Chapter 480 - Uncle Li? (1/2)

Xie Ming slept peacefully during the whole journey. After a while when she woke up, she opened her eyes while fluttering her eyelashes slowly.

She stretched her hand as she felt sore all over her body.

” You woke up? ” Su Jin asked when she noticed some moments beside her.

” Hmm” Xie Ming hummed in daze.

However, her eyes widened in shock when she looked out of the window.

' Why are there mountains? There were no mountains or streams in Xie city? '

She hurriedly looked at the time and realized that she was sleeping for more than three hours.

” Su Jin, where are we going? Where are we exactly? Isn't your grandfather's clinic in Xia city?” Xie Ming was in a state of panic because she just only slept for a while and found that she was out of the city.

” Oh, didn't I tell you about it? My grandfather used to stay at Xia city before but it's been a few years since he moved to the countryside and opened his Chinese medicine clinic there.” She said coolly.

” However, it's not that far from Xia city. See, we're almost there. It would have taken us less time if there was not traffic.”

Xie Ming's face fell when she heard Su Jin's words. She took her so far and that too without telling her beforehand?

' it's not that far?'

In exasperation she slapped her forehead with her palm. ” Why didn't you tell me about that earlier? You should have at least told me that we're going so far.”

Su Jin blinked her eyes and asked, ” Is it far?”

She never realised that it's far because she comes every week or whenever she gets a day off. She was used to traveling this much so she has no idea that for normal people it is far.

Xie Ming: ”-_-”

Xie Ming sighed and looked at her phone. There were almost twenty missed calls from Liwei and messages.

She realized that her phone was on silent.

”Liwei?” She called him back and when he picked it up, she called his name in a low voice.

Liwei pursed his lips and asked,” Why are you calling? Shouldn't you sleep some more? After all, you're going on a date with your best friend.” He sneered sarcastically as soon as he picked up her call.

She pursed her lips and asked, ” How did you know that I was sleeping?”

” I asked Doctor Lu for Doctor Su Jin's when I couldn't reach you. She told me that you were sleeping. ”

” Xie Ming, why didn't you tell me you're going to the countryside? How can you go there without informing me? You know how scared I was when you didn't pick up my call.” Xie Ming could sense how worried he was.

She sighed and said, ” I didn't know either that we were going to the countryside.”

” Hm? You didn't know about that?”

” I'll tell you later about it. For now, you don't need to worry about me. I will be back by tonight.”

Liwei didn't answer her and hung up the phone.

Xie Ming stared at the phone and pursed her lips. She can feel that he is angry at her for not informing him beforehand.

She sighed and turned to look at the scenery outside.

….

After driving for about 20 more minutes, when they reached their destination, Su Jin led her inside the house turned clinic.

Xie Ming looked around the place which was neat and clean. She could smell the distinctive smell of the Chinese medicine.
