Chapter 185 Escape
Chapter 185 Escape
After entering the residential building, Ouyang Mengmian did not go back to her room directly, but stood quietly in the stairwell upstairs. She tried to tiptoe and stretched her neck to look downstairs. Time passed by, she had been upstairs for a while, but Xu Lingfeng's car was still parked in the same place without moving.
Ouyang Mengmian couldn't help but feel anxious. She had originally planned to wait until Xu Lingfeng left before going to the apartment to avoid being discovered by him. However, at this moment, since Xu Lingfeng had not left yet, she was in a dilemma: if she went downstairs now, she would probably run into Xu Lingfeng; but if she continued to wait here, she didn't know how long she would have to wait.
Just as Ouyang Mengmian was hesitating, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps near the corridor. Her heart tightened, and she immediately turned around and hid in the corner, staring at the staircase nervously.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally a strange figure appeared in her sight. It turned out to be just an ordinary resident passing by, and Ouyang Mengmian breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked downstairs again, and Xu Lingfeng's car was still parked there quietly. However, due to the angle and the limitation of her sight, she could only see part of the car and could not see the situation inside the car clearly.
Ouyang Mengmian was a little worried. She didn't understand why Xu Lingfeng hadn't left yet. She began to consider various possibilities: Maybe he was waiting for someone? Maybe there was something wrong with the car? Or...he was waiting for her on purpose?
These thoughts swirled in Ouyang Mengmian's mind, making her feel uneasy. She bit her lip and secretly thought about what to do next - maybe she could sneak out when Xu Lingfeng wasn't paying attention? Or just wait until he left before taking action?
She knew she couldn't just wait like this, but at the same time she was worried that if she went downstairs rashly, she would accidentally run into Xu Lingfeng - she didn't want to cause Xu Lingfeng to misunderstand and think that she went downstairs to see him; she also didn't want to spend time explaining to him why she went downstairs, and maybe her plan to go to the apartment might be ruined.
Ouyang Mengmian took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that the most important thing now was to find out what Xu Lingfeng was doing. So she decided to take some action.
She walked briskly down the stairs and soon reached the first floor. She walked carefully to the door of the building, quietly looked through the gap in the door, and carefully observed the movements outside the building.
Ouyang Mengmian pressed herself against the crack of the door, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she stared intently at the scene outside. She didn't dare to be careless, for fear of missing any important details.
Xu Lingfeng's car was still parked quietly on the roadside, like a silent sculpture, without any sign of movement. She turned her body slightly, adjusted the angle, and tried to peek into the car through the gap in the window. Unfortunately, the window was closed, like a solid wall, blocking her view.
As time went by, Ouyang Mengmian's heartbeat gradually accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. She knew that she couldn't just wait endlessly like this, and she had to make a decisive decision. After a lot of inner struggle, she finally made up her mind and prepared to take an adventure.
She pushed open the seemingly heavy door lightly, slowly poked her head out, and scanned the environment around the car with a sharp gaze. Every subtle movement was extremely cautious, and at the same time, she was ready to retreat at any time to deal with any unexpected situation.
However, just when Ouyang Mengmian stuck his head out, he suddenly found that Xu Lingfeng's familiar car had slowly started up and quickly drove away!
Watching the car go farther and farther away until it disappeared, Ouyang Mengmian breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thanking herself: Fortunately, he walked faster... Otherwise, if he found out that she was hiding here and peeking at him, wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but pat her chest gently to calm her still somewhat flustered heart.
After Xu Lingfeng's car left, Ouyang Mengmian finally felt relieved. She walked briskly out of the community, ready to take a taxi on the street.
