Chapter 84

  Bai Min struggled to open her eyes, forcing herself to be energetic. She lifted her head and happened to see her superior staring at her with a very unhappy expression. Sleeping during work hours, it would be strange if the superior was happy about it. She tried to make herself smile, but didn't know what to say.

  "Are you uncomfortable?" Someone behind the boss asked in a gentle voice that sounded very comfortable. "Maybe it's just a cold."

  What he saw was a man in his mid-30s, wearing a T-shirt, clean and elegant, with a warm smile, looking at Bai Min.

  Dong Weiwei's eyes widened, haha, a diamond-level figure.

  Bai Min's mind was still numb, staring at this man, unrecognizable.

  "This is our company's new general manager, Duan Zhishan." The superior introduced while glaring at Bai Min with annoyance. This girl usually doesn't cause trouble, why was she reacting like this today? It seemed as if her nerves had a slight short circuit. "These are the company employees Bai Min and Dong Weiwei. Bai Min, what's wrong with you today? If you have a cold, hurry up and go home to rest."

  Duan Zhishan looked at the woman in front of him, her gentle face, calm temperament, and faint expression made her a very comfortable person to look at. Especially her expression, looking at him with such confusion, as if she hadn't reacted yet, making him feel a sense of sympathy. He couldn't help but smile lightly at her, "Are you okay?"

  Bai Min forced a smile, and the voice in her ear was still that lingering call, seemingly near yet far, real yet fake, vague. "It's okay, maybe I just took too much cold medicine, I'll be fine after resting for a while. Sorry, I didn't mean to." She looked at her angry boss, apologetically saying, with a blush rising on her face, looking especially cute.

  Just as his superior was about to say something, Duan Zhishan smiled slightly and said calmly: "Forget it, let's look elsewhere."

  As soon as the superior and Duan Zhishan walked away, Dong Weiwei immediately leaned over and said: "Bai Min, this new leader seems to like you very much. I think his gaze at you is completely different from his gaze at me. With such good conditions, young and talented, don't let it go to waste, seize the opportunity to show your charm, pursue him! If you don't pursue him, I'll pursue him myself."

  "Whatever." Bai Min felt dizzy and didn't bother to argue with her.

  Until the end of work, Duan Zhishan didn't come out again, which made Dong Weiwei a little disappointed. She just felt that Duan Zhishan really liked Bai Min, his gaze at her was enough to explain everything, and when he looked at her, his eyes were so gentle and delicate, making people feel warm inside. But Bai Min had been drowsy all day because of the cold medicine, except for thinking about sleep, that voice didn't appear again. Nor did any hallucinations, such as unfamiliar women, appear again.

  Bai Min and Dong Weiwei broke up and went back home separately.

  Just out of the company gate less than fifty meters, there was a car slowly following behind, it was a silver-gray Passat, elegant and steady. The window rolled down, Duan Zhishan's gentle smile, calm voice: "Bai Min, you don't feel well, I'll give you a ride."

  She looked at him, feeling uncomfortable herself. It was a good thing that she could hitch a ride, or else she would have been dizzy and made a fool of herself on the road. "Thank you!" She opened the car door and got in, vaguely hearing a sigh, which startled her. She quickly turned around to look at the back seat, but there was nothing. Her expression was one of confusion.

  "What's wrong?" Duan Zhishan asked with concern, seeing Bai Min's uneasy expression.

  "It's nothing." Bai Min smiled, "Maybe it's because of the cold medicine, I'm a bit slow to react."

  The car drove quietly, and Bai Min looked out of the window, suddenly feeling a strange sadness, melancholy, and reluctance in her heart, as if there was something inside that she couldn't see clearly.

  Back home, Bai Min fell asleep as soon as she lay down, she was really too tired, so tired that she didn't even want to breathe, just wanting to sleep with her head down and never wake up again.

  In a strange environment, Bai Min found himself in an completely unfamiliar place, with carved beams and painted buildings, ancient colors and fragrances, as well as maids, eunuchs, and handsome princes and beautiful ladies just like on TV.

  No one could see her, although she was standing among them, but she was like air, existing without being noticed.

  "Is there any news?" The speaker was a young and handsome young man, dressed in plain clothes, with a sad expression, a heavy tone, and a pair of charming peach blossom eyes that were full of deep emotions, but looked like they were all sorrowful and helpless. On the surface, he still looked strong, but his eyes betrayed all the confusion in his heart. The voice sounded so familiar, it was the same as the call she heard during the day 'Feng Er', only this time with more fatigue, sadness, and helplessness.

  A sturdy man dressed as a servant stood by and said in a low voice, "After investigating all the way, the carriage disappeared at the edge of the cliff. People were sent to search for it, but except for finding the remaining fragments of the carriage, neither the princess nor the horses were seen. Because it's a river, we don't dare say whether the princess is alive or dead yet."

  The young master covered his forehead with his hand, closed his eyes, and tears gushed out, but his voice was stifled, and for a long time, there was no movement.

  "Sir, please don't worry, the Crown Princess has a good fortune and will definitely be fine. I'll go again to send someone to search carefully along the river flow direction. The Emperor has already given an order to search house by house near the river and offered a heavy reward. It won't take a few days, we will definitely find the Crown Princess." The servant, dressed in mourning attire, tried to comfort him with a soft voice, but even he himself didn't believe it. The cliff was so high, the carriage had fallen off, and below was the turbulent river. Even if she was lucky enough not to die from the fall, it's likely that she wouldn't survive.

  Bai Min thought to herself, could it be that I'm psychic? Can I see things from the past? She reached out to touch the face of the Su Yi Gongzi in front of her, but her hand passed directly through his body. Hehe, Bai Min smiled lightly, not bad, a bit like an ancient version of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

  Su Yi Gongzi suddenly raised his eyes and looked around, blurting out, "Feng'er, is that you?"

  His loud voice startled Bai Min, who subconsciously dodged backward. Suddenly, she thought to herself, "Actually, he can't see me, so who is Feng Er? Why does this person seem so reluctant to let her go?"

  The surroundings were silent, the white-clad young master was gloomy and speechless, with a helpless face.

  "Master, the Crown Prince's consort must still be alive and well. Please don't think too much about it. If she returns and sees you like this, she will surely be distressed." The servant-like person forced himself to console him.

  The young master sat expressionless, was Feng'er still alive? He didn't even believe it himself! There seemed to be a faintly familiar breath in the air, could it be that Feng'er had come to see him? "Feng'er, if you're not at peace with me, then don't leave, stay and keep me company. Being able to watch over you is also good, I'm satisfied too." He muttered, his lips curling into a bitter smile.

  Bai Min suddenly felt sad and couldn't help but shed tears. She moved her body, woke up, and found herself in a quiet autumn night, surrounded by familiar surroundings that seemed strange to her.

  Who is Miss Su? Why did she let her heart be filled with sorrow and unwillingness to part?
