Silence reigned in the car.
Xiong Zhi was a bit embarrassed when she blurted out her question.
But she knew she was right. In the past and even in the present, Xiong Zhi has a deep trust in Linfeng. To the point where she could trust him even when her eyes were closed. So this simple move of Linfeng was no doubt all for her.
But seeing Linfeng's blank and dumbfounded expression Xiong Zhi got embarrassed.
Did she word it a bit too much?
"Ahm. What I mean to say is, you only have my sake in your mind when you did that." Xiong Zhi said to explain herself and to shatter this deafening silence.
Linfeng tried to be calm and answered.
"Y-you're right." However, his voice still shook.
It was a big shock for him of how Xiong Zhi could see his thoughts.
He gestured for Mr. Ji to drive forward.
The car's engine noise was now the last saving straw for this loud silence.
After a while, Linfeng finally speaks.
