After saying this, Lu Xiuyun focused on driving and said nothing more. The atmosphere inside the car grew increasingly oppressive; it was so quiet that the only sounds were the low hum of the engine and their steady breathing.
Seeing this, Su Li simply decided to stop talking as well. She turned her head toward the window, watching the streetscape blur past, her heart a tangled mess of emotions. She could not fathom what Lu Xiuyun was thinking, nor did she want to expend any more effort trying to find a topic to break the silence. In the past, Lu Xiuyun had never run out of things to say to her, but this cold indifference now made him feel like a stranger. She couldn't be bothered to ask where he was taking her, figuring that since she was already in the car, she would just go along with it. In any case, they had an auction to attend that afternoon, and she knew Lu Xiuyun wouldn't let that be delayed.
She spent the time mentally organizing the details for the afternoon auction, trying to ignore the strange tension radiating from the man beside her.
