After being startled, Nangong Zifei pulls out his wallet from his pocket. “How much do you want?”
Jiao Daihu looks left and right, not finding an opportunity to interject. He’s relegated to watching on the sidelines like the bodyguards are doing. This is the first time a woman has been brought home by the firstborn… Everyone’s eyes are shining with excitement.
It’s only after taking the money do her eyes shine brightly. But why doesn’t this seem like it’s right? But… she feels right. Money IS king! She only takes what’s owed to her, and returns the rest of the money to Zifei.
“You don’t want it?”
An Chuxia shakes her head. “That’s too much. I’m a principled person!” After that, she takes out her mobile device to look at the screen. It is only then she remembers that she powered off her device since she didn’t want to answer her phone. Shit.
“It’s not that much. You saved my life. For that, I’m repaying you. That’s my principle.” When he says this, she looks at him with a direct gaze. She’s embarrassed.
“In the end, you’re a good person.” She clenches her mobile phone and smiles at him. “Would you be able to send me back to China?”
“… Okay.” He’s indeed a gentleman. He doesn’t ask why, and instead, agrees to send her back to China. As she watches his pupils darken, why does she feel he carries a load in his heart?
He looks … very distressed.
She tiptoes and and reaches out for his cheek as she stares into his eyes. “Why are you so lonely?”
His heart tightens. Then, he reaches out and grasps her wrist. “An Chuxia… .”
“Ah… sorry!” An Chuxia apologetically hollers. “I suddenly felt like it.” She doesn’t know why she reacted so suddenly. Now that she thinks about it, what she did is shameful.
Sure enough, everyone is watching her, and Jiao Daihu’s eyes even widens.
“It doesn’t matter.” Nangong Zifei doesn’t loosen his grip on her despite regaining his disposition. “Aren’t you leaving?”
Finally, she glances back at the parked cars. Her eyes briefly close. “I think… I have to go back.” She’s referring to the Nuowei residence. He nods and instructs his men to prepare a car.
“You’re leaving, sister-in-law?” Jiao Daihu finally intervenes as he escorts her to the car. He’s making too much of a ruckus for nothing.
“I’m not your sister-in-law,” she says. “It’s all a misunderstanding.”
“But… .”
“Go back.” Nangong Zifei interrupts Jiao Daihu. So, although he is reluctant, he doesn’t have the courage to keep talking. He can’t decipher the boss’ expression. It’s one he hasn’t seen before.
He walks back but he looks at his sister-in-law and the boss sitting at the back of the Audi as it takes off. A bodyguard approaches Daihu and asks, “Jiao ge, who is that woman? What’s her relationship with our boss?”
“Leave!” Jiao Daihu says in disgust. “When do you have time for gossip? Why should I be your source?”
The bodyguards shrug helplessly before going back to their work.
