The car was travelling on the highway.
The passing streetlights shone into the car through the windows, casting a flickering glow.
Xu Mushen nodded, his gaze fixed on the girl.
Her expression was as unpredictable as the shifting light.
After a moment, she spoke, "Can you accompany me to a place?"
Xu Mushen nodded.
Xu Qiaoqiao then gave an address.
It was in a different direction from the Xu family residence, so the driver made a U-turn ahead.

Meanwhile.
Inside a French restaurant.
Yang Leman, meticulously dressed, sat in a private room, nervously looking at the menu and giving detailed orders to the waiter - much like she was going on a blind date.
Once she had made her instructions clear, the waiter left.
She then checked the time.
It was already seven in the evening.
Usually, Xu Mushen finished work at five-thirty, so he certainly should have made it by now.
Was he...working overtime?
Even so, he should have notified her.
