“Do you want the truth or do you want me to lie?”
Huo Siqian unwrapped a lollipop and pa.s.sed it to Huo Mian.
He then unwrapped another one and put it in his own mouth, mischievous like a young child.
“Duh, of course the truth.”
“The truth… is… I haven’t thought about it. We should focus on escaping first.” Huo Siqian laughed.
“What kind of talk is that? After we finish our meal, we’ll keep driving. We’ll reach the city in less than 6 hours, right?”
Su Yu thought that, so far, their escape had been quite successful. They were in the last stage. Once they got out of there, everything will be over.
Huo Siqian, however, didn’t see it that way.
“Yeah, let’s decide when we get out of here.” Huo Siqian reiterated.
Huo Mian grew even more anxious…
She took the lollipop and put it in her mouth, hoping its sweetness would calm her heart.
At the same time, she worried about Qin Chu and Lu Yan. Leila wouldn’t let them get away this easily, right?
After all, it was such a big set up. Zhao Qingya was dead… and before her, Mr.Y was killed too.
Once Leila returned to their dead bodies, wouldn’t she become even more enraged?
“Mian, what are you thinking about?”
Su Yu seemed pretty relaxed. He looked down at the worried Huo Mian.
“Nothing, I’m probably just a little hungry.”
“Then let’s go check on the noodles?”
Su Yu stood up and walked toward the stiff store clerk.
“Are the noodles ready?” Su Yu asked.
“It… should… be ready…”
Ever since Huo Siqian pointed a gun to his head, the store clerk had been s.h.i.+vering, even his voice was trembling.
Su Yu picked out the braised pork flavored ramen and placed it in front of Huo Mian.
“You’re pregnant. Don’t eat anything too spicy. Try it.”
“Okay.”
Afterward, Su Yu also brought out his and Huo Siqian’s ramen. The trio sat down around the table.
Taking in the scent of the ramen, they actually felt a sense of happiness. Sure enough, everything tastes delicious when you’re hungry.
They were all important figures who’d gone through everything there was to go through, spending money like it was water.
How funny was it to have people that were used to delicacies huddled up around a small table, excited about a bowl of ramen?
Before they began to eat, Huo Mian took out her testing cutlery and tested every bowl for poison.
Rest a.s.sured, everyone began to eat…
It was very quiet during their meal. Nothing happened.
That made Huo Mian even more anxious.
She observed her surroundings as he ate but nothing looked suspicious.
It was exactly this reason, however, that made it all the more bizarre. They were in the middle of the woods and not even the sound of a bird could be heard. The silence was frightening.
She felt like she was in the movie <>, when the female protagonist entered the small town. It was as unsettling as that.
She chose to hide her worries, however, because she didn’t want to ruin Su Yu and Huo Siqian’s mood.
After their meal, Su Yu rubbed his round belly, satisfied.
A bowl of ramen brought him more satisfaction than any fine cuisine he’d had before.
“We should grab some for the road. What if we get hungry?” Su Yu
“We can’t boil water in the car. Just get some instant foods. Grab some water,” Huo Siqian replied.
With that, Huo Siqian and Su Yu each grabbed a shopping bag and filled them with food from the store.
After the trio left the store, Huo Mian suddenly heard a weak sound…
Her heart stopped.
“Wait!” she yelled, startling both Huo Siqian and Su Yu.
“What?” Huo Mian’s odd outburst confused the wits out of Su Yu.
