The phone crashed to the ground, still displaying the undialed number. The driver kicked it aside and then shoved Zhan Mingyan into the car before driving off.
Elsewhere
Bai Jue was still waiting for Zhan Mingyan at the Photo Studio.
"Bai Jue, could it be that Mingyan had a change of heart at the last minute and decided not to marry you?" Xiya joked as she fiddled with her camera.
Bai Jue snorted lightly, "That seems more like something you would do."
"It's been more than half an hour now, even with traffic she should have arrived. Call her and see what's up," Xiya said.
Bai Jue took out his phone and called, but no one answered.
He abruptly stood up, frowning deeply.
"What's wrong?" Xiya, noticing his troubled expression, asked.
Bai Jue said in a steady voice, "The call went through, but nobody answered."
"Could it be that Mingyan didn't hear it?"
"I'll check the flower shop."
Having said that, Bai Jue turned and rushed out.
