The sudden question struck Nian Xiaomu dumb .
"I heard some rumors about you and Young Master Han and couldn't help but learn more about the gossip . . . " Nian Xiaomu was so alarmed that she bounced up from the chair before Shangxin could finish her sentence .
"That piece of iceberg? Please spare me from this! I don't want to have an early death . "
Shangxin was triggered by Nian Xiaomu's exaggerated reaction and laughed out loud . "Is he that bad? Young Master Han is the number one rich young man in City H . In addition, he's handsome and charming—the number of women who wish to marry him are lined up from the start of the street all the way to the end of the street . "
"That ranking list certainly does not include his volatile and bad temper . Apart from that face of his, he has got no other merits . Anyone who has had any encounters with him would know . . . " The amount of bitter complaints seemed to be never ending as Nian Xiaomu talked about Yu Yuehan .
Just as she was gossiping happily, she suddenly felt a wave of cold air from behind .
Right after that, she noticed that there was something wrong with Shangxin's expression .
Before Nian Xiaomu could ask her what had happened, Shangxin sent a message that said [Talk next time] and went offline at lightning speed .
Had she seen a ghost? What a hasty departure .
After she shut down the computer and turned around, she saw Yu Yuehan standing behind her with a darkened face while carrying Xiao Liuliu in his arms .
She suddenly froze in the middle of standing up from the chair .
Nian Xiaomu finally understood the meaning behind the final expression on Shangxin's face just before she disconnected from the video call .
Shangxin was obviously wishing her good luck with that look .
Nian Xiaomu had been caught red-handed at the scene of the crime by the president himself while she was talking bad about him behind his back . What should she do?
Before Nian Xiaomu could think of a way to react to this situation, Yu Yuehan had already turned and left with a dark face .

"Young Master . . . " She ran after him hurriedly when she came back to her senses and tried to explain herself to him .
She saw that he had handed Xiao Liuliu over to the butler just when she reached the living room . After that, he turned around and walked toward the car that was parked at the entrance .
It seemed like he was preparing to head out .
Nian Xiaomu ran forward . Just when she was at a loss on how she should apologize, his gaze swept past her coldly . Then, he entered his car with an expressionless look and instructed the chauffeur to drive off .
He left right in front of her . . .

Nian Xiaomu lived in a world of ice and snow for the next few days .

There were a few times when she wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Yu Yuehan, but eventually, she was left frozen .
The collaboration project with Sheng Da Science and Technology was officially launched right after they signed the endorsement contract with Shangxin .
Nian Xiaomu was kept busy by the projects on hand and did not have time to care about anything else .
"Confirm the guest list again and check if all of them are here already . "
"Someone check if the seats for the press have already been arranged—the exposure to the media representatives for the product launch must not be low . . . "
"Remember to have someone overlook the site . Inform me if there are any issues . . . "
Nian Xiaomu was busily running around in circles first thing in the morning on the day of Sheng Da Science and Technology's product launch .
As she looked at the guests who arrived one after another, she couldn't help but to search for signs of Yu Yuehan in the crowd .

However, she did not spot him after a round of searching .
He might not be here yet .
Nian Xiaomu curled her lip . She returned backstage to the break room for the staff and poured herself a cup of water .
Just when she was about to drink the water, a colleague who was in charge of the guests rushed in and said, "Supervisor Nian, Shangxin has not arrived yet . I have tried to contact her manager, but my call couldn't get through . "
"Perhaps she was delayed by traffic . Don't worry, I have her number . I'll inquire on your behalf . "
Nian Xiaomu placed the cup down hurriedly and brought up her phone .
The phone call went through immediately, but no one answered the call .
Before she could make a second call, she received a call from Shangxin's manager .
"Supervisor Nian, bad news . Shangxin has gone missing!"
