Chapter 2716 Yes, I Have to Go Back

The secretary nodded: "Yes... I won't talk nonsense, but what I said is the truth. Even if you want to work overtime for me, I will accept it. But you really can't go back like this today. It's too dark today, and many street lights are not on. It's several times more dangerous to go back like this than during the day. I can't let you take risks like this."

The secretary stopped in front of Xia Anlan and refused to move away no matter what.

"Go find me a small motorboat and take a boat back."

"Ah? Do you really have to go back?"

"Yes, you have to go back."

"Mayor, you can't be so willful."

"Go prepare."

The secretary saw that it was useless to say anything, so he had to turn around and arrange the motorboat. He also felt desperate. The master was too willful.

...

Su Ningmei was lying on the sofa in the living room, waiting for Xia Anlan, but he didn't come back. She didn't know when she fell asleep with the remote control in her hand.

A loud bang outside woke Su Ningmei up.

She opened her eyes suddenly and sat up from the sofa.

She was stunned for a few seconds before she came to her senses.

Su Ningmei rubbed her eyes. How did she fall asleep? She looked up at the wall clock. It was already 11 o'clock. At this time, Xia Anlan had not come back yet.

Su Ningmei was a little worried and disappointed.

He promised to come back to eat hot pot together in the evening, but he has not come back yet.

It's already this time. It seems that he will definitely not come back.

Su Ningmei looked at the ingredients she prepared on the table and sighed. Forget it. He must be very busy. He is busy with important things. She should not talk about these at this time.

Although she understood in her heart and understood him, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

She was going to put away all the ingredients prepared on the table. Xia Anlan probably couldn't come back tonight. These things couldn't be left here all night.

Just as she picked up a plate, the room suddenly fell into darkness, and all the lights in the house went out instantly.

Su Ningmei was stunned. No way, there was a power outage?

It was raining and windy, and it was normal to have a power outage, but... why did it happen at this time?

Su Ningmei swallowed and fumbled to put the plate down.

When Xia Anlan left in the morning, she told her that there were spare candles and flashlights in the drawer under the TV. She fumbled in the dark and slowly walked towards the TV.

Su Ningmei regretted that she should have taken out the flashlight and candle earlier.

This was not her home. She was not familiar with this place. She knew where the TV was, but in this dark environment, her sense of direction might be wrong.

Su Ningmei moved slowly step by step and bumped into it several times. After searching for a long time, she still couldn't find the TV. Su Ningmei was anxious. She was actually very afraid of the dark, especially on such a night. Suddenly, there was no electricity and she couldn't see anything. The sound of rain and thunder outside was particularly scary in her ears.

Su Ningmei's heart was beating very fast. When her eyes couldn't see, her ears were particularly sensitive and all sounds were amplified.

She bit her lip. It's okay. Don't be afraid. Maybe... Xia Anlan will be back soon.

Notice, it should be good news, there are girls in the comment area every day asking for more updates, probably next week, there may be one more update.

To update more, I need to prepare a lot of manuscripts in advance. My coding speed is not fast, and I have to practice driving every day, so from today on, the update volume will be reduced to 4 updates a day, and the two updates during the day will be suspended. When the update is released, I will double it.

Good night!
