Chapter 435: 435, Big Pig Trotter has caught a cold
“What are you doing again?” Chu Xiuhuang once again put forth his displeased question.
Shi Huan was holding onto a pile of clothes, “It’s too cold, I’m putting them on first.”
Chu Xiuhuang glanced at her with a sarcastically sweet tone, “Am I not cold?”
“But I only brought my clothes.”
“So do you think this is appropriate?”
“I was wrong.” Shi Huan immediately apologized.
When they arrived, they parked directly on the red carpet at the entrance, and Chu Xiuhuang was dressed in a suit and she was carrying the bag, so…
Shi Huan quickly handed over the clothes, “Mr. Chu, you wear it out of necessity.”
Who knew Chu Xiuhuang’s eyes would narrow again, looking very displeased, “Do you think your clothes would fit someone of my height?”
Shi Huan was a bit speechless, “So Mr. Chu, what do you really want?”
“If I don’t wear it, you’re not allowed to wear it. If we’re cold, we’re cold together! Accompany me!” Mr. Chu shamelessly stated.
Shi Huan: “…”
She looked at him, not saying anything.
The elevator quickly arrived and opened up.
Just as Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows, a slight smirk playing on his lips, preparing to walk out with her…
Shi Huan suddenly spread out her down jacket and slipped it onto her body.
Chu Xiuhuang twitched at the corners of his mouth, his long, narrow eyes firmly squinted together, just glaring coldly down at her.
Until she zipped up her down jacket, properly clad and warm, he maintained his original posture without a change.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Shi Huan stretched out her hand to block it and kindly reminded, “Mr. Chu, we’re already at the basement level, aren’t you getting out?”
“My eyes aren’t blind!” Chu Xiuhuang finished and walked out briskly as if blowing off steam.
This damn woman!
Did she just blink before putting on that down jacket?
Didn’t she have a shred of empathy that he was also a person who could freeze out here?
Chu Xiuhuang was pretty mad.
But right after stepping out of the corridor, a chilly wind blew through…
God damn it!
It’s actually so cold!
The effect was immediate; young master Chu, now just in his thin three-piece suit, was instantly even more furious.
He’s freezing to death!
God damn it!
The woman’s tiny retreating footsteps sounded from behind him, “Mr. Chu, it’s really too cold here. You should wait in the corridor and I’ll go bring the car over.”
Regardless, Chu Xiuhuang did not stop his feet and walked forward with long strides.
The basement parking lot was truly cold at this moment, and especially around the corner where the air vent lay. Shi Huan could even hear the howling wind.
She tightened her down jacket, feeling that the bare half of her leg exposed to the cold wind was about to turn to ice, and probably could break off with a knock of a hammer…
“Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu, where are you going?”
Chu Xiuhuang ignored her, his long legs carrying him swiftly onwards.
Shi Huan quickly raised the car key in her hand, “Mr. Chu, I have the car key, Mr. Chu!”
Chu Xiuhuang still ignored her and walked straight ahead.
Shi Huan furrowed her eyebrows.
Forget it.
She pressed the car key, followed the sign to the left, kept walking forward, and soon, the black Cayenne in front of her emitted a pleasant response sound.
“I found the car, Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu! Quickly, come here Mr. Chu!”
Shi Huan was getting a headache, feeling her goal to preserve her voice going astray, but Chu Xiuhuang seemed to have not heard anything. He just kept walking, non-stop…
This jerk!
Finally, at the front where it seemed he couldn’t proceed any further, the man’s figure stopped, then turned around and began to walk back.
Shi Huan, suppressing an urge to roll her eyes, secretly grumbled.
With Mr. Chu’s proud and aloof personality, she didn’t know which poor girl will be unfortunate enough to become Mrs. Chu in the future?
Another gust of chilling wind blew fiercely.
It was really too cold, and Shi Huan couldn’t bother to think anymore. She quickly opened the car door and jumped in.
However…
When she lifted her head, she noticed in the rearview mirror that Chu Xiuhuang’s figure had stopped again.
What happened now?
Shi Huan started the engine, turned on the heater, and kept her beautiful eyes on the rearview mirror, noticing that he hadn’t moved at all.
She was utterly puzzled. This Mr. Chu… Did he freeze stupid?
**
Chu Xiuhuang stood there, his tall and handsome silhouette was gloomy and dark.
This damn woman, actually didn’t wait for him who was still suffering in the cold, and jumped in the car herself?
Or was she going to drive back to pick him up?
Yet he stood there, waiting for quite a while …
God damn it!
The car hasn’t moved!
But he couldn’t bear the piercing cold of the cold wind…
Chu Xiuhuang, dark-faced, finally walked over, and swung the passenger door open.
By then, Shi Huan had already turned on the heater and turned around upon hearing the noise, “Mr. Chu.”
Chu Xiuhuang was indeed very angry but as soon as he looked at her face…
Whether it was because the car’s interior lights were too bright, that lightly made up face looked incredibly beautiful. She was titled her head up, her paired almond eyes, clear and innocent, staring at him.
His heart gave a sharp “crack”.
Damn it!
Chu Xiuhuang found himself strangely unable to get angry.
