Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Give Me Another 24 Hours (2)_1

The man standing with his back facing her said nothing.

Chen Cang stared at He Che’s figure for a while, then spoke again: "Boss, the accident that happened to Miss, it’s not your fault. You don’t need to blame yourself so much, or persist in staying here... The old man asked you to protect Miss, but some accidents are out of your control... It’s been three months already..."

She really couldn’t stand watching He Che drifting aimlessly in the deep sea, self-torturing himself whenever he had time since Miss had met the mishap. She wanted He Che to face reality; she wanted to tell him that even if he kept on waiting, Miss would never appear. Even a specially trained person couldn’t survive in the ocean for three months, let alone the physically weak Miss. The sea was ruthless, and the chances of surviving the yacht explosion were incredibly low.

But, when the words reached the tip of her tongue, Chen Cang ultimately couldn’t bring herself to utter such brutal words.

She knew well enough that everything she wanted to say, He Che understood. He simply refused to accept them.

A man and a woman, one in front, one behind, stood on the deck — neither speaking for a long time.

The sea breeze howled, piercingly cold.

Chen Cang, not scared of the cold since childhood, couldn’t help but shiver, "Boss, the temperature is exceptionally low today. If you stay here, you might catch a cold. Shall I take you back?"

He Che, like a mute, still remained silent.

Just as Chen Cang was about to persuade He Che again, he finally spoke: "Do you need something from me?"

Chen Cang held back her caring words for He Che, watched his back for a few seconds, and then got to the point: "Boss, when are you planning to return to France?"

He returned to China because he was dissatisfied with his work, feeling that it lacked a soul. Someone told him it was because his work lacked emotion. So he came back hoping to find true love and thus his inspiration.

Then he met Miss, and afterwards, he stayed for her... Although Miss is missing and considered lost, she may have already left this world. There’s no reason for He Che to stay any longer.

Moreover, he’s been away from his company for a long time now. It’s about time he returned...

As He Che didn’t respond for a while, Chen Cang continued: "Boss, you’ve been away from the company for a year now. You’ve exceeded the time you promised everyone by a full six months... Besides, the old man has been urging you to return frequently lately..."

"The old man called me tonight, specifically saying that if you don’t leave soon, he will send someone over to force you back tonight..."

Before Chen Cang could even finish her sentence, He Che interrupted: "Give me another twenty-four hours."

Chen Cang swallowed her words.

Three seconds later, He Che spoke again, repeating his request: "Give me another twenty-four hours...No matter what, help me delay for twenty-four hours...I want to stay with her here for twenty-four hours... Then I’ll go back with you."

Chen Cang pursed her lips, saying nothing.

He Che turned his head, looking at Chen Cang, "Please."

Chen Cang’s hand trembled slightly, ultimately she couldn’t refuse He Che’s request. After struggling for a few seconds, she nodded, "Okay, boss, I’ll do everything I can to help you buy another twenty-four hours."
