Chapter 728 The side that bickers
When the car was almost at the location just around two minutes to reach, Guiying quickly said to Driver Su. “Um, please stop here.”
“There is still just a little more way to go, Mam,” he frowned, confused.
“I know, but I would like to get down here.”
She faced Zixin and explained. “I still think it’s better if we go separately inside. You can go ahead and I will follow after a few minutes later.”
Zixin pursed his lips, dissatisfied with this approach. But then again, his family had already forced her to share a ride with him. He thought the least he could do was let her do what she wanted now.
“Okay.”
Guiying sighed in relief. “Thank you.”
“I will get down here. You go first and I will enter some time later,” he nodded.
“…”
Driver Su coughed.
That’s Sir Zixin for you.
“Zixin, I cannot enter Chen Corps by stepping out from a lavish Porsche.”
“Why not?”
“Because this is clearly a CEO’s car and not someone who is just a writer. How will it look if the employees see the CEO walking his way to the office?”
“But how can I use this car when you will be walking out all alone in this heat?” He furrowed his brow. “That is so strange and unfair.”
“No, strange is me stepping out of a Porsche while the CEO comes walking,” she wiped the sweat off her forehead. “So thanks for your concern, but I will get down here.”
Zixin’s shoulders dropped but he couldn’t do much before Guiying’s stubbornness.
Guiying stepped out and waved him bye with a smile. Zixin asked Driver Su to go ahead.
“Yes, Sir.”
As the car gathered speed, he looked through the back glass window, watching Guiying walking towards the office at a faraway distance.
“Drive a little slowly.”
Driver Su obliged and he decreased the speed. Zixin, still not satisfied, asked to go some further slower.
“O-Okay…”
“A little more.”
“Yes, Sir…”
Zixin gauged the distance between her and the car. “More.”
“…”
“Sir, the car is practically crawling now.”
The car went at such a snail’s pace that the people around wondered if there was a problem with the Porsche. Guiying, who was walking behind, parted her lips, dumbfounded as she reached the car.
“How come you are still here?”
Driver Su cried his sorrow. “Mam, he just kept asking me to go slower and slower. He still wants me to go slow but how can I? You can also see that the car practically feels stopped, right?”
Her mouth twitched and she threw a suspicious stare at Zixin. “Are you troubling him to catch up to me?”
“Absolutely not,” Zixin lied through his teeth, his expression unfazed. “I was feeling a little dizzy with the high speed, so I asked him to slow down.”
Driver Su gasped.
What feeling dizzy? Are you faking your sickness!?
Guiying had trouble believing Zixin’s claim as well. “You were alright just a minute ago when I stepped down.”
He nodded. “Right. You got out and that’s when I started feeling sick. I miss you when you aren’t by my side.”
!!!
What was with that smooth, buttery line?
Driver Su had his jaw dropped too.
Sir is…Sir is flirting in broad daylight?
Guiying almost slipped on her own step with imaginary steam exploding from the top off her head. “Wh-What are you even talking about…! How can you miss me when we are going to meet just a few minutes later anyway?”
“That’s the pain of my heart in love.”
“…”
“How did you navigate through your days before today?” She asked with a heavily twitching mouth.
Zixin looked away. “I have a very responsible assistant.”
Her eyes widened, horrified.
Assistant Ling!
Is that why he looked so dead when he talked about work? Was Zixin dumping everything on him and torturing him?
Guiying’s nostrils flared, slightly raising her stern voice. “You cannot trouble others like that for your selfishness! Apologize to Mr. Su now.”
Zixin fixed his gaze at her with an unreadable expression. He then faced Driver Su with a lowered gaze. “Please forgive me.”
Driver Su felt as if he saw his messiah in Guiying.
You made Sir apologize to me? Y-you are so kind! I swear my undying loyalty to you, Miss. Cai! He shed emotional tears.
“Th-That’s fine Sir…”
Guiying nodded and said, “Apologize to Mr. Ling too when we meet him now. I won’t talk to you if you make others’ life difficult because of me or for me, got it? I am leaving now and you won’t follow me!”
With puffed up cheeks, Guiying turned and walked away with big strides.
Driver Su thought that Zixin would be sulking with the love of his life angry at him and berating him. On the contrary, Zixin had a one eighty degree difference in expression. He couldn’t control his ear-to-ear wide grin from settling down.
Was her scolding that traumatic to him that he is grinning like that?
“Are you okay, Sir?”
Translation – Do I need to take you to the hospital by any chance?
Zixin chuckled. “I am fine. I am very pleased to see Guiying mad at me.”
“…”
Is Sir secretly a masochist?
“There was…” he tilted his head, “how should I say, always this sense of restraint in her. It didn’t allow her to be open to me. She always acted very polite and cautious as if she was limiting herself. I wanted her to ease up all this time. It felt like…she was minding her tone and actions a lot and in my heart, it was hurting to see her that way. She has lived a life where she was forced to bury her emotions inside. Now, I want her to express everything that she holds in her heart.”
He smiled, his gaze filled with relief and warmth. “I love how she is kind and polite. How she blushes when we are close. But I would also love to see that side of hers who bickers, cutely argues, scolds me, puffs her cheeks and demands an apology. Because only then it would mean…that I truly reached her heart.”
