Chapter 269 - Apologize (2/2)
''Oh?” Father-in-law wrapped up his work in Amaranthine so fast? She was amused, ”Thanks for letting me know,'' She nodded at them and walked back to her room.
Maybe, he was so desperate to see his wife that he could not delay it any longer and he did not even bother to meet her or his son before he left.
She sat on the bed, swinging her legs while waiting for Jun Zixuan to come back.
Shall I call him? She wondered as she picked up her phone from the bed.
But something else caught her attention. There was a small printed note near the pillow, 'Come to the elevator. We have a lot to talk about.'
She was speechless.
He sure was eager to know about her. But she was not so eager to tell him about that. She wiped her sweaty palms on her bodycon dress as she walked towards the elevator while contemplating whether their date was planned in this mansion.
Her footsteps came to a halt as she stood in front of the elevator. Taking a deep breath, just as she was about to step inside, she felt something covering her vision.
”What surprise exactly are you planning?” She could not help but smile as she felt a grip around her wrist while she was helped inside the elevator.
She was taken to who knows where while she felt the grip on her wrist loosening as her fingers came in contact with his rough fingers. He raised her hand and twirled her around.
”I am dizzy, Zixuan,” She leaned closer to him for support as she pressed her face on his chest. Her brows tugged together slightly when the scent of the unfamiliar cologne hit her nose.
She quickly stepped back from the man and removed the blindfold from her eyes. Her jaws dropped, ”You…!!?” She closed her eyes and inhaled a deep breath, ''Why is it you?”
”Were you expecting my brother?” Jun Zihao glanced at her questioningly as he ran his thumb across his jaws.
She glanced at his half swollen face before looking around the beautifully decorated terrace. She walked past him without talking with him.
He grabbed her hand and twirled her around. Her hair flipped with the sudden movement and she was caught off guard.
But before she could do any damage to his wrist like last time, he let go of her hand and knelt in front of her.
”What are you doing?” She glanced at him in confusion as she retreated a few steps.
''I want to apologize.''
”For what?”
”For the way I treated you back then,'' He glanced at her with an earnest gaze.
”It does not matter anymore and I don't hold any grudge against you,” She shook her head, ”If that is it, I am leaving.”
''Wait!!”
”What do you want now?” She was already nervous about her date with Jun Zixuan and now this man was wasting the energy that she had collected by meditating since morning.
