Yang Danning suppressed her irritable mood and said to Madame Ma, "You can go back first. I'm going to the mall for a bit, just to unwind."
Madame Ma dared not voice any opinion, afraid of further upsetting Yang Danning. She swallowed her words of advice, "Alright, have the driver take you there. I'll take a cab home."
Yang Danning nodded and said 'Mmhm', then turned on her heel and walked briskly towards the elevator.
At the elevator entrance, she caught sight of two familiar figures entering. As the doors closed, her hands clenched into fists with frustration.

Harsh words not only hurt others but also oneself.
Throughout the ride, Ji Anning leaned against the car window, unsmiling. She couldn't deny being provoked by Yang Danning's words.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ji Chicheng had been observing Ji Anning the whole way and, after ending his fifth call, he switched his phone to silent mode and asked her.
He seemed intent on having a serious talk with her.
