Chapter 33 Where are you going? I'll take you there

The next day, after waking up and having breakfast, Rong Ci went to work as usual.

At noon, while she was having lunch, Feng Jingxin called. This was the first time Feng Jingxin had called her since she secretly slipped away from the hot spring resort.

Rong Ci answered the phone.

"Mom..."

"Yeah," Rong Ci responded and then asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Just finished!"

That morning at the hot spring resort, she received a call from Aunt Wu Wu, who said that Dad was out playing with her and asked if she wanted to join them.

She immediately agreed. And while Rong Ci wasn't paying attention, she secretly slipped away.

They had a great time and didn't return to the city until yesterday afternoon. But they didn't go home last night.

This morning, when she got back to school, she thought of Rong Ci and felt a bit guilty. Worried that Rong Ci might be angry, she called her.

However, hearing that her mother took the initiative to ask if she had eaten, it seemed that Rong Ci wasn't angry because she had secretly left that day. She felt relieved.

She knew that her mother definitely couldn't bear to be angry with her!

However, these days, she also noticed that her mother wouldn't call her every day like before, nor would she always ask about her whereabouts.

She thought it was quite nice that her mother had changed like this.

She liked this change in her mother!

In this way, she would have much more freedom to do whatever she wanted!

Indeed, Rong Ci didn't ask about their whereabouts in the past two days.

Because she wasn't interested.

After chatting with Feng Jingxin about her studies for a while, Rong Ci hung up the phone.

Back in the office, Yu Moxun came over and asked her, "The technology exhibition is tomorrow. Shall we gather at the company and set off together?"

Rong Ci replied, "Sure."

The next morning, not long after Rong Ci drove out, her car suddenly broke down. Then a car from behind crashed into it, triggering a series of traffic accidents.

A bunch of drivers behind were cursing.

The car couldn't be moved and was blocking the traffic.

After apologizing to the drivers of the cars behind, Rong Ci immediately called the emergency number and waited for the rescue workers to arrive.

However, dealing with this matter took a lot of time, and she was in a hurry to attend the exhibition—

"Your car broke down?"

At this moment, a tall and straight figure walked over from the sidewalk on the other side.

Rong Ci looked up.

He Changbai.

Why was it him?

She responded with a faint "Yeah" and didn't really want to talk to him. First, she called Yu Moxun and informed him of her situation. Then she told them to set off first and not wait for her. She would go there after she had dealt with the situation.

"Handling this kind of traffic accident can be quite troublesome."

By the time she finished dealing with it and arrived, the exhibition would probably already be over.

Yu Moxun said, "Wait a moment. I'll contact someone to help you. But it will probably be half an hour or more before they can reach you."

"It's okay. I can enter the exhibition later."

As long as she didn't miss the exhibition.

After hanging up the phone, just as Rong Ci was about to communicate with the drivers of the cars behind, He Changbai suddenly said, "I'll have someone help you deal with the situation here. Where do you need to go? I'll give you a ride."

Rong Ci was stunned and looked up at him.

Five minutes later, Rong Ci got into He Changbai's car.

The two of them sat in the back seat, with a distance between them. But Rong Ci still felt a bit awkward.

"Thank you."

"It's no big deal."

No big deal...

Rong Ci frowned.

In the past, He Changbai basically ignored her.

The encounter at the race track before was also quite unpleasant.

Although He Changbai took the initiative to greet her last time they met, but—

He Changbai was very busy. After getting in the car, he made several phone calls in a row.

This made Rong Ci feel relieved.

They weren't familiar with each other, and she was quite uncomfortable being in such a narrow space together.

More than forty minutes later, the car arrived at the entrance of the technology exhibition.

Rong Ci got out of the car and finally said politely to He Changbai, "Thank you."

He Changbai replied, "Yeah."

After nodding politely again, Rong Ci turned and left.

Shortly after Rong Ci left, a black luxury car stopped next to He Changbai's car.

Lin Wu thought she was seeing things.

After getting out of the car and checking the license plate, she was sure that she wasn't mistaken.

She knocked on the car door of He Changbai.

The car window slowly rolled down, and Lin Wu bent down to look inside and said, "Changbai, it's really you."

Then she added, "Why are you here too?"

He Changbai got out of the car and said, "I'm here to drop off a friend."

At this time, Lin Lihai and Lin Lilan also got out of the car. After learning He Changbai's identity, they quickly greeted him.

He Changbai nodded in return and said, "Uncle, Aunt."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, He Changbai received a call. Since the exhibition was about to start, Lin Wu and the others left.

On the other side.

Rong Ci met up with Yu Moxun and the others at the entrance of the exhibition.

Yu Moxun leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Our teacher will also attend this exhibition."

Rong Ci was startled and her eyes widened.

Yu Moxun raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Fortunately, you found someone to help in time. If the teacher knew you were late, probably..."

Rong Ci immediately understood what he meant.

Their teacher didn't care about the reasons for being late.

In his opinion, being late meant not being dedicated.

The teacher was already angry enough that Rong Ci got married and had a child right after graduating from undergraduate. If, just after their reunion, the old man found out that she was late, Rong Ci simply couldn't imagine what kind of look the teacher would give her.

Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.

"So, it's lucky that you're not late."

Rong Ci also heaved a sigh of relief.
