However, the other person's...In the darkness, the screen's light was slightly glaring. Yang Ning blinked, pondering how to reply.

Feeling complex, there were so many things I wanted to say, but Yang Ning finally just replied with "Didn't sleep."

After waiting for no more than a second, a new text message came from the phone.

Yang Ning couldn't wait to open it, he just had to quickly check the message on the screen.

"Me too, how about we sneak out I'll take you for a drive."

Going for a drive

Yang Ning was stunned for a moment, then reacted, her expression suddenly becoming ecstatic. She immediately raised the corners of her mouth, jumped out of bed, and threw away the worried look she had just moments before.

Without much thought for the consequences, she hurriedly put on her clothes and shoes, then sat down on the bed and quickly replied to An Tianxiang's message.

Okay, come pick me up!

She had never been so excited, nor had she ever felt such a strong urge to do something. The constant worries, the strained relationships, seemed to have wrapped her heart in layers of suffocating plastic film, leaving her utterly exhausted.

At this moment, Yang Ning just wanted to take a deep breath of cold wind and blow away all the unpleasant things from her mind.

"Okay, wait for me, I'll be there soon."

An Tianxiang's message was quickly replied, Yang Ning finished reading the text message and threw his phone aside, propped up on the bed with both arms, his mood finally relaxed.

A moment later, Yang Ning's phone rang again. She quickly answered the call, and An Tianxiang's voice came from the receiver.

"I'm downstairs, come down quickly."

Okay, come down now.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Ning gently opened the door. She peeked out onto the porch and looked around, but saw no one. Boldly, she stepped outside.

The villa was very quiet. Yang Ning had just taken two steps when she felt her footsteps were too loud, so she immediately took off her shoes and tiptoed down the stairs until she reached the door before putting them back on.

However, no matter how careful she was, Yang Ning never discovered that someone had already followed her.

Leaving the villa, a white Audi was parked at the door. She walked over and knocked on the car window. An Tianxiang's face appeared.

"Come up."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ning nodded and got into the car. The jazz music inside instantly washed away her inner turmoil like water.

"Shall we just go for a drive, or do you want to do something else"

The car was dark, the interior shrouded in darkness. Yang Ning felt a sense of safety, but also a strange aura surrounding the two of them.

She cocked her head at him with a sharp glance, her voice calm: "Go for a drive. All I want right now is to feel the wind in my hair."

An Tianxiang gripped the steering wheel and glanced at Yang Ning out of the corner of his eye. He sensed the dejection in her words and raised an eyebrow, asking, "What's wrong Still thinking about what happened this morning"

When he suddenly asked her, Yang Ning blinked, trying to conceal her thoughts. However, deep down, she knew that some things, no matter how well they were hidden, would always resurface.

She finally stopped trying to hide it, nodding with a hint of self-doubt in her voice.

"You actually came to look for me, you must have forgiven me then. Don't you think I was incredibly impulsive and foolish Always misunderstanding you..."

Yang Ning didn't like this, misunderstanding others, making himself a thorough egocentric.

An Tianxiang calmly gazed ahead, listening to Yang Ning's worries. The car speed had already soared to a hundred miles per hour. The night was as dark as ink, and the silent island circumnavigation road was only accompanied by the roaring sound of the car engine.

Seeing that he didn't answer her for a long time, Yang Ning thought he didn't want to answer the question. She let out a light sigh, some parts of her emotions were beginning to crumble.

Suddenly, the person who had always been silent spoke.

He said, “It seems the director told you a lot. I thought about it, and I can’t figure out your question. All I know is that I wouldn’t have come to find you on my own before. Now if I don’t come, I’ll feel uneasy because you’re not by my side.”

An Tianxiang's expression was calm. He opened the skylight and the windows around it. The cold wind poured into the car, and Yang Ning's originally troubled heart seemed to be thrown into the icy wasteland, filled with an incredible sense of tranquility.

"Wow, so cool!"

She had not felt this free in a long time, letting go of her thoughts. The wind whipped across her cheeks, the darkness and cold colliding with her body.

At this moment, Yang Ning doesn't need to think about anything; he just needs to completely relax himself.

"Why don't you just shout it out It would be more satisfying."

The island at night was deserted. An Tianxiang paid close attention to the road ahead, like a cheetah, tearing through the tranquil darkness.

Yang Ning followed An Tianxiang's suggestion. She stood up and stretched her upper body out of the skylight.

The icy wind tugged at her long hair, and countless knives seemed to carve across Yang Ning's cheeks. Yet, she paid no heed, as if challenging the invisible king of the night. She opened her mouth, and a hoarse scream tore through the low-hanging darkness.

“Oh—”

Yang Ning had no idea how long she'd been shouting. She only knew that in the end, she was left with just one breath before collapsing back onto her seat.

The restlessness and anxieties in my heart have finally subsided a little.

Seeing that Yang Ning had vented most of his frustration, An Tianxiang timely closed the windows around and on top of the car. He slowed down the car, and everything fell silent.

"After finishing things tomorrow morning, I'm guessing I'll have to fly to the US again."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ning was taken aback. She lowered her eyes, and the wind that swept past her heart brought a touch of loneliness.

Looking at An Tianxiang's profile, she couldn't help but say, "Are you so anxious"

Just one night, how could it possibly make up for the many days of separation But he had work, and she had misunderstood him…

Yang Ning bit her lip, not wanting to say anything more willful.

"Well, it's been like this for about a month now. Things at the company have been pretty complicated."

An Tianxiang drove the car to a beach. He stopped, turned his head to look at Yang Ning, whose face was downcast, and the sound of waves lapping against the shore echoed in his ears.

You're so busy, yet you still wanted to see me. I misunderstood you today, and you must have felt really uncomfortable, right

Yang Ning opened the car door and got out with An Tianxiang. They walked side by side, their taillights illuminating the path ahead, driving away the darkness behind them.

An Tianxiang naturally reached out and took Yang Ning's icy hand, tucking it into his pocket. Under the curl of his long eyelashes lay a pair of calm and gentle eyes.

Yang Ning had never seen this side of him.
