262: Chapter 42: What exactly do you want by following ?
Su San watched as Gu Xiaoxi’s figure disappeared into the distance, feeling unexpectedly reluctant to part ways.
The two of them had spent just half a day together, yet they had done things that others might not achieve in a lifeti.
His feelings towards her were a mix of admiration and fondness for her temperant.
That calm and composed nature in the face of events was not sothing everyone possessed.
Being Lu Xi’s apprentice, she was certainly no ordinary person.
To inherit Lu Xi’s racing skills was even more extraordinary.
“Take care on the road, and let’s stay in touch through our JIN accounts if you have ti,” Su San said with a tinge of lancholy.
He never expected that, at this point in his life, there would be soone he found hard to let go of.
Gu Xiaoxi waved grandly, her figure swiftly disappearing from sight.
*
Moving with a rhythmic gait, Gu Xiaoxi approached the edge of the thick woods where she saw that the police had already surrounded Su San’s and Korte’s cars.
She glanced back and saw that Su San clearly was not walking in her direction.
Only then did she feel at ease, continuing along the path through the woods for a distance, bypassing the police before erging onto the road, well away from the scene of the accident.
Suddenly, a small blue car stopped quickly in front of her.
Upon looking up, she saw a man in a blue military uniform sitting in the driver’s seat.
Gu Xiaoxi initially didn’t think much of it, but upon a closer look, she was startled.
“You, Danny…”
“Xiao Xi, we et again,” said Danny, dressed in his military uniform, looking even more handso than before.
Especially in the blue uniform and beret, which paired with his deep blue eyes, gave him the air of a prince straight out of a fairy tale.
“How do you know my na?” Gu Xiaoxi imdiately felt annoyed.
If this guy was part of the navy or a soldier from the front-line combat troops in Texas, this could an she was caught red-handed.
If she got nabbed because of Korte, that good-for-nothing, she might be in trouble with the military.
When she returned, she probably would have to write a 20,000-word self-criticism, and she did not even know if the authorities would forgive her.
It wasn’t her intention to cause trouble in Texas while on leave.
“I heard the conversation between you and your master.
I speak Huaxia Chinese very well.
Maybe I should say a few words for you to hear,” Danny said with an elegant smile.
Gu Xiaoxi suddenly rembered, during the Jin Cup award presentation, the host ntioned inviting the eldest son of Danny Nobility to present the award.
It turned out that Danny was just a family na, not his personal na at all.
Gu Xiaoxi quietly clenched her fists, her eyes filled with wariness as she looked at the man before her, “What’s your purpose in following ?”
“No purpose.
I just think you’re an extraordinary girl.
It’d be nice to get to know each other!” The man’s smile remained graceful.
Gu Xiaoxi would not believe his nonsense and turned to leave.
She intended to distance herself from him before he could catch her.
“Xiao Xi, you won’t be able to leave without my help,” the man’s voice ca from behind her, and at least for this mont, he seed very amiable.
Gu Xiaoxi paused, turned around, and said coldly, “Tell , what’s your na?
If we’re to get acquainted, let’s be honest with each other.”
“Jay.
You can call that,” Danny Jay said with a full-faced smile, “Now, will you tell your full na, beautiful girl?”
Gu Xiaoxi gave him a skeptical once-over.
Danny Jay explained again, “Rear Admiral of the Navy Century, Danny Jay!
The youngest of Danny’s family.
Now that I’ve revealed my identity to you, you should tell your full na!”
Damn!
A chill went down Gu Xiaoxi’s spine!
His identity was indeed remarkable.
She had stumbled upon a nobleman the mont she went out, and not just any nobleman at that.
Gu Xiaoxi scrutinized the man before her carefully, summarizing her situation in her head.
Then, she imdiately put on a friendly smile and said brightly, “As you can see, I am Lu Xi’s apprentice, living in Huaxia’s Luocheng.
My na is Gu Xiaoxi.
Nice to et you.
Since you think highly of , let’s be friends.
Could you do a favor and take to the airport?”
Speak as it may!
He didn’t know her background anyway, and a mix of truth and fiction would an that even if he checked, he might not find out everything about her.
Quan Shaoqing was not to be taken lightly.
Right now, her priority was to get away from here.
Whether he was an admiral or part of the Danny Nobility, it had nothing to do with her.
Danny scrutinized Gu Xiaoxi closely, apparently pondering the truthfulness of her words.
“Then get in the car!” Danny Jay said with an elegant smile, “Even if you lie to , it doesn’t matter.
