Falling in Love With My Arranged-Marriage Husband-Chapter 123 - 97: Wait for Me Obediently

Chapter 123 -97: Wait for Me Obediently

Ji Sang’s heart skipped a beat as her body instinctively leaned against the elevator wall, and after a brief shake, the lights went out completely.

She subconsciously looked at her phone, the calling interface still faintly glowing.

“Hello? Fu Yisi?”

No response.

Ji Sang tried raising her phone to different spots but still no sound, she had to admit there was no signal in the elevator.

Her eyes caught the remaining battery on the phone, and Ji Sang promptly switched to power-saving mode.

She was afraid of the dark, specifically, the darkness in an unfamiliar and narrow space. In just a minute, Ji Sang felt her breathing become rapid and her hands began to tremble.

“Don’t be scared, Ji Sang, it’s just a simple elevator malfunction,”

she comforted herself, but to no avail.

She couldn’t calm her breathing, and her hands trembled even more.

Twenty percent battery left.

Ji Sang didn’t dare to turn on the flashlight, but using the dim light from the screen, she fumbled for the emergency button and pressed it.

After pressing for several minutes, no rescuers came.

Ji Sang stopped her sore hand and fumbled in her bag for some chocolate, hoping to replenish her energy. Her trembling hands, however, took more than half a minute and still couldn’t tear off the wrapper.

Ji Sang, who had never collapsed even when facing landslides on unprotected mountains, was now on the verge of breaking down.

Her head suddenly became heavy.

Ji Sang knew she should stay alert at this moment, but for some reason, the sounds of children crying began to fill her ears.

A dirty, cramped, and dark room where time was indiscernible.

A room where cries, whips, and screams were incessant.

With a splitting headache, Ji Sang began to gasp for air, and the chocolate in her hand was crushed.

The light on her phone’s screen began to fade slowly.

Ji Sang bit her lip hard, turning the phone screen back on. To dispel the sounds around her, Ji Sang, disregarding the low battery, opened the music app and randomly played a song.

At last, she eased a bit.

Ji Sang was soaked in a cold sweat, her body limp, and she simply sat on the floor, reaching out to press the emergency button.

One press after another, repeating this mechanical motion.

…

As soon as Lu Ming walked out of the TV station’s lobby, he received a call from his mother, as always about getting married. Despite his helplessness, Lu Ming could only listen patiently to his mother’s words.

His eyes inadvertently swept over the property management office, noticing that the person who should be on duty was gone. His brows furrowed slightly, thinking he needed to have a serious talk with the responsible person tomorrow. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the emergency bell ring.

He paused in his tracks.

“Mom, I’ve got something to handle here, I’ll come home for the weekend and go on the blind date, okay?”

It was then that Mrs. Lu hung up the phone.

Frowning, Lu Ming walked into the office, scanning the room, he found the elevator malfunctioning. The staff also came running over, and his heart skipped a few beats.

“Vice Director Lu,”

Lu Ming’s expression was tense.

“What happened?”

The staff glanced over, their faces suddenly changed, and quickly called a few more via pager.

Lu Ming followed them, rushing inside the building.

“The elevator is stuck between the second and third floors,”

After a brief check, the staff knew the specific location of the elevator.

At the elevator doors on the second and third floors, someone was knocking.

Hearing the sounds, Ji Sang’s eyes widened slightly, and she slammed her bag straight against the door.

Hearing the sounds, the staff dared not delay and after a thorough check, the team leader furrowed his brow, pulling the elevator’s power switch back up.

Through the whole process, Lu Ming watched, and his face grew darker.

“Someone pulled the power switch,”

That was the cause of the power outage.

The elevator resumed operation and stopped at the second floor. Lu Ming followed and what caught his eye was the pale face of Ji Sang,

her pupils slightly dilated. Lu Ming frowned and ran over, squatting in front of Ji Sang.

“Ji Sang?”

Ji Sang’s appearance was indeed a bit disheveled now.

Her hair was messy, her face pale, and both her hands and clothes were stained with melted chocolate.

More importantly, Ji Sang’s entire state seemed somewhat off.

Her whole body was curled up, quivering slightly.

Lu Ming wanted to help her up, but his hand paused mid-air and then changed direction, gently patting her shoulder a few times.

“Ji Sang, it’s okay now.”

But Ji Sang didn’t react.

The team leader, seemingly used to such situations, directly made a suggestion.

“She might have claustrophobia. Just take her to a more open space to rest.”

Hearing these words, a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Ming’s eyes, and he looked down at Ji Sang, who was still curled up.

His voice softened.

“Shall I take you outside?”

Without getting her response, but as he placed his hand on Ji Sang’s knee bend preparing to lift her up, Ji Sang suddenly moved.

She brushed her hand across her face.

“No need.”

Her voice was extremely hoarse.

Lu Ming looked at her swollen red eyes, and for a moment was stunned. It was then that Ji Sang stood up by herself. She picked up her bag and phone from the floor and walked out of the elevator.

Then her legs gave way, and she knelt straight down onto the ground.

Fortunately, the team leader near her was quick to react and held her steady.

Lu Ming came back to reality, went to her side, and without a word, wrapped Ji Sang’s arm over his neck.

“I’ll support you.”

The two helped her sit on the sofa, and Lu Ming poured her a cup of warm water and handed it to her.

“Drink some water first to calm down.”

Ji Sang drank half of it and then handed the phone to Lu Ming.

“Could you help me charge it?”

She had been on a call with Fu Yisi when it suddenly dropped. He must be extremely upset.

With that thought, Ji Sang’s expression hurried along.

“Can I borrow your phone to make a call?”

Lu Ming handed over his own phone to her and also found a charging cable to charge hers.

Ji Sang suddenly felt a bit relieved that after Fu Yisi bought her a phone, she had remembered his number.

These eleven digits, Ji Sang trembled for half a minute before entering them, and when she made the call, she began praying that Fu Yisi wouldn’t hang up on this unknown number.

On the road, a black Range Rover was racing toward the television station. Fu Yisi’s expression was tight as he kept dialing Ji Sang’s number, only to find it switched off without exception.

He floored the gas pedal and was about to try calling again when a call came in.

An unfamiliar number.

As if he thought of something, his heart skipped a beat and he answered.

“Hello?”

Fu Yisi’s voice was cool and brief.

The moment Ji Sang heard it, all her fear dissipated, she suddenly exhaled in relief, and her tense body also relaxed.

“Fu Yisi, it’s me.”

“Where are you now?”

“At the television station.”

“Wait for me there.”

“Okay.”
