"You know, these people are like our benefactors, the ones who put food on our table. We have to serve them well."
Du Feixue also understood that An Kexin's company had to do a lot of extra work to secure a business deal.
She waved dismissively and said, "Work is important. Missing one al isn't a big deal. But,"
she concernedly advised, "Can't you send a subordinate to deliver it? Aren't you afraid the person might keep both you and the wine?"
An Kexin chuckled, suddenly let out a loud "ha", did a high kick, landed in a combat stance, and then mimicked Bruce Lee by wiping her nose with her thumb, confidently saying, "He wouldn't dare!"
"With you dragging to practice Sanda and self-defense for over a year, it wasn't all for nothing."
The two of them went downstairs together and arrived at the parking lot in front of the building!
Du Feixue asked suspiciously, "Aren't you going to deliver wine? Why didn't you bring any!"
"The really good bottles are kept at ho; the wine here at the office isn't the best." An Kexin explained!
Du Feixue made an understanding sound and laughed, "Seems like this person is a very important client for you! But really, wine is just wine, and they probably wouldn't notice if it's slightly inferior."
An Kexin just smiled, without saying a word!
Du Feixue looked at the increasingly gloomy weather and reminded again, "Kexin, there's going to be a typhoon landing tonight, with strong winds and heavy rain. Make sure you don't get stuck outside! Goodbye!"
An Kexin waved goodbye to Du Feixue and drove her rcedes SUV towards ho.
The fierce wind mixed with raindrops as big as soybeans pounded on the car windows, with thunder occasionally booming overhead.
The rain was so dense that Lin Jie could hardly see the road ahead.
Fortunately, the residential area wasn't too far away, and he cautiously drove the car forward based on mory.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Miao felt the intensity of the rain and wind outside, and each thunderclap made her unconsciously flinch.
However, sitting beside Lin Jie, she felt very safe.
Lin Miao concernfully advised, "Brother, in such weather, you don't have to pick up specifically. I can sleep at the store."
Lin Jie reached out to touch Lin Miao's head, deliberately ssing up her hair.
This made Lin Miao a bit anxious, humming from her throat like an angry kitten.
Lin Jie retracted his hand and said with a smile, "I know you well. With such loud thunder, you'd end up sleeping in the store's small room scared like a little kitten, unable to sleep a wink through the night."
"Geez, the wind and rain ca so suddenly. It was just overcast an hour ago."
After saying this, he asked, "Miaomiao, has Kexin responded yet?"
Lin Miao lightly brushed her hair, shook her head, and waved her phone, saying, "Not yet, I've sent several voice ssages, but she hasn't replied, and she didn't answer the call either!"
She complained, "Brother, you're really sothing."
"You can't drink yourself, so why did you have to make Kexin deliver wine for you? In such weather, accidents are prone to happen."
Lin Jie gave a sowhat regretful, awkward smile.
He didn't expect the wind and rain to arrive so suddenly!
After contacting An Kexin, he drove ho and felt increasingly uneasy about the ominously dark sky, deciding to pick up Lin Miao first.
When he picked up Lin Miao, the storm was about to hit with full force.
When he tried to contact An Kexin again, he couldn't reach her.
Lin Jie guessed that An Kexin might be driving herself, focusing on the poor road conditions and didn't hear her phone ring.
The car finally stopped in front of Building Six of Jingtai District, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the intimidating rain, he worried that the rainwater would flood the underground parking, so he parked the car on the roadside in front of the building.
Holding an umbrella, Lin Jie and Lin Miao ran into the building's entrance. In just the short seven or eight ters distance, their clothes were soaked more than halfway!
Taking the elevator to the eighteenth floor, Lin Jie was stunned as soon as he exited.
A woman, drenched from head to toe, was crouching in front of the door.
He widened his eyes and exclaid in surprise, "Kexin!"
The woman before him stood up, and called out pitifully, "Lin Jie! Lin Miao!"
While the voice was still An Kexin's, it had lost its usual calm gentleness, mixed with a touch of joy at seeing friends, a bit of grievance, and a sobby tone.
At that mont, An Kexin carried a dripping wet handbag, standing there barefoot as if she had just been fished out of water.
Her light-colored shorts and pale red short-sleeved shirt clung to her body, and her long hair lay in strands against her head and face, still dripping water.
Lin Jie also noticed a sizable scrape on the outside of her left calf and left arm, with blood still oozing out.
Seeing that An Kexin was still holding an intact bottle of red wine in her right hand, Lin Jie felt even more guilty and quickly opened the door to let her in.
More than twenty minutes later, after a hot shower, clad in Lin Jie's T-shirt and casual shorts, An Kexin erged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her head and walked into the living room!
She saw Lin Jie waiting with a ho dical kit in hand.
Lin Miao, sitting next to Lin Jie, stood up upon hearing the noise and said, "Kexin, your clothes have been washed, but they'll need so ti to dry."
