One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 476: Helping Her Choose the Right Ring

Hong Kong, the second day.Song Song thought Xiao Jinghuai would leave early in the morning, but as she walked downstairs to the dining room, she saw someone happily chatting with her big brother—

He looked so full of energy you couldn’t tell he’d just fought a tough battle not long ago, what exhaustion?

It’s all a bunch of lies to fool her.

How gullible was she before to let him think he could win her over with a few sweet words.

At this moment, Huo Junting noticed her and waved with a smile, "Song Song, come have breakfast. Hey! Don’t carry the kid, let Aunt Feng look after her."

Aunt Feng was the nanny Huo Junting brought home, reputed for being great with kids and is somewhat famous in the circle.

Aunt Feng doesn’t talk much, always wears a gentle smile with warm eyes. Song Song felt a sense of closeness whenever she saw her.

Naturally, she was pleased to let Little Xiyou be cared for by her.

She smiled and handed the child to Aunt Feng, then sat at the dining table, intentionally sitting farther away because she didn’t want to be too close to someone—

Only later did she realize she sat too far, unable to reach the breakfast.

She had to get back up to fetch breakfast even before her seat warmed.

Since she appeared, Xiao Jinghuai’s gaze fixed on her cold little face, and when she came to get breakfast, he quickly handed over the plate in front of him, "Look, your favorite bacon sandwich and warm milk."

Song Song ignored him and didn’t take it, instead she took a bowl of millet porridge and slightly provocatively said, "Who says I like sandwiches and milk, President Xiao, don’t make assumptions."

Xiao Jinghuai stared at her, a subtle smile creeping onto his lips, "Even if I make assumptions, it wouldn’t be about these things, but rather..."

With that, he deliberately let his gaze wander over her with a hint of meaning.

Song Song wasn’t foolish, she quickly caught on to what he meant, wishing she could pour the porridge on his head, "Hmph! Pervert!"

Huo Junting felt sweet toothache, "Forget it, I won’t stay here as the third wheel, off to work."

"Big brother, don’t leave yet," Song Song hurriedly called, "I need to rush to school for class, can you take me along!"

She was about to graduate soon, at this point she couldn’t afford not to attend class, since she decided to study, she had to be responsible.

Although she really wasn’t cut out for finance, much of it she barely understood.

Luckily, she had a few big names around her, at least if she didn’t understand something, there was someone to ask.

Huo Junting glanced at Xiao Jinghuai, seeing him remain calm, but the intent in his eyes was unmistakable, "Oh, today I’m not going your way, need to attend a meeting at the municipal bureau."

"Oh, going to the municipal bureau indeed isn’t on the same route. Then never mind, I’ll just catch a cab later!"

"..."

Xiao Jinghuai felt helpless, this girl was really determined to completely distance herself from him, preferring to take a cab than let him drive her.

Huo Junting chuckled, "Hey! My car’s parked in the underground garage, keys are with security, I’ll let them know, feel free to drive it."

Xiao Jinghuai didn’t own property in Hong Kong, so naturally didn’t have a car.

Song Song knew exactly what this meant, she got up from the seat directly, "I don’t want him to drive me!"

Huo Junting walked over, patting Xiao Jinghuai’s shoulder, "I said long ago this won’t be easy."

Xiao Jinghuai looked at Song Song with a profound smile, "Don’t worry, it’s just a matter of more time, but the outcome will be the same."

Song Song heard this, glared at Xiao Jinghuai fiercely, and went upstairs to get her backpack, ready to head to Nandao University—

The whole time, she didn’t look at the man again.

Song Song stood by the roadside waiting for a cab, but several passing taxis were occupied.

No choice, she had to call a ride on her phone.

Just as she was about to do this, a gust of wind swept by.

She looked at the troublemaker and saw a face she didn’t want to see, he smiled at her and gracefully opened the car door, "Waiting for a ride? I’ll take you."

"No need!"

Song Song firmly refused.

The man walked up to her, his voice as charming as last night, "If you keep waiting, you might be late. Graduation is soon, leaving a good impression with the teacher is essential."

Good impression?

Song Song heard these three words and shuddered, when had she ever made a good impression, always skipping classes, overwhelmed by distractions.

She thought it over deeply last night, actually these things were all related to him...

As long as he stirred, she couldn’t sit still, she’d rush to him with no thought for the distance.

She knew in her heart, he meant a lot to her.

But to him?

To him, she was just someone he’d send away when busy, and think of, coax a little when free.

In his mind, she was just someone to coax casually, and she’d happily follow.

But this time she wouldn’t, not at all.

Song Song, with a cold face, "Doesn’t matter, the teachers already aren’t impressed with me, just stuck in treating a dead horse like a living one."

Xiao Jinghuai didn’t speak, but reached to pull her hand, "So, why bother with school, why not go somewhere else with me."

"What?"

Before Song Song could react, the man had already pulled her to the car, "Be good, quit struggling, I can’t say what I might do otherwise."

He kindly warned, "This is a public place, you surely won’t want me to do that."

Song Song saw the intense heat in his eyes, familiar with what it meant, immediately frightened into staying still, letting him seat her in the passenger seat and carefully belt her in.

"Xiao Jinghuai, what are you planning! Don’t act recklessly!" Song Song warned.

The man got into the car steadily, as he started and drove away, he said, "Me, when have I ever acted recklessly!"

It was true, Xiao Jinghuai was always cool and self-possessed, he’s never particularly impulsive, nothing ever seemed to shake his composure.

Song Song knew, often such people are extremely frightening, deep and cold in thought.

Truly stepping into his heart would take a long time—

Previously, she thought she succeeded, just when he blocked her path.

But later she realized, maybe at that time no matter who was in danger, he would do that.

Because that’s instinct of a kind-hearted person, it doesn’t signify anything.

As Song Song’s thoughts drifted, Xiao Jinghuai drove to Hong Kong’s commercial center, a place where every inch is precious.

After parking, Song Song was led by the man into a boutique jewelry shop.

Although Song Song wasn’t a brand snob, she had heard of this place, the items inside were obscenely expensive—

A tiny stud earring could probably last someone a lifetime of food and clothing.

Why did he bring her here?

Xiao Jinghuai pulled Song Song to the counter and told the sales assistant, "Help her choose a suitable ring."

Song Song was instantly stunned, he wanted to buy her a ring?

The sales assistant’s eyes rested on Xiao Jinghuai’s face for a few seconds, then quickly recognized him, extremely respectful, "Yes, President Xiao, please wait a moment."

Song Song’s mouth twitched, ha! Is this what they call reputation?
