Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Obedient and Fierce, Quiet and Ruthless
As the saying goes, don’t be afraid of bargaining too harshly; be afraid that after you finish, the boss might hesitate and then agree!
That means you definitely got a bad deal!
Qin Cheng, eavesdropping nearby: …
If Qin Cheng wasn’t desperately pinching his thigh, he would have burst out laughing!
Who would have thought that Mr. Fu, in his first attempt to flirt with a girl in his life, would end up bargaining with her over cab fare!
If this were shared in their group chat, everyone else’s eyes would pop out!
Chi Gui got into the passenger seat, bowed her head, and obediently buckled her seat belt.
Fu Si held the steering wheel with one hand, turned his body, and unabashedly examined the girl in front of him.
Her fingers were pale and slender, beautiful. Her eyes slightly drooped, long and curled eyelashes casting a shadow underneath. Her nose was small and perky, her lips pink, her skin as tender as a freshly peeled egg.
Seeing her gentle and quiet, it was hard to imagine she had just kicked and broken a man’s hand bones.
Even harder to imagine was that she, like an old lady in the market, had haggled over a few yuan for a long time.
Both docile and fierce, both calm and ruthless, contradictory yet interesting.
Feeling Fu Si’s gaze, Chi Gui looked up with some confusion.
A light passed through Fu Sifeng’s eyes, and with a deep, pleasant voice laced with a smile, he spoke, “Actually, if you are willing to be friends with me, I can waive the cab fare for you.”
Chi Gui, looking baffled, said, “Why go through all that trouble for something that can be solved with three yuan?”
Chi Gui: “Can you hurry up? I’m in a rush.”
This was outright disdain…
Fu Si chuckled lightly, said nothing more, gracefully turned the steering wheel, and headed towards Qinfang Garden.
Qinfang Garden was an older compound, each building only five stories tall, without elevators.
Chi Gui got out of the car at the entrance and handed three yuan to Fu Si.
Fu Si took it, glanced at the three one-yuan bills, a playful look crossing his handsome face: “We’ve shared a journey together, if we can’t be friends, exchanging names isn’t too much, right?”
Chi Gui turned around and left without expression.
Being ignored didn’t irritate Fu Si. This text is hosted at NovєlFіre.net
He chuckled, slipped the three thin bills into the inner layer of his wallet, lit a cigarette with his slender fingers, rolled down the car window, his arm resting casually on the sill, his eyes under the glasses sharp and dark, watching Chi Gui’s retreating figure.
Unknowingly, a crowd had gathered around, all sneakily observing Fu Si.
Nothing much, it’s just that Fu Si’s face was truly breathtaking; not just here where they rarely see such a sight but even compared to everyday TV celebrities, none could match him.
Fu Si didn’t pay attention to the gazes around him, watched the girl’s slender figure disappear into the staircase, his thin lips curved slightly, his long fingers extinguished the cigarette, turned the steering wheel, and drove away from the area.
The neighborhood was old, the stairwell dim, each floor had two households, one on each side.
Chi Gui reached the fifth floor, took out a slightly worn key from her pocket, and opened the door on the right.
As the door opened, the view inside the room also unfolded before Chi Gui’s eyes.
The apartment was small, only eighty square meters, one bedroom and one living room, but quite suitable for one person.
It had just been unoccupied for a long time, empty, with a thick layer of dust on the floor and walls.
Chi Gui choked on the dust at the entrance and coughed twice, stepping back out.
Before her grandmother passed away, she had handed her the keys, saying this was her legacy left to her.
