Gu Qili found Mu Shuoqian's behavior somewhat amusing and frustrating at the same time.
In the midst of the conversation, Chen Yishu, who had gone to fetch his car, suddenly ran over, looking annoyed as he said, "My tire blew out, let's take a taxi instead."
No one really thought about why Chen Yishu's car would have a blowout for no reason; they simply headed to the roadside and flagged down a cab.
After arriving at the KTV, Gu Qili remembered she hadn't said goodbye when she left, so she sent another message on WeChat: I'm at Qian's singing KTV, you can go back after you're done eating, don't worry about me.
Having sent the message, Gu Qili was a bit scared that Mu Shuoqian would follow her again, but it turned out she was overthinking it. Mu Shuoqian did not show up; he really disliked such flashy places and only hung out with Nan Zhan and his group in private.
Mu Shuoqian not showing up put Gu Qili in a great mood, feeling like she had regained long-lost freedom.
