Accusations of not wanting to marry: The prosecutor pressed him relentlessly.

Lu Yanli brought his driver with him today because he knew he would be drinking.

Seeing Mu Wangbei holding Fang Youxi's hand, opening the car door for her, and even glancing at him, he couldn't suppress the anger surging in his chest.

Tang Yi even asked politely, "Would you like me to give you a ride?"

"You've been drinking yourself and need someone to take you home. Alright, enough with the formalities, let's go." Lu Yanli was furious. As soon as he got in the car, he instructed the driver, "Let's go, take me to the gym to play ball."

The car sped away, even its exhaust fumes seemed to exude vitality.

Tang Ze hadn't drunk any alcohol today; he'd stayed up all night and his mouth was tasteless. Tang Yi just wanted to leave as soon as possible. He got into Tang Ze's car and said, "Let's go quickly, I can't stand it for another second."

Lu Yanli felt increasingly frustrated the more he thought about it.

Originally, his relationship with Fang Youxi wasn't something he absolutely had to pursue. Even if a marriage didn't happen, they could still be on good terms, since there wasn't much of a real emotional connection between them. But the current situation made him very unhappy.

At first, he was the rightful owner, and the two families were practically ready to arrange a marriage.

Mu Wangbei suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Fang Youxi talks about not wanting to get married or have children all the time, as if she doesn't take anyone seriously and has a completely carefree attitude towards life.

He thought that since he was a man, he couldn't let Fang Youxi take the blame, so he could only swallow his pride.

As a result, no sooner had he dissolved the engagement than this damned woman brought Mu Wangbei home for dinner.

Is this a lack of seriousness?

Isn't this a serious attitude towards meeting the parents?

What is she trying to do? Has he been tricked?

This is a bit too much.

What annoyed him the most was the attitude of the entire Tang family from top to bottom. It was as if he was superfluous, and they were being hypocritically polite. How had they treated him before? Grandpa Tang had practically shoved Fang Youxi into his hands, saying that he was family and there was no need to be polite. But today, they didn't mention anything about what had happened before. Were they afraid that Mu Wangbei would be unhappy?

So, you've forgotten the old one for the new one?

What's most infuriating is Fang Youxi. Don't let him see her on Monday the day after tomorrow. She'll be in big trouble. It's not something that can be appeased with just one meal.

Seriously, no one does that.

Everyone had left. Mu Wangbei had a few drinks, and after getting into the car and preparing to start it, he realized the problem: he couldn't drive.

It's Christmas today, and it's hard to get a taxi.

If they waited for a designated driver here, it would probably take a while. He asked Fang Youxi, "You have a driver's license, right? Why don't you drive today? Or should we sit here and wait for the designated driver?"

The old man's driver was on holiday today, so Lu Yanli came with his own driver. Tang Yi left in Tang Ze's car.

They all slipped away faster than rabbits.

If they stay here any longer, they might be called back again.

Fang Youxi stared at the steering wheel, her heart pounding.

"What's wrong? It's okay if you don't want to drive, I'll call a designated driver."

Fang Youxi shook her head: "It's okay, I'll drive. There are many restaurants and designated drivers on the main road, so I can switch drivers there."

The old man's villa was in the suburbs, which had the advantage of a beautiful view and a relatively remote location. There weren't many people along the way. Fang Youxi switched to the driver's seat, started the car, gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and closed her eyes to calm herself down.

She hadn't touched a car in several years.

I've wanted to try it several times before, since driving myself would be much more convenient, but it still doesn't work.

Mu Wangbei is sitting next to her now. It's only a short distance of a few kilometers to the main road, so she should be fine.

Fang Youxi wasn't driving fast, but her palms were already sweating. After driving for two kilometers, a car behind her honked twice, probably trying to overtake. She gritted her teeth and stepped on the gas, but the car behind her suddenly accelerated and overtook her. As it passed by their car, it honked again with a long honk. Fang Youxi suddenly screamed and slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop. Both of them leaned forward due to the backward force, and Mu Wangbei instinctively stretched out an arm to shield her.

"What's wrong, Tangtang?" Mu Wangbei immediately shifted gears, pressed the ignition switch, and then turned on the hazard lights for emergency braking. Fortunately, the car was still close to the side of the road, and it wasn't a problem for a car to pass by.

He touched Fang Youxi's hand; it was ice-cold.

"Was Tangtang scared?" Mu Wangbei unbuckled his seatbelt and went to hug her. "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

Fang Youxi was drenched in cold sweat, her face deathly pale.

The moment the driver behind her overtook her and honked his horn, she felt as if she had been transported back to the day of her car accident many years ago. She was suddenly terrified and instinctively slammed on the brakes.

Mu Wangbei realized something was wrong; this wasn't the reaction a normal driver should have, but rather something like post-traumatic stress disorder.

No wonder Fang Youxi always takes taxis rather than drives herself. There are several taxis parked in the courtyard of the Tang family's old house, but she has never chosen one to use herself.

He stroked her hair and kissed her forehead to comfort her, saying, "What's wrong? It's all my fault. We should have just called a designated driver. It's all my fault. How are you?"

Fang Youxi's heartbeat calmed down after a while. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

"Can you tell me? Has something happened to you before? Tangtang, can you tell me? I'm your boyfriend."

Fang Youxi looked into Mu Wangbei's eyes, which were full of anxiety and heartache. She forced a smile and said, "It's alright. He was in a car accident before, so he might have some psychological trauma."

"When did this happen?"

"It's been many years, when I was eighteen or nineteen."

"So you haven't touched a car all these years?"

"Hmm." Fang Youxi nodded: "I get a little nervous as soon as I grip the steering wheel. I keep thinking about the car accident that day. Oh well, I'll just not drive anymore."

Mu Wangbei's heart clenched. An ordinary accident wouldn't cause such psychological trauma; it must have been a very serious car accident.

"Was the injury serious? Are there any other problems? Have you seen a psychologist?"

The two were standing very close, and Fang Youxi gently pushed the other person away: "I don't remember it for many years. I'm really fine. You can call a designated driver or call for help. We can only wait here for a while."

She didn't want to talk about how she had been lying alone in the hospital for two months without anyone knowing, with no relatives by her side. Many things are in the past and will eventually pass, and thinking about them again would inevitably make her feel sad. But to bring this up specifically would be too sentimental and meaningless.

Mu Wangbei had a sullen face. He usually drove himself, and he didn't want to call the family driver or Mu Huai's driver, so as not to cause his family any trouble.

He took out his phone and sent Jiang Chengyun his location, asking him to arrange a driver to pick him up.

Then he got out of the car and opened the driver's side door, letting Fang Youxi go to the back seat. He took a triangle from the trunk and placed it in the back. This was a small two-lane road, and there weren't many people around, so there wouldn't be any danger sitting in the car.

After he finished, he opened the car door and sat in the back. Seeing Fang Youxi huddled up, looking somewhat downcast, he went over and hugged her, gently reasoning with her: "Tangtang, I don't want our relationship to be just about physical intimacy. If something's wrong, tell me. Whether you're unhappy or happy, if you're having trouble getting over something, don't hide it from me. I still feel scared thinking about what you just did. If I hadn't been there for you, I can't imagine what you would have done driving alone in that situation. Please tell me, okay?"
