Shang Jing rerouted their path and said to Wen Zhi, "I have some very important matters to attend to, so I can't take you back to the old house. After we enter the city, you pick a spot to get off, and I'll arrange for another car to pick you up."
Wen Zhi insisted, "You can't enter Baixi Manor."
Shang Jing didn't want to elaborate, "Whether I can enter or not isn't for you to decide; I have my ways."
His implication was clear, without further disclosure.
Wen Zhi pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose, "Oh."
That 'oh' was light and airy, making Shang Jing's throat inexplicably itchy.
However, plans never keep up with changes. As they drove toward the city, they encountered a sudden traffic control on the overpass. Some special vehicles were not allowed on the overpass, and the traffic police were directing under the scorching sun.