He pressed his thin lips together and sat down in a distinctly aloof manner, “Drive.”
“Okay.”
The black Cayenne quickly pulled away.
“Mr. Chu, your coat is on the backseat.”
“Achoo!”
Shi Huan: “…”
She quickly turned up the air conditioning another two degrees.
After all, if Mr. Chu really caught a cold, she would be the one stuck taking care of him and wasting her time.
As the heat gradually filled the car, Shi Huan drove in silence and Chu Xiuhuang began sending all the photos she had just sent to their WJY group chat.
Nangong Ci: [Damn!]
Nangong Ci: [Damn!]
Nangong Ci: [Damn!]
…
Ming Jing: [Second Brother, you should have given me a head’s up.]
Nangong Ci: [This woman really is something!]
Gu Huai’an: [So this is what happened after I left?]
Nangong Ci: [Old Gu, seems like tomorrow’s headlines will be yours to surrender!]
Lu Chenyu: [Heh. ]
Suddenly, Shi Huan’s phone rang.
She hurriedly picked it up, “Luoluo.”
“Huanhuan, when are you coming back? I’m scared…” The little girl’s soft voice carried a whiff of tears.
Shi Huan quickly comforted, “Don’t be afraid, Luoluo. I’ll be home soon. Why don’t you turn the TV on and watch something in the meanwhile?”
“How soon is ‘soon’?”
Shi Huan checked the time, “Forty minutes, okay? I promise!”
“Okay then, Huanhuan, please hurry home.”
“Okay.”
Off to the side, Chu Xiuhuang’s brows were furrowed.
Forty minutes?
Such a deceitful sister!
But after about ten minutes, the car pulled up in front of Nangong Hospital.
Shi Huan said, “Mr. Chu, we’re here.”
Chu Xiuhuang glared at her discontentedly, “What do you mean by this? You’re just going to leave me here? Expecting me to walk home?”
Shi Huan explained, “My sister is alone at home and she’s really scared. I promised her I’d be home in forty minutes, the journey back is just about that long.”
Chu Xiuhuang immediately asked, “Why is your sister living with you? Didn’t you say she’s your uncle’s daughter?”
He knew Shi Huan had a one-bedroom apartment of her own. Although the apartment was not large, given its prime location and the fact it was bought before property prices skyrocketed, it was now worth at least two million. Shi Huan really had an eye for investment.
Her response was brief, “It’s because she likes me.”
Chu Xiuhuang: “…”
After a while.
“So, she can live with you just because she likes you?” Chu Xiuhuang eyed her suspiciously.
If she said yes, he would immediately…
“Mr. Chu, you’re overthinking.” Shi Huan snuffed his train of thoughts with a single sentence.
“Because she’s my sister and she’s alone with no one to take care of her, so she’s living with me,” Shi Huan thought she made it quite clear, but…
“What about her parents? If it’s their child, why aren’t they taking care of her? Why do they need you, her cousin, to look after her?”
“…” Shi Huan frowned, but before she could speak.
“Is her father a moron?” Chu Xiuhuang was suddenly filled with an inexplicable rage.
Last time because of that gluttonous little girl, he didn’t get to taste Shi Huan’s cooking.
And this time, she was actually rushing home? Leaving him stranded in front of the hospital?
“Do they think they can wash their hands off their own child? Is it appropriate for an unmarried girl like you to be looking after their child every day? Those who bear children and fail to raise them are unworthy of being parents!” Chu Xiuhuang’s words grew increasingly heated. “If they didn’t want to raise a child, then why did they have one? Why couldn’t they exercise control over their own personal desires? Why not just relieve themselves against a wall instead of inside a woman?”
Shi Huan stared at him blankly, “Mr. Chu, you…”
“These men are the scum of the earth! Scum! Barely better than animals!” At the end, Chu Xiuhuang concluded.
Shi Huan again: “…”
Though her uncle indeed had his shortcomings, he was still family.
She narrowed her eyes, her voice adopting an edge of seriousness, “Mr. Chu, I don’t appreciate your comments about my family.”
“They see you as cheap labour, exploiting your full value, and the money you’ve earned through hard work over the years, from dawn to dusk, has all been taken by these parasite relatives to repay their debts. And you still call them family? They don’t deserve it! Only a fool like you would treat them as such…”
With each word, Shi Huan’s face kept getting paler and paler.
Before he could finish, she suddenly turned around and pushed open the car door.
“What are you doing?” Chu Xiuhuang was taken aback, he quickly followed her out when he saw her alight from the vehicle.
“Hey, what do you think you’re doing?”
Shi Huan quickly walked to the other side of the road and…to his surprise, started flagging down a taxi.
“Damn it!” Chu Xiuhuang cursed. He was about to run over to her when he saw a taxi driving towards them. Shi Huan quickly hailed it and just like that, leapt in and left.
Chu Xiuhuang stood there, watching the taxi drive away.
After a moment.
“Achoo!”
…
In the chilling wind wearing a thin three-piece suit, he had to shuttle twice between the underground parking lot and the hospital entrance. So, the next day, Chu Xiuhuang magnificently caught a cold.
