Chapter 42 -42: Missed Appointment
“Bang! Bang! Crack!”
The waiter was startled and quickly knocked on the door, “Mr. Cheng, are you okay? Do you need any help?”
No one answered, and the waiter knocked again twice, but there were only the sounds of shattering inside.
The waiter frowned, concerned about the situation inside but dared not act rashly, especially since today’s guest was of a very special status.
Shortly after, the door opened again, and Cheng Yi slowly walked out, his face as pale as paper, his eyes instilling fear in those who looked at him.
“All of today’s expenses, charge them to my account.”
After Cheng Yi had left, the waiter turned and looked inside the restaurant: chairs and tables overturned on the floor, napkins scattered everywhere, debris all over the floor.
In her many years working here, she’d never seen anything like this.
The waiter went inside to start cleaning, and upon seeing the food scattered all over the floor, she couldn’t help but gasp.
This meal must have cost at least tens of thousands, and he hadn’t eaten a bite…
With a sigh, the waiter began picking up the broken plates and then noticed the bloodstains on them.
His hand was injured…
—
At the entrance to the emergency room of the hospital, the doctor and nurses pushed Han Jibai into the operating room while Xinan waited outside.
Today, she had specifically worn a white dress, but now, it was stained with blood.
Just as Xinan was about to go wash her hands, Ran Shasha arrived, accompanied by Uncle Han and Aunt Han.
Seeing Xinan, Ran Shasha quickly grabbed her hand and asked, “Nannan, how is Ji Bai?”
Xinan’s voice was very hoarse, “I don’t know, but it might not be good.”
He had lost so much blood.
Hearing this, Mrs. Han collapsed, crying out, “My poor son! Why is your life so hard?”
Ran Shasha also looked very upset, trying to stay calm as she thanked Xinan.
With Ran Shasha and Mr. and Mrs. Han standing by the door of the operating room, Xinan stepped aside, glanced at her phone, and realized she had forgotten to charge it; it was now turned off.
Xinan looked up at the clock above the door of the operating room. It was past the time Cheng Yi and she had arranged to meet.
She hadn’t gone to their meeting, and Cheng Yi must be very angry now.
For some reason, Xinan felt extremely uneasy at this moment.

Xinan went to the service desk and borrowed a charging cable from the nurse.
As soon as her phone turned on, a call came in. It was Jiang Yurou.
“Nannan, how was your day with Brother Yi? Did you have a lot of fun?” Jiang Yurou sounded very excited on the phone.
Xinan was startled and confused, “Fun?”
Jiang Yurou was puzzled, “Today is Brother Yi’s birthday. Tan Bo and I wanted to come and celebrate with him, but he said he had plans. Wasn’t he with you?”
Hearing this, Xinan felt like she’d been struck by lightning, and her mind buzzed.
She quickly checked the calendar, and since it was past midnight, it showed November 17; Cheng Yi’s birthday was on the 16th.
Indeed, it was Cheng Yi’s birthday, and she had forgotten it.
She had actually forgotten it…
Xinan finally understood why Cheng Yi had said he wanted to take her somewhere; he had wanted her to spend his birthday with him.
And she had missed the appointment.
Jiang Yurou, thinking Cheng Yi was really celebrating his birthday elsewhere, quickly console her, “Nannan, don’t be sad, men are all pigs…”
“Rourou, I forgot today was Cheng Yi’s birthday,” Xinan choked up a bit and spoke in a low voice, “And I missed the appointment.”
“What?” Jiang Yurou was shocked. Xinan had actually forgotten Brother Yi’s birthday.
In the past, Xinan would start preparing a birthday gift for Cheng Yi a month before his birthday.
Xinan took a deep breath and changed the subject, “Rourou, Brother Ji Bai had a car accident, I’m at the hospital now.”
“What?” Jiang Yurou was shocked again and quickly asked, “Which hospital? I’ll come now.”
“Beicheng Hospital.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Xinan found Cheng Yi’s phone number, looked at it for a while, and finally made the call.
She expected to be hung up on, but unexpectedly, the call was quickly answered, though no one spoke on the other end.
It was quiet, no sound at all, and Xinan’s heart became even more anxious.
After hesitating for a moment, Xinan softly called out, “Cheng Yi?”
After a long silence, a hoarse voice finally responded with a “Hmm.”
“I’m sorry, Cheng Yi, I didn’t mean to stand you up today. I was already on my way, but Brother Ji Bai had a car accident, and I couldn’t just ignore him.”
“Hmm.”
“Your birthday gift, I’ll make it up to you later.” Although it was past midnight, Xinan still said, “Happy birthday, Brother Yi.”
About a minute later, Xinan heard Cheng Yi’s faint voice, still just a “Hmm.”
Xinan’s heart ached, yet she didn’t know how to express it. She had never seen Cheng Yi this cold, not even when their relationship was at its worst.
“Well then, get some rest early, I’ll hang up now.”
This time, Cheng Yi didn’t say anything else.
Returning to the door of the operating room, Xinan felt extremely restless.
Ran Shasha saw Xinan’s state and realized something was wrong, asking, “Nannan, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?”
Xinan shook her head and said, “Sister Shasha, do you know any way to cheer someone up?”
“Did you upset Cheng Yi?” Ran Shasha saw through it in a glance, the only one capable of making Xinan so absent-minded was Cheng Yi.
“Hmm.”
Ran Shasha thought for a moment; if it were just any ordinary man, it would be easy, but Cheng Yi was indeed a bit more difficult.
“Can I ask what made him unhappy?”
That way, she could provide a specific remedy.
Xinan slowly began, “Today is his birthday, but I missed our appointment.”
“Because of Ji Bai’s incident?”
“Hmm, I already explained to him, and although he didn’t get angry, he was terrifyingly cold.” This version of Cheng Yi was something Xinan genuinely didn’t know how to handle.
Ran Shasha frowned; this was indeed tricky, “Well, when you get back, try talking to him again properly. If that doesn’t work, I’ll talk to him.”
“Thank you, Sister Shasha.”
“Don’t mention it, it’s the least I can do, after all, it’s because of Ji Bai’s incident that you missed your appointment. I should be thanking you,” Ran Shasha smiled.
