Title: The Villain’s Younger Sister

Chapter 23 - She Doesn’t Want Him Anymore (3)
One season’s pay was $10,000. She’d be able to get her own place right away while she looked for a more permanent job and head toward financial independence.
Coming to that conclusion, she signed the contract. Her handwriting, much like her in person, was soft and lovable.
Director Cheng was very happy and said, “I dodn’t have my official stamp on me today. I’ll stamp this after I get back to my office and have someone send a copy over to you afterward.”

Nie AnAn nodded and said, “Thank you for the opportunity, Director Cheng. I will do my best.”
Nie AnAn was in a very good mood after she had signed the contract, so she cooked herself a fancy meal that night.
Huo YanXiao, on the other hand, never came home and she had no idea of his whereabouts.
Ever since that day when she had given up, Nie AnAn didn’t care about Huo YanXiao’s attitude anymore. She cleaned up after herself and looked for the most recent few seasons of “Gold Medal Inn” and started watching them.
Huo YanXiao’s out-of-town trip this time was to negotiate a relatively sizable investment.
The early observation was already completed, but there were still a lot of loose ends to tie up once the decision has been made for the two companies to work together.
When everything was all settled and arranged, two weeks had already passed.
Now that the joint effort has been completed, the other party, as the local host, took Huo YanXiao and his team out for local cuisines.
The crew sat where there was a great scenery of the mountains and water. All the dishes were very delicately prepared. Huo YanXiao only had one bite when he felt like he was chewing on wax.
He suddenly remembered the congee that Nie AnAn had made for him the other day. It was the simplest of all dishes, but there was an irreplaceable taste to it.
He never cared about food much, but right at this moment, he missed her cooking a lot.
Thinking of that, he turned and asked one of his executive assistants, “Have you heard anything about the Nie’s recently?”
The executive assistant was stunned a little before he shook his head and said, “Are you referring to them wanting to expand their business into City Nan, Boss Huo?”
Huo YanXiao said, “No, I meant their family matters.”
The executive assistant was even more baffled. He shook his head and said, “No, nothing that I have heard. Nie ChengFeng has yet to agree to union with Qin Ziyi.”
Huo YanXiao nodded slightly. Did that mean Nie AnAn did not take the DNA result to the Nie’s?
Did that also mean he had misunderstood her the other day?
After dinner was over, Huo YanXiao flew back to Capital City. He would need to fly overseas the very next morning.
It was already midnight when he arrived back at the mansion.
Huo YanXiao walked up the stairs slowly and paused when he was passing Nie AnAn’s room.
Her room door was ajar, and it was dark inside. It looked empty.
He walked inside and confirmed that there was, indeed, nobody inside.
The sheets on the bed were folded like bricks of tofu in the military. All the items were arranged neatly on the nightstand. Even all the daggers on the wall had been re-arranged. They were now arranged in order of size, like soldiers lining up in the military.
He took a few more looks around and looked back at the empty bed.
Where did she go and why wasn’t she home?
