She froze for a moment, then suddenly, with a faint smile, she leaned over and planted a kiss on his smoky lips.
Then she quickly pulled away, laughing. "Can I go now?"
He stared at her for two seconds, then moved his eyes away and unlocked the car.
"BE SAFE on the road," she whispered, closing the car door and turning to walk toward the school gate.
Jin Di sat in the car watching her straight back, little by little disappearing from his field of vision.
Then, he stepped on the accelerator.

Danil observed that CEO Jin's mood this morning had been very strange.
First, he'd called to tell him that he didn't need to be picked up at the Sun House, and now he was showing up late for work for the first time ever!
It was fine if he was late, but after arriving at the office, he just stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window smoking in a daze...
Such a strange behavior from CEO Jin really terrified him.
Danil stood outside CEO Jin's office door with the official documents that he had to deal with today. He took two deep breaths before he dared to knock on the door.
"Come in."
He pushed the door open and entered nervously. He placed the documents in his hand on the table and was about to leave.
Suddenly, Jin Di's voice came from behind him.
"Danil."
He stopped in his tracks. "CEO Jin, is there anything else you need?"
Jin Di put out his cigarette and walked to his desk to sit down. As he flipped distractedly through the documents, he asked nonchalantly,
"Let me ask you a question. When a woman is seems upset about something...what should a man do?"
Danil furrowed his brows, his heart filled with anxiety.
Could it be that Miss Zuo and CEO Jin were quarreling?
He wiped his cold sweat and smiled. "Women play games. CEO Jin doesn't have to take it to heart."
"Playing games?" Jin Di raised his eyebrows, as if this was the first time he had heard of the concept.
Danil smiled and added, "Just say something nice to her and she'll be fine."
Jin Di was confused. He did not quite understand, but he was too embarrassed to ask more questions. He only said, "Got it. You can leave."
After Danil left the room, Jin Di stared at the documents for a while, but he could not calm down. In the end, he took out his phone and opened WeChat.
He sent a message to Bian Yinuo, Duan Boyi, and the others in the group chat.
"It's an emergency. Someone come out."
He did not let go of his phone and tapped on the screen nervously from time to time, waiting.
Soon, Jin Wancheng's profile picture popped up. "Second brother is in trouble? That's great! HURRY UP! Everyone come out and set off firecrackers to celebrate. I'll be the first!"
Then, he sent an emoji of a small person holding a celebratory firecracker.
Jin Di's face froze.
Then, third brother, Duan Boyi, and fourth brother, Yu Yiyan, sent congratulatory messages at the same time.
Jin Di's face was so dark that it could be used as a blackboard.
Just as he was considering whether to smash the phone or immediately drag out those two little brats and teach them a lesson...
The boss, Bian Yinuo, who had always advocated peace, sent a message.
"Second eldest, what's wrong?"
Jin Di's expression eased up. He took a deep breath, opened the dialog box, and typed a sentence.
"How do I get a woman to open up?"
Before he sent it, he was tripped up by imagining his brothers' laughter.
He deleted the message and retyped it. "What should I do if I get into an argument with a woman?"
No!
How could he have carelessly said the wrong thing to a woman?
Now that he'd said the wrong thing and wronged her, how could he remedy it?
He retyped and deleted, retyped and deleted again...
As he did this, the screen was flooded by messages from Jin Wancheng and the others.
"Where's second brother? Could he be angry? Oh my, second brother just can't take a joke! He's not really angry, is he?"
