Jin Heng volunteered to take Xue Qiandai home, but his rival intercepted the offer.
Huo Yunchao opened his eyes, pulled the girl into his arms, and mumbled incoherently, "Honey, I've been drinking. Take me home."
What?
Jin Heng was hallucinating. "How can a grown man like you let a woman take him home? Don't you have any chivalry? It's probably obvious what your true intentions are."
Xue Qiandai, however, was quite swayed by this. All the aloofness in her narrow eyes melted away completely, and she appeared exceptionally obedient and easy to talk to. "Okay, I'll take you home."
Are arrogant men the luckiest?
Jin Heng felt he had learned another trick, and he could try it next time when his opponent wasn't around.
Huo Yunchao was very convincing in his acting; he leaned slightly against Xue Qiandai, making it appear to outsiders that his weight was pressing down on the girl. He then muttered to himself, "You've lost a bit of weight, can you handle it?"
Xue Qiandai was both amused and exasperated. She hadn't even pressed against him; she couldn't even take advantage of the beauty. "No problem, I have abs and a V-line too."
Hearing this conversation, Jin Heng's worldview was once again shattered.
After Xue Qiandai left, Hua Se walked out from the crowd and stood behind Jin Heng. "How many times do I have to remind you? Your girlfriend is me, not that bankrupt heiress. Your father wouldn't allow you to marry someone from a poor background."
Jin Heng turned around, looking down at her with disdain, his voice icy cold, "You can't even compete with a bankrupt heiress, what right do you have to say that? She is the bright moon, you are a firefly. My relationship with you is nothing more than a fleeting affair. Name your price, and I'll satisfy you."
From then on, we went our separate ways.
What a heartless man!
Hua Se curled her lips into a cold smile, "You say I can't compare to her? Do you think you can compare to that man surnamed Huo? You were born with everything, while he started from scratch, yet he's already standing in front of you. If I were Xue Qiandai, I would choose him over you too."
These words, "To kill someone is to destroy their spirit," struck a nerve with Jin Heng's pride.
Jin Heng flicked his sleeves and strode away.
Hua Se stared at his retreating figure, secretly making a resolution, "One day, I'll make you kneel obediently at my feet."
————————
Once out of sight of the crowd, Huo Yunchao straightened up and walked towards the underground parking garage.
Xue Qiandai stopped in her tracks. "You go first, I'll go back by myself."
Huo Yunchao stopped as well. The girl's eyes clearly showed reluctance, but her words betrayed her true feelings. "At the auction, you didn't make me spend a single penny. Now you're even taking away my right to take you home?"
“No,” Xue Qiandai’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz as she lowered her eyes and twirled her fingers, “It’s not on the way.”
Xue Qiandai lived outside the Southeast Fifth Ring Road, while Huo Yunchao lived in the Northwest Fourth Ring Road, spanning most of the capital, so it was naturally inconvenient for them to travel there. Moreover, Xue Qiandai secretly didn't want him to see her address, since she was about to move anyway.
Huo Yunchao smoothed his hair and mumbled, "Either you come home with me."
"What?" Xue Qiandai didn't hear clearly, and his expression was a little strange.
Forget it, I shouldn't scare her. I'll take it slow. "It's nothing. I'll take you home. No arguments."
Having said that, Xue Qiandai followed Huo Yunchao into the car.
Huo Yunchao sat in the driver's seat, the garage lights casting a soft glow on his almond-shaped eyes, making his features appear even more refined. "Dai Dai, I'm not that greenhorn in the early stages of starting a business anymore. I'm fine with the expenses at the auction."
Was he blaming himself for coming empty-handed?
Xue Qiandai was even more delighted, "I know, I know, you're a successful person now. But we don't need to be ripped off, right? That little thing isn't worth that price."
The young woman was still trying to save him money. Didn't she know? Isn't the purpose of a man earning money to provide for the woman he loves?
"Jean Cléo perfume and Karl Lagerfeld lipstick, you made those up, didn't you?"
The girl smiled slyly, "Yeah, yeah, I have indeed met all of them. I'll just sell dog meat under their names. Anyway, they won't come all the way from across the ocean to confront me, so what do I have to worry about? Hey, why aren't you driving yet?"
Huo Yunchao touched the high bridge of her nose, his gaze fell on her chest, and then he moved closer and reached out his hand.
OH MY GOD! Xue Qiandai felt her blood rush to her head, her mind went blank for a moment. Was he going to try to force her into a car? Should she close her eyes and cooperate?
She half-closed her eyes, but the kiss didn't come. Huo Yunchao pulled over the seatbelt, fastened it for her, and chuckled happily. "So eager?"
What does she yearn for? Xue Qiandai blushed and held up her platinum bag.
The bag didn't hit anything, and the Mercedes started moving.
"destination?"
Xue Qiandai gave her the name of her neighborhood and then picked up her phone to let Jian Yan know she was safe.
After wearing flat shoes for more than a week, it was very difficult to get used to wearing high heels again. At this moment, her feet were sore, and coupled with the fatigue of the week, Xue Qiandai leaned back in her chair and fell asleep peacefully.
Huo Yunchao glanced at the girl out of the corner of his eye. Her eyelashes were thick and curled, and she was casting a small fan down her face. He was a little distracted.
In his entire life, at twenty-five years old, only this little vixen could make him lose his composure like this.
An hour later, the Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of Xue Qiandai's residential complex.
It was a very old-fashioned house, with iron bars around the windows; you could tell at a glance that ventilation and lighting were poor. How did she endure it?
Xue Qiandai didn't wake up, and Huo Yunchao couldn't bear to call her. He stared blankly at her red lips, his ears still ringing with her words from the auction: "A must-have for mature women, both innocent and sophisticated, perfect for a kiss."
It was very noisy inside the train carriage.
I don't care anymore, I just want to kiss her.
Huo Yunchao lowered his head.
Someone knocked on the car window, and Xue Qiandai suddenly opened her eyes, causing Huo Yunchao to stop moving abruptly.
Damn it, doesn't this make you want to curse? He rolled down the car window and saw the girl who delivered coffee, her eyes sparkling as she shouted, "Dai Dai, you're finally back! I was worried about you. It's dangerous for a girl to be out alone so late at night."
Huo Yunchao's grinding of his teeth is quite dangerous; he's surrounded by a bunch of undesirable suitors. His genuine suitors are always getting interfered with when they try to do anything.
Xue Qiandai rubbed her eyes and pushed open the car door. "Jian, have you been waiting for a long time? I...I...I'm with a classmate, it's okay."
Haha, every time he's introduced, Huo Yunchao's status gets marginalized. Is he really that unpresentable?
Jian Yan smiled gossipy, with an expression that said "I know everything," which finally made Huo Yunchao feel a little better.
After getting out of the car, Xue Qiandai suddenly leaned against the car window, her eyes darting around, "Um, I might be moving next week, so I'll leave Xue Shi with you for now. I'll pick it up after I've settled in, okay?"
"Okay." This way we'll have more opportunities to spend time together, which is great.
"Well, I'm going back now. Be careful on your way."
Huo Yunchao waved his hand sullenly, "Go back and get some rest, don't stay up late."
They're just like parents.
Xue Qiandai then left with Jian Yan, turning back every three steps. "Bye-bye, beauty."
The girl's perfume still lingered in the car. The seats were empty. Huo Yunchao started the car again and muttered to himself, "Dai Dai, we have a long future ahead of us."
