"I'll be there to support you when the time comes." Bai Jue patted her shoulder reassuringly, speaking with a masculine confidence.
Zhan Mingyan smiled in response, her eyes growing a bit sore.
Damn Bai Jue, you are the biggest fool in the world.
If you don't want me, I don't want you either.
"Bai Jue, take me home, please. It's too cold out." Her smile faded as she spoke.
Perhaps he preferred the women at Dihao.
Bai Jue took a look at her thin dress, reached out to pick up the coat tossed in the back seat, and handed it to her.
"Wear this for now, you don't want to catch a cold."
Zhan Mingyan looked down at the coat in her arms, a white coat that subtly carried the same scent he wore.
"Put it on quickly." Bai Jue urged as he started the car.
Zhan Mingyan managed a smile and draped the coat over her body.
Their ride home was filled with unending silence.
As night fell, the city lights flickered.
