The driver looked relieved and said with a smile, “Young Lady, you’ve woken up. That’s great, I was worrying about how to wake you up since it was getting dark.”
“Right, I’ve been waiting for you outside for quite a while, and seeing that you hadn’t come out, I came in to check. I found you asleep on the sofa and didn’t want to disturb you. I took the liberty of turning off the stove, I’m sorry, Young Lady.”
So it was Uncle Huang who had turned off the stove, and there she was, letting her imagination run wild. Her secret marriage husband was still thousands of miles away in Country F, how could he possibly have returned? Chi Enen blushed with embarrassment and quickly waved her hand, “No, I’m the one who should say sorry. I might have drunk a bit at noon and got dizzy, so I accidentally fell asleep. Thank goodness, Uncle Huang, that you turned off the fire in the kitchen, otherwise, I would have caused a disaster today.”
“Young Lady, there’s no need to be so polite, it was my duty.” He hesitated for a moment before saying with difficulty, “It’s just that I might not be able to drive the Young Lady home later. I still have to deliver the Tomato Beef Brisket to the hospital, the CEO just called to rush me.”
Chi Enen immediately replied, “It’s okay, I can go back by myself.”
“How can that be? This is the Villa District, there isn’t a single taxi here. Young Lady, it would take at least an hour to walk to a place where you can hail a cab. It’s so late now, it’s not safe for a young woman to be alone.”
Indeed, this was a well-known wealthy neighborhood in Capital City, taxis wouldn’t come in here. It would indeed be inconvenient for her to walk back, not so much because it was unsafe, but because it would take too long. She could only imagine the scene of Baby Chi throwing a tantrum when she got home.
Chi Enen was a bit troubled, “Then… what should I do?”
The driver said with a smile, “Young Lady doesn’t need to worry, I just called a friend of mine, and he happens to be free. I already told him where Young Lady lives, so please take his car home later.”
“Thank you, Uncle Huang.” Since he had been so considerate for her, Chi Enen expressed her sincere thanks.
The driver’s eyes flickered, seemingly filled with embarrassment and guilt. His mouth moved, but what reached his lips turned into, “Young Lady, please get ready, my friend is already waiting outside.”
Chi Enen hadn’t thought that much; she picked up her bag and took out her mobile phone to check. Noting that the phone had run out of power and turned off automatically, she rubbed her temple with a headache, thinking that Baby Chi must have called to find her phone off. Quickly packing her bag without any further courtesy, she said goodbye to the driver and left.
Indeed, a silver Volkswagen was parked outside.
She opened the backseat car door and got in, “Sorry to have kept you waiting. Please take me to Jianda Garden.”
There was a moment of silence in the car.
Just as Chi Enen wondered why he wasn’t speaking, the car started and headed toward Jianda Garden…
Along the way, the driver in the front seat didn’t say a word, and she felt uncomfortable initiating conversation. The atmosphere in the car was so awkward, and just at that moment, her phone had died too, preventing her from playing with her phone to ease the tension.
Chi Enen, feeling downhearted, opened the car window. The cool breeze from outside blew in, so she leaned over by the window, resigned to watching the roadside scenery…
Finally.
The car stopped at the alley entrance of the Community, and Chi Enen couldn’t wait to pull open the door, bend over and say a word of thanks to the person inside, then closed the door and hurried towards her home.
At this time, only then did the car window of the driving cabin slowly roll down, revealing a face so handsome that it was almost an affront to the gods, full of untouchable nobility. Who else could it be but Li Beijue?
He raised his head to look towards the 7th floor of the Community, his thin lips gradually tightening into a line!
