457 Her Approach 10 (1/2)

He looked at her in silence for a long time. She also wasn't saying anything, but from her facial expression, it was obvious that she was struggling with some sort of suspicion.

Su Zhinian lowered his head to hide the rising anxiety in his heart. After he calmed himself, he raised his eyes to interrupt Song Qingchun's rumination by saying, ”The washing machine seems to have finished already.”

Song Qingchun came to, and before she could say anything, Su Zhinian added in a light tone, ”It's getting late; I should rest too.”

Actually, he didn't want to chase her away, but since he couldn't read her mind, he was afraid of arousing her suspicion even more should she try to interrogate him further. He could never let her know he was the guardian angel she had been looking for all along.

Song Qingchun understood the meaning inherent in Su Zhinian's words. He wanted her to leave already.

Even though she still had many unanswered questions, she herself hadn't managed to wrap her head around the issue, so she had no idea how and what to ask Su Zhinian even if she wanted to.

Since he had already brought up the fact that he needed to rest, she couldn't shamelessly stay anymore. Therefore, she suppressed her internal queries and said, ”I'll go take a look.”

Su Zhinian nodded, but instead of following her orders, he stood up and said, ”I'll send you out.”

”That won't be necessary.” Song Qingchun immediately shook her head. ”You're still recovering, so you'd better stay put. I've already called a taxi; it'll be here soon.”

Song Qingchun was afraid that Su Zhinian would insist, so she added, ”I'll message you when I reach home.”
