As long as she said she was afraid, he wouldn’t force her.
Unexpectedly, Lu Haiqiao puffed up her cheeks. “You want to go back on your word?”
“Are you really not afraid?” Xie Xuan frowned slightly.
Lu Haiqiao pursed her lips and pointed at her face which was slightly wet from the rain. “I’m scared. Can’t you see that I’m so scared that I’m crying?” Xie Da was speechless.
He thought, “Miss Lu, isn’t your “afraid” a little too perfunctory?”
Xie Xuan stared at her extremely serious eyes as she spoke. Two to three seconds later, he relaxed his brows and smiled.
That light laughter was clear and hearty, like a clear spring flowing through the mountain, bringing a comfortable coolness to the skin.
Lu Haiqiao was speechless.
“Why are you laughing? You’re seducing me!”
“Alright.” Xie Xuan took a step forward and brushed away the moisture on Lu Haiqiao’s cheeks. Then, he patted her gently on the back of her head. “Let’s go home.”
Before getting into the car, Lu Haiqiao noticed that Xie Xuan deliberately paused.
He turned his head and whispered a few words into Da Xie’s ear.
Xie Da nodded and went back into the noodle shop.
Through the clear car window, Lu Haiqiao saw Xie Da say a few words to the shop owner. Then, he took out his phone and scanned the payment QR code on the wall.
As the car door closed with a bang, Xie Xuan’s voice followed. “It’s just a small business. There’s no reason for them to lose money because of this.” Lu Haiqiao understood. “So you…
Did he instruct Xie Da to compensate the shop owner for the glass door?
At this moment, Xie Xuan slowly lowered the car window. A gust of wind blew past, lifting the hair on his forehead.
In the car, a light grapefruit fragrance surged, bringing with it a charming intoxication.
Lu Haiqiao turned her head and naturally stared at Xie Xuan’s side profile.
His attention seemed to be focused on the residential building opposite the noodle shop.
In that case, he also…
At the thought of this, Lu Haiqiao pursed her lips.
A subtle feeling rose from the bottom of her heart. It was an excitement that couldn’t be described with words.
“Xie Xuan, you…
She wanted to ask who exactly he was.
Before she could finish speaking, the door of the driver’s seat in the front row suddenly opened.
Xie Da bent down and entered the car. He turned around and reported, “Boss, it’s all settled.”
Xie Xuan glanced at him and then looked at Lu Haiqiao. “What did you want to say just now?”
She looked at him with clear eyes. “No, it’s nothing.”
Come to think about it, it didn’t seem to matter who he was.
At one o’clock in the morning, the car stopped outside Lu Hail s house.
Xie Xuan followed her out of the car. “I’ll walk you up.”
Although her place was just upstairs, it wasn’t safe for a girl to take the stairs in the middle of the night, especially on the narrow steps of an old residential building.
Lu Haiqiao looked at him from the other side of the car. “It’s late. I’ll go up myself. Go home and have some rest.’
Xie Xuan didn’t force her, but he asked again, “Which floor?”
Lu Haiqiao understood what he meant, so she smiled. “Fourth floor.”
After saying goodnight to each other, she turned around and walked into the building.
At this time, Lu Wanxin, who had come back from the concert, had already taken a shower and gone to bed.
Lu Haiqiao carefully unlocked the door and entered. After returning to the bedroom in the dark, she turned on the light.
The moment her phone was thrown onto the bed, it suddenly vibrated.
Xie Xuan sent a message. “You’re home safely?”
Lu Haiqiao sat cross-legged on the bed, and there seemed to be a glint in her eyes. “The room on the fourth floor that just lit up is my bedroom..”
