Chapter 38: I'm afraid they can't afford it
The ntion of 'crossing boundaries' made Xie Third tense up.
He stood upright on the spot, casting a respectful glance at Xie Xuan before lowering his gaze, avoiding direct eye contact.
"I made a slip of the tongue, please punish , Master!"
While he verbally had a lapse of tongue, his deeply ingrained impression of Lu Haiqiao as a decorative vase was apparent.
"I'll let it go this ti," Xie Xuan put his right hand with the red rope bracelet behind his back. He walked back to his desk. "But if I hear it again next ti, regardless of who utters them, there will be severe consequences."
"I understand."
"Now, leave."
"Yes."
After Xie Third left, silence once again enveloped the office.
At this mont, the computer on the desk had gone into sleep mode due to prolonged inactivity.
In the split second when the screen went dark, he reached out and grabbed the coffee cup on the desk.
He downed the coffee in one gulp.
After tossing the coffee cup aside, causing it to clash with the saucer, making a clear ringing sound.
At this mont, a ray of sunlight shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass.
Xie Xuan leaned against the office desk. He turned to face the sowhat glaring sunlight, his thoughts unknown.
...
The next day, a workday.
Early in the morning, Lu Haiqiao went to work as usual.
Just as she reached the main road, a green AMG GT, emitting the low roar of a sports car, smoothly pulled up in front of her.
The car window rolled down, and Xu Duo waved at her. "Hi, beautiful, do you need a driver?"
Lu Haiqiao walked closer, first glancing at the whole car, and then casually leaning her elbow on the roof while looking down at her. "When did you change your car?"
She had recently bought the BMW X7.
"Sending a beauty to work requires a new car to show my sincerity," Xu Duo pushed her oversized sunglasses up to her head, revealing her exquisite face. "Let's go. If we don't leave now, you'll be late."
With that, Lu Haiqiao walked around the front of the car and got into the passenger seat.
Once she fastened her seatbelt, she heard Xu Duo asking, "Hey, isn't your good friend already back in town? Why aren't you driving to work?"
Lu Haiqiao propped her chin up with her right hand and looked at the street scene outside the window. "I'm doing this for the sake of all car owners in B City."
Xu Duo: "???"
What do you an?
"In case there are so bumps or scratches along the way, I'm afraid they can't afford it."
Xu Duo: "..."
Let know in advance when you are driving, I'll be the first to keep my distance from you.
...
Twenty minutes later, Xu Duo's car stopped in front of the 'Jolie Fille' magazine.
Xu Duo watched as Lu Haiqiao unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car. Then she whistled in a flirtatious manner, "Beauty, are you free for dinner tonight?"
Lu Haiqiao leaned into the car and asked, "Do you want to have dinner with , or do you want to have dinner with Lu Xuege?"
Caught off guard by the direct question, Xu Duo blinked and blushed.
"Alright," Lu Haiqiao, who had seen through everything, straightened up. "I'll ask Lu Xuege out when it's almost ti to get off work."
A satisfied smile was shown on Xu Duo's lips. "Thanks, baby!"
Lu Haiqiao closed the car door with a backward glance. "Alright, you should leave quickly. You can't park here, or you'll be fined."
Xu Duo made an 'OK' gesture with her hand, then released the brake and drove away.
At that mont...
"Lu Haiqiao!" Soone suddenly called her just as she was about to walk towards the office building.
Lu Haiqiao had no intention of stopping and continued to walk at her usual pace.
