My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 229: 229: A Car Stopped by the Roadside

“Beep”

After the phone connected, it beeped several times, but no one on the other end picked up.

“Could he not have heard it?” Rong Yan put down her phone, puzzled, staring at the screen. The name on the phone’s screen flashed a few times before it automatically went dark.

“Sorry, the user you are trying to reach is currently unavailable. Please try again later,” a sweet female voice announced from the phone.

“What, your boyfriend isn’t answering?” The convenience store owner also heard the voice on the phone.

Rong Yan, now somewhat afraid of him, hurriedly explained, “He’s busy with work, he probably didn’t take his phone with him. Let me try calling again.”

As she spoke, she dialed another number.

The beeping tone indicated the call had gone through, but, just like before, no one answered on the other end.

Rong Yan frowned, unable to make sense of the situation.

Was he too busy and hadn’t noticed the phone, or was he angry and deliberately not picking up?

If it was Li Shengxiao… she pondered in her mind which possibility was more likely.

The likelihood of him being busy was high. After all, this man controlled a staggering amount of wealth. KT Entertainment was one of the top companies in the entertainment industry, and to him, it was just one of several hundred subsidiaries. Managing such an enormous business empire alone, he couldn’t possibly not be busy.

But the possibility that he was angry is also quite high! Because Gu Ming had said that the phone number Li Shengxiao gave her was his private number! He carried this phone 24/7 and had never turned it off; the chance that he hadn’t heard it was very, very slim…

So was he just not seeing it, or was he angry?

“Sorry, the user you are trying to reach is currently unavailable. Please try again later…” Rong Yan took a deep breath and put down the phone.

Her head hurt more than anything else.

What should she do if she couldn’t get through to Li Shengxiao?

She hesitated for a moment, then opened WeChat, planning to send a message first.

Just then, a sleek black Maybach quietly pulled up beside the convenience store. Its smooth, black body drew even the store owner’s attention.

“Damn, isn’t that kind of car worth at least ten million?”

Their neighborhood was filled with ordinary residential complexes. While there were luxury cars, a top-tier one like this was just too eye-catching.

“I wonder whose car it is? Does someone living nearby own it? Why did they park here?”

As he was muttering to himself, the car door opened. A person resembling a secretary got out quickly and went around to the back to open another door.

Following that, the convenience store owner saw a man he had never seen before appear within his field of vision—how should he describe that man?

Handsome and noble! Not even the term ‘imposing’ could fully capture his essence.

The aura around him was so strong that the very air seemed to tighten as soon as he got out of the car.

The key point was that it seemed like he was coming toward him!

Because from the moment he got out, the man’s gaze fell on him, his dark and profound eyes like sharp blades, making the store owner’s heart race.

As the man began walking toward him with long strides, the store owner’s legs went weak, and he didn’t know where to put his hands.

What’s going on…
