Ye Ning didn’t realize that the man had already known about the incident that happened in the company restaurant yesterday. When he saw Bai Wei and Mei Liping appearing here, naturally, he understood that they were looking for trouble with her.
What a pity, this foolish woman was still making excuses for them!
Ou Mucen’s face darkened as he approached, taking in her standing there in a simple, solid-colored crew neck T-shirt and comfortable casual jeans, with her clean and neat short hair enhancing the impression of a college student just entering society. The disdain in his eyes grew even thicker, "Drive..."
Ye Ning was taken aback, "Huh? Should I drive?"
"Or do you expect me to do it?"
Ou Mucen, carrying a laptop, casually opened the rear car door, his mind completely forgetting about last night’s events.
In urgency, Ye Ning said, "But Third Young Master, aren’t you supposed to go to B City today?"
"Is there a problem?"
"No, it’s just... I’m not going to B City. The car’s just been brought over for me to deliver by Secretary Gao," Ye Ning tried her best to soften her tone to avoid provoking the tyrant.
Yes, this man wasn’t easy to serve.
Fortunately, after she finished speaking, the man, who had already opened the back door, finally looked her way. Following that, his gaze fell on her foot still wrapped in a bandage.
"Who asked you to come?"
Ye Ning was startled!
Who asked her to come? Of course, it was Secretary Gao. Hadn’t she just said so?
Ye Ning felt a wave of trepidation as she watched the man walking towards her, his face growing even more disagreeable, "I called Secretary Gao, planning to return your car. Then he told me to drop it off here on the way."
With that remark, the man snatched the keys from her hand and got into the car.
Seeing this, Ye Ning quickly moved aside, planning to hail a cab after he left.
However, standing there, she saw that the car had started. The man inside then looked up disdainfully at her and said, "Why are you still standing there? Should I carry you in?"
No, she needed to go home. Why should she get in his car? It wasn’t even on the way.
She hurried over, "Third Young Master, I need to go home. I can walk out and catch a ride myself."
Ou Mucen impatiently glared at her, "There are no taxis here, no buses either. Even the nearest transit point is three kilometers away. If you want to walk back, be my guest."
Hearing this, Ye Ning finally understood and hastily opened the car door, getting in with an agility she had never possessed before.
That’s right, she had forgotten. He had already mentioned last night that there were no convenient transportation options here, otherwise he wouldn’t have left his car for her to drive home.
So, by inviting her into the car now, he was probably intending to drop her off at the nearest transit point before heading to B City himself.
Understanding this, Ye Ning’s previous dissatisfaction with him subsided significantly.
It seemed he wasn’t all that bad after all.
Once in the car, neither of them spoke. He drove on while she sat in the back, thinking that it was only a matter of minutes before she would arrive. She chose not to interrupt, worrying she might disturb him, especially since he began taking calls through Bluetooth. And so, the car was silent except for the sound of his phone conversations.
