Shen Bing glanced at Yun Xue and said, "That really is perfectly normal! Forget it, let's drop the subject. If you have any questions about why I bought this car, they'll answer themselves once you get in."
With that, Shen Bing climbed into the car first, afraid this female Sherlock Holmes would spot another hole in his story.
This time, he didn't sit up front. Leaving a girl all alone in the back would have been decidedly ungentlemanly.
Yun Xue didn't pester him further. She opened the door on the other side and got in.
As the car started moving, Yun Xue's eyes widened. If the buildings outside the windows hadn't been sliding backward, she wouldn't have felt the car moving at all.
"Shen Bing, this car is incredible!" Yun Xue couldn't help exclaiming. "How did you modify it? Aren't car modifications illegal here?"
Shen Bing pursed his lips. "Who said I modified it?"
Yun Xue's expression said, Go on, keep making things up. He dared claim this car hadn't been modified? Who was he trying to fool, a child?
Shen Bing didn't explain. Was he supposed to say that the car really hadn't been modified because it wasn't a Wuling Hongguang at all, but an Immortal Carriage from the Immortal Realm? Like hell he could tell her that. It would be a real Ghost if he could.
"I remember Mom saying before New Year that you were planning to find a job in Rongcheng. Did that go smoothly?"
"Of course," Yun Xue said. "I've already landed a job with a company doing computer research. You probably don't know this, but I had to jump through all sorts of hoops and put in a tremendous amount of effort to get the position."
"What position?"
"Project manager for Interactive Touch Technology
