Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Three minutes later.
Su Xianyi, who had been resisting all over just now, had already sat in the passenger seat of Lu Shiyuan's car.
She wanted to sit in the back, but Lu Ruiqin was too enthusiastic and opened the door for her. Since the elder was so kind, she could only bite the bullet and get into the car.
Lu Shiyuan glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
The girl was well-behaved and her back was straight. She grabbed the bag on her lap with both hands and looked forward. That look…
She looked like she was going to the execution ground and dying a heroic death.
She was sitting quite upright!
Su Xianyi was already at a loss, but she had not seen the car start for a long time. She turned her head to look at him, only to see Lu Shiyuan's hands on the steering wheel, staring at her without blinking.
That gaze was like a smile yet not a smile, causing her to panic inexplicably and her face to heat up.
"What, what's wrong?"
Lu Shiyuan reminded her in a low voice. "Seat belt."
Su Xianyi hurriedly reached out to pull it, but it was probably too fast, and the seatbelt was a little stuck. She was about to loosen it and then pull it harder, but another hand had already reached out.
He leaned over, half of his body lowered.
He grabbed the strap and smoothly pressed it into the lock.
From this angle, Su Xianyi could clearly see his thick eyelashes behind his lenses, casting a shadow on his face. His nose bridge was straight, and his facial features were delicate and tough.
She subconsciously held her breath and pursed her lips. His breath was ridiculously close.
Her heart was beating like a drum, and her body was burning. She could feel her face heating up.
"Alright."
Lu Shiyuan fastened his seatbelt and retreated back to the driver's seat. However, he still maintained his leaning posture and looked at her with a deep gaze.
"Where to?"
Su Xianyi was stunned for a moment before she said in a low voice. "Dijing Garden."
Her voice was soft and weak, and she even stuttered.
Lu Shiyuan's thoughts stirred. He nodded in a low voice and straightened to start the car.
However, Su Xianyi felt that the car was very hot, dry, and stuffy. She was almost suffocating. She lowered the window and took a breath.
The wind blew a trace of yellow fluff into the car. Su Xianyi sneezed, and Lu Shiyuan closed the car window remotely.
"Kingstown has a lot of sycamore catkins."
Su Xianyi rubbed her nose and said confidently, "It's okay. I'm not allergic to this."
There were two rows of Chinese parasol trees on the main street of Kingstown. It was said that they were planted during the Republic of China era. They were very beautiful and the leaves were yellow in autumn. It was also a sight in Kingstown. However, after spring, the Chinese parasol trees fluttered in the wind. At its peak, it was like a snowstorm. Many Kingstown people felt bitter about it.
This season was a living hell for people who had sinuses or sensitive skin.
..
At this moment, Su Xianyi's phone vibrated. Her father called.
It was nothing more than asking about the blind date.
"I believe that Yu'an is temporarily bewitched." Su Yongcheng's tone was helpless. "I watched this child grow up. There's nothing to bad say about his character and ability, but that woman is too scheming…"
Su Xianyi only replied perfunctorily.
Her father's meaning was self-evident.
He still wanted to continue this marriage.
The Su family had been in a slump these years, but the Wei family's business was booming. It was just that Lu Ruiqin had a good relationship with Xu Jie. Ever since Su Yongcheng and Xu Jie divorced, the Su family had been rejected even if they wanted to curry favor with the Wei family.
It was not easy to have such an opportunity, so he naturally did not want to miss it.
"...Anyway, I think Yu'an is a good child. It's impossible between him and that woman. Even if she had a baby, the Wei family won't let her in."
"A baby?" Su Xianyi frowned.
"It's said that the reporters took photos of the two of them going to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. Now, the entire Wei family is crazy and is spending money on public relations. Not many people know about it."
Su Xianyi replied in a low voice. No wonder Lu Ruiqin was so anxious just now.
The two of them must have gone to the hospital to get their brains checked. Some reporters could really brag about it with just a picture.
"Alright, I understand." Su Xianyi replied casually.
Being in the same space as Lu Shiyuan, she felt that the air was filled with his aura.
To her…
Fatal and dangerous.
She spoke in a low voice, so she was not in the mood to talk to her father or gossip about Wei Yu'an.
Su Yongcheng didn't seem to notice the abnormality in her voice. "Then you're coming back for dinner tonight?"
"I'm not going back. I just found a place and need to tidy it up."
"Child, there are so many rooms for you to live in. If you're not satisfied with anything, you can tell me. If you feel that it's inconvenient to go out, I can arrange a driver for you."
"Dad, there's no need to trouble yourself. My mom found the place."
Hearing that it was his ex-wife who found it, Su Yongcheng naturally couldn't say anything more.
"Where is the house? Is the security there good? What are the conditions? Do you need my help? If you need anything, just tell me."
"Dad, don't worry. I'm already so grown up."
"In my heart, you will always be a child."
After hanging up the phone, Su Xianyi heaved a sigh of relief.
In fact, her parents had been divorced for many years, and the number of times she had met Su Yongcheng could be counted on one hand. He had already started a new family, and now he had a son and daughter. Their feelings were somewhat distant.

There was no radio or music in the car, and no one was talking. It was a little depressing.
Su Xianyi was conflicted. She wanted to get closer to him, but she felt that she was suddenly so close to him. She couldn't stand it anymore. From time to time, she would light up her phone screen and check the time.
Dijing Garden was in the city, and the place to eat was also in the city. Logically speaking, they should have arrived.
"Where are we now? How long will it take?" Su Xianyi asked softly.
"Soon."
Su Xianyi pursed her lips. This answer…
He might as well not say it!
About ten minutes passed. "Is the place we're eating very far from Dijing Garden? It takes so long to drive."
At this moment, they happened to encounter a red light at the intersection. Lu Shiyuan stopped the car and tilted his head to look at her. "Do you think I drive too slow?"
Su Xianyi's pupils trembled slightly.
These words…
Why did it sound so strange?
"Actually, it's good to drive slowly. Safety is the most important thing." Su Xianyi smiled bitterly.
Lu Shiyuan nodded. "There's a speed limit in the city. Actually, I can drive very fast too. Do you like to ride a fast car?"
Su Xianyi held her breath. "I-I'm fine."
What kind of problem was he talking about?
Was she thinking too much?
Su Xianyi, you're too dirty. What are you thinking in your head? You're discussing serious driving problems. Your thoughts are too improper and impure!
It was only later that Su Xianyi found out that if a certain someone raced, the speed of the car…
If he stepped on the accelerator, he could send her flying to the sky.
