Ning Wei was shocked to hear Feng An Yu's words.
Their eyes met for a fleeting second. Ning Wei was sure that Feng An Yu would not notice the change in her expression the moment she saw him. Unexpectedly, this man would know that she had recognized him the moment she laid eyes on him.
He was very observant, wasn't he?
Ning Wei pursed her lips as she wondered if she should continue to pretend and let Feng An Yu see it wrongly. Then, she could tell him that he had recognized the wrong person. But as she continued to look into Feng An Yu's eyes, Ning realized that continuing to pretend would only waste both of their time.
Right now, she was in a hurry.
Ning Wei flashed a smile as the thought came to her mind. "I didn't mean to pretend as if I did not recognize you. It's just that…" She paused to give Feng An Yu a lookover. "I did not expect to see you here." An awkward smile curled on her lips. "Are you here to look for someone?" Ning Wei asked, wanting to change the subject quickly. "Can I help you? "
Feng An Yu pursed his lips as he continued to observe Ning Wei.
"If there's nothing, then can I ask you to let me go?" Ning Wei glanced at the arm that Feng An Yu was holding. "I am in a hurry. There is another place I need to go."
Feng An Yu followed Ning Wei's line of gaze and frowned. He did not realize that he was still holding Ning Wei's arms. His brow furrowed when he realized that Ning Wei's arms were too thin. It felt as if Ning Wei's arms would break if he exerted any force on them. Finally, Feng An Yu released Ning Wei's hand. The moment he released her, Ning Wei turned around to leave.
"Wait."
Feng An Yu's voice made Ning Wei stop in her tracks. She turned around and shot Feng An Yu an inquiring look.
"I need to talk to you," Feng An Yu said.
Ning Wei looked at Feng An Yu speechlessly. "Look. I am really in a hurry. If I don't go now, I'm going to be late for my next appointment. My ride is going to be here soon." Ning Wei pulled her mask from her pocket and regretted that she had not put it on sooner.
"Where are you going?" Feng An Yu asked.
"The workshop." Ning Wei let out an exasperated sigh. " I'm going to fetch my baby." She pursed her lips while reminding herself not to give Feng An Yu too many details about herself. Ning Wei did not know why she was explaining her plan to this strange man. Wherever she was going, it was not his business.
"I'll give you a lift," Feng An Yu offered. "I won't let you be late to your appointment." Seeing that Ning Wei was staring at him without a reaction, Feng An Yu once again grabbed Ning Wei's arm and dragged her to his car. "Get in."
The sound of the door opening snapped Ning Wei out of her trance. She blinked and pulled her arms away from Feng An Yu's grip. This time, it was easier as Feng An Yu's grip was loose.
"Don't worry, I am not going to kidnap you. I just wanted to talk to you. We can talk while I send you wherever you are going," Feng An Yu said. "If this makes you uncomfortable, you can give my plate number to your friend." He pursed his lips, seeing that Ning Wei was not making another move. "Didn't you say that you are in a hurry?"
Just in time, the phone in Ning Wei's pocket beeped.
She pulled it out only to see a notification from an app, telling her that her driver would be late as there was traffic ahead. Ning Wei glanced at the time and realized that she needed to leave now if she wanted to talk to her mechanic. Or else, it would not be easy for her to get hold of her mechanic again.
"Alright then," Ning Wei said to Feng An Yu. "I'll go with you." She lowered her head to compose a text to Ling Shuang with Feng An Yu's plate. "We can talk," Ning Wei said. "But sir, if my friend did not hear from me in thirty minutes, he would call the police."
"Alright," Feng An Yu said with a shrug. "Do you need my name or my identification card?"
"No need."
Feng An Yu nodded towards the back seat, motioning Ning Wei to go in. He waited for Ning Wei to scoot in first before sliding in next to her.
Assistant Xiao Jin sat up straight when he saw another person entering the car. He could not hide his surprise when he recognized Ning Wei's face. Assistant Xiao Jin might not be a fan of Ning Wei. However, it was still an exciting experiment to meet a celebrity.
Moreover, the assistant did not expect that the young celebrity would follow his boss.
"Where are we going?" Feng An Yu asked Ning Wei.
Ning Wei reported the name of the workshop along with the address.
"You heard him," Feng An Yu said to his assistant. He met the assistant's eyes through the rear mirror. "Take us there."
"Yes, Mr. Feng." Assistant Xiao Jin nodded. He turned the ignition and drove away.
Ning Wei looked out the window before turning to Feng An Yu again. "Do you know me?"
Feng An Yu leaned on his seat as he gave Ning Wei a look over. "I know." Feng An Yu nodded. "Ning Wei, the youngest member of an idol group called DAWN."
The smile on Ning Wei's lips stiffened. Her heartbeat accelerated. Ning Wei could not explain the panic when she heard Feng An Yu's answer. The man's reply made her realize that this man had investigated her a little bit before he came to look for her.
Ning Wei tightened her hand into a fist as she reminded herself to stay calm. "Mister." She flashed Feng An Yu a smile that did not reach her eyes.
"Why are you looking for me?"
