Chapter 299: How Pitiful
Li Qiao took the car keys from Luoyu’s hand and drove to the parking lot.
Approaching two o’clock in the afternoon, she sat in the car, lost in thought. Even after calming down, her mind involuntarily revisited everything that had happened at the Mansion earlier.
In particular, the scene where the man, wearing a shirt, cornered her in the elevator, wild and rakish, more captivating than ever before.
Li Qiao’s hands rested on the steering wheel, and she naturally propped her chin on her wrists, as if savoring, as if coy, the more she thought about it, the redder her face became.
After about five minutes, she slowly got out of the car, slammed the door shut, and as she turned around, about a dozen meters away, Academician Jiang and Lian Zhen were standing there, deep in thought, eyeing her.
Li Qiao: "..."
A gust of wind blew past, ruffling the wisps of hair at her temples.
Li Qiao reached up to tidy them, walking over with composure.
At that moment, Academician Jiang, rubbing his thermos cup, exchanged a glance with Lian Zhen and pursed his lips in Li Qiao’s direction, clearly implying for him to ask what was going on.
Lian Zhen, hands in his lab coat pockets, shook his head helplessly, looking at Li Qiao as she approached. In a gentle voice, he began, "Xiao Li, are you alright?"
Li Qiao looked puzzled, glanced around, and shook her head, "No, why?"
