Chapter 585 "Thank you, I'm not hungry."

"Don't you know that Jiang Shida has killed women?"

Ji Chuan raised his head and stared at her.

His words indirectly gave the answer to her question.

He saw her get into Jiang Shida's car, so he rushed back to save her.

Xu Hui's heart trembled, and a feeling of panic after surviving a disaster surged up in his heart belatedly.

Recalling the scene where she hit Jiang Shida in the face with the heel of her high heels, she couldn't help but sigh that ignorance is truly fearless.

If Ji Chuan hadn't gone back to save her, what would have been her fate tonight?

It would be a lie for Xu Hui to say she wasn't moved. The moment his voice suddenly rang out outside the car, it was like a god descending upon her.

The image of him and his bodyguard standing outside the car with the window rolled down was permanently seared into her mind.

She may never forget what happened on that damp rainy night.

She stopped in front of the sofa a few meters away from him and whispered back, "I haven't heard of this person before. I don't have that many connections."

His jaw tightened, as if he was holding back a breath, but his deep eyes still stared at her, neither lightly nor heavily. "So, you get in anyone's car?"

The burning pain on both sides of Xu Hui's cheeks seemed to suddenly worsen.

Although she understood that he meant well, the words were unpleasant to her ears. It felt like a needle pricked her heart. She couldn't help but explain herself: "He said he wanted to discuss cooperation with me."

He then pressed on, "Are you always selective in your business dealings? Do you dare to take money from anyone?"

Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, secretly complaining: "It's good enough to have some work to do. Does he think she has too much work to choose from? Like a lawyer taking on a case, can she be picky?"

But she could tell he was very angry, and not wanting to add fuel to the fire, she simply lowered her head and casually replied, "I was careless this time."

What she didn't know was that her few light words made him even angrier.

Ji Chuan knew what he was angry about. He was angry that she gave up her proper job and chose to take shortcuts to make quick money. He was angry that she was too weak in guarding herself. He was angry that she took the initiative to feed herself to those jackals and tigers.

It was all her own fault and she didn't deserve sympathy. However, when the car window rolled down, he saw her lying motionless on the seat with her entire face covered by the man's suit. At that moment, he felt a pang of depression in his heart.

But Xu Hui couldn't see through his seemingly calm eyes, which actually concealed a heavy anger.

She stood with her legs straight, like a bad student who admitted her mistake frankly but refused to repent and deliberately went against the teacher.

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and Xu Hui quietly looked away.

The doorbell suddenly rang.

He glanced toward the door, then stood up and walked over.

Xu Hui heard a young man's voice coming from the door, "Hello, Mr. Ji, these are what Miss Wei asked me to bring to you. There was some traffic on the road, so I'm sorry for the delay."

"Thanks."

“You’re welcome, enjoy your meal.”

The door closed, and when he turned around and walked back, he was holding two heavy meal bags in his hands.

He took things out and opened the food boxes one by one, then suddenly looked up and called her: "Come and eat."

Xu Hui saw and smelled everything. There was porridge, noodles, wontons, steamed buns on the table, as well as many other side dishes that looked exquisite and delicious.

It looks tempting and smells delicious.

"Thank you, I'm not hungry."

Her cheeks were a little stiff, and she took two steps back and sat down on the sofa.

God knows how hungry she was. That night, she only ate two small pieces of cake at the banquet and drank a belly full of wine.

But these were the things that Miss Wei ordered for him. Whether he really wanted to treat her to them was another matter. Maybe he was just being polite, and she couldn't be really rude.
