Impulsiveness was the devil. The current Su Chenghui had fully understood this sentence.
At that time, he was indeed impulsive. Later, he wanted to explain his incompetence. In the process, he was afraid that others would see through it. Even though he knew that he felt guilty toward Su Qingsang, he didn’t dare to show too much closeness.
All of this was his fault. He couldn’t say anything more to defend himself. His voice became very soft, bitter and helpless.
“I was really just impulsive.”
Li Qianxue looked at him and realized that she had lost control. This wasn’t good.
She still remembered it and was still struggling. This meant that she hadn’t let it go. She had to learn to let it go.
The wind seemed to have gotten colder. Li Qianxue looked at Su Chenghui and took a step back.
“It is said that the feelings between a man and a woman are also caused by impulsiveness.” Li Qianxue’s voice was very soft. Her gaze was slightly cold, she looked at him. “Because of a moment of impulsiveness, I fell in love with a person. Because of a moment of impulsiveness, I wanted to get a person. After I got him, I realized that a moment of impulsiveness really hurts people.”
She used his own words against him. Just like that, Su Chenghui’s hand relaxed. Li Qianxue took a big step back again.
As she turned around, a gust of wind blew over. Li Qianxue’s footsteps paused for a moment. In just a moment, large drops of rain fell from above her head.
She stood on the side of the road and had nowhere to hide. Su Chenghui naturally saw it too. In just a short while, he quickly took off his suit jacket and covered her head.
“You…”
“The rain is very heavy. Let me send you to the car first.”
There was no umbrella and the car wasn’t here. If she refused again, she was afraid that it would all get wet.
Li Qianxue’s body didn’t move and her back was stiff. Su Chenghui looked at her with a helpless expression. “You would rather be sick than accept my help?”
“Yes.” Li Qianxue nodded. “I would rather be sick than accept your help.”
The atmosphere became stiff again. The rain outside became heavier. Su Chenghui felt helpless and sighed. “Why do you have to be like this? If you get wet and get sick, won’t you make the Old Master worry? Even if you accept my help this time, so what?”
Li Qianxue wanted to say, ‘of course something would happen’, but the rain above her head was indeed getting heavier. Su Chenghui covered her head with his suit jacket, and his body was already more than half wet.
Li Qianxue still wanted to say something, but Su Chenghui walked to her side and gently touched her with his shoulder.
“Let’s go. If the rain gets heavier, we won’t be able to leave in a while.”
Li Qianxue’s footsteps were very slow, but she was led forward by him.
The rain got heavier, and Su Chenghui’s body was almost completely wet. Li Qianxue’s upper body was protected by him and covered by the suit, so she didn’t get wet at all.
However, the high heels under her feet affected her speed, especially when she went up and down the stairs.
Su Chenghui used his shoulders as support. One hand was holding the corner of the suit jacket, and the other hand was holding her shoulders, so that she could walk steadily and not fall.
When Su Chenghui’s shoulder touched Li Qianxue’s, her body instantly stiffened. There was still his scent on the jacket. That scent was too familiar to her.
Realizing that she was distracted, Li Qianxue quickened her pace and walked forward.
“Get in the car.” Su Chenghui’s car stopped across the hotel. He opened the car door. It was too late for Li Qianxue to retreat. She could only get in the car.
Her head wasn’t wet, but her body and feet were wet. Su Chenghui covered her head with his suit jacket so that she wouldn’t get wet.
Su Chenghui was completely drenched. He closed the car door and quickly went to the other side to get in the car.
He opened the locker in front and took out a clean towel and handed it to Li Qianxue. “You can wipe yourself.”
“No need.” She sat there and didn’t want to take it. “You can use it yourself.”
“Wipe the water off your body. I’ll send you home.”
Su Chenghui was very stubborn. He placed the towel on Li Qianxue’s hand while he took out the napkin on the table and casually wiped the water off his face.
Li Qianxue looked at him and her gaze fell on the towel in her hand. She wasn’t that wet.
Su Chenghui had blocked the downwind just now, so the rain was falling on him. She casually wiped twice and handed the towel back to Su Chenghui.
“Thank you.” Su Chenghui took the towel from her hand and thanked her.
Li Qianxue frowned slightly. He gave her the towel and she used it. Should he thank her?
Su Chenghui wiped his hair dry. He was actually very wet. It would be really uncomfortable.
He glanced at Li Qianxue. “It will take at least an hour and a half to drive back to the Li family. Why don’t you go to my place? You can take a shower and change your clothes?”
“Su Chenghui? You –”
“My company is nearby at Shengda Garden. Do you remember? I’ve been living there for more than a year.”
“If you’re not free to send me home, I can ask Xiao Zhao to pick me up.”
“Qianxue, I’m not trying to do anything to you. I just want to tell you that it will only take ten minutes to get to Shengda Garden from here. Even if you ask Xiao Zhao to pick you up, it will still take you an hour and a half to get back to the Li family. Are you sure you want to wear wet clothes for an hour and a half?”
Li Qianxue was silent. She was a little mysophobic. It was okay if her upper body was clean. Her pants were all stuck to her body because of the rain. Her shoes were also full of water. She felt very uncomfortable.
“Don’t worry. Just take a shower and change your clothes.” Su Chenghui saw that Li Qianxue still wanted to refuse, so he couldn’t help but add, “I don’t want you to catch a cold.”
This sudden concern made Li Qianxue’s face darken. Before she could say anything, Su Chenghui had already started the car.
She couldn’t say anything to stop him. The rain was very heavy. Even with the windshield wipers on, the road ahead couldn’t be seen clearly.
Su Chenghui’s speed was very slow. It wasn’t past the evening rush hour yet, but there were many cars on the road in Lin City.
There were a few buildings in this area that were built by the Li family back then. Among them, there were two buildings that were her and Su Chenghui’s achievements.
Su Chenghui’s car took a turn in front, and he glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Following her line of sight, he also saw the buildings in front, including the building at the end of the road. The residential area he was living in now, Shengda Garden.
“There’s a new school next to Shengda Garden now, and the price has gone up quite a bit. Second-hand houses are in high demand.”
His voice made Li Qianxue turn her eyes to look at him. Su Chenghui was focused on driving, as if he didn’t notice her gaze. “I still remember when you and I worked overtime for this Shengda Garden for many days.”
Li Qianxue didn’t speak, so naturally, she also remembered.
She wouldn’t deny her cooperation with Su Chenghui on official matters, nor would she deny that Su Chenghui, who worked hard and was always very discerning, really attracted her at that time.
She still remembered that Shengda Garden’s plot of land wasn’t considered big at that time. After calculating the greenery ratio, the residential area wasn’t big enough.
