Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Already More Entangled and Chaotic

’Perfume’ bar wasn’t the only one—there were two franchise locations in W City. The two bars were thirty kilometers apart.

Even if one could drive from one bar to the other without hitting a red light, at a speed of forty miles per hour, it would still take forty-five minutes.

Last night she had waited for Gu Yixuan in the bar for about half an hour. This meant that it had only taken him half an hour to drive from his office or home to the other bar, spend time looking for her, not find her, and then drive to the bar where she was.

That would imply his car was traveling at over a hundred miles per hour!

That speed was too terrifying. Even on highways, one is not allowed to exceed a hundred and twenty miles per hour. Last night, Gu Yixuan, on the busy city streets, drove at highway speeds—just thinking about it was frightening.

He didn’t have a car accident; he really must have had some good karma from his past life...

The other call was from the principal, who said that the higher-ups had issued a new directive: Qinghua Middle School didn’t need to be demolished. The principal thanked her profusely on the phone, telling her that she could come back to teach anytime she wanted, and that her salary would remain at eight thousand a month.

After hanging up, Mo Ran thought to herself that she couldn’t possibly go back to teaching anymore. Being a teacher had become complicated for her, and there was no point in going back.

After some time, she would find a new job. She could be an office worker, or do odd jobs—anything would do, as long as she could earn her living with her own two hands.

After eating lunch, she sat on the couch in the living room watching TV. Around seven o’clock, her mobile phone rang again.

Seeing that familiar name on the screen, her heart clenched suddenly, and her fingers trembled.

It was a call from Tang Song...
