334 Never Felt So Afraid
This time, the architect came over to look at the hotel.
As his daughter had already made her decision to accept this challenge, Zhang Yu Han chose to stand by her side as he let her discuss the hotel with the others. Once in a while, he would give in his input as well.
Although his daughter was reluctant to accept this job in the beginning, Zhang Yu Han could see that the girl had her ideas as well.
Listening to her discussing with the architect as well as the manager made him smile.
Zhang Yu Han thought that he had made a good decision when he decide to let his daughter be involved in this hotel project.
He almost could not believe how much his little princess had grown up.
After exchanging a few ideas with the others, Zhang Li Xue walked over to her father and looked at him cautiously. Seeing that everyone else was not paying attention, Zhang Li Xue then asked, “Daddy, what do you think? Did I do alright?”
Zhang Yu Han chuckled. “Mmm... You did well. After all, you are my daughter.”
A sheepish smile curled on her lips.

“Let’s go and shop around the city after dinner,” Zhang Yu Han spoke. “I promised your mother that I would bring her something.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAccording to the plan, there would be another meeting with the manager in the morning. Then, the two of them would head back to Y City in the evening and arrive before midnight.
If they did not go out this evening, they would not have much time to shop around.
Hearing her father’s words, Zhang Li Xue naturally did not have any objection. She wanted to buy something for Bai Qi and Bai Xi Xi as well.
There were a few local snacks from H City that she wanted the siblings to try. Zhang Li Xue could already imagine that Bai Xi Xi was going to love it.
Zhang Li Xue took out her flask and drank a few sips of water. After a long discussion with the manager and the architect, she was indeed feeling a little thirsty.
Just in time, the manager called her, wanting to discuss the structure in the lobby.
“Go.” Zhang Yu Han nodded. He took his phone and smiled. “I’m going to step out for a while and call your mother.”
The line inside the building was not very clear. It’s better to call his wife outside. Besides, there were a few things that he wanted to tell his wife as well.
Zhang Li Xue laughed. “Alright. Daddy, you go ahead. I’ll wait for you inside.”
Zhang Yu Han watched as his daughter went after the manager until her figure could no longer be seen. Then, he turned around and walked over to the vehicle.
Seeing that his assistant approaching, Zhang Yu Han instructed the man to look after his daughter inside the hotel building.
Then, leaning on the vehicle, Zhang Yu Han took out his phone and dialed his wife’s number. The phone call was connected after a few seconds.
Hearing his wife’s voice on the other line made him feel more at ease.
“How is it?” Li Qin Yao asked. “Did you enjoy your time with Li Xue?”
Zhang Yu Han laughed. “It’s not that bad.” A heavy sigh escaped him. “Qin Yao, our daughter has really grown up, right?”
“Mmm... Yu Han, the two of us have grown old as well.”
The corner of his lips tilted up when he heard his wife’s words. The two of them have been together for years. Their hair had already turned a little white, but Zhang Yu Han thought that his wife was still the prettiest as the first time he saw her.
“You’re coming back tomorrow evening right?” Li Qin Yao spoke. “Should I go and pick up you and Li Xue from the airport?”
“It’s alright. The flight will be arriving a few minutes before midnight. I don’t want to tire you.”
Li Qin Yao pursed her lips. “But I miss you and Li Xue.”
His heart was touched, but Zhang Yu Han still did not allow his wife to pick him up from the airport. Otherwise, he would be worried if his wife had to drive alone.
In the end, Li Qin Yao could only agree to wait for them at home.
The husband and wife chatted for a long time. They were not used to being apart for a long time and they were missing each other terribly.
Seeing that the two of them had chatted for a long time, Li Qin Yao reminded her husband to check on their daughter.
Zhang Yu Han hung up his phone and was about to head back into the hotel building to look for the others. He was about to dial his assistant’s number when he felt his body swaying.
In the beginning, Zhang Yu Han thought that there was something wrong with his body.

An earthquake!
Zhang Yu Han raised his head when he heard a loud rumble in front of him.
His eyes were wide as he watched the building gradually collapse.
His heart skipped a beat.
Zhang Yu Han still remembered that everyone else was still in the building, including his daughter.
“No!” His lips parted. Zhang Yu Han wanted to go over and look for his daughter, but the tremor made it difficult for him to stand.
The tremor finally stopped after a while, but the rumble in front of him continued.
Zhang Yu Han stood up quickly and ran over as he watched the building in front of his collapse.
His heart was beating furiously.
Soon, everything stopped and the atmosphere turned quiet.
Zhang Yu Han stood in front of the collapsed entrance with his mind blank. His face paled. Zhang Yu Han had never felt so afraid.
His little princess was still inside! But, he could not enter the place and had no idea where she was.
“Li Xue!” Zhang Yu Han started to run around the building. His breathing was heavy as he began to search for his daughter.
