“His mother gives it to him as a gift. He and Xiao Si are best friends. Not to mention, cars aren’t that big of a deal for them; they’ve shared pants before.”
Yi Jingxi’s handsome face wore a grim look. He guessed that the one who was driving the car was Xiao Si. Yi Jingxi knew Xiao Si as he had dined with him twice. He knew that Xiao Si, too, was very good-looking, not much worse than himself, and he had heard that Xiao Xi’s family was wealthy as well.
He was no better than Xiao Si.
“Alright, I get it. Don’t tell Xiaosi about this.” Yi Jingxi hung up the phone impatiently.
“Jingxi, I saw that.” Suddenly, someone patted him on his back. He turned back to find Zhong Yi standing behind him.
“What do you want now?” Yi Jingxi asked, his eyes showing coldness.
“That sports car looks expensive. I didn’t think Luosang could hook up with someone like that.” Zhong Yi was scared, but still, she said, “But, I suppose that man is from a distinguished family. If he finds out about Luosang’s family... I guess no one will accept the fact that her father, as a principle, has harassed his student. Everyone knows about that story. I don’t think any wealthy family would tolerate that.”
Yi Jingxi paused briefly, then gave her a cold smile and said, “You are evil. Your bad ideas are exactly the reason why she lost her patience and left me.”
“I did it for your own good. Back then, Luosang had so many pursuers in An City. If I didn’t do that, she would be free to marry a rich guy from her dreams at any time.” Zhong Yi bit her lips, then continued, “You saw that limited edition sports car just now. That guy is not any worse than you. Perhaps, he’s even better than you. A man like that could totally make Luosang a star and give her anything she wanted. He could even free her from you. You’ve pushed her hard enough. If you don’t do anything now, she will throw herself into that man’s arms at any moment...”
“Shut up!” Yi Jingxi gripped her throat and growled, “She’s mine! She’s my fiance!”
“You framed her father... You sent Xu Zhengxuan to prison...” Zhong Yi’s face blushed as she squeezed a few words out of her mouth.
Yi Jingxi pushed her away. His red eyes were filled with sadness and cruelness.
Zhong Yi was right. Since the moment Xu Zhengxuan was put into prison, he and Luosang became enemies. They loved and hated each other.
But what could he do? He couldn’t bear watching her jump into another man’s arms.
...
It was the first time Luosang sat in such a luxurious car, so she couldn’t help but look around with curiosity.
“Mr. Nian, why are you driving today? Where’s Lu Kang?” she asked. “And you’re driving a sports car. It’s the first time I’ve seen you in a sports car.”
While driving, Nian Junting responded blandly, “Em, I’ve been keeping a low profile, so I hardly drive this car.”
Mr. Nian, I think you misunderstood the term ‘keep a low profile’.
“So... why’re you driving it now?” she asked.
“Don’t misunderstand. I’m not driving it for you.” Nian Junting glanced at her proudly.
Once again, Luosang didn’t know how to respond. Did I say anything? She didn’t understand.
The seaside was about seven miles away from the downtown area of Sea City. When Nian Junting and Luoyang arrived at the city, it was already seven pm. Luosang had a long day, and she had been starving since quite a while ago.
“Mr. Nian... did you have dinner yet?” she asked.
“No. Let’s go have dinner first. I suppose you’re hungry already,” Nian Junting responded in a flat tone.
Luosang sighed with relief. She felt lucky for having something to eat. After all, she was so hungry.
It was already dark. About ten minutes later, the sports car pulled up before a tastefully decorated noodle restaurant.
Nian Junting opened the car door and said, “Get out of the car. We’ll eat here.”
Luosang hurriedly followed him out of the car, asking, “Are we going to have noodles?”
“Don’t you like noodles?” Nian Junting smiled, brows rising. He carelessly judged with his car key while saying, “Don’t you remember it? Last time, when you left Xia City, I told you that I’d take you to the best noodle restaurant in Xia City. This is it.”
