The man's thin lips slowly opened and closed, dragging out a deep, magnetic voice.

The voice was hoarse, indifferent and cold. It was better than a radio broadcast, and it was melodious in the limited space of the car.

Ruan Mengyao's expression was dull as if she had gone into a trance.

The man looked up.

Through the rearview mirror, he could see a pair of pitch-black eyes that could not be seen.

Ruan Mengyao suddenly froze. From her point of view, she saw the man's eyes.

It was a pair of perfect and charming eyes that only one person in the world was worthy of.

Her body was stiff and her eyes were slightly red. She stared fixedly at the rearview mirror, and the expression on her face went from stunned to complicated.

After a strange moment of silence, she quickly opened the door and got out of the car. Like a ghost, she walked forward without even turning her head.

Gong Cheng, the man she didn't want to see all her life.

Ruan Mengyao did not know what she was thinking about. She was completely oblivious to the wretched middle-aged man rushing out of the alley!

"Damned girl, where are you running to?!"

He embraced Ruan Mengyao from behind, pressing his sharp knife against her tender neck, dragging her back into the alley, breathing heavily into her ear. "How dare you scam me! If I don't kill you first, I'll kill you later!"

The man raised his saber and a cold light flashed from the tip, shining on Ruan Mengyao's fiercely twisted face. With a crazed and wicked smile, he stabbed the blade towards Ruan Mengyao!

"Bam!"

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind came and kicked the saber that was about to pierce into Ruan Mengyao's body into the air.

"Ahh!"

The man howled in pain as he tightly held onto his wrist.

Ruan Mengyao slowly opened her eyes. Her cold and slender figure was standing less than half a meter away from her. Her aura was indifferent and warm.

Gong Cheng.

"F * ck, where did this furry brat come from? How dare he ruin my plans!" I'll kill you too! " The vulgar man grabbed the sword on the ground and rushed forward again.

"Be careful!" Ruan Mengyao almost blurted out.

Gong Cheng frowned and calmly raised his slender leg.

"Puff …"

Before the man could get close to him, he was kicked to the ground.

"F * ck off." The word was cold and filled with danger.

Seeing that Gong Cheng was not easy to mess with, the vulgar man quickly got up and ran away dejectedly.

Gong Cheng stopped where he was for a moment and felt something was wrong. He turned his body slightly and squinted his long and narrow eyes.

Ruan Mengyao tiptoed to the mouth of the alley like a thief. Suddenly, she felt a ray of cold light shooting towards her. Her delicate body shuddered.

Gong Cheng's gaze was fixed on Ruan Mengyao, who wanted to slip away. His cold voice sounded, "Where do you want to run to?"

Ruan Mengyao stopped abruptly, trembling from head to toe.

Gong Cheng's words echoed in the alley for a long time, just like seven years ago when he furiously questioned Ye Zichen on the phone.

Where are you going? Ruan Mengyao, you dare to run!

Ruan Mengyao's heart surged as she was covered in cold sweat. She turned her head unnaturally and said uncomfortably, "I don't want to run, the palace …"

"Let's go, I'll send you off." Unknowingly, Gong Cheng had arrived behind her.

Ruan Mengyao was stunned. When she reacted, Gong Cheng had already started striding towards the car.

"..."

Inside the car, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Ruan Mengyao huddled in the back seat, unable to sit still.

She sneakily glanced at Gong Cheng, who was silently driving, and stared at his white and firm collar, feeling a little dazed.

The way he drove was exactly the same as seven years ago, except that it was her who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Gong Cheng suddenly raised his gaze and met Ruan Mengyao's gaze.

Ruan Mengyao was shocked and lowered her head. She was afraid that Gong Cheng's eyes would see through all the lies and crimes, exposing her true colors.

However, just as Ruan Mengyao was panicking, the phone in her pocket rang.

"Come on ~ Happy ~ There's a lot of time ~ Come on ~ Love ~ There's a lot of desire anyway …"

The interior of the car had always been silent. The ringing sound was loud and soul-stirring. In this awkward atmosphere, it was extremely strange.

Ruan Mengyao's entire body stiffened. Even her breathing became still. She wanted to press her face against the window.

"Your phone rang." Gong Cheng glanced at her, but his voice was still calm.

Ruan Mengyao's face turned red as she picked up the phone.

"Hello? Have you arrived? Damn, I accidentally overslept and agreed to pick you up … Where are you now? " Lin Si's burning, high-pitched voice rang out, so loud that even the cell phone's shell was trembling.

Ruan Mengyao didn't say anything as she looked absent-mindedly at Gong Cheng, who was driving.

"Hello? Hey! Are you listening? "Yao …"

Ruan Mengyao immediately choked on Lin Si's words and covered her mouth, feeling guilty. "I-I'm in someone else's car. I'm hanging up now …"

"Ah?" "What are you muttering about …"

Without waiting for Lin Si to finish speaking, Ruan Mengyao hurriedly cut off the call. Yao, Gong Cheng used to call her that.

She breathed a sigh of relief and raised her head. She was shocked to find that Gong Cheng was staring deeply at the rearview mirror.

Ruan Mengyao didn't dare to move. She swallowed her saliva and said, "Uh, I …"

"How do I get to Rentong Street?" Gong Cheng said.

Ruan Mengyao was stupefied, and the color on her face faded.

"Forget it." Gong Cheng didn't seem to have the patience to wait for her reply, so he pressed the navigation button.

After a long while, Ruan Mengyao turned her head and looked out the window. The street scenery was like a assembly line as she retreated backwards. Her throat felt like it was stuffed with a ball of cotton soaked in water, causing her heart to ache.

Her house was near Rinton Street, and he asked her where she was going.

"..."

It was late at night and the streets were cold. Gong Cheng parked his car by the side of the road.

"We're here." Gong Cheng turned his face to the side slightly, so tall that the bridge of his nose cast a shadow.

Ruan Mengyao came back to her senses, glanced at Gong Cheng as she wanted to say something, then got out of the car.

She closed the door and hesitated for a moment before leaving. She bit her lip and turned around, wanting to say a word of thanks to Gong Cheng in the car.

Rolls-Royce was gone!

"Hey!" Ruan Mengyao shouted on the spot, dumbfounded.

Her suitcase was still in his car!

Ruan Mengyao stomped her foot. At that moment, her phone rang again.

"Yao, what happened just now?" Are you alright? "

Ruan Mengyao rubbed her hair in frustration as she walked back with a depressed look on her face, "I bumped into Gong Cheng."

"…" There was a long silence. "How are you two?"

"He seems to be... I didn't recognize who I was. "

"Passed by?"

"No, something happened. He sent me back."

Lin Si suddenly screamed excitedly, "That's impossible! With Gong Cheng's ability, even if you turn into ashes, he would recognize you! "

Ruan Mengyao thought about Gong Cheng's question about the way to Rentong Street. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat as she said unhappily, "It's not that he didn't recognize her, but he has completely forgotten about her."

"Why? What happened seven years ago that made him forget about you? " Lin Si's voice sank.

Ruan Mengyao didn't want to think about what happened back then. She casually replied, "Aiya, it's all in the past now. Alright, I'm back home. I won't tell you about it now that they're all asleep."

After saying that, she hurriedly hung up the phone, but her heart was unable to calm down for a long time.
