"Hmph!" Huo Beijiang coldly snorted, closing his eyes and no longer willing to entertain the matter. Strangely enough, he detests others touching his belongings, but when that girl wanted to take his seat at the time, he didn't hesitate to move to the back of the car.
Reflecting on it, it feels quite unbelievable.
Throughout his childhood, the only thing he was willing to give up all rights to was a sweetheart arrangement set up by his grandma.
Since getting into college and until his graduation, Huo Beijiang hadn't seen that girl for many years.
Wonder if she's grown up!
Old Chen Qi figured that with the bumpy road and the speed of the car, the team leader Huo Beijiang surely can't sleep. He tries initializing a conversation, "What on earth did you say to Tu Lou in the hospital that he's ready to duel with you?"
"Oh! I just said he has disgraced himself and the reputation of our shipping company!" Huo Beijiang casually replied. "He managed to break his own leg. How could he be so useless? His operational skills are so inadequate."
"..." Chen Qi was speechless. So is that why Tu Lou gathered a team of field staff to surround their Snow Eagle Action Team?
As expected, our leader's sharp tongue is beyond compare.
"So, you slipped home in the middle of the night?" Chen Qi ventured to ask. As soon as the words left his mouth, he got a smack at the back of his head.
"I think you're asking to be beaten!" Huo Beijiang straightened up in his seat and pointed at the road, "Take the next left."
"Boss, you and the girl from yesterday are from the same place!" Chen Qi exclaimed. "What a coincidence!"
"Just shut your mouth."
"Oh!"
The car was moving fast. A three-hour trip had been shortened to an hour and a half. Upon reaching the entrance of Qi Li Town, Huo Beijiang, with his travel bag on his back, hopped off the car and ordered, "Don't bother picking me up. I'll take the bus back in three days."
"Captain, why not take a few more days off until Tu Lou's anger has subsided?"
"You think I'd be scared of that cripple, Tu Lou?"
"…" Yeah, you're not scared, but what about them?
******
Huo Beijiang let himself into the house in darkness, not wanting to disturb his parents or his grandma at such a late hour. The moment he opened the door to his room, his keen instincts told him something was amiss!
There was someone in his room!
Even the faintest breathing was glaringly clear to his ears. His body reacted in mere fractions of a second, lunging at the person on his bed and effortlessly hoisting them into the air.
Why is this person so light?
Is it a woman?
This thought made Huo Beijiang pause. His parents knew about his temper, so how could they let someone into his room? Could it be Jinlan?
Even if it was Jinlan, that's unacceptable.
Whatever. Better hope I haven't strangled my sister to death!
A soft click of the light switch, and the room was immediately bathed in light.
In one glance, Huo Beijiang saw the girl he was holding was wearing his old high school basketball jersey, which hung loosely on her revealing legs, and her arms thin as though they could snap to any pressure.
Worse was that her oversized jersey had slid off her shoulder due to being lifted by him.
The cool and collected man's eyes darkened, and the room was shrouded in a stunning, powerful aura.
"Let... let go..." Jiang Nanfei was choked to near-suffocation, her brain going blank due to the lack of oxygen, feeling as if she could pass out at any moment.
The pressure on her neck was released. Jiang Nanfei collapsed onto the floor, one hand pressing against her chest, gasping for breath as if she were a fish on land.
Her long neck was arched, forming a beautiful curve.
Huo Beijiang suppressed his racing heartbeat and asked coolly, "Why are you in my room?" Somehow, she was in his bed when he had just sent her to the hospital yesterday.
