The moment Xi Nanfeng was ordered to get out of the car by Gu Moqian, he stood by the car door, intending to protest with a: "Old Mo, this is just too much—"
But he hadn't had the chance to finish the phrase "too much," when the silver-gray Maybach roared its engine and sped off without the slightest hesitation.
Staring at the car's dust trail rising faintly in the air, Xi Nanfeng stood there, his whole body frozen as though petrified, his face showcasing a wonderfully complex expression.
As the car drove off, Ji Wei remarked, "Actually, Second Young Master Xi showing up last night was quite timely. Otherwise, I would've been discovered by Zhu Ming'an long ago."
"Hmm, I'm not denying his contribution. But making that kind of joke at my expense—absolutely not."
After a pause, Gu Moqian added, "Do you think leaving him stranded by the roadside means he can't find a way back? He's the young master of the Xi Family."
That was true.
