Qi Jingren humd in agreent and said earnestly, "Not answering your calls was due to work; I’ve been too busy."
Mr. Qin propped his hand against the door fra, blocking her path, and looked at her like a child throwing a tantrum, "Either way, choose one: go have dinner or I’ll drive you ho."
"Fine, let’s have dinner then," Qi Jingren shrugged, "Since you’re paying anyway."
Around ten o’clock, the moon appeared in the night sky, its light faint and mysterious.
Shi Aoju parked the car steadily at the entrance of Ciaos, waiting for Su Jiuyi, and in less than two minutes, she ca out from inside.
Leaning against the car window, looking at the little woman whose face still looked a bit pale, Shi Aoju subconsciously furrowed his brows.
Su Jiuyi glanced in his direction and walked over with resolve.
As she approached, Shi Aoju gave her a casual glance and said, "Get in."
Su Jiuyi nodded, cautiously opening the car door, afraid that her movents might upset this man.
She sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt under Shi Aoju’s reminder.
She wanted to say sothing, but just at that mont, her stomach started growling.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, her face turned red, and she secretly glanced over at the man beside her, worried he might be disgusted, but unexpectedly, he was smiling.
His sexy lips curved slightly upward, and a hint of deep yet gentle amusent appeared in his deep eyes.
This man looks quite handso when he smiles.
He always appeared aloof and superior, but right now, he seed extraordinarily gentle.
This change left Su Jiuyi a bit at a loss, and she tugged at the corner of her T-shirt, pretending not to see him, looking out the car window.
Not knowing what to say to ease the atmosphere, she decided to remain silent.
Between them, it seed easy to fall into awkwardness.
"What do you want to eat?" When asking this question, he put away his smile, returning to his previous deanor.
"No need, I..."
"What to eat?" Shi Aoju didn’t give Su a chance to finish speaking, cutting her off domineeringly.
Su Jiuyi turned her face slightly to look at him, initially wanting to refuse, but when she opened her mouth, the words changed, "Anything is fine."
"Okay."
The car pulled away, and after about seventeen or eighteen minutes’ drive, it stopped outside a secluded alley.
The luxury car worth millions parked here made Su Jiuyi look at him curiously, her eyes full of questions.
"Get out." He reminded coolly and unfastened his seatbelt, getting out of the car.
Su Jiuyi understood and followed suit, getting out and trailing behind him.
The two walked one behind the other into the alley, it was an old alley with so history, and the street lamps were dim.
Despite the poor environnt, the alley was bustling, with a few children playing soccer and laughter echoing from not far ahead.
Seeing the children, Su Jiuyi thought of her childhood; she was different from other children because her mother passed away early, making her sowhat introverted and often preferring to hide in her room alone.
Later, her father married another woman, and initially, the stepmother was very nice to her, gradually helping her move past the pain of losing her mother.
Until Su Manning was born, and the stepmother no longer had the leisure to care for her, her temper turned bad, and she started to often scold and hit her.
