Chapter 69 - No Way
"What are you doing here?"
Ling Yue approached his car and looked down slightly to see Xi Jian more clearly.
"Boss, why are you here?" Ling Yue asked in return. "The inauguration ceremony was over three hours ago."
Xi Jian stared at her for a while. "None of your business. And you? What are you doing in the middle of the road like this?"
Ling Yue wanted to reply 'none of your business' as well but in the middle of this dim night, Xi Jian's presence was like a fallen angel, even though Xi Jian looked more like a grim reaper. Ling Yue's heart struggled with her brain. She was really tired. She wants to go back quickly so she considerated push herself into Xi Jian's car, but couldn't bear to leave the driver alone. In the midst of her inner conflict, their mini van return. Ling Yue breathed a sigh, relief. It took one hour and more to commute from here to the hotel.
"Our transportation's having a problem, I'm waiting for my turn to be picked up, and they finally come." Ling Yue turned her head where the driver was sitting, half asleep. She patted the old man's shoulder slowly.
"Hey, mister. The car is here."
The old man rubbed his eyes and turned his eyes to the two cars that stopped behind the bus. Ling Yue took her bag, at the same time Xi Jian got out of the car.
"Where are you going?" Ling Yue who trailed behind the driver stopped.
"I want to go back to the hotel."
"Come on in." Xi Jian opened the car door. "You can take that car there, Sir, this woman will go with me."
The old man glanced at Ling Yue. "Do you know this man, Miss?"
"Sort of."
"Then that's fine. It's better if you leave quickly. Who knows, the longer you're here, there is a chance 'something' will appear." The man chuckled, remembering how scared this young woman had been. He climbed into the van and left.
Ling Yue looked around and immediately entered Xi Jian's car without saying another word. "That damn old man! how dare he scare me!"
"Hey."
"WHAT??" Ling Yue's voice surprised Xi Jian and the driver, was apparently Bai Xu. "Uh, sorry." With restrained embarrassment, Ling Yue looked down. "You surprised me."
Xi Jian looked at her in amazement. "I didn't know you were afraid of ghosts."
"I'm not afraid, I just hate it! I hate being shocked all of a sudden!" Ling Yue argued. "And why are you here? You should have come when the inauguration took place." Ling Yue realized as Bai Xu turned the car around. "You said there was business but why..." they back down the mountain road.
Don't tell me he came here on purpose to pick her up? Ling Yue dumped that thought away. No way...
Bai Xu or Xi Jian didn't speak a word, making the situation in the car so quiet, made Ling Yue sleepy and fell asleep.
Xi Jian, who was watching Ling Yue earlier, grabbed her head and put her in his shoulder.
Xi Jian really couldn't attend the inauguration ceremony today. But he has a meeting with some people tomorrow morning, so he came tonight.
When he arrived at the hotel, he saw his employee had just returned, which should have returned two hours ago. Xi Jian tells Bai Xu to find out and finally makes him come to fetch Ling Yue. They arrived back at the hotel past midnight.
"We arrived."
Xi Jian patted Ling Yue's knee. "Hmm ..." only that voice was heard, Ling Yue didn't open her eyes and instead hugged Xi Jian even more. Xi Jian had no choice but to carry her . Bai Xu retreated after making sure his boss survived into the elevator.
"What's the room number?" Xi Jian asked and almost bang his forehead to the side of the elevator when he realized that Bai Xu was not in.
"Shit! Hey Ling Yue, wake up! Which floor that your room?""
He shaked Ling Yue in his arms, but Ling Yue was too tired to open her eyes. She sleeps like a death person if she was too tired. Xi Jian had no choice but to take her to his room. He put Ling Yu on the bed and loosen his tie.
"This woman! She really sleeps like a rock!" Xi Jian threw himself on the sofa, before finally taking a shower and getting ready to sleep. Now the problem is, where should he sleep?
