Bai Zhi immediately changed into the red coat she'd bought yesterday, grabbed her wallet and phone, and headed out the door without even putting on any makeup.
She had only walked into the living room when Mrs. Duan called out to her.
"What are you doing? We're about to eat."
Changing her shoes, Bai Zhi explained, "Mom, I've got something urgent, I need to go out for a bit. You and my dad go ahead and eat, don't wait for me."
Afraid Mother Bai would start nagging again, she hurriedly pushed the door open and slipped out.
After running out of the compound, she quickly hailed a cab and headed for the place where Duan Xingzhi was.
On the morning of the first day of the lunar new year, the traffic was like a sea. The cab kept getting stuck in jams, and Bai Zhi sat in the back, so anxious she could hardly stand it. She was afraid Duan Xingzhi would be waiting too long, and she was dying to see him as soon as possible.
