Chapter 1033: Stress Response

“Sir?”

The driver sensed something unusual.

Gao Zhe calmly withdrew his gaze, “Pull over to the side of the road.”

The driver didn’t ask more questions, and after the streetlights, he steered the car out of the traffic, parking in a spot.

Ye Wanting still hugged herself; suddenly, a piece of clothing was draped over her.

She seemed like a startled bird, her whole body curled in fear, even her toes trembled, her drooping gaze catching sight of feet standing right in front of her.

A scream almost reached her lips, but she was too frightened and swallowed it back.

In a panic, she looked up to see a completely unfamiliar face.

She immediately bent her body, crawling along the edge of the flower terrace to the other side, sitting against the corner.

The driver was stunned, his hand still hovering in mid-air, turning back to look at the man standing a few steps away, “Sir, I didn’t do anything.”

Just draped a piece of clothing over her, and she got scared like this?

Gao Zhe glanced back.

Gesturing the driver to move further away.

Then he walked to a spot three steps away from Ye Wanting and stood still.

“Miss Ye, I am Gao Zhe, Zhenzhen’s fiancé.”

He tilted his head down slightly, unable to see her face clearly.

As he spoke, Ye Wanting heard him, perhaps a reflex response from her body; upon hearing his voice, she instinctively buried her head in her knees.

Hugging herself tightly, her foot unable to hold on slipped off the edge, she immediately lifted her foot back, hiding towards the bush behind her.

Trying to conceal herself.

Gao Zhe realized something was wrong, “Should I call Zhenzhen over?”

Ye Wanting did not respond.

Gao Zhe went aside to make a phone call.

Once the call connected, he called out, “Baby, I’ll send you a location, come over.”

Half an hour later, Lu Zhenzhen drove over, wearing a burgundy pajama set, with a long-sleeved garment draped outside, not even buttoned, vaguely revealing the camisole dress inside.

The down-playing pleats from the wavy pattern rested on her chest.

Hugging herself, she gathered her outer clothes lightly.

Though the cold wind had kept her awake all the way, her expression remained sour.

From the moment her car appeared, Gao Zhe noticed her.

When she got out of the car, his facial expression darkened slightly, and he promptly walked quickly towards her, taking off his jacket and draping it over her shoulders.

“Why did you come out dressed like that?”

“Where’s the young girl you asked me to pick up?”

Lu Zhenzhen had a heavy case of waking-up grumpiness; her first words were far from pleasant, “Why, can’t handle it in the middle of the night, so you called me to clean up after you?”

Gao Zhe tapped her forehead with two fingers bent, “Can’t you think better of me, suspecting I’m cheating every day?”

Lu Zhenzhen snuggled into his arms, “Block the wind, will you?”

Gao Zhe habitually embraced her, patting her shoulder, indicating her to look ahead.

“Seems to be Jiaojiao’s classmate, might have encountered something, go check on her.”

Lu Zhenzhen’s expression turned serious, briskly walking towards Ye Wanting.

Gao Zhe always shielded her; only stopping a few steps away when they got close.

Lu Zhenzhen bent down to talk to Ye Wanting, who remained unresponsive.

As if her mental state had suffered serious damage, it was estimated that nothing much could be asked.

Lu Zhenzhen coaxed and persuaded Ye Wanting to get into the car.

She and Gao Zhe had houses everywhere, but they rarely stayed there anymore, and no one cleans them.

Lu Zhenzhen was too lazy to think about passwords.

Upon reflection, Feisheng was nearby, and Chu Yao’s place happened to be vacant.

After arrival, Lu Zhenzhen asked Gao Zhe to wait in her car.

She took Ye Wanting upstairs.

Possibly due to familiarity with the route, Ye Wanting gradually relaxed.

As the door opened, Lu Zhenzhen turned on the lights in the entryway and living room.

Ye Wanting suddenly grasped her hand and said something.
