Chapter 240: Chapter 237: Sit Up Here
The underground parking garage was right in front of them.
Wen Xian hesitated for a moment but quickly followed him, asking in a soft voice, “You, you said you were just going to smoke a cigarette?”
Lu Xiao didn’t turn his head, just strode to his car and dropped coldly, “No more talking, get in the car. I’m taking you home now.”
Wen Xian’s heart suddenly softened.
Was he still worried about her going home alone late at night?
But after getting in the car, just as she wanted to say something, she was silenced by Lu Xiao’s indifferent facial expression, causing a lump in her throat. In the end, she held back.
Her small hand tugged at the seat belt in front of her, not daring to make a sound.
The car started quickly.
They left the hospital, on the way to take her home.
Twenty minutes into the drive, he hadn’t said a word to her. The air in the car grew increasingly oppressive, making her chest feel tight and extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, she started to regret letting him drive her home.
His silence and the aura emanating from him were becoming unbearable for her.
Finally, she softly spoke up, “Lu Xiao, actually, I was just saying. You didn’t need to take me.”
Her words seemed to drop like a stone into the vast sea, stirring no ripples at all.
He continued driving, his eyes fixed ahead.
Wen Xian bit her lip, took a deep breath, and added, “Lu Xiao, I’m serious, stop driving, Zha Xi and the others—”
“Are you done talking?”
Before she could finish, he abruptly interrupted her, his voice devoid of any emotion.
Wen Xian’s breathing hitched, and she couldn’t say another word.
Lu Xiao drove continuously, familiar with the road, seemingly rushing as he took the Gobi road.
The car sped along the bumpy road, making the already stifled Wen Xian feel even more uncomfortable, her complexion turning somewhat pale.
In the end, she clenched the seatbelt tightly and blurted out two words: “Stop the car.”
The car continued for a while, but when she spoke again, the car finally braked sharply—!
Wen Xian, pale-faced, hurried to unbuckle her seatbelt, her eyelashes trembling as she prepared to get out.
She admitted she was scared.
Scared of this atmosphere, scared of this version of him, afraid of what he might say.
But just as she tried to open the car door without saying another word, she found it locked.
Her complexion changed slightly, and she turned her head to look at him.
Lu Xiao appeared indifferent, as if deliberately ignoring her struggle with the locked door, his eyes unflinching, as if he had known all along.
Even after stopping the car, he nonchalantly pulled out a cigarette pack, took a cigarette, and placed it between his lips.
Then he bowed his head, and with a snap, the lighter sparked to life, flames flickering.
He lowered his gaze, lighting the cigarette.
In the dimly lit car, the flickering flames clearly outlined his features, even the curvature of each eyelash.
Half-hidden in shadow, his nose cast a stark silhouette, hiding his cold mouth corners in the gloom, adding an indescribable sense of danger.
It made her heart race, as if he harbored some long-suppressed emotions that might explode at any moment.
He half-lowered the window and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, saying, “You have no car. How would you walk?”
His wrist rested on the window sill, his fingertips flicking the spent ash, his gaze turned to her as he extended his other hand, his tone cold,
“Come here, sit here.”
