President Daddy, let go of my mommy

Chapter 729 Consolation
It was now [-]:[-], an hour past the gallery's normal closing time.

The driver looked at his watch from time to time, and watched the people coming out of the door through the window.After waiting for a long time, he took a cigarette from his jacket pocket, was about to hand it to his mouth, and then slowly put it down.

"I don't know when Ms. Gu will come down. If she is found smoking in the car, she will definitely die a miserable death." Thinking so, he opened the car door to breathe.

In fact, he was a little embarrassed. People who came and went would always look at the cars around him for a few seconds, and then stare with envy and doubts.

Trying to ignore his surroundings, his eyes were fixed on the gallery door, for fear of missing it.

One by one, the lights in the gallery were all turned off at some point!When the last light went out and the driver still didn't see Gu Qiqi's figure, he panicked.

He threw away the unburned cigarette and quickly called Zhan Mingxi.

"Beep...beep..."

The driver was very worried. Ms. Gu hasn't come out so late?Or did he not see it?
"Hello? What's the matter?" Zhan Mingxi's voice made the driver tremble in fright, and the phone almost slipped off. He collected himself and said, "Mr. Zhan, I have been waiting in Ms. Gu's gallery for a long time, and now the lights in the gallery are all off. I haven't seen her yet."

"What! What's going on, are you sure everyone is gone?"

Zhan Mingxi had a strange feeling, he had already told Gu Qiqi that someone would pick her up tonight, she would definitely not come back alone, it was so late, nothing would happen, right?

He hastily dialed Gu Qiqi's cell phone number.

"Hi, the number you dialed is temporarily unanswered, please try again later..."

Hang up, call again, hang up, call again.Zhan Mingxi called three times in a row, but still no one answered.

It wasn't that the phone was turned off but that no one answered it. He was completely panicked. Gu Qiqi would never not answer his call. Something must have happened.

The strong uneasiness made him a little anxious, "Keep staring there, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Mingxi took a coat and went out, driving very fast along the way.There was already some confusion in my mind, "Qiqi, don't worry, I'm here."

Chi-

The piercing sound of brakes awakened Zhan Mingxi from his blankness, and the vulgar scolding in his ears gradually became clear.

"How did you drive! Didn't see the red light! What bad luck."

Slowly regaining his senses, he realized that he had lost consciousness just now, not to mention running a red light and almost hitting someone.But time was running out, and he didn't have time to entangle with that person. Seeing that the person was fine, he stepped on the accelerator and left.

For him now, nothing is more important than Gu Qiqi's safety.

Soon, Zhan Mingxi came to the gallery.

When the driver saw him coming, he hurried forward. "Mr. Zhan, I've been watching here. It's been over an hour, and Miss Gu still hasn't come out."

He was afraid of being blamed, but more worried.After finishing speaking, the driver quietly raised his head and glanced at Zhan Mingxi. Now Zhan Mingxi looked indifferent, but the beads of sweat on his forehead and furrowed brows showed that he was not calm.

Zhan Mingxi didn't say anything, just nodded to signal the driver to stay where he was, and then rushed into the gallery.

It was getting darker and darker, Gu Qiqi hugged her shoulders and crouched on the ground.She didn't know how long it had been, but no human voice could be heard from the toilet.

The quieter she is, the deeper the fear in her heart. I don't know if it is because of the environment in which she grew up, she is an extremely insecure person.

Opening her eyes wide, Gu Qiqi carefully looked up, down, left, and right. She didn't dare to go to the side with the mirror, and she didn't dare to squat in the corner. She could only stick to the door of the toilet, looking for an opportunity to call for help.

At first she yelled loudly, hoping to attract the attention of colleagues who hadn’t returned home, but soon she realized that doing so was futile. On the one hand, the toilets in the gallery are very airtight, not to mention the sound insulation effect. At the time of the original design, it was deliberately designed in consideration of the need to ensure the absolute quietness of the environment.On the other hand, she was deliberately the last one to go, and she was alone in the entire gallery at this time.

Gu Qiqi was wrapped in fear, she stared closely at the front, the darkness is always frightening.

Tears flowed out unconsciously.She cried, but she didn't dare to cry loudly, the fear almost made her suffocate.

"Mingxi... come and save me."

She murmured softly, buried her head in her knees, and curled up into a ball.

Zhan Mingxi was still searching anxiously, he searched from room to room, but there was no Gu Qiqi in any room.

He searched the entire gallery, nothing, nothing.

Zhan Mingxi had a dull pain in his chest, his hands were shaking, he was afraid, afraid that something might happen.

"No, Qiqi will be fine, she must still be here."

Zhan Mingxi didn't want to leave just like that, he ran frantically in the corridor, turning on the lights in every room.

"Woooo..."

His footsteps stopped suddenly, as if he heard someone crying.He was a little excited, "It's Qiqi!"

