Han Muzi slept soundly this time, falling into a deep slumber like Little Bean.
However, Yan had been staring out the windows anxiously. Usually, she was the one who could sleep like a log anywhere, but this was the first time she was so awake. She had been staring at the vehicles on the road, but she didn’t see that particular car.
Nevertheless, regardless of where the car was at now—whether it was in front or behind them—she was worried sick.
After exiting the highway, Yan finally saw the myriad twinkling lights of the city as the car entered the city streets.
This was the typical sight in big cities; even after midnight, there were still many buildings brightly lit as the nightlife had just begun.
The street lights flashed one after another outside the car window. After passing through a few traffic lights, Yan was finally relieved to see many more local vehicles around her.
Even if they were all in North City, it would be difficult to pinpoint one particular car out of so many cars. Maybe Ye Moxuan had changed lanes or taken another route.
Thinking about this, Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she slowly leaned back into the seat.
She was exhausted after watching the cars all night, her eyes almost sealing shut.
Yan closed her eyes, wanting to take a good night’s sleep. “Mr. Nan, wake me up when we get there. I want to sleep for a while.”
“Alright,” Mr. Nan responded gently.
Not long after Yan fell asleep, Han Muzi received a call from Han Qing. She did not respond when the phone vibrated, but Little Bean felt it first and tugged her sleeves to wake her up.
Han Muzi glanced at him sleepily. “Yes, Little Bean?”
“Mommy, your phone is vibrating,” Little Bean reminded her.
Hearing that, Han Muzi snapped back to her senses and picked the phone up, only to see that Han Qing was calling her.
“It’s your uncle, answer it.”
“Okay.”
Little Bean answered the phone. After being abruptly woken up from a deep sleep, Han Muzi felt that her brain was still in daze, so she continued to lean back and rest. It didn’t take long for Little Bean to finish the call. “Mommy, Uncle Qing said he will be waiting for us at the next exit,” he said.
“Huh? How did he know where we are?”
“I’ve just sent him our location.”
After Little Bean said that, he turned to inform Mr. Nan, who nodded. “Okay.”
Sure enough, when they arrived at the next exit, Han Muzi saw Han Qing’s car. He was standing not far from the road, looking at them with a pair of deep but distant eyes.
“It’s Uncle Qing!” Little Bean exclaimed in a low voice.
Han Muzi glanced at Yan next to her, who was still soundly asleep.
Little Bean asked, “Mommy, do we wake her up?”
“No. Aunt Yan is quite tired along the way, and she finally fell asleep now. We’ll let her sleep for a bit more.”
So, both of them got out of the car together and walked to Han Qing.
“Qing.” Han Muzi looked helplessly at Han Qing’s stern expression. “Geez, didn’t I say that everything’s fine? Why did you come to fetch us in the middle of the night?”
Han Qing sized her up, then said in a low voice after reassuring himself that she was fine, “I’m worried.”
Han Muzi hesitated before saying, “Why don’t you think about it this way—if something had indeed happened, would I have been able to send you a message so leisurely?”
Han Qing replied, “I didn’t think so much at that time. Nothing else matters as long as you are safe.”
“Uncle Qing, I want you to carry me.”
When they finished talking, Little Bean stretched out his hands and asked for a hug. Han Qing caressed his head and scooped him up easily with one hand. “Are you tired?”
“Not at all, Uncle Qing. I think you are more tired than I am.”
“This is all my fault. Had I known you would be stranded in such a situation, I wouldn’t have been so impatient. Let’s go and take my car. I’ll take you back to the Han residence.”
“Wait.”
Han Muzi turned around and walked to the car she had been riding before leaning over the window. “Mr. Nan, please follow us to the Han residence. Yan is still sleeping. I’ll wake her up when we get there,” she said to Mr. Nan.
Mr. Nan nodded at her kindly.
At this moment, a familiar vehicle drove past them, the man behind the wheels looking straight ahead with a stony face.
However, in a split second, as if drawn by something, he looked over in another direction.
Right at this moment, Han Muzi had already walked toward Han Qing’s car. He had already opened the door, and Han Muzi was bending over to get into the car.
The woman’s exquisite and beautiful face fleeted past him, but Ye Moxuan was still stunned, feeling that he had suddenly lost his focus. When he regained his composure again, he realized that a car in the left lane was coming his way.
Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes cautiously and quickly swerved the steering wheel.
Bang!
Not long after Han Muzi and Little Bean had settled down in the car, they heard a loud crash.
Both of them turned around to look at the source of the sound just in time to see a car crash into the guardrail by the road and come to a stop.
Upon witnessing the scene, Han Muzi’s pupils shrank, and she felt her eyelids twitch fiercely. She suddenly felt a sense of restlessness, so she quickly reached out to cover her eyelids and said “Why are there so many accidents tonight?”
Han Qing saw the accident too. With a purse of his lips, he said coldly, “The driver was too careless. These people are driving too recklessly. Let’s go back first.”
“Alright, let’s go back. I always feel quite uncomfortable seeing these.”
Little Bean quickly reached out and hugged Han Muzi. “Mommy, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.”
A warm feeling surged through Han Muzi’s body. After the car started, she couldn’t help looking back at the accident not far away through the car window.
She wondered why the driver didn’t do anything after hitting the rail; he didn’t even open the door.
I wonder how the passengers are now…
Han Muzi stretched out her hand and massaged her eyebrows before retracting her glance.
The car arrived at the Han residence very quickly, and as they entered the mansion, Han Muzi felt rather peculiar as the view unfolded in front of her.
It was not that she hadn’t been here before, but she hadn’t been back here since she returned to Han Family and became Han Muzi. This was the first time she had returned to this place after five years.
Now, it seemed that there were so many memories.
At that time, I was not a Han, nor was I the Young Lady of the Han family. I was just a—
“Here we are. You can get out of the car now.”
A cold voice resonated, interrupting Han Muzi’s thoughts.
She snapped back to her senses and got out of the car with Little Bean.
After getting out of the car, Han Muzi saw that Mr. Nan’s car was following closely behind so she whispered softly, “Yan is probably still sleeping. I’ll wake her up.”
With that, under Han Qing’s gaze, Han Muzi walked to Mr. Nan’s car and opened the door to wake Yan up.
However, Yan was still in her dreamland, hugging herself as a foolish smile was plastered on her face. Han Muzi tried to wake her up by calling her several times but it was to no avail.
Seemingly becoming impatient, Han Qing walked toward them.
