Yan immediately arched her eyebrows coldly at Little Bean’s remark. “Hey, Do you have to be so realistic? I know that I’m going to get old, but you don’t have to despise me for that. Little Bean, you shouldn’t burn your bridges like this. How dare you criticize my look right after having my braised fish?! Don’t you want me to cook for you again in the future?”
Sensing that his future meals might be compromised, Little Bean immediately changed his tone and said, “Aunt Yan, I was wrong. You’ll be so beautiful even when you are old.”
This worked on Yan, and she nodded in satisfaction.
“Alright, I forgive you. I will make you more braised fish next time.”
However, she failed to notice how Little Bean clutched his chest, looking guilty as if he had gone against his conscience when he said that.
Han Muzi, on the other hand, saw it. She stretched out her hand to squeeze his cheeks as she whispered, “You cheeky boy.”
That night, the three of them packed up and got in a car sent by Han Qing, before heading toward North City.
Yan followed them too since she was Han Muzi’s assistant, although this was beyond her job scope.
Anyway, Yan thought that she would be too lonely to live alone in the apartment here, so she wanted to tag along. Worst came to worst, she would just say that Little Bean liked the food she made, so she was there as their chef.
Yan happily imagined this in her thoughts.
On the other side, Ye Moxuan was also returning to North City.
When Song An sent him off, she said, “Are you sure you don’t want to stay for a few more days? It’s such a long commute and you’re only here for two days.”
When Ye Moxuan heard that, he looked at her, displeased.
“I’ve got work to do.”
“Is work more important than your aunt? What an unfilial child! Just go then! Drive carefully.”
“Ok.”
“Geez, young people like you won’t listen to me. Driving at night can be dangerous with limited visibility, but you can’t even wait until tomorrow morning to leave.”
Ye Moxuan pursed his lips and went straight into the car, ignoring Song An’s sarcastic comment.
After a while, he said coldly, “There’s no traffic jam at night. It’s going to be a smooth ride.”
“Bye.”
Song An stood there, watching the car leave her sight. The street light cast a long shadow on her figure, and the night breeze blew her silk scarf over her shoulders.
She heaved a sigh. I wonder how long it will take for Moxuan to truly open his heart to another woman.
Shen Qi…
This name had disappeared in his life for five years and would never appear again.
Song An didn’t know where Shen Qi went, but she liked the girl very much. Unfortunately, Ye Moxuan and Shen Qi were not meant to be together.
Forget it, let nature take its course.
At her age, she didn’t have the energy to mind anyone’s business anymore.
Thinking of this, Song An rewrapped the silk scarf on her shoulder and turned around to go upstairs.
Initially, Ye Moxuan assumed it would be a smooth drive at night, however, an explosion occurred on the highway at midnight, completely blocking the road ahead.
The car Han Muzi was in was quite a distance away from the blast so they had only heard the explosive noise, but soon after, the cars in front of them stopped. Yan, who was leaning back on the seat sleeping, woke up suddenly when she heard the abrupt explosion.
Then, Han Muzi saw a burst of flames in front of them. The scene was particularly shocking that she intuitively reached out and hugged Little Bean who was sitting next to her.
“Damn, what happened?” Yan lowered the car window and poked her head out, feeling frightened when she saw the flames in front.
“My God, what is happening?” She immediately retracted her head and looked at Han Muzi. “Muzi, should we leave the car? It seems to be dangerous here. ”
The flame was not too far away from them. With a turn of her head, Han Muzi saw a fleet of cars behind them and felt that it was not a safe option to stay in the car. So, she nodded and said in a low voice, “Mr. Nan, roll the windows up and lock them. We’re getting out.”
Mr. Nan turned off the engine and nodded.
After they got out of the car, the passengers in the cars behind them followed suit after seeing them do so.
Humans always had an instinct to avoid danger, and everyone would usually cherish their lives unless they had other ideas in mind.
In no time, many people stood on the highway.
“Get back and try to stay away from the explosion.”
Everyone followed the crowd and walked further away; more and more people gathered on the highway.
Soon, the sirens of the police car resonated.
The police rushed to the scene to check on the situation before announcing to everyone, “Ladies and gentlemen, don’t worry. The car in front exploded, and we have already set up a blockade at the explosion site. We are handling it as soon as possible, but I’m sorry to say, the road ahead is temporarily blocked.”
Yan held Han Muzi’s arm and said morosely, “What’s the matter? Why did the car explode all of a sudden? Did they have inflammable items in the car?”
“There are many reasons for the explosion. We don’t know the situation, so, for the time being, let’s just wait for a while.”
Many cars stopped on the road, while the passengers got out of their cars and waited by the roadside. Ye Moxuan was also driving on the same road and heard the explosion as well. Soon, he saw people gathering on the highway beside him.
He took out his phone and glanced at the time impassively. He had just got on the highway, yet such an accident happened, and he was blocked by a bunch of cars behind him.
He didn’t know how long it would take to evacuate the crowd. Starting to feel stuffy inside the car, he massaged his faintly aching temples before getting out of the car to get some fresh air.
In the dark, the masculine figure of a man walked out of the car with a pair of slender and straight legs, walking steadily. Instead of walking toward the crowd, he walked to the other side of the highway and looked at the scenery from the distance.
He immediately stood out from the crowd.
“Wow, look at a handsome man over there!” a girl in the crowd exclaimed after spotting Ye Moxuan.
With that, everyone immediately looked over.
“You can only see his back. How do you know that he is handsome?”
“I saw his face when he got out of the car! His facial features are very prominent. Not only is he good-looking, but his body proportion is also great!”
“Come on, honey. Your husband—ahem me—is standing right here. Is my body not good enough for you?”
“Tsk, I can tell that man has six-packs at a glance! You only have fat on your stomach!”
“You can’t say this to me…”
Han Muzi and Yan overheard their entire conversations and exchanged glances. Then, Yan leaned in and said quietly, “I’m really stumped. At such a dangerous juncture, they are still in the mood to look at handsome guys.”
Hearing that, Han Muzi smirked. “People are always interested in beautiful things. Besides, it’s not really a matter of life-or-death yet anyway.”
“You’re right, but it’s such an unlucky day today. Had I known, I wouldn’t have listened to your brother. We should have gone back tomorrow as we planned.”
“Never mind.” Han Muzi squatted down and looked at Little Bean. “Are you tired? Do you want me to carry you?”
