Song Ning instinctively felt that Gu Zheng was in a bad mood.
"Um... Gu Zheng! Thanks for bringing me back! I'll get out now!"
Gu Zheng tightened his grip on the steering wheel, but couldn't get a word out.
He had no reason to stop her from getting out.
He had brought her back here, after all.
But Zhou Yuanhang had waited here until now. What important thing did he have to tell her...?
Song Ning opened the door and got out.
Gu Zheng could only watch as she and Zhou Yuanhang walked some distance away.
Zhou Yuanhang seemed to want to go farther.
But Song Ning stopped him.
Then Gu Zheng saw Zhou Yuanhang say several things to Song Ning, looking rather shy and nervous...
Song Ning lowered her head and thought for a moment, then...
Then she... actually nodded.
Zhou Yuanhang's face instantly lit up with a broad smile!
An overwhelming wave of panic swept over Gu Zheng-
Had he... had he been a step too late again?
What had she agreed to?!
Surely she hadn't agreed to... be his girlfriend!
Gu Zheng sat in the car, but he felt as though he were sitting in a frying pan.
He felt like an ant on a hot pan.
His heart was in utter turmoil.
He watched helplessly as Zhou Yuanhang took something out of his pocket and pressed it into Song Ning's hand.

A token of affection?
Or... or a bankbook?
Song Ning opened it and took a look, then actually... actually put it in her pocket!
An unbearable ache filled Gu Zheng's head. A crushing sense of loss washed over him, and his head dropped weakly against the steering wheel-
Unexpectedly, he hit the horn, sending out a piercing blast.
