Chapter 1019: I’ll Say It One Last Time, Get Out of the Car
Upon seeing her face clearly, her fair skin was untouched by any artificial traces, and her long eyelashes fluttered as she frowned, leaning against the window, staring outside.
Glancing down at the time on his wristwatch, he spoke in a cold tone, "Miss, please get out of the car. I need to leave."
Turning her head to look at him, Xu Kun was dressed in something other than his usual suit today, less businesslike and more charming in a unique way. Rather than getting out, she fastened her seatbelt, "Just as well, I’m leaving too. Could you please give me a ride?"
Xu Kun: "..."
Had he said he would give her a ride?
"I did the favor you asked for, but now I need to go home. You can get out now, thank you."
"No need to thank me. I never planned to get out."
He gripped the steering wheel, not fond of giving strangers a ride, "I’ll say it one last time, get out of the car!"
"Why are you being so fierce?! Is this how you treat a girl, without a trace of gentlemanliness? Those people left not long ago. What if they come back when you leave me here? Can you bear to let a girl be taken away by them?"
She rattled off a whole bunch in one breath, prompting Xu Kun to stop her quickly, "Okay, okay, you’re worried they’ll come back, right? Then tell me where you need to go, and I’ll take you there, deal?"
Hearing this, the girl immediately smiled and fastened her seatbelt quickly, sitting obediently in her seat. Seeing that he seemed in no hurry to drive, she couldn’t help but urge him, "Didn’t you say you were leaving? Why are you hesitating?"
"Where to?"
"Haven’t decided yet, just drive on ahead!"
Feeling an involuntary twitch in his brow, he resisted the impulse to throw her out of the car and started the vehicle with a cold face, pretending she wasn’t there.
Throughout the drive, the person next to him was like a chirping sparrow, chatting incessantly.
"What’s your name? Where do you work? Judging by the car you drive, you must earn a decent salary, right? My name’s Xia Yuan. Could we be friends?"
"No, we can’t." He said in a cold voice, eyes fixed on the road ahead, "Sit tight, or I’ll throw you out!"
"Violent!" She pouted in displeasure but did quiet down.
He drove to the city center, "It’s convenient to go anywhere from here. Can you get out now?"
Xia Yuan sat in her seat, not moving for a long time, head lowered, hands tightly clasped together. After hesitating for a long while, she finally spoke, "Can I ask you a favor?"
"No." He refused without thinking.
He unlocked the car door and helped unfasten her seatbelt, "Please get out of the car. I need to go home now and can’t waste any more time here."
After waiting for a long time, she still showed no intention of getting out. Losing some patience, he directly got out of the car, circled to the passenger side, opened the door, and pulled her out, then shut the car door.
As he turned around, his wrist was grabbed by her, "I ran away from home. You saw earlier, those people were trying to take me back. I don’t have much money. Can I, can you take me in for a few days? I’ll leave as soon as I find a job."
Xu Kun said nothing, prying her hand off.
He strode back to the driver’s seat.
"I’m telling the truth. I just returned from studying abroad and don’t have many friends here. I don’t have much money either. Could you take me in for a few days? I’ll leave as soon as I find a job!"
