Shen Shuci had just gotten out of the car upon returning home when she remembered her awkward ride with a member of the Huo Family. After someone interrupted their conversation, the entire car ride had been filled with an unspeakable awkwardness.
She genuinely contemplated: Should I just jump out of the car?
Her hand clenched around her phone as if it were a hot potato.
When she finally endured the ride to her front door, she thanked the driver, exited the car with movements as swift and hurried as if a flood or beast was chasing her.
As soon as she used the fingerprint lock to enter, she was startled to see Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang standing inside, turning pale with fright.
"Why are you two here?"
"I called you at noon wanting to pick you up, but you said it wasn't necessary and told me to buy groceries first. Wasn't that already arranged?" Tang Wan furrowed her brows. "What's wrong with you? You look like you've seen a ghost."
