Chapter 221 - You did the right thing my little wife. (2/2)
But she could feel that he already knew about it from the coldness of his voice.
He hesitantly said, ” Erm.. No. He was busy so I took a taxi to the Mansion. But don't worry, there won't be any problem.” she said lightly.
Liwei was looking at the picture of Jin Liang with the director and producer with whom he went outside earlier and frowned when he heard Xie Ming's words.
He had asked her to pick her up from the Global World but he didn't do as he had told him.
After she woke up from the coma, he became overprotective about her. He doesn't want her to go away from his gaze.
Xie Ming was feeling uncomfortable with his silence and said hurriedly, ” He was busy so I was the one who asked him to not come and that I will take a taxi. It's not his fault.”
She was talking on the phone with her head hung down and didn't notice the turn that her car has taken.
” Don't take his side. He was just trying to brush his responsibility off,” he said with a heavy voice.
He was visibly angered at Jin Liang but didn't say much because Xie Ming.
Xie Ming sighed when she heard her words.
” Do you take me as a kid? I can take… ” she was talking to Liwei but stopped when she looked outside the window. She was going to say that she can take care of herself but the words didn't make their way to her mouth.
All this while she didn't notice where the driver was driving her.
Her words stuck in her throat when she saw the isolated area with the old construction building in front of her eyes.
The place was very quiet and secluded. There are only buildings which were in construction or have been abandoned and nobody seemed to be around there.
When she was in Jin Liang's car, she has seen her surroundings outside the car and there was no building that was in construction on their way.
Her body trembled when she felt a cold shiver through her spine.
She cautiously raised her head to look at the driver, who was wearing a cap that has hidden his face.
But suddenly the driver raised his head and looked at Xie Ming through the mirror which made her startle in horror.
When his mysterious dark eyes met with Xie Ming's shocked gaze, his lips curled up in a smile that was scary and mysterious.
The driver had a burn mark on his face which makes him look more vicious and dangerous.
His dark piercing eyes made a shiver ran in her spine. She tightened her grip on the phone as she stuttered, ” Where are we? This is not the way to Southern Avenue. Where are you taking me?” she questioned him in a stern voice.
Her whole body became cold as she shivered in fear because the eyes of the driver were mysterious and dangerous.
Liwei, on the other hand, was drinking his coffee froze in his actions when he tried to listen to her words because the network was wavering at this moment,” Xie Ming. Hello. What happened? Are you still there?” he questioned when she suddenly stopped talking.
But when he heard her voice again, his face darkened when he heard her words. He could hear her trembling voice when she was talking to the driver.
His eyes became sharp as he suddenly stood up from his chair and went outside his office with the phone near his ears.
*Southern Avenue is the name of the street where Jin Mansion was located.*
