nXiang Xiaoyuan felt that it should be the latter.

n

nHowever, she was more and more curious about what could break Lu Wanggui’s calm expression. To make this man, who had always been confident, show another side of his personality, impatience, anxiety, uneasiness…

n

nImagining Lu Wanggui’s out-of-control appearance, Xiang Xiaoyuan pursed her lips, revealing a dimple on one side.

n

n“What are you laughing at?” Lu Wanggui caught her expression from the corner of his eye.

n

n“Nothing.” Xiang Xiaoyuan quickly came back to her senses. She thought that she was brave, but Lu Wanggui’s aura was too strong. This kind of aura was more palpable in a closed space. To break free of the oppressive feeling, she had to take the initiative in her own hands. “You often travel all over the world for business. You must have encountered a lot of such heavy rain or strong winds, right?”

n

nLu Wanggui found that Xiang Xiaoyuan was becoming a little too familiar now. If it was someone else, he would never answer such a meaningless question, but since he had received the grace of her family, Lu Wanggui patiently nodded. “Of course, I’ve encountered all kinds of situations since I’ve flown many times.”

n

nRegardless of her being a chatterbox or being abnormal, he could feel that Xiang Xiaoyuan did not have any malice toward him and Lu Bei.

n

nThe two of them continued to talk about the delayed flight. Lu Wanggui felt that Xiang Xiaoyuan’s topic was pointless, but he answered whatever she asked without the slightest bit of impatience. This might be the magical part of Xiang Xiaoyuan. She could turn an awkward conversation into a lively and interesting one through words, expressions, and some small movements.

n

nThe atmosphere in the car gradually warmed up. Xiang Xiaoyuan supported her chin as she listened to Lu Wanggui explain the cause of an airplane crash and the emergency response. At a certain point, she suddenly felt lucky that Lu Wanggui misunderstood her meaning of going out, because on the way to find Lu Bei, the distance between her and Lu Wanggui had shortened a little. At least, they were much more familiar with each other than when they first met.

n

nThe summer storm came and went quickly. When Lu Wanggui’s car stopped, the rain outside had also stopped. Xiang Xiaoyuan opened the car door and got out. There was a puddle of water at the spot where the car was parked. She accidentally pushed the car door a little too wide with a bang, as if she had hit the car next to her. She quickly moved closer to the car and looked left and right.

n

nWhen Lu Wanggui got out of the car, he saw Xiang Xiaoyuan turn on her flashlight. She bent down to check the car next to her. He walked over and asked, “Did you scrape it?”

n

nXiang Xiaoyuan wanted to cry but no tears came out. “I’m not sure. When I opened the car door just now, I moved a little too much. From the sound of it, I think I hit it, but I didn’t find any scratches.”

n

n“Yeah, it’s okay,” Lu Wanggui said in a low voice. “There are papers and pens in the car. I’ll write down Assistant Gao’s phone number. If I scrape it, the owner will call Assistant Gao.”

n

n“Okay.” Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded.

n

nLu Wanggui went around to the driver’s seat and got in. Just as Xiang Xiaoyuan wanted to confirm if there were any scratches on the other party’s car, a few male voices came from not far away

n

n“Xiang Xiaoyuan?”

n

n“Eh? It’s really her. I almost didn’t recognize her.”

n

nXiang Xiaoyuan straightened her body and looked at the source of the voice. A few young men and women were walking toward her.

n

nShe did not have the memories of the original owner, so she could not recognize them. However, she did not need to take the initiative to ask, these people began to introduce themselves. “Xiang Xiaoyuan, the company’s previous project made a lot of money. The boss was happy to organize a dinner party for every department. Initially, the boss did not give us enough money for the dinner party. It was Zhao Kai who was generous and paid the difference with his own money. If you hadn’t resigned back then, would you have come with us?”

n

nThe person who spoke sounded regretful about Xiang Xiaoyuan’s resignation, but Xiang Xiaoyuan wasn’t a fool. Anyone could tell that his tone was full of bragging.

n

nThis bar called the Spring Banquet was probably of high quality and not something an ordinary person could afford. This also explained why the bar would stop Teacher Yang, who wasn’t a member.

n

nXiang Xiaoyuan did not like their high and mighty tone. She would not have further interactions with a former colleague in the future, so her attitude was slightly cold. “Is that so? Congratulations.”

n

nA man with a beer belly glanced at the car beside her, his smile was subtle. “Xiaoyuan, is this your boyfriend’s car? It doesn’t have a local license plate. Tell him to be careful when he goes out. The city has very strict control over foreign license plates. Many places prohibit foreign cars from passing through.”

n

nFollowing the beer man’s words, the others also looked at the car beside Xiang Xiaoyuan. The license plate was very old. The body of the car was at least five or six years old. Men were naturally interested in cars and also liked to study these things. With a glance, they knew that this car cost around 100,000 yuan. It was not worth much.

n

nThe way they looked at Xiao Yuan instantly changed.
