With a ‘snap’, the clear sound of a metal buckle echoed inside the enclosed car, and it’s only then that Gu Qianqian’s unfocused eyes suddenly snapped back into focus.
And then….
She finally understood the two words he had just said, ‘Buckle up’, he was telling her to fasten her seatbelt.
But even if he’s stingy with his words, shouldn’t he have made it less confusing?
If he had explained it clearly to her, she wouldn’t have misunderstood that he wanted to…
Feeling a hot flush creep up her neck, Gu Qianqian quickly turned her head away, her pale ears instantly tinted with a touch of pink.
Ah!
Oh dear!
She must be losing her mind, otherwise, why would she ever think that Lu Zhanbei had ‘special’ feelings for her?
Feeling utterly embarrassed, she stuttered a ‘thank you’.
Hearing her, the usually cold man didn’t say a word.
He silently started the car and headed straight down the road.
After the car had been moving for a long time, Gu Qianqian finally gathered courage to call out his name softly, “Lu Zhanbei….”
She received no response from him, and so she ventured to ask the question she had been holding back for a while: “Where are you taking me?”
“School!”
At this, Gu Qianqian’s black, crystal-like eyes brightened instantly: “Did you…. really arrange a meeting with the school’s board of directors to discuss my admission?”
She had assumed that he had said those things in front of Lu Yebai and Fu Jingchen just to help her get out of a difficult situation, but now she realized he might not have been joking. This chapter was copied from novelping dot com without permission.
“Hmm!”
Her eyes shone again: “Really?”
Hearing her, the man of few words turned his head towards her.
His deep, unfathomable eyes fixed on her, he counter questioned: “Do you need to keep confirming?
Don’t you trust me?”
Gu Qianqian: “…”
It’s not that she didn’t want to trust him, but they had only met yesterday, hadn’t they?
For a person she barely knew, she really didn’t have any reason to trust him, did she?
Moreover, his attitude towards her yesterday had been less than friendly.
Lost in her thoughts, the man with his hand on the steering wheel spoke again: “If you want a smooth admission process, behave yourself and don’t nag me.”
“Oh!”
Gingerly nodding her head, Gu Qianqian realized she must have appeared rather naive.
Having mulled over it, she added hesitantly: “Thank you!”
Hearing this, Lu Zhanbei didn’t speak again….

This situation was a difficult one to deal with.
So Gu Qianqian had never expected Lu Zhanbei to find her a good school.
She felt that any school willing to admit her and provide her with an exam permit would be enough.
But Lu Zhanbei drove straight to Jing City’s First Noble School.
Jing City’s First Noble School!
This was the best and most prestigious school in Jing City, where half the students were said to be admitted to the Business College!
How could the school she was set to join be so grand and renowned?
Unable to believe this was really happening, Lu Zhanbei took less than two hours to help her sort out all the transfer procedures.
He even got her the school uniform.
As she held the bag containing her uniform, Gu Qianqian was afraid to even breathe: “That’s… it?”
“What else?”
His calm voice softened Gu Qianqian’s heart: “I didn’t think it would be this simple…”
What she was even less prepared for was the fact that, he became the first person to treat her kindly since she came to Jing City.
