you!" Wen Qianyi laughed. Whatever the case, she felt better that he was willing to explain. However, from what he said, it seemed Yu Xiaodi was indeed familiar with his place. "So Xiaodi knows your home well, huh? Someone stayed at my little nest for two nights and never invited me over, huh, seems like you're playing favorites still!"

"..."

Li Yan was helpless. The first time he had Xiaodi over, it was already quite something, so how could he invite you over too? If you came, wouldn't you also find out about my relationship with Yurong? Then wouldn't you and Yurong be awkward with each other? How would everyone still calmly handle work afterward?

"Hehe, just now, Xiaodi was here, completely naked, you sure you want to come, Qianyi MM? I'd be more than happy to welcome you!" Li Yan laughed deliberately with a sly grin.

Wen Qianyi was defeated by him. Going to his place means getting naked, is it visiting or what? "Who wants to go to your den of dogs? No, it's a den of perverts!"

"Alright, seriously, don't be jealous. I was originally planning to contact you in the evening. Because I only have one mouth, and explanations take time. Besides, with you or Xiaodi, I can't possibly explain everything in a minute, right? That'd be premature, wouldn't it? So, I need enough time to explain slowly. I sent a text first because I was afraid you'd worry."

From a mere minute-long call, he managed to convey so much meaning… Seeing him still in the mood to jest, taking liberties with his words, Wen Qianyi felt a bit more reassured, as it indicated that the guy was physically okay without too much stress. Of course, it didn't rule out the possibility of him joking to relieve stress, as she couldn't see his face anyway.
