Li Beinian had been forcing food down herself for a while now.
Seeing that Mu Donglin left, she quickly put her chopsticks down.
She took a sip of her juice and stroked her full belly as she scrolled Weibo happily.
Unsurprisingly, there was a lot going on online.
But Li Beinian hadn’t expected Sheng An Entertainment to express their good wishes too.
Then again, given that this stirred much publicity, it wasn’t strange for Sheng An to want to ride on it.
More than half of the news online was about her and her fiancé.
How annoying.
But that was good too.
With this amount of publicity, everyone who should know about it—and even everyone who shouldn’t—would be informed by now.
She kept her cell phone, got up, and left.
…
The smell of the steamboat was really strong. It took a while of being away from it before Mu Donglin felt better.
But when he went back to his seat, he realized that she had left.
He took his cell phone out and gave Li Beinian a call.
…
Li Beinian had flagged down a cap with her shades and mask on.
But this was the afternoon peak hour.
There were many cars on the road, but not any vacant cabs.
The sun was scorching at that time of the day.
Li Beinian waited in the sun for a good five minutes before hiding behind a lamppost, for fear of being caught on camera.
There still wasn’t any cab, but she saw a luxury car pull to a stop.
It was a silver Spyker, a very eye-catching car.
Li Beinian instinctively looked up at the traffic light. It was green for pedestrians.
She thought this car might have stopped for her to cross.
But the driver rolled down the window.
She felt the cool air from the air-conditioned car.
How… comfortable…
It was so warm outside!
It was summer and she had just had some steamboat. Li Beinian was barely taking it!
But what made her even more uncomfortable was that the driver turned towards her.
With well-defined features, he was a good-looking man.
Those black gem eyes, deep and beautifully reflective.
He had on a rare white top, making him appear more gentlemanly than usual.
But it was just a little, as he unbuttoned the top few buttons, showing some of his chest.
She could see his toned chest muscles and the lines on it. It was so very appealing to Li Beinian.
She couldn’t help but steal a few more glances at it.
“Get on.”
His voice was low and magnetic.
Li Beinian snapped back to her senses and said, “You got the wrong person.”
“You won’t be able to find a cab at this time, even if you stand around for the next two hours.” Mu Xichen looked up at the traffic lights. “Just five seconds left.”
Li Beinian looked up as well. He was right!
“Three, two…”
She quickly opened the door to the front passenger’s seat and got in.
The air-conditioner soothed her greatly.
“It’s so warm!” Li Beinian turned the air-conditioner vent to herself before turning to face him. “What are you doing here?”
Mu Xichen said casually, “I was just passing by.”
Li Beinian found it strange and mumbled, “So coincidental?”

Wan Lili: You’re always saying you’re just passing by!
Mu Xichen: Why, you own this road?
