Chapter 271 - You Got the Wrong Person (1/2)

Li Beinian had been forcing food down herself for a while now.

Seeing that Mu Donglin left, she quickly put her chopsticks down.

She took a sip of her juice and stroked her full belly as she scrolled Weibo happily.

Unsurprisingly, there was a lot going on online.

But Li Beinian hadn’t expected Sheng An Entertainment to express their good wishes too.

Then again, given that this stirred much publicity, it wasn’t strange for Sheng An to want to ride on it.

More than half of the news online was about her and her fiancé.

How annoying.

But that was good too.

With this amount of publicity, everyone who should know about it—and even everyone who shouldn’t—would be informed by now.

She kept her cell phone, got up, and left.

…

The smell of the steamboat was really strong. It took a while of being away from it before Mu Donglin felt better.

But when he went back to his seat, he realized that she had left.

He took his cell phone out and gave Li Beinian a call.

…

Li Beinian had flagged down a cap with her shades and mask on.

But this was the afternoon peak hour.

There were many cars on the road, but not any vacant cabs.

The sun was scorching at that time of the day.

Li Beinian waited in the sun for a good five minutes before hiding behind a lamppost, for fear of being caught on camera.

There still wasn’t any cab, but she saw a luxury car pull to a stop.

It was a silver Spyker, a very eye-catching car.

Li Beinian instinctively looked up at the traffic light. It was green for pedestrians.

She thought this car might have stopped for her to cross.

But the driver rolled down the window.

She felt the cool air from the air-conditioned car.
