Suddenly, Xiong Mei interrupted their conversation urgently, "Stop the car!"
Bai Wenling looked at her with confusion but promptly pulled the car over to the side of the road.
"Huh?" she questioned, her brow furrowed in confusion.
Xiong Mei hesitated for a moment before blurting out, "I-It's nothing, I forgot my handbag. Just leave me here, I'll go back and get it."
"It's not a problem, I can turn the car around," Bai Wenling offered, ready to accommodate her friend's request.
Xiong Mei swiftly shook her head. "No need, I can manage on my own," she insisted firmly.
"Hmm?" Both Bai Wenling and Xie Meirong exchanged puzzled glances as Xiong Mei stepped out of the car, wrapping a scarf around her shoulders to ward off the cold.
She signaled a passing taxi and quickly got in, leaving Bai Wenling and Xie Meirong wondering about her sudden urgency.
Bai Wenling let out a sigh as she started the car. "She's definitely acting strange."
