Chapter 131: Chapter 128: Don’t Think You Can Do Whatever You Want Just Because I Like You
After speaking, he didn’t even glance at her and simply placed a box on the cashier’s counter.
His gaze was indifferent, yet calm.
He pulled out his wallet, his tall frame blocking her from view as he said to the cashier, “Purchase everything together.”
There was truly a moment when she wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.
The cashier, observing the man, saw a bit of solemnity amidst his cold arrogance. When the cashier looked at the box again, she couldn’t help but feel a touch of irritation.
This man, surely all of them look so respectable!
Although she wore a fisherman’s hat, glasses, a mask, and a high-collared coat into the supermarket to cover herself thoroughly, she still felt too ashamed to face him.
Because although she talked big, her actions spoke differently.
Being caught red-handed by him felt just like wanting to explode right there and then.
Now, as they left the supermarket and he was about to drive away, Lu Xiao stopped her from getting into the car.
He spoke faintly, “You’re too clumsy, go sit in the passenger seat.”
She got into the passenger seat, but bit her lip quietly, murmuring under her breath, “You’re the clumsy one.”
Lu Xiao started the car, looking straight ahead, and hummed lightly. Then he said, “At least it wasn’t me who dropped things and got stared at.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian almost burst into tears.
The car headed back towards her residence, and along the way, they hardly spoke to each other again.
An indescribable, extremely delicate atmosphere filled the car.
It was not just awkwardness but also more, an ineffable sensation that made her heartbeat quicken and her ears heat up.
After all, he was still mad at her, still waiting for her explanation. Yet here she was, preoccupied with buying some items first.
Just as she was sitting in the passenger seat, blushing and lost in her thoughts, suddenly, a faint voice fell:
“Don’t overthink it. I didn’t come to Shanghai because of you, and I am leaving tomorrow evening.”
At those words, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, snapping her instantly back to reality.
They also left her feeling somewhat bitterly cold.
She had thought he had come specifically for her—
Lu Xiao’s tone remained faint, “I have too many things to handle. My trip to Shanghai was for family needs; I only accidentally encountered you.”
Good thing she wasn’t Huo Qi, otherwise she might have believed him. What did he take her for, that they could meet so easily by ‘accident’?
She chuckled lightly, retorting, “Oh, is that so? Then appearing at my movie premiere must also have been quite the accident.”
His face impassive, he involuntarily pressed his tongue against his cheek, his gaze slightly flickering.
When he spoke again, he announced, “I’ll just drop you off downstairs; I’m not coming up.”
At those words, she stiffened, nearly believing she had misheard.
He dared not repeat it!?
After purchasing everything, he said he’s not going up. Was he deliberately being spiteful or what!?
Suddenly, the atmosphere inside the car turned utterly still.
Now, as the car entered the final street before arriving, the tension only grew worse. Keeping her indignation to herself, Wen Xian scoffed and said:
“Some people, so full of themselves. Don’t think just because I like him, he can do whatever he wants. Fine by me if you want to leave!”
His slender hands tightened on the steering wheel, his eyes growing darker.
Just as he parted his lips, about to say something, he heard her whisper in a voice as soft as a mosquito:
“At worst, at worst, I could pout and beg him to stay…”
