The girl in professional attire walked up to Chen Zan.
Chen Zan said, “I can.”
She smiled and asked, “Do you take driving gigs?”
Chen Zan recognized her. She was someone from Jiang Youwei’s side. A driving job? Didn’t that woman know how to drive herself?
“N-no, I don’t.”
If he took the job, wouldn’t that mean being in the same car as Jiang Youwei? If he got caught again, he would have nowhere left to hide.
The first time, he wasn’t clear-headed.
The second time, Jiang Youwei wasn’t clear-headed.
But if both of them were sober…
Chen Zan couldn’t even imagine that scene.
Maybe Jiang Youwei would lock him in some dark basement and take her revenge…
The girl looked disappointed. “Alright.”
She felt troubled. Did she really have to drive herself? She was scared.
Chen Zan asked one more question, “You don’t know how to drive, or you drank and can’t drive?”
The girl replied a little embarrassed, “I can drive, but I just got my license. It’s too dark at night, I don’t dare to drive.”
People really did have all kinds of strange fears.
Back then, the reason Jiang Youwei refused to learn how to drive was because she was afraid of cars.
She was afraid of the traffic on the road, and even more afraid of the car she would be driving herself.
As Chen Zan drifted into thought, he suddenly sensed a probing gaze directed at him, faint but unmistakable, from Jiang Youwei’s direction.
Probably because her subordinate was here?
Without a word, Chen Zan moved behind one of the building’s pillars, hiding from that gaze that would eventually expose him.
Xiao Nan jogged over to the luxury car and spoke apologetically, “CEO Jiang, there’s no driver available nearby.”
In the back seat, Jiang Youwei rested with her eyes closed. Half of her delicate face was illuminated by the light, while the other half remained hidden in darkness. Her powerful presence made it impossible to ignore her, yet also intimidating to approach.
Xiao Nan waited for her to speak, her heart pounding.
Even though she had followed CEO Jiang since graduation, and despite her boss being a very kind and considerate elder-sister figure, she still felt nervous around her.
“You drive,” the woman said calmly, her voice cool.
Xiao Nan’s eyes darted around anxiously. She was genuinely afraid. She had never driven at night before.
Jiang Youwei opened her eyes, her gaze indifferent as it settled on her.
Xiao Nan felt a chill run through her. That look was terrifying!
“O-okay.”
As she started the car, Jiang Youwei spoke again, her voice carrying a trace of coldness, “People have to learn to grow up. Avoiding things brings no benefit. Difficulties will appear again and again. The only way is to face them head-on. There is no other option.”
Xiao Nan understood, her expression firming, “Yes, I understand, CEO.” Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
The car drove past the grand pillars on either side of the venue.
Chen Zan caught a brief glimpse of Jiang Youwei inside the car.
He flicked away the ash from his nearly finished cigarette.
He couldn’t stop worrying.
Chen Zan got on his electric scooter and followed behind Jiang Youwei’s luxury car.
As he followed, something started to feel off.
This road…
Wasn’t this the road to the rental place he and Jiang Youwei used to live in?
They had spent countless wild days and nights in that place.
Back when they had just gotten together, Chen Zan had forced Jiang Youwei to stay with him whenever she wasn’t in class or at her internship.
She had strong self-respect and refused to move into the villa his family had bought for him.
So Chen Zan stayed with her instead, living in a rented apartment near the university district.
Back then, forgetting about money, they had truly been like an ordinary young couple.
Chen Zan’s heart grew more and more unsettled.
Could it be that he wasn’t the only one who couldn’t let go of the past?
