"Get in the car!"
Xuan Mingyu didn't have much patience left to waste on Bai Xiaoruo; after dropping her off at school, he had to rush to the company.
"No need, the bus will be here soon. You go ahead, I'll take the bus."
"If you don't get in the car, do you want me to get out and carry you up?"
Hug her... well, in broad daylight, that's not really appropriate...
Bai Xiaoruo looked around to make sure no one was there before quickly walking to the car with her backpack, opening the passenger door, and obediently getting in.
This was the first time she had ridden in his car. Usually, even when they were in the same car, it was always the bodyguard who drove, and the two of them sat in the back seat.
"Take off your backpack and put it in the back."
Just as Bai Xiaoruo was about to fasten her seatbelt, Xuan Mingyu suddenly said something.
Doesn't she feel uncomfortable wearing a backpack and a seatbelt?
"Huh? Oh..." Bai Xiaoru took off her backpack and put it on the back seat, then fastened her seatbelt.
Originally, after getting up this morning, Xian Mingyu planned to go straight to the company. When he passed the bus stop, he found this little girl sitting still on the bench. Xian Mingyu couldn't help but wonder, didn't Grandpa assign her a driver, Uncle Chen? Besides, Uncle Chen is still in the new courtyard and hasn't been transferred back to the old house yet. Why is she sitting at the bus stop instead of taking a car?
Buses are bumpy and crowded; they can't compare to the comfort of a private car.
Considering it as meddling in other people's business, Xuan Mingyu did not ignore Bai Xiaoruo's petite figure and drive away quickly. Instead, he stopped in front of her and decided to give her a ride.
After all, if this little girl gets sick from the cold, wouldn't that just cause him unnecessary trouble?
***
The two did not exchange a single word the entire way.
He drives very fast. Normally, it would take him almost an hour to get to school by bus, but he only took twenty minutes.
Xian Mingyu parked his car directly at the main entrance of the school, in a very conspicuous location. It would be hard for passersby not to notice his luxury car.
Since they had arrived at their stop, it wouldn't be right for Bai Xiaoruo not to get off, so she unbuckled her seatbelt, thanked him, and opened the door to get off.
Hopefully, I won't run into anyone I know today, otherwise it will be too much trouble to explain.
As soon as Bai Xiaoruo got out of the car, a familiar voice called out to her from behind.
"Xiao Ruo."
Just what I feared most came to pass.
Bai Xiaoruo had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn back—
Sure enough, it was Ziqian.
Ji Ziqian was holding a stack of documents in his hands, dressed casually, with a black backpack on his back.
"Brother Ziqian, good morning... Don't you have to go to work today?" Bai Xiaoruo smiled politely.
"Good morning. I'm off today, and I'm going back to school to get a stamp. Xiao Ruo, if you don't have any classes this afternoon, I'll pick you up and we can go out and have some fun. Relax and have some fun."
"this......"
Before Bai Xiaoruo could speak, the person in the car got out and walked to Bai Xiaoruo's side with a domineering expression. "Play? What do you want to play? Bai Xiaoruo, I haven't even left yet, and you're already so eager to meet up with other men?"
"I..." Bai Xiaoruo felt a little guilty.
Her eyes darted around, unsure how to answer Xian Mingyu.
Oh no, how could I forget he's still here? Could it be that Xuanmingyu overheard my conversation with Ziqian?
What should I do? Should I just tell Ziqian the truth? But... her relationship with Xianmingyu is something that can't be made public. Since he doesn't care about her, his so-called wife, wouldn't it be better to just drive away? Why did she have to get out and say all this?
"Xiao Ruo, who is this?" Ji Ziqian looked at Xuan Mingyu standing next to Bai Xiao Ruo.
This was the first time he had met Xian Mingyu. Besides Gu Yao from last time, another one had come. Moreover, they seemed to be the same kind of people, dressed in suits and ties, and looked to be a few years older than Bai Xiaoruo. Could they be Bai Xiaoruo's friends again?
"I am......"
"He's my cousin!"
"Cousin?!" Xuan Mingyu and Ji Ziqian asked at the same time.
When did Xiaoru get a cousin like this?
This damn woman, is his identity so embarrassing for her to talk about? What kind of ridiculous title is "cousin"? He doesn't want to be her cousin!
"Yes, yes, he's my cousin. I only met him recently. Ziqian, do you remember me telling you that my maternal grandfather's family lives far away and we haven't been in touch for many years? It's normal for my mother to have some kind of cousin, right? Cousin?"
Bai Xiaoruo happily took Xian Mingyu's hand, her eyes filled with pleading as she looked at him. Please, please, just help her this once. Please don't expose her at this time, otherwise she will be ashamed in front of Ziqian in the future.
"You're right, cousin."
The word "cousin" was practically squeezed out by Xian Mingyu through gritted teeth. What exactly was the relationship between this little girl and the man in front of him? And why was she calling him "Brother Ziqian" so affectionately? Could he really be her lover?
If she dares to get involved with any random, shady men, she shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.
"Oh, I see. Hello, my name is Ji Ziqian. By seniority, can I call you cousin? I'm Xiaoruo's friend, and I'm currently..." Ji Ziqian's eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at Bai Xiaoruo. "I'm currently pursuing Xiaoruo, and I hope you can give me this opportunity. I will definitely treat Xiaoruo well."
