Jia alternated her gaze between Mingshen, Yang Cheng and Yang Bingqing as she had joined them in their luxurious car, much upon Yang Bingqing's insistence to drop her home.
She cleared her throat. "Aunt, you didn't have to take the trouble-"
"Preposterous! How could I have let the birthday girl go home all alone by herself?" She pouted.
I mean I am an adult and a cop at that so…
She glanced at Yang Cheng who didn't show any particular expression while Mingshen was enjoying her company and awkwardness.
This evil doctor must have brainwashed her!
Yang Bingqing asked the driver, "Oh, oh, take that turn please. There is congestion on the road ahead. Plus, this is a shortcut~"
"Yes, Mam."
Is this really a shortcut? Jia wondered, who pretty much knew all about the shortcuts to her apartment.
This was a new one.
She glanced at Mingshen, who was simply smiling at her in silence, making her irk.
