Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Who Is He On The Phone With?
Using Xiaobao as an excuse? Who said Xiaobao missed him?
“No way!” Zhixi snorted coldly, “You’re not allowed to see him right now!”
No sooner had the words left her mouth than Gu Bingjun gave her a fierce glare: “Enough is enough!”
This girl’s temper seemed to have risen today for some reason; if she wasn’t controlled, she would be too much to handle!
Chastised by her own father, Zhixi realized she might have gone too far and reluctantly turned her face away without speaking.
He Jingyao looked at her deeply, becoming even more certain that this woman must have something to rely on.
His eyes twinkled, and he smiled, “Both of you, please get in the car.”
Gu Bingjun, in a particularly proactive spirit, took the passenger seat.
Seeing this, Zhixi could only grudgingly pull open the rear door and sit in the back seat, while He Jingyao gave her a glance and got into the car from the other side.
Zhixi turned her head to look out the window, determined not to look at a certain someone.
He Jingyao humorously curled the corner of his lips and didn’t embarrass himself further. Just then, his phone rang.
He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, arched his eyebrows, and answered.
“Mhm, I’ll be back soon,” he deliberately lowered his voice.
Zhixi seemed immobile, but her ears couldn’t help standing up. Was it her imagination, or did this man’s voice sound a bit… tender?
“You want blueberry cake?” He Jingyao seemed to laugh softly, “Alright, I’ll bring you some later. … Just wait for me, I’ll be back in no more than two hours. … Yes, I remember. … When have I ever broken a promise? … Alright, everything as you said.”
Zhixi listened attentively to every word, her heart scratched as if by a cat’s claw. Latest content published on novel⁂fire.net
Who was this man talking to? Why did his tone sound so indulgent, so doting?
The only possibility she could think of was Xiaobao, but Xiaobao didn’t even like blueberry cake! And besides, she would’ve recognized Xiaobao’s voice immediately!
The voice from the phone, although faint and indistinct, was without a doubt… a woman!
She pouted her lips, wishing she could immediately confront him about who he was talking to, but then she remembered the hard-won advantage she’d gained; speaking up would ruin it.
Perhaps he was deliberately speaking in that way to provoke her!
With this thought, Zhixi comforted herself, trying to remain calm.
But then, after the car took a turn, He Jingyao suddenly said, “Stop the car.”
The driver immediately halted.
He Jingyao addressed Gu Bingjun, “Mr. Gu, I need to buy something, please wait for a moment.”
“Oh, of course,” Gu Bingjun replied.
He Jingyao, pushing the car door open to get out, caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye of a certain woman still leaning against the car window, pretending to have heard nothing.
Yet the hand resting on her lap involuntarily clenched tight.
He sketched a smile and stepped out of the car.
In three minutes, He Jingyao returned holding an exquisitely wrapped box.
Zhixi finally couldn’t hold back and turned her head to sneak a glance, her tone somewhat sarcastic, “Blueberry cake?”
He Jingyao placed the cake on the empty space between them, responding faintly with a “hmm.”
Zhixi painfully swallowed down the question “Who’d you buy it for?”
No, she couldn’t fall for it! Zhixi bit her lip in warning to herself, yet she involuntarily shifted her position.
Just then, the car unexpectedly encountered some issue and abruptly braked hard!
Zhixi was thrown to the side, and her left hand landed right on top of the blueberry cake!
