Chapter 33: Where are you going? I'll take you

Waking up the next day and having breakfast, Seeing Rong Ci went to work as usual.

At noon, while she was eating, a call from Feng Jingxin came through.

This was the first time Feng Jingxin had called her since she had quietly slipped away from the hot spring villa.

Seeing Rong Ci answered.

"Mom..."

"Mm." Seeing Rong Ci responded, then asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Just finished!"

That morning at the hot spring villa, she had received a call from Aunt Wuwu, saying that Dad had gone out to play with her and asking if she wanted to come join them.

She had agreed immediately.

And while Seeing Rong Ci wasn't paying attention, she had snuck away.

They had a wonderful time and only returned to the city yesterday afternoon.

But they hadn't gone home last night.

Returning to school this morning, she thought of Seeing Rong Ci and felt a bit guilty, worried that Seeing Rong Ci would be angry, so she called her.

However, hearing her mom take the initiative to ask if she had eaten, it seemed she wasn't angry about her sneaking off that day, so she felt relieved.

She just knew that Mom definitely couldn't bear to be angry with her!

However, she had also noticed these past few days that Mom didn't call her every day like before, nor did she constantly ask about her whereabouts.

She felt this was quite good.

She liked this change in Mom!

This way, she would be much freer to do whatever she wanted!

Seeing Rong Ci indeed hadn't asked about their whereabouts over the past two days.

Because she wasn't interested.

After chatting with Feng Jingxin for a while about her studies, Seeing Rong Ci hung up.

Back at the office, Yu Moxun came over to ask her, "The tech exhibition is tomorrow. Should everyone gather at the company and head out together?"

Seeing Rong Ci: "Sure."

The next morning, Seeing Rong Ci drove out, but not long after, her car suddenly broke down, and the car behind crashed into her, triggering a chain reaction of traffic accidents.

A bunch of drivers behind her were cursing.

The cars couldn't move, obstructing traffic.

Seeing Rong Ci apologized to the drivers of the cars behind her and immediately dialed the emergency number, waiting for rescue personnel to arrive.

It was just that this matter was very time-consuming to handle, and she was in a rush to attend the exhibition—

"Car broke down?"

At this moment, a tall, upright figure walked over from the sidewalk on the other side.

Seeing Rong Ci looked up.

He Zhangbai.

Why was it him?

She gave a faint "Mm," not really wanting to deal with him. She first called Yu Moxun to inform him of her situation, then told them to head out first without waiting for her, and that she would go over once she had handled things.

"This kind of traffic accident is quite troublesome to handle."

By the time she finished handling it and got there, the exhibition would probably already be over.

Yu Moxun said: "Wait a moment, I'll contact someone to help you, though it will probably take at least half an hour before they can get to you."

"It's fine, I can enter later."

As long as she didn't miss the exhibition, it would be fine.

After hanging up, Seeing Rong Ci was just about to communicate with the drivers behind her when He Zhangbai suddenly spoke: "I'll have someone help you handle the matter here. Where are you going? I'll take you."

Seeing Rong Ci was stunned and looked up at him.

Five minutes later, Seeing Rong Ci was in He Zhangbai's car.

The two of them sat in the back seat with a distance between them, but Seeing Rong Ci still felt a bit awkward.

"Thank you."

"Just a small favor."

A small favor...

Seeing Rong Ci frowned.

In the past, He Zhangbai had basically treated her as if she were invisible.

They had even had an unpleasant encounter when they met at the racetrack before.

Although they had met last time and He Zhangbai had uncharacteristically taken the initiative to greet her, but—

He Zhangbai was very busy and made several calls after getting in the car.

This made Seeing Rong Ci breathe a sigh of relief.

They weren't close, and being in such a confined space together made her feel quite uncomfortable.

More than forty minutes later, the car arrived at the entrance of the tech exhibition.

Seeing Rong Ci got out of the car and finally said politely to He Zhangbai: "Thank you."

He Zhangbai: "Mm."

After Seeing Rong Ci nodded politely again, she turned and left.

Not long after Seeing Rong Ci left, a high-end black sedan stopped next to He Zhangbai's car.

Lin Wu thought she had seen wrong.

After getting out and checking the license plate, she confirmed she hadn't seen wrong.

She knocked on He Zhangbai's car door.

The window slowly rolled down, and Lin Wu leaned over to look: "Zhangbai, it really is you."

As she spoke, she added: "Why did you come too?"

He Zhangbai got out of the car: "Dropped off a friend."

At this time, Lin Lihai and Lin Lilan also got out of the car. Upon learning He Zhangbai's identity, they hurriedly greeted him.

He Zhangbai nodded in return: "Uncle, Aunt."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, He Zhangbai received a call. The exhibition time was almost up, so Lin Wu and the others left.

On the other side.

Seeing Rong Ci met up with Yu Moxun and the others at the exhibition entrance.

Yu Moxun leaned over to her ear and whispered: "The teacher will also be attending this exhibition."

Seeing Rong Ci was startled and widened her eyes.

Yu Moxun raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Luckily you found someone to help in time. If the teacher knew you were late, probably..."

Seeing Rong Ci instantly understood what he meant.

Their teacher wouldn't care about the reason for being late.

In his view, being late meant a lack of dedication.

The teacher was already angry enough about Seeing Rong Ci getting married and having a child right after graduating from her undergraduate studies. If he discovered she was late now, just after they had reunited, Seeing Rong Ci couldn't even imagine what kind of look the old man would give her.

Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.

"So, it's a good thing you weren't late."

Seeing Rong Ci also breathed a sigh of relief. ===== CHAPTER 34 =====
