The shop closes at midnight.

Several employees in the shop finished cleaning and left.

I finished counting today's accounts and was the last one to lock the door and leave.

I was planning to go to the roadside to catch a taxi.

Unexpectedly, a car parked by the roadside suddenly rolled down the window.

Gu Ran's face appeared before me.

"You treated me to a meal, so I should be able to give you a ride home, right?"

I didn't intend to refuse, so I directly opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

On the way, we chatted casually about our recent lives.

Like old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, even if we occasionally fall into silence, it doesn't feel awkward.

The car arrived at the entrance of the residential area.

After thanking Gu Ran, I prepared to get off the car.

Just before I pushed open the car door, several flashes of light lit up from the front windshield.

I stopped my movement and instinctively looked toward the source of the light.

I saw Li Xianming standing in the darkness with a sly smile on his face, holding his phone and continuously taking photos.

Gu Ran was initially puzzled.

Later, judging from my reaction, he also guessed that the person in front of the car was my husband.

"Do you need help?" he asked me.

"No, after I get off the car, you directly drive away without stopping," I said, then quickly pushed open the car door and got off.

Li Xianming rushed over at that moment, holding his phone up and switching to the video recording mode, wanting to aim the camera at my face. He also provided commentary, saying, "Take a good look, this is my good wife, Fang Huai! She leaves early and returns late every day, and finally today, I caught her red-handed, turns out she was having an affair with a man!"

As he spoke, he also wanted to turn the camera towards Gu Ran.

Fortunately, Gu Ran, following my earlier instructions, immediately turned the car around and accelerated away.

Li Xianming only managed to capture the back of the car.

"It doesn't matter, even if we can't see the man's face, seeing his license plate number is enough," Li Xianming said, a sinister smile appearing on the corner of his mouth as he satisfiedly put away his phone.
