After I kicked out my boss, I became a landlady

Chapter 120 Something is wrong

Wen Nuan had just come out of the shower, her wet hair was still dripping with water. She gently stroked her hair with her hand, while slightly tilting her head and chatting leisurely with Yang Chi.

At this time, the room was filled with the light scent of shower gel after a warm bath.

But in this quiet moment, Yang Chi suddenly broke this beauty.

He first frowned slightly, then said anxiously, "Wen Nuan, I have to go back to finish my manuscript. They are rushing me to finish it. I have to leave now. I can't stay overnight. After all, I have to get up early tomorrow morning."

When Wen Nuan heard this, her heart felt like it was hit by a stone, and a sense of loss spread instantly.

Her face, which had just come out of the bath, was originally full of anticipation of getting along well with Yang Chi tonight, but now it was shrouded in disappointment.

She slowly put down her hand that was stroking her hair, her eyes revealing deep reluctance.

But she quickly adjusted her mood, because she knew the importance of Yang Chi's work, so she nodded slightly and said softly: "Then you should go back quickly and don't delay your work."

Yang Chi looked at Wen Nuan and felt an indescribable guilt in his heart.

He slowly stretched out his hands and hugged Wen Nuan gently. His hands patted Wen Nuan's back gently, as if to comfort her.

Then he turned around and left reluctantly.

Yang Chi had something on his mind and he really couldn't stay here any longer. He was afraid that if he stayed here for too long, he would not be able to help but ask Wen Nuan about the doubts in his heart.

When he left, his steps were heavy and every step seemed to be hesitant.

As for Wen Nuan, she didn't even notice the change in Yang Chi's expression after he left the house.

In her opinion, Yang Chi was just more eager to go back than usual. She thought that it was probably because they were pushing him too hard for the manuscript.

So, she didn't take it too seriously.

After all, Yang Chi rushed back overnight and sat on the plane for a whole night, and he was already exhausted.

Wen Nuan herself was also very sleepy, and the strong sleepiness kept coming over her.

So she simply went to bed early, hoping to forget this little loss in her dreams.

In the next few days, Yang Chi seemed to have disappeared from the warm world and never showed up.

Even though they only lived in the building next to each other, the chances of meeting each other were rare.

However, from time to time, there are fragments of messages from him in the online world.

For several days in a row, Wen Nuan invited Yang Chi with great anticipation, eager to meet him and have a good chat, but each time, Yang Chi refused without hesitation on the grounds that he was in a hurry to finish his manuscripts.

This made Wen Nuan feel an indescribable strange feeling, as if there was a fog shrouding her heart.

Before this, Yang Chi would go for a morning run every morning without fail.

Even if Wen Nuan took the initiative to ask him to go jogging together in the morning, he never refused and always agreed happily.

But now, he claims to be too busy and doesn't even go for a morning run.

The huge contrast between before and after made Wen Nuan feel that Yang Chi was more suspicious.

Wen Nuan couldn't help but start to wonder what Yang Chi was busy with that made him so obsessed with sleep and forget about food?

Or is there some other reason why he is deliberately avoiding me?

Yang Chi said to Wen Nuan in a hurried tone on the other end of the phone: "Wen Nuan, I'm really sorry. I have so much work to do on my publishing job. I have to go all out and I really can't spare the time to go out."

Wen Nuan listened to Yang Chi's explanation, but the doubts in her heart did not diminish.

She always felt that there seemed to be something hidden in Yang Chi's words. The hurried tone was very different from his usual calmness.

After saying these words, Yang Chi felt a little uneasy. He knew that he was lying to Wen Nuan, but he didn't know how to confess his doubts and anxieties to her.

He was afraid that once he told the truth, it would destroy their relationship, so he could only choose to use this excuse to escape temporarily.

Wen Nuan's heart was filled with doubts and anxieties, and she desperately wanted to know what had happened to Yang Chi.

Wen Nuan has been disturbed by Yang Chi's abnormal behavior in the past few days.

She stayed at home all day, her thoughts like a tangled mess, thinking about this and that but still could not figure it out.

The invitations that he had once looked forward to were rejected time and time again by Yang Chi on the grounds that he was in a hurry to finish his manuscripts, and his morning run, which he had once done without fail, was now also shirked by Yang Chi using the excuse of being busy.

In the warm heart, doubts are like an ever-expanding balloon that may burst at any time.

The more Wen Nuan thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She couldn't just wait and guess passively like this any longer.

Finally, Wen Nuan gritted her teeth and made a decision - she would go to Yang Chi's house in person and ask him in person what he was doing.

She quickly gathered herself together and began packing.

While Wen Nuan was choosing clothes to wear when going out, she was thinking about what to say when she saw Yang Chi.

She wanted to let Yang Chi know how confused and uneasy his behavior made her.

She couldn't allow this unclear situation to continue any longer, she had to find an answer to her feelings.

Wen Nuan picked up her bag, took a deep breath, and walked out of the house resolutely.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, which was to find Yang Chi and solve the mystery in her heart.

Wen Nuan came to the downstairs of Yang Chi's house with a nervous but determined mood.

She looked up at the familiar window, her mind filled with thoughts.

She didn't know what answer would be waiting for her, but she knew she had to face it bravely.

She walked into the corridor with heavy steps, and her footsteps echoed in the silent space.

Finally arriving at Yang Chi's door, she took a deep breath, raised her hand and knocked on the door gently.

After a moment, the door slowly opened and Yang Chi appeared at the door with a look of surprise on his face.

Wen Nuan looked at Yang Chi, her eyes filled with both questioning and expectation.

"Wu Nuan, why are you here?" Yang Chi's voice was a little hoarse.

Wen Nuan didn't answer immediately, but walked straight into the room.

The room was a bit messy, and the desk was piled with papers and documents.

Wen Nuan turned around, looked at Yang Chi, and slowly said, "Yang Chi, what happened to you these days? Why do you always reject me? Why don't you even participate in the morning run? Do you know how worried and confused I am?"

Yang Chi lowered his head, his heart in chaos.

The strange phone call was like a thorn in his heart, making him restless.

He kept wondering, who was that man?

What does it have to do with warmth?

He was afraid of losing warmth and that their relationship would be affected by this accident.

He wanted to believe in warmth, but the uneasiness in his heart would never go away.

He knew that his behavior might make Wen Nuan sad, but he couldn't control his own wild thoughts.

He felt very conflicted. He wanted to know the truth, but was afraid that the truth would be hard for him to accept.

Yang Chi raised his head, his eyes full of mixed emotions. "Wen Nuan, I...I didn't mean to lie to you. It's just that there are some things I don't know how to tell you."

Wen Nuan frowned, "Is there anything you can't tell me? Shouldn't we be honest with each other?"

Yang Chi sighed, walked to Wen Nuan and gently held her hand.

"Wen Nuan, the strange phone call when you were taking a shower that day has always made me feel uneasy. I want to find out who that person is and what his relationship with you is. I'm afraid... I'm afraid of losing you."

Wen Nuan felt soft in her heart after hearing what Yang Chi said.

She didn't expect that Yang Chi's strange behavior these days was because of this.

"Yang Chi, didn't you say that the number was a wrong one? Why didn't you tell me what happened? You could have asked me! Why don't you believe me?"

Yang Chi held Wen Nuan's hand tightly. "I know I should believe you, but I just can't control my wild thoughts. Wen Nuan, I'm sorry."
