No Love, No Joy

Episode 2

The second time Su Yun saw the man, he was standing next to a low-key car smoking.

The smoke slowly exhaled, and his eyes were light and indifferent as he watched the cars coming and going in the service area.

For some unknown reason, Su Yun suddenly felt that the weather didn't seem so hot anymore.

But the heartbeat accelerated.

On the other end of the radio, Tian Tian finally finished her own business and continued to invite her credit, saying how difficult she was and how many people she had traveled to before asking about Jiang Mucheng's itinerary.

Su Yun listened to Tian Tian's chatter, but with all her heart and soul, she looked at the man again.

Upon inspection, she was less than eight meters away from the man.

Su Yun lowered her head and glanced at the eye-catching thread on her skirt, while the bus she was riding on honked desperately, signaling that passengers should board.

Su Yun didn't get on the car, but she walked towards the man by a strange coincidence.

The man turned his face when he heard the sound, his eyes puzzled, but he didn't make a sound.

Su Yun pointed to his cigarette and said, "Can you lend me one?"

The man was slightly stunned, and finally gave her the cigarette and lighter together.

On the phone, Tian Tian asked her, "Who are you talking to?"

Su Yun: "I'm in the service area, asking someone to borrow something."

Tian Tian didn't ask any more questions and then said, "Su Su, please wait a moment. We have the latest news from Jiang Mucheng in our WeChat group again."

Su Yun had already lit her cigarette and took a puff, imitating the way the man smoked just now. She didn't know how to smoke and almost choked to death.

I keep coughing non-stop.

The man frowned slightly.

Su Yun felt awkward and embarrassed.

She returned the lighter to the man and thanked him.

The man took the lighter and didn't say anything.

Su Yun coughed twice to conceal her unnatural feelings, then bent slightly and pulled up the thread. With a gentle touch of the crimson cigarette butt, the thread fell off.

At this moment, the window of the low-key luxury car was lowered, and there was a man in the back seat who shouted out of the window, "Fourth Brother, your phone." He then handed his phone out of the window.

The man had a cigarette in his hand and was playing with a lighter with the other hand. He didn't answer his phone and said to the man in the car, "Keep sleeping."

Su Yun glanced at the person in the car, but couldn't see what they looked like clearly. The red shirt on his body snatched the mirror.

The enthusiasm of the man in the wine red shirt was dampened, and after glancing at Su Yun without a trace, he uninteresting climbed up the car window.

The conductor of the bus shouted loudly, urging those who had not yet boarded to board the bus quickly.

Su Yun nodded again to the man smoking as a gesture of gratitude, then slowly turned around and walked towards the bus.

Tian Tian was very excited after reading the news in the WeChat group, but her voice was low: "Su Su, you really have a connection with Jiang Mucheng. He went to your hometown these days."

Suyun didn't wait for Tian Tian to finish speaking, and her heart skipped a beat. Without thinking, she said, "What are you saying? Jiang Mucheng went to my hometown? He couldn't be following me, could he?"

The man standing by the car smoking, upon hearing this, his hand movements slightly slowed down and he looked up at Su Yun's back.

On Su Yun's side, after finishing speaking, she felt a bit inappropriate and funny.

I keep coughing non-stop.

The man frowned slightly.

Su Yun felt awkward and embarrassed.

She returned the lighter to the man and thanked him.

The man took the lighter and didn't say anything.

Su Yun coughed twice to conceal her unnatural feelings, then bent slightly and pulled up the thread. With a gentle touch of the crimson cigarette butt, the thread fell off.

At this moment, the window of the low-key luxury car was lowered, and there was a man in the back seat who shouted out of the window, "Fourth Brother, your phone." He then handed his phone out of the window.

The man standing by the car smoking, upon hearing this, his hand movements slightly slowed down and he looked up at Su Yun's back.

On Su Yun's side, after finishing speaking, she felt a bit inappropriate and funny.

Without waiting for Tian Tian's teasing words to come out, Su Yun quickly explained, "My mind has been clouded by the sun. He is the chairman of the board of directors of Zhongchuan Group, and even if he wants to settle accounts with me, he will personally follow him."

Tian Tian couldn't help but ridicule, "Do you still have a bit of self-awareness? I've told you so. He's also using his fingers to settle accounts with you. He's going back to your hometown to investigate the site selection of a project, and he's probably going back to Beijing after being busy for a while."

Su Yun remained silent and had already boarded the car to sit in her seat bathed in the sun.

She rubbed her heart. Since seeing that man just now, she has felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, accompanied by palpitations. Is it heatstroke in the hot weather?

Tian Tian continued, "It doesn't matter if you leave a message, it has ruined his reputation. Those malicious little internet celebrities who want to take the opportunity to become famous claim to have slept with Jiang Mucheng."

Although the air conditioning in the car was not as sufficient, Su Yun felt extremely cold.

The bus has already left the service area.

The man standing by the car casually threw his cigarette butt into the trash can, but his gaze remained unclear as he looked in the direction of the bus's departure.

At this moment, the man in the wine red shirt lowered the car window again, because the woman's words had also drifted into the car just now. He heard them clearly, and his smile almost changed. He joked, "Brother, when did you become a stalker?"

Jiang Mucheng glanced sideways at the man in the wine red shirt and remained silent.

Lin Yue couldn't help but want to laugh, thinking that the woman didn't even know what Jiang Mucheng looked like, and even suspected that Jiang Mucheng was following her, which made him find it interesting.

So he gloated and said, "Fourth brother, if that woman finds out in the future that you are Jiang Mucheng, what would she feel like?"

Jiang Mucheng stared at Lin Yue for a few seconds, then silently opened the car door and sat in.

Lin Yue asked humbly, "Fourth Brother, should we catch up with that bus?"

Jiang Mucheng finally spoke up and said, "Have you had enough to eat?"

Lin Yue: "..."

But he still didn't give up and continued to ask Jiang Mucheng, "You don't want to know who that woman is?"

"I don't want to."

Lin Yue brushed a nose of dust and turned his face to look out of the car window in a casual manner.

However, inexplicably, his brain unconsciously replayed the comical and hilarious scene in the service area just now.

That woman is not only interesting, but also unforgettable.

She is wearing clothes that are very cheap and have rough workmanship and texture, which cannot conceal her unique temperament emanating from the inside out.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Lin Yue felt that her eyebrows looked particularly like an actress.

The specific actress had a short circuit in her brain for a moment and couldn't remember.

Anyway, that actress's name is very familiar. He accidentally watched a martial arts film played by that little actress, which was good and had potential.

At this moment, Jiang Mucheng's phone rang again.

A long string of numbers without a name, but he remembers this number. It's Ye Qinglan's personal number, which she called a few times before.
