49 Following him
Mu Yuexin sat down at her designated place and thought of searching for some online rental place.
Before she wanted to save up the huge amount she got from signing the agreement however it's no longer an option as staying in the Li family wasn't possible anymore after what Li Yi's mother told her.
She went to a well known website and searched for any suitable place for one person. However, after she searched for a long time she didn't find any place that suits her taste or had all kinds of facilities available.
"Yah! What am I even supposed to do with a 5 bedroom apartment?! Where are the ones for one or two people!" Mu Yuexin shouted in anger and banged her fist on her desk.
She couldn't believe 4 hours of searching would come to bear no fruit. Most landlords required married people and there were so many conditions, she felt like dying.
When she glanced at the time she was shocked to find that it was already past 6 am. The futile search made her depressed.
"Wo Lin, can he help? Why don't I just try?" Mu Yuexin murmured and looked at her phone.
She had already exchanged contact with him and early in the morning, she didn't even feel guilty as she sent him a message.
[Wo Lin, are you awake?] - Mu Yuexin
[Hmm. Good morning!] - Wo Lin
[Haha! Good morning! Good morning!] - Mu Yuexin
[Smilingpanda.emote] - Wo Lin
[Can you help me? I need a place to live, urgently! For one person only. I can't find any suitable ones! cryingbaby.jpg]
[... Yuexin, actually, I have a vacant room in the apartment I live in… Do you want to… cough!] - Wo Lin
[I am in! Just let me stay for a few days! I won't trouble you with anything! I am a good girl!]- Mu Yuexin
[Haha! Alright!] - Wo Lin
Mu Yuexin clutched the mobile tightly with a bright smile after she finally got a place to live.
Even though she felt weird for staying in a man's apartment, she thought, 'Wo Lin looks kind. It should be alright to stay some nights!'
As Mu Yuexin thought, the door to the office room suddenly opened from outside. Ethan Han paused when he saw her. But what shocked him was that she was in a home-friendly dress.
The long yellow dress that she was wearing had many colourful little flowers and in no way that was suitable to wear inside a company, especially for an employee.
Feeling his stare on her body, Mu Yuexin smiled awkwardly. 'I left the villa in the heat of anger and didn't even carry my things. It is so embarrassing…'
She looked at Ethan Han, stood up and bowed just a little, "Good morning, sir. Should I make your coffee?"
However, Ethan Han noticed the vague dark circles under her eyes and walked towards her. He grabbed her chin and whispered, "Are you on drugs?"
"Eh?!" Mu Yuexin was baffled.
"You look like someone on drugs…" Ethan Han examined her face carefully. Feeling his hot breath on her face, Mu Yuexin blushed and freed her chin from his clutch.
"What are you saying, sir?! What drugs?! I just… didn't get to sleep." Mu Yuexin fiddled with her fingers and answered.
"Oh~" Ethan Han murmured and then went to his own desk. He took out a file and walked towards the door.
As Mu Yuexin's eyes followed his every step, he suddenly stopped and looked at her, "You can take the day off today. I am leaving for another city."
"Alright, please be careful on the way." Mu Yuexin replied.
Her face lit up instantly after she knew he was leaving and so there would not be anything for her to do in the office.
'I can finally catch up with my sleep~ I miss my pillow… that's in Li Yi's room…' As she thought, she chided herself again for leaving just like that.
Ethan Han left the company early in the morning. Mu Yuexin also walked out after him and intended to go to the Li family to collect her things when she thought of something.
'Leaving for another city… it looks like something worth reporting!' Mu Yuexin's eyes lit up as she hurriedly opened Han Fan's chat box.
[He is leaving for another city and won't come back today] - Mu Yuexin
[What should I do?!] - Mu Yuexin
…
Ding!
Being disturbed in sleep, Han Fan expected that least early in the morning.
He turned on the bed lamps and checked his phone, only to see her message that was worthless to him.
"This girl, really…" He left the bed while texting her in an unkempt appearance.
[It looks important. Follow him closely…] - Han Fan
[Report the expenses to me later. We will cover it.] - Han Fan
[thumbsup.emoji] - Mu Yuexin
…
Mu Yuexin watched Ethan Han entering a black car while someone seemed to be in the driver's seat. She sneaked behind the car and tried to lift the trunk lid.
'According to the movies and dramas, people can follow anyone and stick with them by hiding in the trunk!' She thought and crept into the trunk.
"Start the car." Ethan told Van Alroy and then closed all the windows.
The next moment, Mu Yuexin's whole body jerked up and shook as the car drove on the road.
'Was a good decision?!' Mu Yuexin wondered about her entering this trunk; however, in the next few hours, she got to experience the gravity of her decision.
"Ouch!"
"Ah!"
"Why are they so reckless?!"
"Are their driver's licence fake?!"
Mu Yuexin thought painfully. She didn't know where the car was going but she was sure that it was not on the concrete roads of the city.
Now and then the car would rise and fall and she realised the car must be driving on a crude path. Her body bumped against the interior of the trunk and she was scared to get thrown out of the trunk because the lid was unlocked!
