Kembali ke vila.
Ekspresi wajah seseorang masih belum kunjung membaik.
Sementara Xiao Liuliu mengikuti butler ke halaman kecil untuk bermain, Nian Xiaomu dipanggil ke ruang belajar oleh Yu Yuehan.
Takut pria itu akan mengencingkannya karena cemburu saat tak ada orang lain di sekitar, dia mengikutinya dengan sangat hati-hati sepanjang jalan.
"Orang-orang yang aku suruh sudah mengirim kabar." Yu Yuehan berjalan ke meja dan mengangkat wajah tampannya sedikit.
Nian Xiaomu tercengang, tapi hampir segera sadar kembali.
Dia bergegas maju dan menopang kedua lengannya di meja.
"Maksudmu kau berhasil menghubungi Tuan Lombardi?"
Itu benar-benar cepat...
Kemampuan yang dimiliki pria ini memang misteri.
"Uh-huh." Yu Yuehan melirik ke arahnya; dia tampak sangat puas melihat Nian Xiaomu menatapnya dengan penuh pengaguman.
Kalau begitu, usaha dia mengirimkan anak buahnya jauh-jauh tidak sia-sia.
Sambil melemparkan jasnya ke samping dengan santai, Yu Yuehan menjangkau komputernya dan membuka email yang baru diterima.
Kemudian dia berjalan ke arah Nian Xiaomu.
"Karyawan di studio Lombardi makan makanan busuk dan menderita keracunan makanan. Mereka dirawat secara massal kemarin sore." Saat Yu Yuehan membuka mulutnya dan berbicara, sinar licik berkedip di matanya.
"Keracunan makanan... Parah nggak? Tuan Lombardi dan yang lain baik-baik saja?"
Ekspresi wajah Nian Xiaomu berubah dalam kurang dari satu detik mendengar kabar itu.
"Aku tau Tuan Lombardi tidak akan melewati tenggat waktu tanpa alasan. Dia orang yang sangat menghargai janji—kalau tidak parah, dia pasti sudah menghubungi kita!"
"..."
Mata Yu Yuehan menggelap saat menatap wajah kecil itu yang penuh kekhawatiran.
Hal pertama yang dia lakukan saat akhirnya berhasil menghubungi Lombardi bukan meminta draf desain, tapi justru khawatir pada Lombardi dan karyawan studionya.
Dia benar-benar... sangat berbeda.
"Tuan Muda,既然 kau bisa tahu mereka kena keracunan makanan, apakah kau juga tahu kondisi mereka saat ini?"
Dengan tergesa-gesa, Nian Xiaomu mengulurkan tangan dan memegang lengan pria itu.
"Untuk keracunan makanan umum, setelah mencuci lambung dan istirahat sehari, mereka seharusnya sudah sadar dan tidak mungkin tak terhubung selama ini. Aku khawatir kondisinya tidak bagus karena Lombardi belum mengirim orang menghubungi kita sampai sekarang."
Lagi pula, seluruh studio kena keracunan makanan bersamaan.
Selama salah satu dari mereka sadar, mustahil tidak ada yang terpikir untuk menghubungi Yu Corporation.
Kedua pihak sudah menandatangani kontrak kerja sama resmi.
Hanya denda pelanggaran kontrak saja sudah jumlah yang fantastis!
"..."
Yu Yuehan tidak langsung menjawab. Saat menundukkan pandangan, dia menatap tangan yang memegang lengannya.
Dia sangat tegang.
Dia memegang lengannya dengan keras dan seolah mengandalkannya sebagai tumpuan.
Detak jantungnya mulai tak terkendali karena kuku-kukunya seolah membawa arus listrik yang perlahan mengalir ke hatinya.
Dia ingin menepuk kepalanya dan memberitahu bahwa semuanya baik-baik saja.
Dia juga ingin menariknya ke pelukannya dan menyuruhnya jangan khawatir atau takut.
"Tuan Muda? Tuan Muda?"
Nian Xiaomu mengangkat kepala dengan ragu karena tidak mendapat jawaban apa pun.
Saat dia mengikuti pandangannya, barulah dia sadar bahwa dia telah memegang lengan pria itu dengan erat selama ini dan segera melepaskannya dengan malu.
"Erm, aku tidak bermaksud memanfaatkanmu. Tadi aku terlalu gelisah."
"..."
Pandangan Yu Yuehan berkedip—malah dia mengerutkan kening dengan wajah tidak puas setelah beban di lengannya hilang.
