Ning Wei was shocked to hear Feng An Yu's words.
It was just a fleeting second. She did not think that this man would notice the change in her expression.
The tall man was really observant, wasn't he?
Ning Wei stayed silent, wondering if she should continue to pretend. Looking into Feng An Yu's eyes, she realized that continuing to pretend would not bring her any benefit.
Ning Wei did not know how, but this man already knew that she recognized him.
Pretending would only waste both of their time.
As the thought came to her mind, Ning Wei flashed a smile. "Sir, I didn't mean to pretend as if I did not recognize you," Ning Wei said. "It's just that… I did not expect to see you here." She looked at Feng An Yu with an inquiring gaze. "Sir, can I help you? Are you looking for someone?"
Feng An Yu did not speak. He stared at Ning Wei as if wanting to see if the person in front of him was trying to pull some tricks.
"If there's nothing, then, can I ask you to let me go?" Ning Wei glanced at the arm that Feng An Yu was holding. "I am in a hurry. There is another place I have to go."
Feng An Yu followed Ning Wei's line of gaze and frowned when he saw that he was still holding the young man's arm. The frown on his face deepened as he retracted his gaze. Feng An Yu seemed to realize that Ning Wei's arms were too thin.
Ning Wei breathed in relief as soon as Feng An Yu released her arm. She gave Feng An Yu one more look before turning around to leave.
"Wait."
Feng An Yu's voice made Ning Wei stop again.
"I need to talk to you."
Ning Wei heaved an exasperated sigh. "Look. I am really in a hurry. If I don't go now, I'll be late. My driver is going to be here soon." Ning Wei pulled her mask from her pocket and regretted that she had not put it on sooner.
"Where are you going?" Feng An Yu asked.
"The workshop. I'm going to fetch my baby." Ning Wei did not know why she was explaining this to this strange man.
Wherever she was going, it was not his business.
"I'll give you a lift," Feng An Yu offered. "You won't be late." Seeing that Ning Wei was staring at him without a reaction, Feng An Yu once again grabbed Ning Wei's arm and dragged her to his car. "Get in."
Ning Wei snapped out of her trance and pulled her arms away from Feng An Yu.
This time, it was easier as Feng An Yu was not holding her arm so tightly.
"Don't worry, I am not going to kidnap you. I just wanted to talk to you. We can talk while I send you wherever you are going," Feng An Yu said. He pursed his lips, seeing that the young man did not move. "Didn't you say that you are in a hurry?"
Just in time, the phone in Ning Wei's pocket beeped.
Ning Wei pulled it out only to see a notification from an app, telling her that her driver would be late as there was traffic ahead.
Ning Wei glanced at the time and realized that she needed to leave now if she wanted to talk to her mechanic.
That person already told her that he needed to leave for another matter soon.
"Alright then," Ning Wei said to Feng An Yu. "I'll go with you." She lowered her head to tap a few words on her phone.
She was going into the car with a stranger. She needed to tell someone to keep an eye on her.
"We can talk," Ning Wei said. "But sir, if my friend did not hear from me in thirty minutes, he would call the police."
Feng An Yu froze. Slowly, his lips curled into a smile, and a chuckle escaped him.
He did not expect that Ning Wei would be very cautious of him.
"Alright," Feng An Yu said with a shrug. "Do you need my name or my identification card?"
"No need." The corner of Ning Wei's lips started to twitch.
Feng An Yu nodded towards the back seat, motioning Ning Wei to come in. He waited for Ning Wei to scoot in first before sliding in next to him.
Assistant Xiao Jin sat up straight when he saw another person entering the car. He could not hide his surprise when he recognized Ning Wei's face.
He did not expect that the young celebrity would follow his boss.
At this moment, Assistant Xiao Jin was convinced that Ning Wei had his own agenda when he lent a hand to his boss.
"Where are we going?"
Assistant Xiao Jin was going to answer when he realized that his boss was not speaking to him.
Ning Wei reported the name of the workshop along with the address.
"You heard him," Feng An Yu said to his assistant. "Take us there."
"Yes, Mr. Feng." Assistant Xiao Jin nodded. He turned the ignition and drove away.
Ning Wei looked out the window before turning to Feng An Yu again. "Since you showed up at my apartment, I assumed that you had your reason. Do you know me?"
Feng An Yu leaned on his seat as he gave Ning Wei a look over. "I know." Feng An Yu nodded. "Ning Wei, the youngest member of an idol group called DAWN."
The smile on Ning Wei's lips stiffened. Her heartbeat accelerated.
Feng An Yu's words made her realize that this man had investigated her a little bit before he came to look for her.
Ning Wei began to worry.
He did not know how much Feng An Yu knew about her.
Ning Wei lowered her gaze.
Feng An Yu's eyes were too sharp. She did not like the probe in his gaze.
Before she found the answer to her questions, she had to protect her secret.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Wei reminded herself to be careful around someone like Feng An Yu.
"Mister, why are you looking for me?" Ning Wei asked.
