8 Living With a Temperamental Adonis 8 (1/2)

After Su Zhinian said that, he continued his phone conversation and walked upstairs, showing them his cold, hard back.

Auntie Su was made uncomfortable by her son's crisp rejection, so she smiled apologetically at Song Qingchun. ”Qingchun, don't take that to heart. That son of mine has always acted like this since he was a young boy.”

Song Qingchun smiled and acted like she did not mind it. ”It's okay, Auntie Su, I can go back on my own.”

Before Song Qingchun arrived, she had planned on catching a ride from Su Zhinian, so she did not drive there. After bidding Auntie Su goodbye, she picked up phone and hailed a cab using the ”Quber” service. Her ride was relatively far away, so she had quite some time to wait.

In the middle of winter, the hillside residential area had a lower temperature than the city. The wind was like needles piercing her bones, causing her to shiver in the cold.

Ten minutes later, her ride finally arrived. Song Qingchun laid her eyes one last time at the bungalow behind her. Then she opened the car door with a despondent sigh and got in. Another failure…

Song Qingchun really did not expect she would one day need to waste so much energy to meet a man, and to make matters worse, that man was Su Zhinian.

Actually, she was familiar with Su Zhinian's personality, it was one where other people did not exist in his eyes. Before, she was fine with it, if he ignored her, then she would ignore him as well, unlike now where she desperately needed his help.

However, she did not go away with no reward that night. When Su Zhinian was on his phone, she overheard him mention he would have a dinner meeting 8 pm at ”Eldorado” the day after.

…

The second the car left the bungalow, Su Zhinian came down the stairs. Auntie Su, who was already in her pajamas sitting in the living room, saw him and asked casually, ”Who were you on the phone with? The call was so long.”

Su Zhinian answered succinctly, ”Colleague.”
