Lu Tingnian opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the driver slammed on the brakes, and the car came to a sudden stop halfway down the road.

Qiao Luo lost her balance and bumped into Lu Tingnian.

Lu Tingnian reached out and caught her. "Are you alright?"

Looking at her pale face, Lu Tingnian frowned.

Qiao Luo was just startled. She and Lu Tingnian had just been in a car accident, and she didn't expect that just a few days later, she would almost have another accident. She was lucky that she wasn't scared to death.

"Driver, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were a driver with twenty years of experience? Why are you still..." Qiao Luo was very angry. She rarely lost her temper with people she didn't know well.

"I'm sorry, you two. I wasn't paying attention. The car in front of us suddenly changed lanes."

The driver, his forehead covered in sweat, explained.

Qiao Luo then looked at the car in front. Just after their car stopped, that car also stopped. She wasn't sure if she was seeing things, but she thought she saw Gu Qiyan.

Because the distance between the two cars was a bit far, Qiao Luo couldn't see clearly and didn't think about it anymore.

“We won’t ride in your car anymore. You can drive it back. I’ll pay you as usual.”

She believed the driver hadn't done it on purpose, but she was already extremely nervous.

Moreover, there's Lu Tingnian by my side.

Qiao Luo quickly helped Lu Tingnian out of the car.

She's really traumatized by car rides.

The car was rented by Qiao Luo, and the driver was also provided by the rental company. With a deposit in hand, the driver wasn't worried about her defaulting on the payment. He quickly apologized to the two of them again and hurriedly drove away.

Instead of reaching her destination, she got off the bus halfway there. Qiao Luo realized that she must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today.

She looked at Lu Tingnian in front of her.

"Sorry, I wanted to take you somewhere fun, but..."

Lu Tingnian didn't seem to care. He said, "The scenery here is quite nice. Let me go for a walk."

This is a boardwalk built by the roadside for people to stroll and relax. On the other side is a clear river with crystal-clear water and a row of coconut trees planted on the banks. After spending too much time in the noisy city, the scenery here is indeed pleasant.

Qiao Luo pushed Lu Tingnian for a while before stopping under a coconut tree.

Although it's a sunny and breezy day, it's still uncomfortable to be in the sun for too long.

"I'll call a car right away, and we'll go back as soon as it arrives."

I was clearly not in the mood for sightseeing today; after all, I was just glad to be alive.

"No need, Han Jian will be here soon," Lu Tingnian said.

Qiao Luo was surprised. He hadn't left her sight the whole time. When did he call Han Jian?

Or are they just in sync?

Sure enough, not long after, Han Jian's car stopped in front of the two of them.

Qiao Luo saw Han Jian get out of the car and walk towards them, and felt a pang of emotion.

"Mr. Han, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Han Jian smiled at her, "Miss Qiao, please don't stand on ceremony with me."

On the way back, Qiao Luo was in a very depressed mood. She didn't know what was wrong with her today. She had planned everything, but the sudden accident ruined everything.

She felt a little sorry for Lu Tingnian. He was already in such a state, yet she hadn't been able to do anything to make it up to him.

"Pity?"

Lu Tingnian noticed that she was in a bad mood and asked.

Qiao Luo nodded. "A little."

"There will be other opportunities in the future," Lu Tingnian comforted her.

Qiao Luo sighed inwardly, hoping so.

Perhaps because she was too depressed, after returning to the urban village, Qiao Luo went in first, while Han Jian pushed Lu Tingnian to fall behind.

"Mr. Lu, we've made a discovery today."
