You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 55 Part 3

Xu Huaisong was quiet for a moment before saying: “I have to go to the US in a few days. I worry about you staying here since Wei Jin’s still around. Do you want to go with me? You can apply for an expedited passport and I have ways to get the visa quickly.”

It was the same matter that Ruan Yu intended to talk to him about yesterday. Since Xu Huaisong brought it up on his own, Ruan Yu replied without any hesitation: “Sure!” After a short pause, she turned around to say: “I have my passport already. You just make sure I get the visa.”

Xu Huaisong truly knew some good connections in the US as Ruan Yu got her visa not by going through the back door but at the speed of an airplane.

Everything happened too quickly for Ruan Yu. When she was on her way to the airport with her luggage a few days later, she still hadn’t gotten over the thought that she was on her way to the US. But she was in a much better mood by now.

What was there to be hesitant about? It wasn’t too late to give serious consideration about her future starting now, Ruan Yu thought to herself. It would be better, than mulling over the unknown, to walk through the path he had gone before and experience the life he had. Then, maybe everything would be clear to her.

It was still quite warm in September in Hang City. Ruan Yu was sitting on the passenger side in Xu Huaisong’s car with the air conditioning on. While they were waiting for the traffic light, Ruan Yu opened the car window and reached out to feel the wind outside: “Is the temperature in San Francisco very different from here?”

Xu Huaisong had told her to pack several sweaters and windbreaker jackets in her luggage.

“It will be a bit chilly in the morning and at night.” Xu Huaisong gave her a glance: “Car’s moving now. Pull your hand back in.”

Ruan Yu: “Oh.” She looked forward and found a long line of cars packed in front of them. The car was moving slowly. She looked down at her cell phone to check the time.

“We’ll make it. The traffic will be better after we get over this section.” Noticing that Ruan Yu seemed to be enjoying the natural wind more, Xu Huaisong turned off the air conditioning and followed the traffic. Half an hour later, the traffic began to lessen around them. Especially when they drove onto the bay bridge, there were only a few cars in front of them but hardly any cars behind.

Ruan Yu took a look at the back and asked: “Why is the bridge so empty on a weekend?” Before Xu Huaisong could answer, she thought about something: “Wait, how long have you had your license? Can you drive on the freeway yet?”

Xu Huaisong looked at her: “Haven’t you had your license for seven years?”

Hrm, new drivers during the probation period could drive on the freeway only when accompanied by experienced drivers.

Ruan Yu glanced at him: “This is probably the real reason you brought me along!”

Xu Huaisong smiled and didn’t say anything.

After driving for a dozen kilometers, the wind from the sea became uncomfortable on the face since the car was driving much faster now. Ruan Yu brought the window up so that it was almost closed.

There was no car behind them. But there was a slow moving black BMW in front of them.

The BMW was moving at the lowest speed limit. It was quite annoying following the car in front.

Xu Huaisong checked the time and switched on the turn signal to go past it. When both cars were in parallel, Ruan Yu subconsciously turned her head to look at the driver of the BMW.

She shivered.

Xu Huaisong had moved ahead of the car and noticed Ruan Yu’s unusual reaction. He asked: “What’s wrong?”

“The person in that car looks like Wei Jin……”

She couldn’t be sure since they passed each other within the span of a few seconds. Yet, the person’s look did alarm her.

Xu Huaisong didn’t have much reaction to it: “Didn’t Li Shican say a few days ago that he’s going out of the country? Maybe he’s heading towards the airport as well.”

Ruan Yu nodded and took a look at the car in the rear view mirror.

However, she found the BMW was driving erratically, sometimes fast, sometimes slow and swaying from side to side. From time to time, the car would drive onto the next lane then barely correct it back as if the driver was drunk.

Ruan Yu was about to ask what was going on when she saw Xu Huaisong’s frown as he took a look at the car in the rear view mirror.