Lama kemudian, barulah dia berbicara, "Sudah kuberi tahu orang untuk menemui Lombardi di rumah sakit. Kita seharusnya bisa dapat kabarnya sebentar lagi." Yu Yuehan menarik kursi dan duduk begitu selesai bicara.
Tangannya tanpa sadar naik ke ruas alis dan memijatnya.
Dengan alis berkerut, dia menatap Nian Xiaomu dan bertanya, "Kenapa kau masih berdiri di sana? Mari sini dan bayar bunganya."
Nian Xiaomu: "..."

Back in the villa.
Someone’s facial expression still had not taken a turn for the better.
While Xiao Liuliu followed the butler into the courtyard to play, Nian Xiaomu was called into the study room by Yu Yuehan.
Afraid that he would strangle her to death out of jealousy while no one was around, she very carefully followed behind him the entire way there.
“The guys that I sent have replied with updates.” Yu Yuehan walked to the table and lifted his handsome face slightly.
Nian Xiaomu was stunned, but snapped back to her senses almost immediately.
She rushed forward and propped both her arms on the table.
“Are you saying that you have managed to contact Mr. Lombardi?”
That was really fast…
The capability that this man possessed was indeed a mystery.
“Uh-huh.” Yu Yuehan cast a glance at her; he seemed to be very satisfied that she was staring at him with a look full of worship.
In this case, it wasn’t a waste of effort for him to specially send his men out on this trip.
As Yu Yuehan conveniently tossed his coat to the side, he reached out to turn on his computer and opened up the email which he had just received.
After that, he walked to her.
“The employees in Lombardi’s studio ate some bad food and contracted food poisoning. They were collectively hospitalized yesterday afternoon.” As Yu Yuehan opened his thin lips and spoke, a treacherous ray of light flickered in his eyes.
“Food poisoning… Is it serious? Are Mr. Lombardi and the rest alright?”
Nian Xiaomu’s facial expression changed in under a second the moment she heard what he said.
“I knew Mr. Lombardi would not miss the deadline without any rhyme or reason. He is a man who values promises greatly—if it wasn’t serious, he would have contacted us by now!”
“…”
Yu Yuehan’s eyes darkened as he stared at her little face that was filled with worry.
The first thing she did when they finally managed to contact Lombardi was not to ask him for the design draft, but instead, she was worried for Lombardi and the employees from the studio.
She was really… very different.
“Young Master, since you were able to find out that they had contracted food poisoning, did you manage to find out about their current situation as well?”
In a hurry, Nian Xiaomu reached out and grabbed his arm.
“For general food poisoning, after they had their stomachs pumped and took a day of rest, they should be able to regain consciousness and would not have been unreachable the whole time. I am worried that the situation might not be very favorable since Lombardi has not sent someone to contact us yet.”
Furthermore, the entire studio had contracted the food poisoning together.
As long as one of them was conscious, it would be highly improbable that none of them had thought of contacting the Yu Corporation until now.
Both parties had signed an official contract for the collaboration.
Just the penalty fee alone for breaching the contract was a shocking sum!
“…”
Yu Yuehan did not answer her question immediately. As he lowered his gaze, he stared at the hand that was grabbing his arm.
She was very tensed up.
She was grabbing his arm with great force and seemed to be relying on him as a source of support.
His heartbeat started to become uncontrolled because her nails seemed to carry a source of electrical current that slowly transmitted electricity to his heart.
He had the urge to give her a pat on the head and let her know that it was alright.
He also wanted to draw her into his embrace and tell her to not be worried or afraid.
“Young Master? Young Master?”
Nian Xiaomu lifted her head up doubtfully when she couldn’t get a reply from him no matter what she did.
When she followed his gaze, she finally realized that she had been grabbing his arm tightly all this time and immediately retracted her arm out of embarrassment.
“Erm, I didn’t mean to take advantage of you. I was too agitated just now.”
“…”
Yu Yuehan’s gaze flickered—he instead frowned with a displeased look after the load had been shifted away from his arm.
A long while later, he finally spoke and said, “I have already sent someone to visit Lombardi in the hospital. We should be able to get updates about him soon.” Yu Yuehan pulled the chair out and sat down the moment he finished his piece.
His hands subconsciously gravitated to the space between his eyebrows and massaged it.
With knitted brows, he looked at her and asked, “Why are you still standing there? Come over here and pay off your interest.”
Nian Xiaomu: “…”
