Chapter 286 - Change the Topic
“Aunt, I have something on, so I must go now! I’ll explain this matter to you in the future!”
Spouting this excuse, she did a quick turn and fled in panic.
Yun Lingru furrowed her brows and squinted her eyes in scrutiny of her niece’s fleeing back. That girl was as suspicious as she sounded!
However, she was not her child, so she did not care if her niece was indeed up to no good. Even if something shameful were to happen to her relatives’ family because of her niece, she did not mind as long as she was not involved! She could not afford to lose her reputation, after all!
She stepped into the elevator while thinking of this.
Yun Shishi was still trembling in trepidation even when she was out of the hospital gates.
Due to that unscrupulous man who could not behave himself even at a public space like the inside of the elevator, she was caught in action by her aunt. Thanks to him, she was unable to explain her way out of the fix.
A business car was parked by the roadside. The man sitting in the car seemed to have been waiting for quite some time.
He had instructed his assistant to drive back the sports car he had used earlier.
She walked over unhappily. The chauffeur opened the car door for her but she tarried, not wanting to get in.
Mu Yazhe was lounging languidly in the back seat with his legs crossed and eyes staring vacantly ahead. He did not even glance her way when she appeared; his perfectly chiseled profile looked restrained and aloof. His lips were pressed firmly into a cold line and his eyes were only partially open in a lazy manner.
He seemed like a haughty emperor most of the time. His presence was one that others could not help but submit to.
She was rather upset with him.
Why is this man so whimsical? Why does he do what he wants regardless of occasion?
“What are you thinking all day in your head?!”
She unconsciously blurted out her thoughts.
She caught herself too late and could only bite her lower lip in consternation.
She actually told him off…
Mu Yazhe glanced at her and smiled teasingly. “Can you guess what I’m thinking about?”
Guess?
How could she guess?
Some words could not be verbalized twice.
She bit her lip in resignation and just got into the car.
With a pong , the car door went shut.
She stared straight ahead and stayed close to the car door and far from him as much as possible. At the same time, she carefully observed him through her peripheral view.
A long silence ensued before she opened her mouth to request, “I need to trouble you to send me home. I have to prepare a few sets of clothes for Youyou.”
Just as the last word went past her lips, the man reached out his long arm to grab hers and easily pulled her into his embrace.
Caught off guard, she struggled vainly for a bit but still found herself caged in his arms in the blink of an eye.
Soothing music could be heard inside the spacious car cabin.
His eyes exuded the most playful smile. Arching his thin lips, he asked in his charming, husky voice, “Little thing, you haven’t answered me yet; what did you just say, eh?”
His meaning was clear; he would not let her change the topic!
She simply closed her eyes and refused to acknowledge him.
He had a way to make her open her mouth, though.
“What did you say moments ago?”
His eyes revealed a threat. “Like this?”
Her body shook a little. With a fretful face, she subconsciously turned to look at the chauffeur in the driver’s seat. He had already aptly turned away the rearview mirror and turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to the scene happening in the back seat.
A premonition arose in her heart, and she frantically struggled to break loose from him.
The man pinned her down tightly. Their faces were so close to each other their noses and mouths were touching.
Such close proximity only served to heighten her uneasiness!