Following the weak, intermittent voice, he came to the toilet door.

bathroom?Zhan Mingxi was startled suddenly, why didn't he look for this place, he has already searched all other places, but this is the only place.

"Qiqi—" He tried to shout, then knocked on the door again, nervous.This is the last place, what if Qiqi is not here?He dare not think.

When she was so frightened that she was about to faint, Gu Qiqi suddenly heard someone call her name, it seemed to be Zhan Mingxi.She couldn't help smiling wryly, it's this time, how could Zhan Mingxi come.

However, the rapid knock on the door immediately woke her up, "It's really Mingxi!"

She struggled to stand up, squatting for a long time made her a little dizzy, holding on to the door frame she shouted: "Mingxi, Mingxi, is that you? I'm inside, I can't get out..."

is her!Hearing the response inside, Zhan Mingxi finally let go of his hanging heart. Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, he didn't leave.

"Qiqi, get out of the way, this lock is broken, I can only break it open, so as not to hurt you."

Zhan Mingxi's voice seemed to turn into a light shining around Qiqi, she was no longer afraid for a moment, and obediently stood a little further away.

Just hearing a "bang", the door of the toilet was opened. The moment the door opened, Gu Qiqi felt that she fell into a warm embrace.

Zhan Mingxi hugged Qiqi tightly, feeling her temperature, his usually expressionless face was full of joy of regaining what was lost, but now the surroundings are pitch black, Gu Qiqi can't see it.

Perhaps because of the sudden relaxation, Gu Qiqi couldn't help crying, and Zhan Mingxi gently stroked her hair, repeating "It's okay, it's okay" over and over again.

Holding the frightened Gu Qiqi in his arms, Zhan Mingxi came out of the gallery.The driver opened the door quickly when he saw it.Zhan Mingxi carefully put Gu Qiqi in the back seat, and sat beside her with her himself, and ordered the driver to take them home.

Along the way, Zhan Mingxi didn't let go of Gu Qiqi's hands, and became angry after being nervous, who must have done what happened today on purpose, he must thoroughly investigate.

Patting Gu Qiqi's back lightly, he said softly: "Qiqi, it's okay, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and find the person who hurt you."

Hearing what he said, the originally quiet Gu Qiqi raised his head.

"Mingxi, I want to tell you something. Let's end today's matter. It might just be a coincidence. I don't want to make a big deal out of it." Gu Qiqi took his hand back and calmed down his emotions silently. .

"Then forget it? What about the grievance you suffered? How could it be a coincidence..." Zhan Mingxi wanted to say something else, but seeing Gu Qiqi's tired expression, he knew that she must be worried that things would get worse, right? The gallery will have an impact, so I won't talk about it anymore.

He took Gu Qiqi's shoulders with one hand, and kissed her forehead, "I'm listening to you, if you say you don't want to check it, don't check it, take a good rest."

With Zhan Mingxi's consent, Gu Qiqi felt a sudden exhaustion and fell asleep leaning on his shoulder without knowing it.

Looking at Qi Qi's trembling eyelashes in her sleep, Zhan Mingxi's eyes darkened a bit, if he wanted to know who did this kind of thing to hurt Qi Qi, he would definitely not let it go.

That night, Gu Qiqi didn't sleep well, and had some scattered dreams. In the dream, he was very scared and struggling.

The dark circles under her eyes seemed to be a little heavier, Gu Qiqi looked at herself in the mirror, and patted her cheeks with both hands to cheer herself up.

"Qiqi, I heard that you were stuck in the toilet yesterday and stayed there until very late. It's okay, it doesn't matter." As soon as she sat in her seat, Xiaomei came over. I don't know who said it. Everyone knows.

Xiaomei made her a cup of coffee, "Qiqi, you must have been very scared yesterday, if I absolutely can't stand it, I'm probably going to faint from fright, so come have a cup of coffee."

Xiaomei's concern moved her a little. After all, she had just experienced such a thing, and she was still a little scared when she thought about it now.

"I'm fine, thank you."

After receiving the coffee, Gu Qiqi took a sip, the warm feeling made her feel a little relieved.Seeing that Xiaomei cared so much about her, she felt a little guilty. She was guilty of having doubted Xiaomei before, but now that she thinks about it, she feels that Xiaomei is quite kind. She must be thinking too much.She wanted to tell Sisi later, after all, Xiaomei was the first person to comfort her.

While chatting with Xiaomei, Gu Qiqi suddenly shivered, turned his head and saw that Fu Sisi was looking at her complainingly.

Well, it seems that Fu Sisi must have known it too, and she will be lectured again.

Even though she thought so, she still smiled and told Fu Sisi what happened. Fu Sisi glanced at Xiaomei, then turned to chat with Qiqi.

"Gu Qiqi, this is just the beginning"

Where no one was looking, Xiaomei stared at Gu Qiqi's figure firmly, with a strange smile on her face.
