Chapter 135 A pleasant conversation

As they drove through the winding roads toward the hospital, the hum of the engine and the rhythmic sound of the tires meeting the pavement filled the quiet space between them. 

Stacy leaned back in her seat, her eyes occasionally drifting to the passing scenery outside the window. The fading sunlight cast long shadows over the buildings and trees, giving the world a serene glow. 

She glanced at Jin Xu, who was focused on the road, his hands resting steadily on the steering wheel.

Her thoughts, however, were restless, and curiosity bubbled up inside her. Unable to hold back any longer, she decided to ask the question that had been lingering in her mind since they had begun their journey. 

"Jin Xu," she called softly, her voice tentative, as if testing the waters. 

He didn't turn, but she saw the subtle way his posture shifted, acknowledging her. "Yes, Mrs. Qin?" His tone was polite, respectful, but the way he addressed her caught Stacy off guard.
