Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Something’s Not Right
This question completely stumped Song Song!
How could she have expected him to ask such a question...
Xiao Jinghuai glanced at the girl beside him, "What, did a cat bite your tongue?"
"...No, it’s not that. I think it should be fine! I’m not really sure."
She’s faking it. How would she know if it’s heavy or not?
Why would he, a grown man, ask so much detail?
So awkward!
"Your own business, you aren’t even sure?"
Xiao Jinghuai’s tone sent a chill down Song Song’s spine. In terms of guessing thoughts, she’s completely a rookie.
"...Uh, not really sure."
The man remained steady at the wheel, his deep eyes fixed on the road ahead. When Song Song wasn’t noticing, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, smiling cryptically.
About ten seconds later, he spoke again, "The seat cushions in my car are expensive, be careful not to dirty them. There’s a convenience store up ahead, why don’t you go buy some products and then use the restroom, okay?"
"Sure, sure!"
Song Song felt she finally had a chance to breathe. She didn’t know if Shang Tao had succeeded or not.
Because they swapped phones, she couldn’t send Shang Tao a wechat in front of him to inquire about the progress. She’d do it later when she goes to the convenience store.
After Xiao Jinghuai pulled over, Song Song, momentarily forgetting, happily got out of the car.
The man lowered the car window and asked, "No longer in pain?"
"No."
Song Song quickly realized and continued holding her stomach, "Still hurts a lot. Uncle, wait for me for a bit, I’ll be quick."
"Okay—"
Once inside the convenience store, Song Song immediately took out her phone to send Shang Tao a Wechat message, "Taozi, how’s it going on your side?"
Shang Tao quickly replied, "Done, already prepping for a great escape, how about you?"
Song Song felt frustrated, "Then be careful on the road, on my side... I don’t know yet, currently in a convenience store, about to buy sanitary pads."
"You’ve succeeded, so I don’t have to fake it anymore, right?"
Shang Tao, "No way! That uncle of mine is too shrewd, you must persist, huh! The longer you drag it out, the better, ideally until I’m on the plane. Also, once Nannan and I have made our getaway, we’ll give this phone to a stranger, so uncle won’t be able to track you. Perfect!"
Song Song saw there were indeed no flaws, "Okay, let’s do that!"
Shang Tao, "Baozi, kisses!"
Song Song, "Enough, I have to hurry and finish buying, or he’ll get suspicious."
Shang Tao, "Okay, yes, hurry up!"
Subsequently, Song Song went to the rack displaying daily necessities and eventually picked a package of liners. She thought, after all, he wouldn’t understand, just pretend like it’s real.
Back in the car, Song Song held the box of liners on her lap.
Xiao Jinghuai glanced at her lap, "Only bought that little? Seems like it shouldn’t be much."
Song Song screamed internally, could we stop talking about the amount...?
This made her feel so awkward, alright?
"Haha!"
Song Song let out two dry laughs.
Then Xiao Jinghuai suggested, "You seem fine now, want to go to someplace fun?"
"Someplace fun?" Song Song’s interest was piqued, "Where?"
He doesn’t seem like someone who knows how to have fun, how would he know where’s fun?
Actually, Xiao Jinghuai really didn’t know, it was just something he casually mentioned. He smiled faintly, "You’ll know once we’re there."
"...Always like that!"
Song Song didn’t trust his words.
"If you don’t want to know, we’ll go home."
Song Song was curious, quickly replied, "Yes, I want to go!"
Soon after, Xiao Jinghuai turned into the nearby underground parking lot, parked, and said, "Get out of the car."
Song Song was somewhat amused, because to her this felt like a date, quickly reaching to open the door and got out...
But as soon as she exited, she felt something was wrong with a part of her body.
