The window came down slowly, and the man said in a deep voice, “Get in.”

Xu Weilai hesitated for a second before opening the car door and getting into the pa.s.senger seat in front. Before she could even buckle up, Gu Yu floored the gas pedal, and the car sped off.

He didn’t say a word to Xu Weilai, and his handsome face remained cold and hard. His lips were pressed into a hard, thin line, and the energy that emanated from him was oppressive, making Xu Weilai feel very nervous.

The car picked up speed and began weaving through the traffic. Xu Weilai grabbed onto her seatbelt instinctively as her face paled.

After some time, Gu Yu stepped on the brakes, and the car screeched to a halt.

Xu Weilai stroked her chest in a bid to calm her frantic heartbeat and, upon catching her breath, realized that Gu Yu had driven the car to the beach.

Gu Yu did not speak, and neither did Xu Weilai. In the small confined s.p.a.ce of the car, the tension was palpable, and Xu Weilai was beginning to find it hard to breathe.

She looked down and kept quiet for a seconds before nodding her head. “Yes.”

“Huh!”
