Li Xiuyuan did indeed overdo it. Although he was busy with work, he didn't do heavy work. Although running was good for his health, he was just exercising and not doing professional training.
Normally, it's his brain that gets tired, but carrying two heavy bags all at once is really taking its toll. He had made too many promises before, and he didn't want Su Ziying to see it now, so he used smoking as an excuse.
After shakily finishing his cigarette, Li Xiuyuan shook his arms and got into the car. Once inside, he started the engine and placed his hands on the steering wheel on his lap, trying his best not to let Su Ziying notice anything unusual.
He thought he had hidden it quite well, but Su Ziying had seen it before. Seeing Li Xiuyuan's nonchalant attitude, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
Li Xiuyuan drove away from the town's middle school and headed towards Meilin Village. Feeling Su Ziying's gaze fixed on him, he asked with some confusion, "Is there something on my face?"
Su Ziying smiled and shook her head: "No, I just think you're quite cute."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's face darkened. Was it appropriate to use the word "cute" to describe himself? He was trying to cultivate an image of a mature, reliable, sunny, handsome, and spirited young cadre.
This has absolutely nothing to do with cuteness.
Su Ziying smiled to herself. Li Xiuyuan asked what she meant, but Su Ziying wouldn't say. Li Xiuyuan couldn't do anything about it. However, just as they were about to reach Meilin Village, Su Ziying's phone rang.
Su Ziying took out her phone and saw that it was a call from her mother. Her heart skipped a beat. Oh no! Before she left home, she told her mother that she would send her a message to let her know she was safe once she arrived in Huangyuan.
As a result of Li Xiuyuan's actions, they completely forgot about it. After they finished eating and returned to the town's middle school, they packed their things without even remembering the incident.
Seeing that Su Ziying hadn't answered the phone, Li Xiuyuan slowed down, pulled over to the side of the road, and said to Su Ziying, "You answer it, I'll get out first."
He thought Su Ziying was embarrassed to accept the gift in front of him, but just then, Su Ziying reached out and grabbed Li Xiuyuan's arm.
"It's okay, no need, my family called." Su Ziying said as she answered the phone, and Li Xiuyuan then started the car again and headed towards Meilin Village.
However, he slowed down the car, and his mind was also on Su Ziying's phone call. It was from home. Who in his family was calling?
Is this Minister Su?
However, as soon as Su Ziying opened her mouth, Li Xiuyuan knew it wasn't her, because Su Ziying addressed her as "Mom".
Even so, Li Xiuyuan did not relax. This was the minister's wife. If he could be with Su Ziying, then the person who called might be his future mother-in-law.
I wonder if my future mother-in-law will be easy to get along with. They say that mothers-in-law like their sons-in-law more and more the more they look at them. I wonder if my future mother-in-law can give me some help in my future relationship with Su Ziying.
Li Xiuyuan was lost in thought, while Su Ziying was trying to find excuses to fool her mother.
"Mom, don't worry. I was a little hungry after I got off the bus, so I went to eat. That's why I forgot to let you know I arrived safely. It's okay..."
As Su Ziying spoke, she glanced at Li Xiuyuan beside her. It was obvious whether she was hungry or had forgotten to call her mother to let her know she was safe because of the man next to her.
Su Ziying chatted briefly with her mother, but it wasn't convenient to talk much in Li Xiuyuan's car, so she quickly made an excuse to hang up.
