Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Where is He Taking Her?
Translator: 549690339
Rong Yan’s breath paused for a second before she blurted out, “Li Shengxiao, I suddenly feel like I need a lock.”
“Hmm?”
As Rong Yan gazed at his stunningly perfect profile, her heart pounded wildly, and her ears grew so hot that she had to look away, “…It’s nothing.”
She felt she needed a lock to keep him secured; leaving him out in the world seemed far too dangerous.
“Oh, right.” Rong Yan’s bright eyes took a quick glance outside the car window and asked, “Where are we going now? Aren’t we heading back to Dihor Garden?”
The streetlights outside swiftly receded, viewing the scenery, this was not the way back.
Li Shengxiao, who had just vaguely heard her mention a lock and was still thinking about it, heard the question and his thin lips pressed together, “Taking you to a place!”
Rong Yan turned to look at him, Oh, how perfectly straight his nose was. She had barely managed to force herself not to care about that handsome face so close to hers, blinked her eyes, and asked, “Where to?”
“You’ll know when we get there.” Li Shengxiao showed no intention of telling her in advance.
Alright then…
She suddenly remembered something and said, “What about Duidui…”
“He’s not coming back tonight.”
Rong Yan’s heart completely settled down; no longer tangled, she softly spoke,
“You go ahead with your work, I won’t bother you.”
As she spoke, to prove her point, she took out her phone from her bag, bowed her head, and began to focus on her own phone…
Li Shengxiao, watching the ‘bothering’ woman suddenly stop ‘bothering’ him, felt a sudden surge of frustration in his chest.
He glared at the person beside him for a long time, but since Rong Yan was so engrossed in her phone and didn’t look up, he could only exhale turbid breath and restrain the stifling frustration in his chest, then turned back to the document he had been halfway through.
In fact, he had hastily come over after seeing on his phone that she had gone to the Rong Family. There were still many documents left today that required his decision.
But for some reason, the man who usually processed ten lines in a single glance couldn’t get a single word in today!
Li Shengxiao’s gaze had been fixed on the word “contract” for a full ten minutes, the fragrant scent of a certain culprit wafting to his nose making his temples throb violently. He slammed the document shut and tossed it aside.
Rong Yan heard the noise and looked up, surprised, “Did you finish reading it that quickly?”
It was all because of her!
Li Shengxiao pressed his hand against his nose bridge, pinched it twice, and leaned back in his seat with an exhausted expression, “No.”
Only then did Rong Yan belatedly realize, “Did I disturb you?”
She hadn’t made any sound though, merely sat beside him, playing with her phone. She remembered Cui Jiangjing saying that this man didn’t like crowded places. She wondered if the car’s space was too cramped, even with not many people, she was still affecting him.
“It’s not.” Li Shengxiao opened his dark hawk-like eyes, his gaze swept over her guilt-ridden face, and he flatly denied it!
Just at that moment, the car took a turn and gradually came to a stop.
Gu Ming, who had been quietly enduring being fed dog food while driving, interjected to break the silence between the two, “Mr. Li, Miss Rong, we’ve arrived. ”
We’ve arrived so quickly?
Rong Yan’s attention was immediately drawn to him, and she instinctively looked outside the car window.
But regrettably, with the sky nearly dark and the window separating her from the outside, she couldn’t make out the surroundings or where exactly they had arrived..
