Now, there was only a cunning gleam in his dark eyes as he gazed at her. The corner of his lips twitched upward into a smirk. He was in a bright mood, for she had fallen into his trap. “Turn around now,” he ordered. “We’re dropping Mrs. Xi at the school.”
Xi Tian paused. They were now on a one-way street, so if they had to make a u-turn, wouldn’t he get a ticket?
Su Jin quickly typed in her text-to-speech. “Whoa, Boss. You just read my mind there. We do have chemistry. Look how in tune we are!”
Suppressing a smile, he nodded. They were husband and wife, and their chemistry, of course, ca with the package.
Xi Tian, in the driver’s seat, had almost rolled his eyes at the shaless couple. But, orders were orders. He had to go with it.
The tires screeched to a stop. Seeing how they weren’t en route, Xi Chenxiao asked, “What’s the matter?”
He turned and t Su Jin’s anxiety-ridden face, and he demanded again, “Turn around now. If Mrs. Xi’s late for class, then you’re not getting your bonus for the month. The sa goes for your paycheck.”
F*ck. If Xi Tian could, he’d love to blast the two of them off into space. What does the mute girl being late for class have to do with him? Taking away his bonus and paycheck? That was too far after all this PDA. Not to ntion getting a ticket for breaking the law—he’d never once gotten any derit points since he got his license.
Su Jin pursed her lips and typed, “Uh, you’ve got to move, Xi Tian. School. I’m getting late, and I won’t be getting my attendance.”
Xi Tian watched as the cars blasted past them, his mind focused on how difficult it was to make a u-turn with a car that size and the traffic. Although reluctant, he explained respectfully, “It’s not that I don’t want to make a turn, Madam, with the terrible traffic. I’m waiting for the right chance to avoid accidents.”
She sighed and nodded.
Frowning, Xi Chenxiao used his index finger and tapped Su Jin’s forehead, voice serious as he spoke, “No more telling soone else to move, mute girl.”
Su Jin pressed her palms on her forehead, face puzzled and innocent. What did he an? What did she do wrong?
“You’re a lady, so behave like a lady. So words are inappropriate for one.” After adding his reason, he grabbed the file from the seat pocket and studied it, no longer giving her his attention.
Su Jin’s eyes were still stuck on him, and she couldn’t grasp what he’d just said. Eventually, she gave up and left her mind blank. Maybe successful n like him all had specific triggers.
Giving his all, Xi Tian finally made a u-turn and went against the traffic’s direction. No tickets could match up to his pay and bonuses. Thank goodness they reached on ti.
Su Jin didn’t waste any ti to bid goodbye, and she hopped off the car as soon as it pulled over, ready to dash. She opened the door, but soone yanked her arm. She looked over her shoulder, confused, at Xi Chenxiao. What was he doing? Let go!
There was a subtle hint of red in his ears, yet the expression on his face remained cold and distant. “Tonight, after school. Don’t forget you’re coming to my room..”
