With this thought, she glanced at her watch then turned toward the service worker behind her, "Miss, I’d like to ask, what’s the most convenient way to get back to A City from here?"
"To A City? Of course, it would be the high-speed train, but it’s so late now that you probably won’t be able to buy a ticket. The long-distance coach is a better option at this point."
The long-distance coach?
Ye Ning’s eyes lit up at the mention.
Yes, the long-distance coach. Mucen always did as he pleased; who knew whether he would return today?
Moreover, it seemed that President Xiao was ready to entertain him with great fanfare. Given these circumstances, she’d better find her own way back.
So she spent the next while at the service desk, asking the worker in detail how to get to the long-distance bus station and then how to take the coach, meticulously writing down the information with pen and paper.
Having noted down everything just in time, her phone, which was charging on the counter, rang. Quickly grabbing it, she answered while walking toward the dining area, "Hello, this is Ou..."
"Brother Mucen, I heard you came to B City, is that right? Where are you now? I’m also in B City. I want to come and find you."
Determinedly, Ye Ning hurriedly stepped toward the dining table and handed over the phone, "Young Master, your call."
Ou Mucen was in conversation with the man across from him. Hearing this, he took the phone from her hand without even looking, "Hello?"
"Who are you? Why are you answering Brother Mucen’s phone? Who gave you permission to do that?" As soon as the phone reached his ear, an angry woman’s voice came from the other end.
The mayor’s daughter, Chen Kexin?
As soon as Ou Mucen heard this, his expression immediately darkened, "Who told you my number?"
Chen Kexin was taken aback on hearing his voice, and instantly, her tone changed, "Brother Mucen, it’s you, it was the lady who told me. Brother Mucen, I just wanted to ask where you are, I happen to be in B City today too, I want to come to you."
"No need!" With that, he was about to end the call.
Chen Kexin on the other end of the phone became anxious as soon as she heard this, "Brother Mucen, I mean no harm, I just want to bring you the local specialties the lady asked me to buy here, so you can take them back to her. I won’t disturb you."
There was no sound. The man simply hung up the phone and threw it on the table.
Seeing this, Ye Ning’s heart skipped a beat.
Who was this person that could make him look so grim? Surely it wasn’t because she had answered a phone call she shouldn’t have?
The domineering tone of that woman on the phone left her feeling unsettled...
The middle-aged man opposite also sensed something was off and cautiously asked, "President Ou, is that... a friend coming to see you?"
Ou Mucen lifted his glass from the table and took a sip, "No, didn’t you mention something about a show? Where should we go next?"
The man’s eyes sparkled, "Yes, yes, yes, I’ll take you to a great place, I guarantee you’ll be singing its praises once you’ve been." No sooner had he finished speaking than he had already stood up.
Ye Ning realized there was trouble.
See? She knew he wouldn’t go back that easily. What time was it already, and he still had a show to attend?
Ye Ning gave up all hope. Watching the middle-aged man walk away, and Mucen, too, stood up to leave, she quickly followed a few steps behind.
