The car fell into silence.
Father Jiang, who was sitting in the driver seat, looked at the rearview mirror. He saw both of them meeting eyes and could not help but give a kind smile before saying in a warm voice, “Xiaxia, you can get in the car first. I will teach Jiang Heng a lesson for you after we reach home.”
Yun Xia held the car door and wore a calm expression.
As a demon lord, she was not afraid of anything, however, she felt a little awkward in this situation.
Earlier on, she did not mean to complain about Jiang Heng as that was her honest opinion.
For complaining that she was too noisy, the demon lord had a temper too. Hence, if Jiang Heng was at home, Yun Xia did not want to stay there either.
She grabbed the car door and hesitated for a while. She took a glance at the expressionless teenager and met eyes with his pitch-black eyes for a few seconds. In the end, she decided that they shall never meet each other again!
She retracted her hand back and was just about to say “forget it”.
However, the teenager at the back seat lowered his eyes first.
His long legs were casually crossed underneath his seat.
His fair fingers knocked onto the back of his seat and his action was very calm and seemed to want to make peace with her.
His voice was very deep and cold. It even sounded a little emotionless and casual. “Come in.”
Yun Xia pursed her lips and wanted to reject him by shaking her hand but she saw him reaching his hand out to her.
The lights were not turned on and under the dark background, the teenager looked especially cold and dependable in his snowy white shirt. He had delicate features that looked very attractive.
Looking up from his fingertips, his hand and arm showed off their beautiful and slender shape. His snowy white sleeves were not rolled up while his sleeve buttons were cleanly buttoned, making him look very strict.
His cold eyes stared quietly at her.
In such an enclosed environment, his voice was very soothing and had a deep and attractive tone to it. It sounded strangely soft and gentle. “Come here. The night is cold,”
Yun Xia pursed her lips, revealing her dimples.
This could be considered as him initiating and showing his concern for her… Since he invited her, there was nothing for her to be afraid of. She just felt a little down because he said that she was too noisy but this did not mean that she was afraid of interacting with him.
Yun Xia’s fair and soft hand grabbed the car door and magnanimously raised her leg to enter the car before closing the door.
She then placed her hands on her knees and looked straight ahead, not even sparing Jiang Heng a glance.
He also did not say anything further.
The teenager turned around to face the car window and his cold demeanor could be felt, especially since he was wearing a white blouse.
He did not wear his collar hook this time and instead, he wore a few black collar pins, making him seem colder than usual yet reliable and refined at the same time.
He looked outside the window in silence with his eyes seemingly very deep and cold.
Father Jiang looked at him through the rearview mirror. “Ah Heng, are you tired? You’ve been of great help at the symposium today. You’ve done well.”
The teenager replied in a calm voice, “I am fine.”
“After you reach home, you can go to bed first. I still have some documents to look over so I can accompany Xiaxia for a while.” Father Jiang chuckled, “Oh, right… How could you complain about Xiaxia being noisy? Xiaxia is such a cute girl.”
Yun Xia blinked her eyes.
She did not like to be called cute but she was too lazy to correct it.
Jiang Heng slightly froze before giving out a calm “hmm”. However, no one knew whether he meant it or not.
He seemed to be tired and drooped his long eyelashes, covering his cold eyes while his face remained devoid of expression.
However, Father Jiang was a little surprised and took a glance at the teenager through the rearview mirror.
He had been neighbors with Xiaxia for so many years and Jiang Heng and Xiaxia could be considered sweetheart lovers. However, Jiang Heng never treated her well and would distance himself from her while acting cold. Slowly, she never came again.
Hence, both of them never interacted much and nobody at school was even aware that they knew each other.
Yet, right now, Jiang Heng just gave out a “hmm”. Even if he did not know how he was feeling, he still felt very surprised.
The car stopped in front of the villa.
Yun Xia was just about to get out of the car when a slender figure suddenly leaned over.
She was immediately pulled into someone’s embrace.
