Chapter 624: Help Me Undo the Buttons
Mu Yiliang was engulfed in deep regret!
So awkward... She had been too impulsive; she shouldn’t have agreed to let him pick her up. She could have driven herself or taken a taxi to the hospital, couldn’t she?
The man suddenly spoke softly, "Yiliang."
"Huh?" She lifted her head in a daze.
"Help me unbutton the top button of my shirt." The man kept both hands on the steering wheel, looking ahead. His voice was low, and his tone earnest.
"..."
Mu Yiliang thought she had heard it wrong.
The man raised an eyebrow slightly, "Is it inconvenient?"
"...No." She responded with difficulty, unable to bother with why he called her name so naturally, so familiarly.
This request sounded too ambiguous, right? They weren’t familiar, not at all!
But his profile looked so serious, the slight frown suggesting he really wasn’t comfortable. Would refusing make her seem presumptuous?
Mu Yiliang gritted her teeth and, trying to remain calm, reached out, felt the top button of his shirt, and unbuttoned it.
But her fingertips accidentally brushed against his skin, and the burning warmth transmitted from his skin made her heart flutter.
The worst part was that he swallowed right then, his Adam’s apple almost gliding under her fingertip... She instantly withdrew her hand!
"It’s unbuttoned!" She stated stiffly.
Her fingertips still seemed to retain the warmth of his skin. She discreetly rubbed her fingers against the seat cushion.
Yan Sijue chuckled softly, "Thank you."
"You’re welcome..." She replied stiffly, feeling that this man did it on purpose, yet she had no evidence, leaving her frustrated!
Moreover, the atmosphere seemed even more awkward...
Hurriedly, she tried to change the topic to prove she wasn’t flustered: "...By the way, Mr. Yan, do you usually drive an Audi?"
He turned his face slightly, "If I’m driving myself, it’s usually this car. Why do you ask?"
Mu Yiliang forced a laugh, "Nothing, just thought this car doesn’t quite match your status, hahaha."
She knew how awkward her laugh sounded. In retrospect, perhaps saying nothing would have been better; talking seemed to make it more awkward.
But the man laughed aloud, "Actually, I used to have a Maybach. I spent a lot of effort modifying it, and I dare say, it was the safest car in the world at that time."
Mu Yiliang’s interest was piqued, "Was it an armored car?"
"Mm." He nodded slightly, his tone suddenly becoming a bit somber, "Someone once said that when I sat in that car, I looked as arrogant as a god descending."
Mu Yiliang laughed heartily, "Your friend has quite the insight!"
The man glanced at her, a gentle warmth seemingly lingering in his eyes.
"Yes, quite insightful indeed."
"What happened next? Is the Maybach still with you?" Mu Yiliang asked curiously.
"It’s in my garage." The man nodded, "Back then, I had many enemies, so for safety, I went everywhere in that car, but later it wasn’t necessary."
"Do you have no enemies now?" Mu Yiliang was even more curious. He seemed like a man with quite a story.
He shook his head with a smile, "Not really, there are still many people in this world who hate me, but I realized that safety isn’t about enclosing myself and... the ones I love in a thick fortress."
