Gu Ye rolled down the car window before pressing the answer button.

The flow of fresh air made Gu Ye feel a little more relaxed.

As soon as the call connected, Gu said affectionately, "Wife, you're still awake?"

Yu Sheng was nervous, but she tried her best to appear calm: "I was just about to go to sleep."

Gu also smiled and said, "Want to make a goodnight call to my husband?"

Yu Sheng glanced at her earring through the rearview mirror and said, "I just realized one of my earrings is missing. I was wondering if it fell into your car?"

"Uncle Zhang drove the car away. Wait a moment, I'll ask him."

As Gu Ye was saying these words, Yu Sheng heard a car horn honking from his direction. She took the opportunity to ask, "Aren't you home?"

A flicker of panic crossed Gu Ye's eyes. After Yu Sheng saw through his lie about going to Duan Huaisheng for drinks last time, he was afraid to lie again, so he didn't lie.

"My hands suddenly felt a little itchy, so I went for a couple of laps around Xishan."

He was telling the truth, but he was hiding it from Jiang Jiang once again.

Gu also likes racing, which Yu Sheng knows. She always thought racing was too dangerous and advised him not to do it. Now that there is a woman to race with him, he must be very happy, right?

Seeing that Yu Sheng didn't speak, Gu Ye assumed she was angry and asked as if he had done something wrong, "Wife, are you angry?"

"No, I'll run a few laps and then go back. Be careful. Don't call Uncle Zhang. He'll give it to me if he finds it."

"Okay, goodnight, my wife. Love you, mwah!"

After confirming that Gu Ye and Mo Xin had not returned, Yu Sheng decided to keep watch.

The area is under development and there are no streetlights yet, so even if she parks her car near the entrance of the residential area, Gu doesn't recognize it as her car.

She parked the car and waited patiently.

The wait was agonizing; every minute and every second made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.

An hour later, Yu Sheng was getting a little impatient and decided to get out of the car to stretch her legs.

The car was warm with the air conditioning on, but it was bitterly cold outside.

She unconsciously shrank her neck, her whole body trembling with cold.

She took a couple of steps and was about to give up the activity and return to her car when a beam of high beam shone from directly in front of her, making her squint.

Through her slits, she saw the car slowly approach and then stop in front of her.

Just as she was wondering what was going on, the rear seat window rolled down.

She tilted her head and looked at the man sitting inside, then froze...
