Chapter 663: Chapter 663: I Miss the Old He Jingyao, I Miss Him Very Much
“No problem, let me know once you find Qixi as well,” Zhixi said with a smile, waving her hand at him.
Ning Yichen nodded, closed the car door, and after giving the driver an instruction, the car quickly sped away.
Zhixi glanced at the parking lot, trying hard to locate the Bentley that Gu Bingjun had been driving these past few days; sadly, with so many luxury cars around, she searched for a while and still couldn’t find it.
After all, it was winter, and though she had wrapped herself with a shawl after coming out, standing in the cold wind for a while still made her hands and feet numb with cold.
It seemed she had no choice but to take a taxi…
With that thought, she turned around and walked towards the intersection.
Just then, a black luxury car parked nearby suddenly flashed its headlights.
Then she saw the smiling face of Uncle Li: “Miss Gu, would you like a ride back?”
It was He Jingyao’s car…
A slight ripple stirred in her heart.
“What about… What if Jingyao comes out?” she couldn’t help but ask.
“Miss Gu, don’t worry about it; the young master has more than one car,” Uncle Li said as he opened the car door. “It’s very cold, please get in quickly, don’t catch a cold.”
“Alright, then I won’t be polite,” Zhixi hesitated for a moment and then nodded. Since He Jingyao was not around, she didn’t have anything to be concerned about.
So she thanked Uncle Li, walked over, and bent down to get into the car.
However, it wasn’t until she was halfway into the car that she realized there was someone inside.
The man rested one hand on the window and the other on his knee. The dim light half-concealed his deep features in shadow, making them indistinct yet inexplicably heart-stirring.
Zhixi stiffened, instinctively wanting to retreat, but to withdraw at this point would seem too contrived, too affectatious.
Therefore, she had no choice but to get in, settle down, and quietly speak, “I apologize for the intrusion.”
He Jingyao seemed not to hear it and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
She felt embarrassed and remained silent, not uttering another word.
In the past, every time she was alone in the car with this man, he would touch her, even kiss her breathless… But now, it was as if he was completely unaware of her presence.
A complex feeling suddenly welled up in her heart, making her eyes grow warm.
Uncle Li soon started the car.
The silence during the drive made Zhixi think a lot, and before she knew it, they had arrived at the hotel.
Zhixi’s hand was on the doorknob, about to open the door and get out, but before she pushed the door open, she impulsively turned her head to look at him.
“Jingyao,” she said softly, her voice somehow tinged with a touch of crying.
That address, too, had been absent for a long time.
The man finally moved; he opened his eyes, and his dark, cold gaze fell upon her.
“I… owe you an apology,” she said hoarsely. “For these four years, you thought I was dead… Maybe you don’t care anymore, but I know that at first, you must have suffered… I’m sorry, it was my presumption, never letting you know that I was still alive.”
He Jingyao said nothing, but the hand resting on his knee twitched slightly.
“I’ve always been mired in my own emotions, yet I forgot to consider yours, so you have every right to be angry,” she pursed her lips. “I just miss the He Jingyao I knew, I miss him so much… If he is still here, do you think… he would forgive me?”
