Chapter 686: Chapter 686 Of course, I wouldn’t dare blame Miss Gu
A hand barely caught her, followed by a deep voice rising, “Careful!”
Zhixi’s face flushed, and she quickly sat up straight, pushing his hand away, “I’m fine.”
Then, she heard He Jingyao let out a regretful sigh.
Zhixi turned her head to look and saw the man frowning at the flattened cake box, his thin lips tightly pursed; then, he looked up and cast her a somewhat dissatisfied glance.
A jolt went through Zhixi’s heart—the cake… it seemed, had been crushed by her.
So, when he said “be careful,” he meant for her not to squish the cake?
“No, it wasn’t on purpose!” She explained with a flushed face.
“Hmm, I certainly wouldn’t dare to blame Miss Gu,” his tone was cold as ice.
“I’ll just buy another one,” Zhixi said irritably, yet her voice unintentionally carried a hint of grievance.
It’s just a ruined cake, isn’t it? She didn’t do it on purpose, and yet he was treating her with such an attitude…
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her nose began to sting.
“No need,” He Jingyao said indifferently, “After I drop you off, I will just buy another one.”
Upon hearing this, Zhixi immediately felt a surge of indignation rising to the top of her head.
“Stop the car!” she suddenly demanded fiercely.
The driver, not understanding the situation, stepped on the brakes.
Gu Bingjun, seated in the front row, had also heard the quarrel between the two but subconsciously thought they were flirting again. Only when he heard Zhixi’s slightly choked voice did he realize something was amiss.
“What’s the matter now?” he asked.
“Dad, let’s get off,” Zhixi said coldly, “Mr. He has to hurry to buy a cake for his friend. How can we delay his time?”
He Jingyao raised an eyebrow, speaking lightly, “It’s not that much of a delay…”
“I wouldn’t dare trouble Mr. He! I’m getting off right now!” She reached for the door handle as soon as she finished speaking.
However, she twisted it several times and couldn’t turn it at all.
“He Jingyao!” She was so angry she was nearly in tears.
“Miss Gu, please sit down,” his eyes were still indifferent, “Having promised to drop you off, I will certainly take you to your destination.”
After saying that, he told the driver, “Let’s go.”
“I don’t want to ride in your car, okay?” Zhixi glared at him fiercely.
“Zhixi, what are you making a fuss about now?” Gu Bingjun glanced at her from the rearview mirror.
Zhixi trembled with rage, and tears suddenly fell.
No, she couldn’t go on ; it wouldn’t be good if something happened to the baby.
Thinking this, she took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and crossed her hands over her stomach in a protective gesture.
But her eyes were still red, her lips bitten tightly as if she bore a grievous injustice.
He Jingyao watched her, feeling both heartache and amusement.
He had only wanted to tease her a little, not expecting such an exaggerated reaction.
He Jingyao pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and made another call. After the connection, he spoke indifferently,
“Ziyi, your blueberry cake has been ruined by me. I’ll have Li Bo make another one and send it to you.”
After saying that, he could feel the woman beside him shudder slightly. Follow current novels on novel✦fire.net
He hung up the phone, looking at her with an almost teasing expression, “What’s wrong? Cold?”
“Ziyi?” Zhixi couldn’t help but speak up, “She…”
“Ziyi is my sister,” He Jingyao hooked the corner of his mouth, “Did you forget?”
A look of embarrassment crossed Zhixi’s face.
