Seeing that she was unwilling to say, Xin Zikai simply stopped asking. However, he insisted on one thing: she had to give him her phone number so he wouldn't worry.
Su Yan couldn't refuse this request. To her, Xin Zikai was her only friend and her savior. She was able to survive thanks to him.
After exchanging contact information, the two left the coffee shop together.
Su Yan originally wanted to tell Xin Zikai that, if possible, he shouldn't mention to anyone here that he knew her.
However, no one expected that as soon as they left the coffee shop, they would encounter that Bentley that had stopped.
Shen Muzhi and Xiang Zhilan came down, and Xiang Zhilan even greeted Xin Zikai.
Su Yan instinctively turned around to leave, but Xin Zikai pulled her wrist.
He always felt that Su Yan should have more friends and shouldn't be so closed off, so he wanted to introduce her to people.
Su Yan froze on the spot. She couldn't resist too fiercely, as that would only make her more conspicuous.
She could only lower her head and use the brim of her hat to cover her face.
"Zikai." Xiang Zhilan glanced at the tall girl next to Xin Zikai and felt a little strange. Although the hot summer had passed, most people were still wearing short sleeves, but this girl was covered from head to toe, not showing a single bit of skin. Moreover, her head was buried so low that her face could not be seen at all.
However, she noticed that Xin Zikai was holding the girl's wrist, and the girl's curled fingers looked like they had been burned.
Upon seeing this, she immediately looked away, realizing she had been too presumptuous.
"Lan, Mr. Chen." Xin Zikai smiled and greeted the two of them, then tried to introduce Ayan.
But before he could speak, Su Yan tugged at his little finger and shook it gently. He seemed to sense her desperate plea and immediately swallowed back what he wanted to say, only asking, "I just finished seeing Mrs. Xu. Are you going to the hospital to see her too?"
"Yes, we just came from the maternal and child health center for a prenatal checkup." Xiang Zhilan felt increasingly strange. Logically speaking, Xin Zikai should have introduced them to each other.
The girl hasn't looked up since then, seemingly not wanting to see them.
"Then you should go in quickly." Xin Zikai felt Su Yan's slight trembling. Having known her for ten years, he understood her temperament quite well. What was she afraid of and nervous about? Could it be that she actually knew Shen Muzhi and Xiang Zhilan?
"Okay." Xiang Zhilan looked up at Shen Muzhi, who usually took her hand naturally at times like this.
But today he remained motionless, staring intently at Xin Zikai's female friend, his gaze almost fixed on her.
If this friend were a great beauty, I could somewhat understand, but she didn't even show her face, so what was he staring at the top of her head for? Was he eyeing her hat?
"Shen Muzhi?" Xiang Zhilan felt that it was too impolite for him to keep staring like that, so she quickly shook the corner of his clothes.
Shen Muzhi, somewhat dazed, withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Zhi Lan.
"Let's go there." She loosened her grip on his clothes, said this, and then walked towards the hospital.
Shen Muzhi glanced at the woman next to Xin Zikai, hesitated for a moment, then looked away and headed towards Zhi Lan.
With his long legs and big strides, he caught up with Zhi Lan in no time.
Xiang Zhilan ignored him. She was right next to him, yet he dared to look at other women, so absent-mindedly!
