Chapter 193 The Confused Little Fairy Remarries Her Father-like God (18)

However, at this moment, I suggest first communicating with both parties involved in the case. Once we appease them, quell their resentment, and resolve their major problem of petitioning everywhere, this matter will not be difficult to handle.

Throughout the entire process, she did not shift the blame to Chu Yuan, nor did she emphasize Chu Yuan's negligence like Zhu Liwen did.

Chu Yuan thought with relief that she got along well with her assistant, otherwise she would have been in a really mess!

After discussion, the entire department agreed on the assistant's proposed solution.

Chu Yuan also worked extremely hard for several days.

In the end, although it couldn't make things much better, it was still passable.

Chu Yuan was so tired that she hadn't slept well for several days, and she still couldn't get in touch with Shen Xizhou. Feeling heartbroken, she sent him a few messages.

Even though I don't want to feel wronged, I just can't help it.

[Judge Shen, I'm in big trouble.]

[No, Shen Xizhou, you're in big trouble! The client has explicitly reported you to the court president that there are problems with your documents, accusing you of favoritism, improper work attitude, and lack of professional competence as a judicial officer. They've even sued me and Assistant Zhang as well. You're not here, and I heard from Vice Judge Zhu that they seem to be planning to fire me to appease the client's anger and resentment...]

[Shen Xizhou, have you seen this message? When are you coming back?]

[Shen Xizhou, I miss you.]

[I love your elegance, your maturity and resourcefulness, your gentleness and peace. You built high walls around me, protecting me from the outside world, and providing a haven of happiness where I don't have to squeeze onto buses, move frequently, or feel inferior. But Chen Xizhou, why didn't you appear when I needed you most? Perhaps, maybe, when you return... I, this troublesome one, will no longer be a burden to you.]

Five days later, Shen Xizhou finished his secret training and turned on his phone.

Several messages from Chu Yuan popped up, along with messages from many other people, but he didn't even glance at the others' messages. He focused intently on reading each message in his chat with Chu Yuan.

When he saw the message, "[Shen Xizhou, I miss you.]", his heart instantly ached terribly.

From the short text, he reconstructed most of the events, and seemed to see the little girl with teary eyes, choked with grievance and unable to speak, just like when she first answered the phone—

So fragile, pitiful, and vulnerable, as if they could die at any moment.

Shen Xizhou's heart, which was as solid as a copper wall, suddenly cracked as if it had been hit hard with a stick.

Therefore, he couldn't wait and wanted to see Chu Yuan immediately.

Without his protection, the little girl lost her carefree life; it turns out, he was so reluctant to let her go.

Shen Xizhou ignored the original high-speed rail ticket and bought a plane ticket with the earliest available departure time.

But when he rushed back to the court at top speed, calling Chu Yuan's cell phone as he ran towards her workstation, he was stunned to find that Chu Yuan's desk was completely empty!

Was he too late?
