NOVEL WEB Chapter 11: Just Happened to Pass By
She rarely had these whims, wanting to hurt in the spring and grieve in the autumn, and be a quiet, melancholic beauty.
As a result, because of Gu Yuheng's grim-faced expression, all that was instantly gone!
Lin Chuxia felt somewhat uneasy. Why had this guy suddenly shown up? Could it be that her credit card fraud was discovered?
"Humph, speak up, what do you want with me?" After getting into the car, Lin Chuxia acted all high and mighty.
In truth, despite her tough exterior, she was actually quite hollow inside.
She was afraid that Gu Yuheng would come to settle accounts.
Gu Yuheng coldly glanced at her, then slowly said, "I just happened to pass by."
"Oh really? What a coincidence? Just happened to pass by and also just happened to stop your car right next to me?" Lin Chuxia didn't believe it at all.
Gu Yuheng looked up at the person who thought she was in the right and coolly said, "Didn't you see the red light ahead?"
Lin Chuxia: "..."
The driver, Gu Qi: "..." If it weren't for the old man and the old lady's help back then, the third master would probably remain single for life!
Choked by Gu Yuheng's words, Lin Chuxia felt that the red warning light ahead was exceptionally glaring.
That arrogant color seemed to mock her self-inflicted sentimentality.
"Forget it, let's assume I misunderstood. Since it's not about me, then my getting in the car was certainly unnecessary. I might as well get out," Lin Chuxia said, agitated as she went to open the door.
However, at that moment, Gu Qi stepped on the accelerator, and the car started.
"Madam, the light has now changed to green, so it's inconvenient to stop again. Moreover, it's also inconvenient to hail a taxi around here. Why don't you just come with us?"
Lin Chuxia hadn't really intended to get out of the car, she was just momentarily upset and acted impulsively.
Now that Gu Qi had given her an out, she simply took the opportunity to stay.
"Then you guys just drop me off at the An Family!" Lin Chuxia said unapologetically.
"Madam, aren't you going back to Bishui Huating?" Gu Qi asked.
"No," Lin Chuxia answered without a second thought.
Gu Qi felt a bit regretful and wanted to persuade her further, "Madam, why don't you stop by? It's been a long time, and everyone misses you."
He had figured out the pattern, that whenever the madam came back, the third master's mood would improve, and naturally, they would all feel more relaxed.
"Oh, who misses me?" Lin Chuxia only asked to make conversation.
"Er..." Not expecting Lin Chuxia to come up with such a tricky question, Gu Qi was momentarily stumped, "Uncle Zhong and… the flowers in the garden, they all miss you."
Lin Chuxia: "..."
Gu Qi also immediately realized how feeble his excuse was and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, "No, Madam, I was just joking! We all miss you, really! Especially the third master, he missed you so much last night that he couldn't even eat his dinner!"
Gu Qi mentally congratulated himself on his quick thinking.
However, after his words fell, the other two people in the car looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"But didn't I just go back for dinner last night?" Lin Chuxia looked at Gu Qi with a smile that was not quite a smile, "If I remember correctly, last night your third master ate two big bowls of rice, is that what you call not being able to eat?"
Gu Qi sheepishly laughed, "Heh heh, that was a slip of the tongue, what I meant to say was, the third master missed you so much he couldn't sleep well at night, restless and sleepless."
"Haha!" With Gu Yuheng's energetic demeanor, restless and sleepless? She really didn't buy it!
