“Let’s hope not, because I don’t wish to spend the night with you here!” Li Meng said with disdain in her tone.
“You think I want to?” Wu Xingye snorted.
Just at this point, Li Meng received a text message from Mu Huan.
“Let me know once you’ve reached home safely. If in danger, inform me immediately!”
Although Mu Huan felt that Wu Xingye and Li Meng would be able to leave the club safely in this manner, she was still rather worried about them.
“We don’t know how long it will be before the car leaves, but no matter, it shouldn’t be too difficult for the two of us to deal with one car owner. Don’t worry about us.” Li Meng knew that Mu Huan could be in an even more dangerous situation than they were. She could be exposed if she weren’t careful.
On getting her reply, Mu Huan was just thinking what to say next…
When PA Wang, who had just ended his conversation with Bao Junyan, looked toward her and asked, “Where’s your friend Li Meng?”
Her hand tightened into a fist as she fumbled for an answer, “She… I had asked her to go home first.”
Then, she added quickly, as though what she had just said wasn’t enough, “I didn’t want her to see my husband straying… so I asked her to go home…”
Bao Junyan: “…”
“Ask her out later on, and we’ll have supper together.” Initially, Bao Junyan had thought that since he was in the Imperial Capital, he was going to tell her this the following day, after he was done attending to his business, and take her out sightseeing. Hence, his schedule was tight today and he had not had dinner.
Mu Huan: “…!!”
How was she going to ask her out? She was still stuck in a car boot at the car park!
“What’s the matter?”
“Xiao Meng is on a diet these days — she wouldn’t want supper. Let’s just go — the two of us.” Mu Huan lowered her head, feeling somewhat guilty.
“Sure. In this case, let her know that she’ll be sleeping alone tonight.” So this was the real reason that he had invited her friend out for supper.
Mu Huan: “…”
It wasn’t a problem to tell Li Meng that she’d have to spend the night alone, but the point was that the two of them were still trapped, and if anything should happen, she would have to rush over to rescue them! If she spent the night with him, how was she going to do that?!
“What’s up?” Bao Junyan turned to look at her when he did not get a response.
“Hubby, I don’t think it’s a good idea… I took this trip with her. It would be like going back on my word if I left her alone…”
“You’re not really leaving her alone. I’m staying right next door to you.”
Mu Huan: “…!!!”
She felt like she was going mad! Why did he have to come to the Imperial Capital at this time!
“Hubby, it’s a rare chance for me to take a fun trip with a friend. It’s something that I’ve been longing for for a long time, and now it’s turning out like this…” Can’t he spend one night by himself? Can’t he?! He’s not a three-year-old child who needs company!
“The next time I go on a business trip, you can take a fun trip with her again.”
“It’s not like that, it’s…”
“You’re so unwilling to be with me?” Bao Junyan narrowed his eyes. All of a sudden, there was a sense of danger.
Mu Huan: “…”
What the…
Finally, she collapsed in his embrace as though exhausted and broken down. “It’s not that I don’t want to be with my Hubby, it’s just that I don’t like my plans being messed up…”
Bao Junyan also disliked his plans being messed up. For the first time in his life, he gave in and said, “Well then, I won’t go sightseeing with you tomorrow, so you can still be with your friend and have fun. Just stay with me tonight. It won’t affect the plans you’ve made for the trip.”
Mu Huan: “…!!!”
Have fun, my ass! She was worried sick that the two wouldn’t be able to make an escape!
But since he had already relented to this extent, what else could Mu Huan do?
She could only take the opportunity, when Bao Junyan had gone to the washroom at their supper venue, to send Li Meng a text message to ask about their situation. She told them not to contact her if things were fine, and if they were in trouble, they must get in touch with her.
