Wen Nuan thought for a moment and said, “Ling’er, how about staying at my place? If it gets too late, my brother can drop you off.”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and replied, “Wen Mo has his own things to do. 1 already sent a message to the driver while you were washing up. He’ll be here at 8:30. It should take around 20 minutes, and if there’s no traffic, he’ll be here soon.”

Wen Nuan didn’t want Jiang Ling’er to leave but she had no choice, so she said, “Then let’s wait for the driver to arrive.”

Jiang Ling’er said, “Alright, I’ll wait for the driver to call me before leaving. It’s a bit cold outside, and I’m not going to stand in the cold like a fool.”

Wen Nuan suggested, “While we wait, why don’t we watch TV together? The show you had a cameo in has already aired.”

Jiang Ling’er, somewhat embarrassed, said, “For that TV show, 1 only had three scenes. I played the role of a henchman at the female supporting character’s house. Two of the scenes were masked, and the only one where my face is visible, my character dies tragically.”

Wen Nuan facepalmed and said, “Didn’t you say you had a lot of fun doing that show?”

Jiang Ling’er explained, “I did, 1 also worked as a martial arts consultant and directed the fight scenes, which was really fun. I got to show off some moves.”

Wen Nuan sighed in frustration, thinking she might have overreacted, “Alright, I overreacted, you were just having fun.”

Wen Nuan asked, “So, in which TV show did you have more substantial roles?”

Jiang Ling’er thought for a moment and then said, “Funny you should mention it; there is a TV show where 1 played multiple roles. I was a street beggar, a hotel heiress, and even a prison guard.”

Wen Nuan rolled her eyes, saying, “So, you were an extra there?”

Jiang Ling’er nodded, “Yes, I was just an extra, but in that show, 1 played many different characters, so 1 had more face time.”

Wen Nuan raised an eyebrow, puzzled, “Didn’t a director ask you for a cameo before?”

Jiang Ling’er thought for a moment and said, “Yes, that’s true. But that show hasn’t aired yet. 1 played the role of a general’s wife in that one. My screen time is limited because it’s just a cameo.”

The two of them continued chatting, forgetting about the time.

When Jiang Ling’er finally realized the time, it was almost 10:00 PM.

She was expecting her driver to arrive promptly, but there was no sign of him. This puzzled her, so she quickly took out her phone. Her battery was still above 60%, and her phone wasn’t turned off. There was signal coverage, yet there were no text messages or missed calls.

Jiang Ling’er furrowed her brow. Her driver was typically very punctual, and even if he couldn’t make it at the last moment, he would inform her. However, it had been quite a while now, and there was no communication. Could there have been an accident?

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Ling’er stood up and said, “Nuannuan, I should head back.”

Wen Nuan also got up and asked, “Is it already time? Why isn’t your driver here yet?”

“I’ll give him a call.” Jiang Ling’er said after some slight hesitation.

She dialed her driver’s number but his phone was switched off.

Wen Nuan furrowed her brow and commented, “Switched off? It’s not even that late.”

Jiang Ling’er explained, “It doesn’t seem right. This hasn’t happened before, but it’s after working hours, so turning off the phone is normal. I can take a taxi myself.”

Although the driver had mentioned that his phone was on 24/7, there could be situations where it was inconvenient to use or needed charging.

“Okay, then I’ll send you downstairs,” Wen Nuan said.

Upon seeing her daughter come down, Mrs. Wen immediately said excitedly, “Nuannuan, ow are you feeling? Did you eat?”

Wen Nuan shook her head and said, “Mom, I’m fine, no need to worry.”

Wen Nuan turned to Jiang Ling’er and said, “Ling’er, let my brother drive you, okay?”

Jiang Ling’er quickly responded, “There’s no need, 1 can take a taxi. You’re still weak, so you should go rest. I need to get back; otherwise, my grandpa will worry.”

Wen Mo then said, “Ling’er, 1’11 take you home.”

His tone allowed no room for refusal. Jiang Ling’er felt a bit helpless and replied, “Wen Mo, I can manage on my own.”

Wen Nuan pulled Jiang Ling’er’s hand and said, “Ling’er, don’t be so polite with my brother. Otherwise, he’ll feel like you’re treating us as outsiders.”

Wen Mo felt somewhat awkward at his sister’s words. If Jiang Ling’er continued to decline the offer, it would indeed be uncomfortable.

Jiang Ling’er smiled and understood that she shouldn’t refuse anymore.

Jiang Ling’er said, “All right then, Wen Mo, thanks for making the trip.”

Wen Mo responded with satisfaction, “You’re very obedient.”

After bidding farewell to Old Master Wen, Mr. and Mrs. Wen, Jiang Ling’er left with Wen Mo.

Around thirty minutes later, Wen Mo dropped Jiang Ling’er off at her home.

When Jiang Ling’er entered her house, she saw her grandfather studying a chess game. She said, “Grandpa, I’m back.. It’s quite late; why aren’t you resting?”
