“When have I ever deceived you?”
As he spoke, he even placed a kiss on her forehead.
Xia Xiaoxiao was already enveloped in sudden happiness.
The words Bai Qingzhu had just spoken, she considered to be nothing but hot air, and at the same time, she really wanted to prove to Bai Qingzhu that Xiao Yeli was serious about her – let her be consumed with jealousy, envy, and hatred!
…
A car stopped next to Bai Qingzhu, the window rolled down, and it was Xiao Lijin.
“Ready to see my grandmother for treatment?”
Right, she had completely forgotten, she had even heard that both young masters from the Xiao Family were here.
She also suddenly understood why the Xiao Family would adopt another – this Xiao Lijin was gay.
If he didn’t carry on the family line, then the Xiao Family would be finished.
Also, speaking of which, was it possible that the Xiao Family knew about his sexual orientation and thus sought out Dongfang Ling to cover for him?
No, she couldn’t let Dongfang Ling marry him – that would be setting a trap for him, wouldn’t it?
Seeing she was not talking, and not knowing what she was thinking, but knowing that she definitely was going to his place at this hour.
“Get in the car!”
Bai Qingzhu glanced at him, and thinking about him being with other men in that way, she felt uncomfortable all over and shivered before saying:
“No need, I can get there myself.”
She walked a few steps forward, his car slowed down a bit and followed close behind.
He said, “It’ll take you almost half an hour by bus from here, and your appointment is at eleven, right?
It’s already ten forty.
My grandmother is someone who especially dislikes people being late; I think it’s better if you ride in my car.”
“Can’t I just take a taxi?”
Unlike other places, transportation here is exceptionally developed.
“It will take you ten minutes to walk to a place where you can get a taxi, plus another fifteen minutes by car – you’ll still be late.
Miss Bai, does taking my car repulse you that much?”
“If Mr.
Xiao is so self-aware, then please go ahead!”
Bai Qingzhu made a gesture with her hand.
Xiao Lijin shook his head helplessly.
There were plenty of women who wanted to ride in his car, and so far, he hadn’t allowed a single one to ride – he was merely being proactive because she was his grandmother’s lifesaver, yet she wouldn’t give him face.
He stopped the car, undid his seatbelt, opened the door, and stepped out.
He approached Bai Qingzhu, swept her up in one fell swoop, and strode towards the passenger’s side.
Bai Qingzhu was in a dazed state for a long time until she came to her senses and started to struggle: “Xiao Lijin, put me down.”
Xiao Lijin put her down – but on the seat of the car, proficiently buckling her up with the seatbelt.
“Xiao Lijin, what are you doing?”
“I advise you to be quiet.
Otherwise…”
They were only a few centimeters apart.
Bai Qingzhu could acutely feel his masculine warmth; her cheeks were scorching.
Her mind was even flashing back to that kiss from yesterday.
No, that wasn’t right – he was gay.
How could she have any reaction to his kiss?
“Your face is red.”
He didn’t move away; instead, the corners of his mouth held a faint smile.
Bai Qingzhu felt like her secrets were pierced through, but she still deliberately hid her inner emotions and said, “This is because you’ve angered me.”
“If you behaved a little, all this could’ve been avoided.”
This damn man!
He gently patted her shoulder and whispered in her ear, “So, how was my kissing technique?”
