The sound of car horns disturbed the entire silent parking lot.
It was like a startling string, shaking the soul.
Song Zhen seemed either unaware of the pain or as if he had frozen in place, his angry but majestic stance like a leopard that was enduring, ready to burst at any moment, with an aura fully unleashed.
Gu Xinzhou's heart skipped a beat!
He sneered without looking at her, his voice as if he had gathered all his strength to control something before he finally spoke, "Heh, Zhouzhou, you should be grateful that I am a wise man, otherwise, I really don't know what I would have done!"
Gu Xinzhou swallowed subconsciously, his back pressing tightly against the seat.
What did this man mean?
Was it because she had seen through his desire to make her a mistress, so he was furious with embarrassment?
Gu Xinzhou bolstered her courage and said loudly, staring at him, "Song Zhen, we live in a society governed by law, and your intimidation won't work on me!
I will never be your mistress!
No way!
I would rather be a noblewoman in Europe than your lover!
Get that idea out of your head!"
Song Zhen's face was cold as he took the car keys and opened the door.
"Hey!" Gu Xinzhou called out to him, "Let's talk about it in the car! I don't want to get out!"
Song Zhen was on the verge of exploding with rage!
But he couldn't do anything to this little woman!
He knew, she wasn't clueless; she had simply lost trust and confidence in him!
But... even so, some things just couldn't be said recklessly!
This little woman was unbelievable!
Every word she uttered felt like a knife stabbing into his heart!
Song Zhen almost ground his teeth in anger, "Either go up and talk, or get lost!"
Gu Xinzhou: "..."
To go up and talk meant to discuss how he would no longer interfere in any of her affairs.
But to get lost, did that mean there was nothing left to discuss?
She pursed her lips, unbuckled her seatbelt, and finally got out of the car with a face full of grievances.
Through the shadow on the ground, Song Zhen could already see her following him.
But through the rearview mirror of the car in front, he saw Gu Xinzhou with a sulky face, looking extremely aggrieved.
Song Zhen felt utterly frustrated!
She had been in a car accident, and he had rushed to the scene immediately upon receiving the news, regardless of anything else.
He was afraid she might have been injured, afraid she might have been scared.
He had brought her away from the encirclement of reporters, and up to now, he hadn't heard a single word of thanks, yet he had to listen to her nonsensical talk about her and some other man, and still see her with a mournful expression.
She felt aggrieved now?
He was the one who was truly aggrieved, alright!
In front of the golden VIP elevator, Song Zhen used his executive access card, leading Gu Xinzhou inside.
He pressed the button for the top floor.
Gu Xinzhou felt uncomfortable because the elevator was too luxurious, with walls entirely of golden metal mirrors, reflecting her image in front of Song Zhen no matter where she stood.
She tried to stand behind his tall figure.
That way, he could only see himself and not her.
Song Zhen was defeated by her childish actions.
Even though she infuriated him to death, he still found her endearing at this moment.
What should he do?
Sigh!
Just as the elevator doors were about to open.
Song Zhen suddenly turned, stretched out his long arm, and scooped up the little person hiding behind him to his front.
Just as before, he hugged her, protecting her small face close to his chest.
Gu Xinzhou heard his voice near her ear, "I'll cover your face for you."
Just like before, the top of her head felt warm and snug.
Through the gap between his arms and embrace, her charming eyes saw the image reflected on the elevator's interior walls—
He was kissing the top of her head with a look full of affection.
