Upon hearing this, the man smiled and said, "Young Master Zhao, you're too kind. It was nothing at all."
The two then exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Thinking of Wu Xiao, who was still in the car, Zhao Heng said goodbye to the man and left.
Wu Xiao, inside the car, kept glancing at the gate Zhao Heng had entered through, her brows furrowing slightly.
His face showed some anxiety.
Looking down at his phone, he saw that more than half an hour had passed. He frowned and muttered to himself, "What's going on? He's been in there for so long, why hasn't he come out yet?"
Wu Xiao stared longingly at the gate, waiting for Zhao Heng to appear.
She was also curious, and there were some things she didn't understand.
Why did Zhao Heng rush here so soon after leaving the hospital?
After Zhao Heng went inside, she was curious about where she was, so she looked out the car through the windshield.
She only realized it was a research institute when she saw the name written above the building.
She still couldn't understand why Zhao Heng, who had just woken up, would be here. Wu Xiao thought about it for a long time but couldn't find an answer.
Just then, the figure Wu Xiao had been longing for appeared in her sight.
Wu Xiao didn't have time to think about it anymore. She put on a smile and got out of the car in a well-behaved and charming manner.
He then walked towards Zhao Heng. As Wu Xiao drew closer and closer to him, Zhao Heng's disgust intensified.
Seeing Wu Xiao approaching, Zhao Heng said with displeasure, "What are you doing getting down here? Get in the car quickly."
He really didn't want others to know about his relationship with Wu Xiao. If he hadn't been forced into it, he wouldn't have wanted to put on an act with Wu Xiao at all.
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiao was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood.
He's disgusted with himself and doesn't want others to know about their illicit relationship.
She sneered inwardly, determined not to let Zhao Heng have his way.
Wu Xiao pretended not to understand, acting as if she were in love, and took Zhao Heng's arm with a shy expression.
"I just saw you come out of the car and came to pick you up. I've been waiting for you for ages."
When Zhao Heng saw Wu Xiao's sudden action, he was about to get angry, but then he caught a glimpse of all sorts of people passing by and had no choice but to hold back.
He let her pull his arm, then walked towards the parked car.
At that moment, he just wanted to leave this public place as soon as possible and didn't want more people to know about their relationship.
Seeing this, Wu Xiao's lips curled into a smug smile, and she let Zhao Heng pull her along.
Don't you dislike her?
There's nothing we can do about her!
Upon reaching the car, Zhao Heng, with a furrowed brow, reluctantly opened the door for Wu Xiao and said impatiently, "Get in the car quickly."
Wu Xiao naturally sensed the impatience in his words, but she didn't argue with him and got into the car with a forced smile that didn't reach her eyes.
Wu Xiao knew very well what she wanted to get from Zhao Heng. She wasn't that stupid; Zhao Heng had treated her like this, so naturally she couldn't let her heart run wild.
After what happened at the hospital, she became even more certain that it was impossible for Zhao Heng to fall in love with her.
From the very beginning, her relationship with Zhao Heng was full of calculations, and it could only be a transaction of interests, with no connection to genuine feelings.
Suppressing his displeasure, Zhao Heng turned around and got into the car from the driver's seat without saying a word or even giving Wu Xiao a glance.
He then quietly lit a cigarette before slowly starting the car and driving towards the apartment.
More than half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a high-end private apartment in the capital.
Wu Xiao remained silent the entire way, fully aware that her actions had undoubtedly displeased Zhao Heng.
She remained silent at that moment to prevent even the superficial peace between them from disappearing.
Wu Xiao glanced outside and saw that the surrounding greenery was excellent, and the cars parked in the open-air parking lot were mostly luxury cars worth over a million yuan. It was clear at a glance that the people living here were either rich or noble.
On the way here, the closer we got to this area, the fewer people there were, and there weren't many vehicles on the road either.
This is indeed a perfect place to keep a mistress.
Wu Xiao thought to himself.
Zhao Heng didn't care what she was thinking. After parking the car, he got out without saying a word.
After getting out of the car, he walked towards the apartment without any intention of waiting for Wu Xiao.
Seeing this, Wu Xiao felt a slight displeasure at being ignored, but she did not show it on the spot.
After all, she still needed Zhao Heng's help, and she couldn't afford to anger him, otherwise, if things didn't go smoothly, she would end up losing herself again, just like last time.
Wu Xiao then opened the car door and got out, following Zhao Heng towards the apartment.
Led by Zhao Heng, Wu Xiao entered the apartment building and arrived at a door. Zhao Heng unlocked the door and stood aside, gesturing for Wu Xiao to go in, but he himself did not intend to go in.
Wu Xiao glanced at Zhao Heng, then stepped inside.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious living room, which is decorated in a very simple manner. Apart from the sofa and the TV, there is nothing else superfluous, let alone any household items.
It's obvious at a glance that this place is usually unused.
Although it can't compare to the upscale villa she lived in when she was with Shen Chenxi, it's still much better than the studio apartment she's been living in alone these days.
Thinking about the hard times she had been going through recently, Wu Xiao felt even more resentment towards Jian Yixue.
If it weren't for Jian Yixue, she wouldn't have been abandoned by Shen Chenxi, and she wouldn't have to resort to such means to get everything she wants.
Jian Yixue is her mortal enemy, and everything she is suffering now is all thanks to Jian Yixue!
How could she not hate!
Wu Xiao was lost in her thoughts for a while when she suddenly remembered Zhao Heng behind her. She closed her eyes to suppress her emotions, and when she opened her eyes again, the hatred in her eyes had long been buried deep in her heart.
He turned and walked towards Zhao Heng, a forced smile on his face. "Young Master Zhao, aren't you going to come in and have a seat?"
Upon hearing Wu Xiao's words, Zhao Heng declined, saying, "No, I have other things to do. Here's the key to this place, please keep it safe."
As they spoke, he handed over the apartment key he was holding.
Wu Xiao took the keys, then took Zhao Heng's hand and leaned against him, feigning a coquettish tone, "Young Master Zhao, could you come in and sit with me for a while, just a little while..."
Wu Xiao knew that if she couldn't change Zhao Heng's impression of her, it would be difficult for her to see him again in the future.
"No! I have to go now."
Zhao Heng felt very disgusted by Wu Xiao's approach and pulled his hand away, preparing to turn and leave.
Wu Xiao looked at the suddenly empty figure beside her, and the emotions that had been building up inside her exploded instantly.
