Chapter 608: Not his type
The drive back home felt like a million miles. He knew that he wanted to be nowhere near Han Xichen’s house right now but even then, he couldn’t help stopping after a few miles and turning to glance back. Maybe he should have tried to persuade her a little more. Maybe then she would have listened to him.
However, he knew her better than that. She rarely changed her mind once she made a decision and pushing it might only make her ignore him for weeks. He didn’t want that to happen. Of course, that was only because she was one of his most special friends and he didn’t want to be at loggerheads with her.
There wasn’t anything else to it—though he didn’t know why he felt the need to clarify that to himself.
He parked the car and got out for a moment, letting the cold breeze calm his thoughts. He didn’t know what hit him a moment ago but he had suddenly lost his cool and even...
He got back into his car to avoid thinking about it. His parents must be waiting for his return. He had just started working for a company aside from Jiang Corporation for the first time in his life and he didn’t need to tell them anything—they would definitely wait for him even if he arrived at dawn.
Sure enough, he saw that the lights in the villa were still on when he arrived.
A figure bumped into him as soon as he opened the door.
"Urgh!" Xiaomu growled, pulling away from him. "What’s wrong with you?" She spat out angrily.
He wiped imaginary dust off his clothes. "No. What is wrong with you?"
"You are the one who wasn’t watching where you are going." She berated him, smoothing down her hair. "I was here living my best life and then you happened. Do you always have to ruin everything?"
"I literally entered the house. I didn’t even say a word to you before you growled at me like an angry kitten! Why don’t you go where you were going since I’m out of your way?" He stepped aside to evade her.