Because I know you’re Lu Xi’s apprentice.
I’ll find out everything about you.”
Gu Xiaoxi got into the car, frowning unhappily.
What did this guy aim to achieve by prying into her background?
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi didn’t answer, Danny Jay drove the car while finding a topic to talk about, “You drive very well!”
“My master taught well!” Gu Xiaoxi leaned on the seat and took out her phone, and in this gap, she found information about Danny Jay.
The information showed that he was not only the youngest son of Danny’s family but also held the title of seventh duke conferred by The Royal Family.
At the sa ti, he served as the commander of Texas’ largest warship, the Century, with the rank of major general.
His position was almost on par with Xu Jingshen’s status in Huaxia.
However, he had more actual power and influence, a stronger family background, and higher social status.
It could be said that he was an extraordinary major general!
Moreover, out of the four sons of the Danny Family, only he was granted the title of duke.
His reputation and status alone were enough to show his uniqueness.
Earlier at the racetrack, she hadn’t paid attention to him.
If she rembered correctly, when he got out of the car, indeed, many people were supporting him.
It was just that the scene was too chaotic at the ti, and the screams were too loud; she hadn’t cared that the group of hysterical won were all there for him.
“Miss Gu is too modest.” Danny Jay smiled lightly, his eyes, under long eyelashes, as beautiful as an ocean.
He turned to look at Gu Xiaoxi, his gaze tender in a way that was indescribable.
Gu Xiaoxi felt goosebumps all over, praying for the car to quickly get to the airport.
To get away from this dangerous big shot.
…Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi had fallen silent again.
Danny Jay shook his head and sighed, “I’m not going to eat you.
You look scared of .”
Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes and forced a radiant smile, “Why should I be afraid of you?
It’s just that it’s getting late, and I need to catch a plane.”
“It’s only three o’clock now.
Rest assured, I have already had soone handle all the procedures for you.
When you arrive, you just need to go straight through, and it’s even a VIP passage.” Danny Jay quietly observed Gu Xiaoxi’s expression through the rearview mirror.
But to his disappointnt,
Gu Xiaoxi sat there, expressionless with cold eyes that did not reveal even a hint of her thoughts.
Logically speaking, ordinary won, upon eting him and knowing his identity, would be worshipful and wish they could leave their ho address, if not bashful and awestruck.
Gu Xiaoxi, however, showed so aversion to him and was fully on guard.
This made him feel quite frustrated.
On the rest of the journey, Gu Xiaoxi kept her mouth shut, saying nothing.
Danny Jay drove the car, a smile surfacing in his eyes once more, and turned to Gu Xiaoxi with a light tone, “Who was the master on the phone that day?
Did he teach you Inner Strength?”
Damn!
The more she listened to him talk, the more Gu Xiaoxi felt like blowing up.
This guy’s brain, what was it made of, he had actually heard her entire conversation with her master.
And he even knew about sothing as profound as Inner Strength.
Who says foreigners don’t understand Huaxia culture?
Looking at this guy, it seems he understands it better than many nationals.
“Mr.
Danny, please respect my privacy?” Gu Xiaoxi flatly refused, determined not to reveal anything about herself to outsiders.
She had been careless during the previous phone call with her master.
Fortunately, she was vigilant at the ti and did not bring up other matters.
“Xiao Xi, we are already friends.
I hope you can be a bit more open.”
“Stop the car!” Gu Xiaoxi felt that arguing with this guy was just a waste of ti.
What friend?
Having known each other for less than six hours, where in the world does one make friends so cheaply?
Danny Jay hit the brakes and pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Gu Xiaoxi turned and pushed open the car door, stepping out.
As soon as she got out of the car, she heard a loud “crack.”
Thunder rumbled overhead, followed by the sight of a heavy downpour falling from above.
Gu Xiaoxi cursed and quickly climbed back into the car.
Right then, a heavy rain passed by, stopping just as abruptly as it had started.
Gu Xiaoxi looked out at the clear skies, the previous shower having fallen in a very strange way.
She turned to look at Danny Jay, her eyebrows tightly knitted.
“Gu Xiaoxi, I told you.
Unless I personally take you to the airport, there’s no way you can get there,” Danny Jay curled his lips into a smile, his skin pale as snow, and his blue eyes shimred with a bright smile.
“Let’s not beat around the bush!
I just want to ask you, after following for such a big loop, what exactly do you want?” Gu Xiaoxi turned back, her cold gaze clashing with his blue eyes.
