Chapter 1368. Dead End 3
The husband and wife were laughing all the way as they made their way quickly to the Western suburbs. They did not bring along bodyguards, so it was just the two of them.When the car slowly approached the Western suburbs, it was exactly 11 p.m. It was quiet all around while the rain silently pattered. The dim light from the streetlights fell on their faces through the car windows.
Xi Xiaye slowed the car down as Mu Yuchen looked ahead. After a while, the car parked steadily by the roadside.
“He’s already waiting there.”
At the sound of Mu Yuchen’s voice, Xi Xiaye followed his gaze and looked over too. Soon, she saw a figure standing by the pastureland railings. She then said, “It’s him.”
Then, she quickly turned off the headlights while Mu Yuchen took an umbrella to get down from the car. Xi Xiaye locked the car up and followed him from behind.
“Put this on.” Upon seeing that she trembled involuntarily, he considerately put the coat on his shoulders onto hers instead.
“I’m alright. Let’s go!” Xi Xiaye reached out to thread her arm through his and adjust the coat on her shoulders before picking up her pace and walking forward.
The wind was quite cold, especially at midnight. It was Christmas eve tomorrow, and it seemed to be colder than usual at this time of the year.
By the railings, the wind seemed even more bone-chillingly cold, yet it cleared any semblance of unfocused thoughts and replaced it with a clear-headed clarity.
