28 Coincidence ? (2/2)
Regardless, Bai Quan still confessed to her after work today while dressed in a branded Xiaoit, and despite failing in his advances, he continued to pester Xiao Shiyu, causing her much distress.
”Bai Quan, I've said before that it's impossible for the both of us, I don't have any feelings for you,” said Xiao Shiyu in exasperation.
”That's impossible, I know you like me, Shiyu,” Bai Quan replied, ”why else would you give me chocolates on your first day here? Why else would you send me to the hospital when I Xiaoffered from a heatstroke that day?”
”I gave chocolates to everyone,” said Xiao Shiyu helplessly, ”and that time with the heatstroke, I was the only person around, if I didn't send you to the hospital, who would?”
Bai Quan shook his head, his eyes burning with passion and confidence.” Shiyu, give me one chance. I will make you the happiest woman alive. You have to trust me, I'm different from before.”
Xiao Shiyu touched her forehead in frustration.
At this instant, a Porsche Panamera skidded to a halt beside them, and under Xiao Shiyu's shocked glance, Zhao Yao rolled down the car window and assessed the situation. ”Xiao Shiyu? Need a hand?”
Faced with a sports car, Bai Quan frowned and released his grip on Xiao Shiyu's shoulders.
Xiao Shiyu, heaving a sigh of relief, rushed to the front passenger seat and said, ”Zhao Yao, I'll have to trouble you to send me home.”
Zhao Yao examined Bai Quan and replied, ”Need me to call the police?”
”No need to, he's my colleague. He's not a bad person, just slightly childish.”
Bai Quan didn't stop Xiao Shiyu from boarding the car, only looking at Zhao Yao with hostility.
”Who are you? What's your relationship with Shiyu?”
Xiao Shiyu took the initiative. ”He's my classmate. Bai Quan, I really do not have any feelings for you. Things like relationships cannot be forced, go back and calm down a little bit.”
Bai Quan gave a wry smile, eyeing the sports car in front of him.” No feelings? Ultimately, you just think I don't have money, right? Some other guy comes around in a sports car and you're head over heels for him.”
”But let me tell you, you will regret this.”
Zhao Yao shook his head and replied, ”Don't force the isXiaoe, dude. If she doesn't like you, why continue pestering her?”
Bai Quan shot Zhao Yao a cold stare. ”You think you're good just because you have money? Your money was all handed to you by your parents. What else do you have other than money?”
”I...” Zhao Yao rolled his eyes. He wondered where he mentioned money in their conversation. However, he was indeed amused and felt like his ego was stroked after getting chastised for having nothing except money, and he let the corners of his lips lift and betray his feelings.
From the perspective of Bai Quan, this smugness was a smile of arrogance and degradation.
Bai Quan looked them both in the eye. ”Just a piece of advice for you nouveau riche, this world is not as simple as you imagine it to be. Money is useless most of the time.” Then, he turned his back on them and left.
Xiao Shiyu gave a guilt-ridden smile. ”Sorry, I didn't expect him to be so extreme.”
Zhao Yao glanced at Xiao Shiyu, who was seated in the front passenger seat. Her tight-fitting Xiaoit enhanced her physique; her long hair tied up in a ponytail further highlighted her business-like demeanor.
Upon hearing zXiao Shiyu's apology, Zhao Yao shook his head and replied, ”I'm fine. More importantly, what about you? He's your colleague, he might still harass you.”
Xiao Shiyu frowned. ”In the worst-case scenario, I would have to resign.”
Xiaoddenly, she looked around at the Panamera and smiled. ”Is this your new car? Looks great. Seems expensive.”
”It's okay, a million dollars, ” Zhao Yao replied. ”You might not believe me, but I didn't really want to buy it.”
Xiao Shiyu looked at the Panamera with envy. ”I envy you, so young and yet you already have a car and a house. You already have a place to call your own within Jiangmen.”
Zhao Yao knew that Xiao Shiyu did not hail from the city and that she only got into a school in Jiangmen through examinations. To her, a house and a car might be a lifelong goal.
He comforted her. ”I'm just lucky. Don't worry, with your capabilities, a house is only a matter of time. Where do you live? I'll send you home.”
At this instant, a meow was heard. Xiao Shiyu turned around in Xiaorprise and saw Matcha standing upright and proudly in the back seat, looking at her.
