Chapter 51: Good-looking, Want to Kiss
He walked over and stood at the window of the idling car, lifting his hand to knock.
The car window slowly rolled down.
Wen Xian, wearing sunglasses, rested her uninjured hand on the steering wheel.
Seeing him appear, she turned her head with a slight smile, "Captain Lu, aren't you supposed to be buying me underwear? Is there anything else?"
The hint of a smile always played on her lips, seemingly indifferent to the words he had said before.
As if it was nothing to her.
Lu Xiao stared at her, his tone cold, "Get out of the car, driving with one hand is not safe."
His intention couldn't be clearer.
Get in his car.
Unexpectedly, Wen Xian raised her gauze-wrapped hand to look at it and laughed, "It's okay, it's not a big issue, I can still—"
"You can't."
He cut her off before she could finish, Lu Xiao's lips pressed tight, and when he spoke again, his tone was somewhat stern:
"This is the center of town with heavy pedestrian traffic. Your hand is injured, you may not care about your own safety, but you can't disregard the lives of others."
Wen Xian: "..."
Listening to his explanation, she seemed to freeze for a moment, then finally averted her gaze, looked down, and chuckled in a somewhat embarrassed manner, "Yes, Captain Lu is right to scold me, I shouldn't be so selfish."
After speaking, she turned off the ignition, took her keys and bag, and prepared to exit the vehicle.
Lu Xiao watched her exit the car, lock the door, then flash him a slight smile before turning to walk toward her own car.
"..."
He took a deep breath, his jaw set tight.
What game was she playing now?
Wasn't she capable of arguing, of being aggressive?
How come now it seemed as if whatever he said was right?
When Lu Xiao got back into the car, the air around him was even colder, his lips tightened, his face as if frosted over.
Without a word, he started the car.
Wen Xian didn't speak either, merely gazing down at her phone or occasionally looking out the car window. In any case, she no longer said another word to him.
It was as if, after he told her he wasn't someone she could toy with, she had lost all interest.
Even to the point of staying silent.
It was almost an implicit admission that she had been just playing around.
She was a big star, wealthy, attractive, with a great figure, she could have any man she wanted with just a beckoning gesture.
But he, of course, was not the kind of man who could be easily swayed by a flirtatious advance!
Otherwise, what difference would there be between him and those other men?
His upbringing, his own principles, wouldn't allow him to act in such a manner!
Both were silent, the atmosphere between them grew quieter and more delicate as his coolness and her silence prevailed.
However, just as Lu Xiao was pulling on the handbrake, ready to step on the gas, his gaze inadvertently swept over to a spot and he suddenly paused.
He turned his head, looking toward Wen Xian.
Wen Xian's right hand was injured, her left hand clumsily struggling with the seatbelt, clearly struggling because of using just one hand, failing several times to secure it.
At that moment,
accompanied by a shadow, Wen Xian felt the unique cool, tobacco-tinged breath that belonged to him wash over her face.
Hunching over, his large hand effortlessly pulled and fastened her seatbelt for her.
His handsome and resolute profile was now incredibly close to her, as if a slight lift of her head would brush against his face.
The sunlight poured down, bathing them both.
Wen Xian's long, curling, crow-wing like eyelashes fluttered gently a couple of times.
So, the next second,
she tilted her chin up and accidentally, her lips grazed his cheek.
"..."
In that moment, the man's body tensed up.
[PS mini-theater: Wen Xian: I'm so sorry, Captain Lu, it wasn't on purpose.
Lu Xiao: I don't believe you for a second!]
