"Don't you have somewhere to be right now, Mr. Wei?" Lillie's eyebrow arched at him.
"Oh shit, the meeting!" Wei Fang flailed as it occurred to him. He frantically read the time on his wristwatch and his face scrunched up. "I hope your father wouldn't be too upset with me."
"If you go now, you'll make it just in time." Lillie's hand that was about to wave at him dismissively froze on her side. Presences were nearing them in different directions. Her ears caught the sound of various footsteps getting louder and louder.
Earlier, when she exited the convenience store, she saw four black vans driving in the gas station. She didn't pay too much attention to it.
Until it seems like the vans' passengers took interest in her and Wei Fang.
"Right. Then I'll be on my way—" Wei Fang's sheepish look was replaced by a frown as an unknown man approached Lillie from behind and boldly slung his arm over her shoulder in a crude manner.
[1] xiǎo bái liǎn (小白脸) - little white face. It means a young man who doesn't know too much about the world, a pretty boy, a gold digger, or sugar baby (of an older woman).
Honestly speaking, I’m running out of ideas. I’ve been thinking about doing a brief hiatus (probably 1 month). I just can’t focus on the book because of studies. I‘m mentally exhausted because of stress, you guys.
I’m still thinking about it thought. But when it happens, I hope you understand.
