A heavy object fell onto the ground with a loud, explosive sound and fumes of dust wafted into the air.
Luo Anning turned around to look at the gilded billboard that had fallen onto the ground. Had she been pulled away a second later, would she have been smashed into bits?
“Are you alright?” Feng Churui asked after letting go of her.
Luo Anning finally realized that the person who had saved her was Feng Churui, one of Rong Yan’s childhood friends.
Her palms had become sweaty. She took a deep breath and said, “I’m alright. Thank you, Mayor Feng.”
Seeing that she was alright, Feng Churui said calmly, “You don’t have to stand on ceremony with me. It was just a simple favor. Besides, you’re Yan’s wife.”
He looked calm and handsome as usual.
Luo Anning knew that he only saved her because she was Rong Yan’s wife. Hence, she smiled and changed the subject by saying, “What is Mayor Feng doing here?”
“There’s a civil event that I have to attend in Zhun’An street. I’m here for an impromptu inspection.”
Luo Anning took a look to see that there were plenty of bystanders and a few high-rank government officials of S City...
“Mayor, the billboard suddenly dropped in the downtown area, and that poses a severe safety hazard. I’ll make a police report now and get them to investigate the cause of this incident,” said Secretary Wu who then smiled and spoke to Feng Churui.
Feng Churui nodded and instructed him to get to the bottom of the truth at all costs, and get rid of the safety hazards that would put the lives of the citizens in danger.
Secretary Wu acknowledged his orders with a nod and grabbed his phone to go make the necessary arrangements. Luo Anning glanced at Feng Churui and said, “Mayor Feng, please don’t inform Young Master Rong of what happened today.”
Feng Churui chuckled and glanced at her for a while before saying, “Sure. I’ll get the police to give you an explanation after the investigations are complete.”
“Thank you very much, Mayor Feng.”
...
“Where did you go?”
Rong Yan was seated on the couch in Luxury Mansion with a petulant expression on his face, seemingly displeased and frustrated.
Luo Anning’s eyes lit up a little and she walked towards him to sit beside him. “I had something to attend to so I went out for a while.”
Rong Yan said, “Come sit next to me.”
Luo Anning shot him a peculiar glance, as if he were a lunatic. She then pursed her lips and decided to ignore him.
Luo Anning, who had just had a close shave with death, simply could not figure out the reason for the random falling of the billboard. Not to mention it coincidentally fell onto her too.
She had never liked letting her imagination run wild but she could not help but dwell on it because it was too much of a coincidence.
The Laurent incident had yet to come to a rest and yet, something like that happened again. She was at a complete loss for what to do and she wished she could sever herself into two halves so that she could settle everything.
The spot beside Luo Anning sunk a little and Rong Yan’s clear and refreshing masculine scent wafted into her nose. She leaned in his embrace and allowed him to hug her. There was nothing she could do with him at all.
“Didn’t I tell you to get some rest? Why did you go out again? You’ve turned even more sickly-looking after running around the entire day. You’re really forgetful. Aren’t you afraid that the Laurent York incident would happen again?”
Luo Anning nodded and smiled at him. “Young Master Rong, I’ll be mistaken and take it that you’re showing me concern if you keep behaving like this.”
Rong Yan frowned and thought to himself, it obviously isn’t a misunderstanding. Aren’t I blatantly showing my concern?
