A dark blue casual suit coupled with a white shirt, but without a tie.
Two buttons unfastened at the neck, revealing his fair skin.
He was looking slightly sideways at Nanxi…
Nanxi took a deep breath, “Mr.
Lu, I still need to return to the dorm to write my thesis, so I won’t get into the car…
here, this is your handkerchief, I’m returning it to you!”
Her slender and graceful hand came into view.
A clean, neatly folded handkerchief lay in her soft palm.
Lu Yinchu looked up at the girl.
Her brows were curved, eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky, clean, pure and attractive!
Clearly, Lu Yinchu was not interested in her excuses.
His tone hadn’t become heavier compared to before, but his imposing manner had noticeably increased, pressuring Nanxi into submission!
Nanxi got in the car but didn’t buckle her seatbelt.
She still held the hope that perhaps he found it more convenient to talk inside the car!
Just as Nanxi called out, the man interrupted her.
Immediately, a refreshing mint scent filled her nostrils…
Nanxi involuntarily straightened up.
The man’s arm crossed over, looking as though he had brought her whole body into his embrace.
Her lips were close to his handsome face…
Nanxi felt like someone was choking her throat…
leaving her breathless…
The sound of a “click” came through.
It was the sound of a seatbelt buckle.
Then the scent of mint gradually withdrew, the man sat upright and turned to her, “Why is your face so red?
Is it too hot in the car?” He then proceeded to check the car’s air conditioning temperature…
Lu, you seem to have forgotten to ask for my consent?” Nanxi hesitated.
“Oh!” He said, suddenly realizing, then looked at her again, “So, Miss Gux Nanxi, would you like to have lunch with Lu?”
“…” Could she refuse?
A few days ago, Nanxi searched for the man called Lu Yinchu online!
Lu Yinchu, thirty-two years old, CEO of H City’s KING Group, investor, holding numerous national and international degrees in economics, and countless honorary awards…
But most articles were gossip news about him…
For instance, on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, he appeared at some event with a tint of ambiguity reflected in photos: holding hands with some actress or model, whispering in each other’s ears…
But from Nanxi’s perspective, the photos didn’t seem that flirtatious.
However, since Lu Yinchu was a public figure attracting a lot of attention, coupled with the way media reporters sensationalize things, it seemed like there were actually some intimate moments…
After all, in today’s society, people love to look at more than what the pictures convey and find implicit meanings.
Half truths often seem more intriguing.
It is common practice to speculate about a fling based on ambiguous photos…
So when Nanxi saw these, she didn’t believe them.
She felt that Lu Yinchu was not that kind of person.
With such a distinct personality, how could he be compared to any ordinary playboy?
The car started and quickly left H University.
Seeing the familiar scenery gradually fading away in the tail lights, Nanxi suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable emotions.
Two years ago when Li Weihuan left, he said to her over the phone: Nanxi, do you know?
When I see the streets of H City receding, it feels like it’s not the streets that are receding, but you!
Nanxi snapped back to reality, looked at the man next to her, and said “Mr.
Lu, may I ask you a question?”
