The gold-embossed business card was handed over to him, and he looked at the name and phone number on it, that string of numbers which seemed to imprint itself deeply into his mind just through his pupils in an instant.
A moment later, he murmured between his lips, "I will call you..."
The car window was rolled down, letting the night wind blow in, stirring her hair strands and dispersing her scent all around him.
The incoming wind was a bit strong, drowning out his voice.
"Hmm? What did you say?"
Ruan Yiyi looked at him, her eyes clear and expression gentle and appealing.
It really didn’t match her inner thoughts.
Wen Yu shifted his gaze away, "It’s nothing, I was just saying thanks Miss Ruan for the ride."
She smiled, "No worries, we’re headed in the same direction."
It seemed what she and her boyfriend did in the hotel wasn’t important. The crucial part was that the hotel was comfortable with a nice view.
The ride to the hotel was going smoothly.
But just as they were about to reach and were crossing an intersection, an accident happened. Official source ıs novel★fire.net
A car, running the red light from the side, came crashing directly towards them; the driver suddenly swerved to dodge.
Ruan Yiyi in the back hadn’t buckled her seatbelt; she screamed as her body uncontrollably started to fall, but someone fast and alert grabbed her wrist, pulling her into his embrace.
The driver was skilled, managing to swerve and smoothly narrowly avoid the oncoming car, but tragically, that car seemed to lose control, ultimately crashing and flipping over at the curb.
It was a false alarm.
But it’s inevitable to say that Ruan Yiyi’s delicate face turned even paler, her hair messy, seemingly still shaken.
Rarely seeing her this way, not her usually dust-free, ethereal self, exposed a fragile side that evoked a surge of compassion from within.
Ruan Yiyi was indeed frightened, when the car had driven straight towards them, she truly thought she was going to die.
"Don’t be afraid, it’s all right now, I’m here."
A voice, deep and slightly serene, sounding very pleasant, rose near her ear.
Ruan Yiyi paused, glanced at the masked man, then slowly let her eyes fall to their hands that were interlocked unknowingly.
And she, was still sitting on his lap.
After realizing this, her expression subtly changed, becoming slightly complex.
She spoke slowly, lowered her eyelids, got up, and returned to her seat.
At that moment, the driver looked back with a slight pant, "Miss, are you all right, I’m sorry I——"
"It’s okay, no worries, you did really well," she said as she glanced outside:
"Let’s leave the rest to the traffic police."
The driver looked at the overturned car outside and shook his head; if it were an accident, it would be okay, but if it was found to be something else, this matter was far from over.
Yet as the car continued to move, the atmosphere in the back of the car seemed to have changed subtly.
Exactly where it was hard to say, but since that intimate embrace and clasping hands closely, the two hadn’t spoken again.
One sat on one side, the masked man looking forward, while she looked out the car window, silent.
Yet inexplicably, her palm heated up, slowly spreading warmth throughout her body.
They both finally got out when they reached the hotel destination.
