Chapter 197: Remember to Bring My Brother’s Card (3)
"Quick, start the car!"
After catching her breath, Mi Jing’s somewhat dazed eyes flickered, and she suddenly noticed that two or three people outside the car were casting inquisitive looks their way! Her pretty face turned hot all of a sudden. With her head lowered, she urged Shen Lingxing, finding the situation immensely embarrassing!
