Chapter 1059: Did You Miss Me Today?
Ever since Richard Shaw was forced to install WeChat on his phone, he would subconsciously check his phone every day after finishing his work, which was something he had never done before.
His communication device was custom-made by the Military District and, in principle, was not supposed to have any non-Military District software installed to prevent military secrets from being leaked. However, after Crystal Landon acted cute and begged him to install WeChat, he was forced to install other security software. Every time he wanted to open WeChat, he had to jump through hoops.
However, every time he opened it and saw the various little messages she sent, the man found himself getting a headache.
The messages every day were like this:
"Did you miss the little fairy today? O(∩_∩)O haha~"
"Wow, I saw a handsome guy with a better figure than yours! ┗|｀O′|┛Oh~~~"
"Stubborn blockhead, so stinky and hard. ╭(╯^╰)╮"
"Remember to eat, and remember to dress warmly.
After each sentence was a string of emojis he couldn’t bear to look at directly. His face would darken slightly, so he usually just glanced at them and didn’t reply.
Then, after checking it for seventy-eight, ninety days in a row, she suddenly stopped sending messages.
Having gotten used to relaxing by reading her messages every day, Richard Shaw felt something was off when they suddenly stopped. He went through all the messages she had sent and read them again. The last message was: "ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh."
The man furrowed his brow, his expression growing more stern, startling his subordinates who thought they had done something wrong. Knowing the Major General was in a bad mood, they all tried to get on his good side by volunteering for missions.
On the first day without messages from Crystal, the man thought she was probably too busy and forgot to send messages, so he held back.
On the second day without messages from Crystal, he made a call back to the Shaw Mansion. After chatting for ten minutes, he finally asked, "Has Crystal been causing any trouble at home?"
The old lady glanced at her granddaughter-in-law sitting beside her and responded sternly, "She’s been so busy lately, going out early and coming back late, she’s barely been around."
The man deeply frowned.
On the third day without messages from Crystal, the man, for the first time, sent a message back: "I will return the day after tomorrow."
When Crystal received the message, she was stunned. It had only been three days, and she immediately cheered, ran downstairs, and hugged the old lady happily, saying, "Grandma, Brother Ajie sent me a message saying he’ll be back the day after tomorrow."
The old lady smiled and said, "Good, good. He has a stubborn temper; don’t let him know you are teasing him."
"Okay." Crystal raised her chin slightly. What’s the big deal? He’s already said that even under the bed, he listens to her.
That night, the first big snow of the year fell on the Imperial City. By the next morning, the whole world was covered in white. The old lady quickly had the fireplace lit, turned on the floor heating, and had someone clear a path through the snow in the yard.
Crystal uncharacteristically put on a long, maroon, lightweight down coat, wrapping herself from head to toe. She also wore thick boots and a hat, fully armed for school.
There weren’t many classes today, and she was done by around three in the afternoon. She made an appointment with Clark Landon for dinner, so she asked the driver to take her to the Sichuan restaurant they had agreed upon.
Since she left the Landon Family, Clark had returned from a business trip to find her once, wanting to bring her home, but she refused. They didn’t really keep in touch afterward. By counting, this was only their second meeting in more than a year.
The Landon Family’s situation wasn’t good, and it affected Clark the most. He used to be known as a refined gentleman in the Imperial City, but ever since the Shaw Family released word, the Landon Family lost their biggest support, and their status plummeted. Clark also endured a lot of cold remarks.
