Chapter 87. Promise (2)
The next day, Xi Xiaye noticed that Mu Yuchen was already not around when she woke up. She did not even feel the slightest of his warmth under the sheets. He must have woken up pretty early.
After cleaning up and going downstairs, she realized it was nearly noon. She had actually slept until that late!
Xi Xiaye placed her hand on her forehead. As she sat down and ate her breakfast, Su Nan called. She quickly grabbed a few bites, then rushed out.
Su Nan’s apartment was located in the east side of the city and Xi Xiaye had to make a big round to get to her. Su Nan and Ruan Heng had probably waited for her for quite some time under the cold rain when she finally arrived.
Ruan Heng was a handsome and gentle-looking man. He seemed like an honest man and he wore a pair of black-framed glasses. Judging by his appearance, he looked like a knowledgeable academic. He was actually a software engineer for a company.
“Been waiting for very long?” Xi Xiaye said apologetically when she saw Su Nan’s ruddy face. “I wanted to take the quick way, but who would’ve thought I’d be stuck in a traffic jam?”
“Luckily, I wore quite a lot today or I’d have frozen to death. The weather was still fine several days ago, but now it just keeps on raining with such chilly weather. Man, I’m not in the mood!” Su Nan complained as she put her umbrella into the trunk, then she got into the car with Ruan Heng.
“Stop complaining. It’s tough enough for Xiaye to come here all the way from the north. Here, wipe the water off.” Ruan Heng looked at Su Nan helplessly before accepting the tissue Xi Xiaye passed.
Su Nan cleaned up her face with the tissue. She scanned around the car and noticed only Xi Xiaye was there, so she asked, “Hey, why is it just you? Isn’t that husband of yours coming?”
