But now...
Ling Qingan sat in the passenger seat, her body tensed up. She hung her head, and with every blink, a shadow was cast under her eyelids.
Su Ran could feel the desperate and defeated aura emanating from her, like being trapped in a cage, unable to break free or escape.
"You don't seem surprised."
After a while, Ling Qingan spoke softly.
Su Ran stared ahead, firmly gripping the steering wheel.
"Are you referring to you returning to the country, or to someone following you?"
Ling Qingan's lips trembled uncontrollably, as she stubbornly refused to show her vulnerability to anyone, turning to look out the window instead.
"You've known all along that someone was following me, which is why you deliberately slowed down the car and lost him at the last second of the green light. He must recognize you."
At the intersection ahead, the green light turned red. Su Ran slowed down and came to a stop, then turned to look at her.
"Yeah, what a coincidence, isn't it?"
