The heavy raindrops struck the glass-pane windows.
Driver Chen drove slowly. In this heavy rain, visibility was poor, so he was extra careful. Besides…
He glanced at his passenger in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
Bei Sangyun was gazing blankly out the window. Her face was expressionless, but he could tell something was wrong.
Usually, the Young Miss would be all smiles, in the highest of spirits after meeting Fei Chuan. But today, she had returned with a stoic expression. Though she showed no emotion, Driver Chen could sense the desolation and sadness seeping from her.
Breaking the silence, he cautiously asked, "…Are we heading straight to the villa, Young Miss?"
Bei Sangyun snapped out of her thoughts. "I…" Her voice was hoarse, and she coughed lightly, trying to sound normal. "...Can you drive to City A?"
Driver Chen nodded. "Yes." Although the weather was bad, he was confident he could drive safely.
