Chapter 242 An Accident Occurred

It started raining early in the morning on the day the show was being filmed.

I thought the rain would lessen, but after the recording of the show was completed and the final wrap-up work was finished, it turned out to be raining much worse.

Just as Yu Li was getting ready to go home, she received a message from Qi Chenyan.

The male guest who's interested in her: [Lili, it's raining quite heavily tonight, and I can't leave right now. It's too dangerous for you to drive in the rain at night. Can I have my driver pick you up and take you home?]

Yu Li glanced at the rain outside, which seemed to have subsided somewhat. She figured she could get home on her own, so she told Qi Chenyan not to bother the driver to make a special trip. She just needed to drive slowly and be careful.

Qi Chenyan didn't insist, but told her to let him know she was safe when she got home.

Just as we were finishing our chat, Jiang Donglin walked over.

“Miss Yu, I see it’s raining quite heavily outside. How about I take you home? It’s not safe for a girl like you to walk home alone in the rain.”

Yu Li smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, don't underestimate the potential of girls. But thank you for your kindness. You've worked hard today, and I'm very grateful for your cooperation. I hope we can have another pleasant collaboration next time."

"I see the rain has lessened quite a bit. Mr. Jiang, you should go back and rest early. Goodbye."

Before Jiang Donglin even had a chance to say goodbye to Yu Li, she had already gotten up and left.

Jiang Donglin had the impression that although she said she hoped for another collaboration, it was just a casual remark, and there was a high chance that there wouldn't be a next time.

It was clear that among all the women he had his eye on and wanted a casual fling with, Yu Li was the least proactive and showed absolutely no interest in him.

But deep down, every man probably has a wicked streak.

The more unattainable something is, the more restless it becomes.

Although Yu Li rejected his invitations several times, it was unclear whether she understood the hidden meaning or was simply oblivious.

But Jiang Donglin's interest in Yu Li only grew stronger.

So even though Yu Li refused, after getting into the car, he told the driver, "Follow the car in front."

The driver hesitated, then said, "Mr. Jiang, isn't it inappropriate to follow a girl?"

"What are you thinking? Of course I'm not following her. It's just that it's raining heavily today and it's nighttime, so visibility is low. I'm worried that something might happen to her if she goes home alone at night. After I get her home safely, we'll go back to the hotel."

Although Jiang Donglin had a history of romantic entanglements, he was always very considerate and attentive to each of his previous fleeting relationships.

Besides, this is something he hasn't even gotten yet.

Not only did they not receive anything, they didn't even get the slightest physical contact or hint.

Even so, Jiang Donglin showed a remarkable resilience, attempting to impress the other party with his thoughtfulness and attentiveness, hoping to win them over.

Upon hearing this, the driver breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, you are truly a kind-hearted and good man."

The journey was going smoothly until we reached a section of road where the streetlights on both sides were broken and had not yet been repaired, leaving the roadside completely dark.

Yu Li turned on the high beams and slowed down the car a bit.

Suddenly, accompanied by a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, a dark figure darted out from in front of them.

She jumped in front of the car, letting out a piercing meow, and Yu Li instinctively turned the steering wheel.

But in a moment of panic, he mistakenly pressed the accelerator instead of the brake.

With a bang, the front of the car crashed into the pedestrian crossing next to it.

Although Yu Li released the brakes in time, the impact still caused her body to instinctively lurch forward.

The front of the car was deformed instantly due to the impact. In that instant, Yu Li only felt a ringing in her ears and her vision went black.

She instinctively covered her lower abdomen with both hands immediately.

Because of the collision, the airbags were deployed, which reduced the impact to some extent.

After Yu Li recovered, she wanted to get out of the car before calling the police, but she was unlucky enough to find that her right foot was stuck and she couldn't pull it out no matter what she did.

Moreover, I could hear sounds coming from what seemed to be a car, like it was about to explode.

Yu Li's mental fortitude wasn't that strong; after driving for so many years, this was the first time she'd encountered an accident.

In addition, she is currently pregnant, which makes her more sensitive, so she panicked a bit.

But she forced herself to calm down and dialed the police first.

They clearly stated their location and their current situation of being stuck inside the car and unable to escape on their own.

When the police were told they would arrive within half an hour, Yu Li called Qi Chenyan again.

In the past, if Yu Li encountered any problems, she would either bear them herself or call on her best friend.

But right now, perhaps it's because Qi Chenyan always tells her that they are husband and wife, and that she should call him immediately if anything happens to her.

Or perhaps, after spending so much time together, Yu Li had developed an invisible dependence and trust in Qi Chenyan.

The first person that popped into my mind after the accident was him.

However, Qi Chenyan was probably still busy. Just when Yu Li thought she couldn't get through and was about to call her best friend, the call was finally answered.

"Lili, are you home yet?"

On the other end of the phone, there was Qi Chenyan's clear and gentle voice, along with a noisy background.

When she called the police, Yu Li tried her best to hide her panic, but when she heard Qi Chenyan's voice, she couldn't control her emotions.

With a trembling voice, she said, "Qi Chenyan, I... I had a little accident. The car crashed, and my foot got stuck. I can't get it out by myself. The car keeps making noises, and I'm afraid... afraid it will explode prematurely."

"Lili, don't be afraid, I'm coming right now. Have you called the police? If your foot is stuck and you can't move, don't move it to avoid further injury."

"Where are you located? Are there any other people around? How badly was the front of the car damaged in the collision?"

Yu Li heard a whistling sound coming from the other end of the phone. Qi Chenyan's tone was no longer as steady as usual, but rather panting, indicating that he was likely running.

He told his staff that something had happened at home and he needed to leave first, while instructing his secretary to drive the car downstairs immediately, all the while maintaining a phone call with Yu Li.

Yu Li told him about her situation, and Qi Chenyan kept reassuring her: "I'll be there soon, it'll be quick. It's okay, Li Li. Judging from the extent of the damage to the front of the car you described, the car shouldn't have exploded."

"The noise you heard probably means the car's engine was damaged in the crash. It's just a minor problem, don't worry, I'm here, I'll always be here."
