He Yaonian was still wearing a shirt and trousers, and it looked like he had just come down from the study.
"Third Uncle."
He Xingqiong shouted excitedly as soon as she saw He Yaonian.
"Mingdai is back."
Mingdai was speechless.
Why is she replying? She's leaving.
"No, let go of my car door."
Mingdai went to open the door, but He Xingqiong shook her head.
"Either we go together, or we stay tonight."
Mingdai weakly rubbed her forehead.
He Yaonian slowly descended the steps, his tall figure appearing aloof and cold under the streetlights.
Mingdai couldn't see his face clearly, but when he leaned closer, her heart skipped a beat.
"You're back, why didn't you go inside?"
He Yaonian asked the same question as He Xingqiong.
He had long legs and quickly reached the car.
Mingdai was still hesitating whether to get out of the car to say hello when He Yaonian was already standing next to her car door.
Mingdai hurriedly tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
"Something came up, so I won't go in."
It's the same excuse again.
"What's up?"
He Yaonian stared at Mingdai with his unfathomable eyes.
Are you in a hurry?
Mingdai felt guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
He Xingqiong said, "Her father's assistant is sick, and she's going to visit him."
He Yaonian's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened slightly.
"Go now?"
"Yes, she said she'll go now."
Mingdai: "...She's quite ill, I won't feel at ease if I don't get her treated."
He Yaonian suddenly leaned into the car.
Mingdai forgot to breathe.
He stared blankly as He Yaonian drew closer and closer.
She was completely unresponsive; her mind had gone blank.
He Yaonian's handsome face was only a few centimeters away from Mingdai.
That's very inappropriate.
However, he quickly retreated further away.
He raised his excessively handsome chin.
"Sit over there."
Mingdai was stunned.
"ah?"
He Yaonian said, "I've unbuckled your seatbelt. You can sit in the passenger seat."
Mingdai looked down at the seatbelt.
It turns out that He Yaonian had suddenly come over to unravel this thing.
no.
Why did he help her untie it? It's not like she doesn't have hands.
wrong.
She didn't ask him to explain.
Why did he act on his own initiative?
They've even made her sit in the passenger seat.
What does he want to do?
"Third Uncle, are you going to give Mingdai a gift?"
He Xingqiong was relieved.
"With you by my side, it doesn't matter if the assistant is a man."
Mingdai in the car: "?"
I should at least follow her opinion.
"Go get my coat," He Yaonian ordered He Xingqiong.
"Okay, coming right away."
He Xingqiong turned and ran away.
The air suddenly became unsettling.
Mingdai didn't want to move, and she didn't want He Yaonian to accompany her.
She originally wanted to leave as soon as possible to avoid He Yaonian.
"You seem to have some issues with me."
He Yaonian rested one arm on the back of the seat and the other on the steering wheel.
Mingdai suffocated.
He Yaonian positioned himself in a semi-encircling manner, trapping Mingdai in the car seat.
His faint body fragrance, mixed with the cool scent of pine, lingered around my nose.
Mingdai blushed, her heart pounded, her limbs stiffened, and her eyes became evasive.
"No."
Mingdai silently swallowed and quickly glanced at He Yaonian.
He was too close.
"Third Uncle, step back a little. People will gossip if they see you like this."
He Yaonian remained unmoved, as if he were deaf.
"Don't you know you're avoiding me?"
He Yaonian rebuked Mingdai in a low, deliberate voice.
"The attempt to evade is very obvious."
He Yaonian asked, "Did I provoke you?"
Mingdai's heart skipped a beat.
She wasn't sure if he confessed or not, but some of his actions and behaviors were quite misleading.
I don't know if she was overthinking it, or if he did it on purpose.
Anyway, she was certain that he was 80% interested in hiring her.
"No."
She wanted to expose He Yaonian's thoughts, but she just didn't have the guts to say it.
Very cowardly.
Since He Yaonian wouldn't move aside, Mingdai could only silently move towards the passenger seat.
The dress almost got stuck when she stood up.
He Yaonian kindly lifted her skirt for her.
She had just settled into the passenger seat when he comfortably sat down in the driver's seat.
Mingdai quietly touched her erratic heartbeat, clenched her fist, and wanted to punch her chest. What was so great about it beating like that?
That's so pathetic.
"Third Uncle, here you go."
He Xingqiong brought He Yaonian's suit jacket, which He Yaonian took and handed to Mingdai, saying, "Hold this for me."
Before Mingdai could even process what was happening, she took the food with a cheeky grin.
He Yaonian started the car and gestured with his chin to He Xingqiong, "Go to sleep."
He Xingqiong stepped aside and said goodbye to Mingdai with a smile.
Mingdai held He Yaonian's coat in one hand and waved foolishly at He Xingqiong with the other.
When only the two of them were left, Mingdai fell silent in an instant.
Once outside the gate, He Yaonian said, "Address."
Mingdai didn't even tell the assistant that she was going to see him.
When I called this morning, the assistant said it was inconvenient, and it will probably be even more inconvenient for him to go now.
But she still lost the address.
Then he took out his phone to send a message to the assistant.
The assistant did not reply.
Mingdai braced herself and made the call.
It was the assistant's girlfriend who answered the phone.
