“I did that on purpose? What did I do on purpose?” He forged innocence. His lips curled into a mischievous smile as he knew what she was getting at; in fact, he found her frightened look rather adorable.
There were some women who, besides having attractive features, had especially charming eyes, and she was one such woman. Even when she was glaring, one could easily mistake it for a petulant look, which was extremely alluring.
His eyes gradually clouded over, and as though she had cast a spell on him, his fingers unknowingly reached out to touch her face.
She coldly avoided and slapped his outstretched hand, angrily exclaiming, “Drop the act! Why did you drive so fast?! Didn’t you know that it’s dangerous?”
He furrowed his brows in fake remorse and refuted, “You told me yourself to be quick. I drove fast because you were in a hurry.”
He cleverly shoved the blame on her with an innocent look, as if she were the unreasonable one.
If any of his subordinates would see this, they would be astounded by his expression!
He had always been a cold and detached boss, and yet, at this moment, he was wryly pouting and frowning with innocence, while his eyes danced with amusement. This would be a shocking scene to them!
In their eyes, he was haughty and aloof, and hardly spoke or smiled. His face would not reveal any expression, and he was not easily provoked into reacting.
He had striking features, but because of his aloofness, it was hard for anyone to get close to him.
He never smiled at anyone except for his son, yet, right now, he… was smiling at this woman.
She did not know of all these, however, so she was unaware of his extra care and attention to her. Instead, she felt that this man was plain mischievous for playing tricks on her with such a dangerous matter!
“Don’t you think that you were driving too fast?!”
The way from the villa on the mountainous outskirts to the bustling city center was long and winding. The distance from the villa to her place was at about 50 kilometers, yet it only took him 20 minutes to cover such a distance.
One must know how bad the traffic jam in the capital could be. He took about fifteen minutes to navigate through the traffic in the city, which would mean that he merely used five minutes to drive through the 30-plus-kilometer mountainous road.
What is this?
The fastest a subway could go was only 493 kilometers per hour. It was later reduced to 300 kilometers per hour after a bad accident.
She almost lost her hearing when they traveled at the speed of 400 kilometers per hour earlier. Up to now, her ears would not stop buzzing.
She ignored him and just opened the car door to get off but almost slipped and fell when her legs gave way.
She was secretly upset with herself for getting scared by his stunts.
One could not blame her, though! There were a few times when she thought that the car would accidentally veer toward the barricades and fly off the cliff. Sitting in the passenger seat, her heart would not stop pounding at that daunting experience!
What a narrow escape!
Can this man be a safer driver?
She looked at the watch on her wrist. It was already late; had Youyou already gone to sleep?
She slightly clenched her lips in vexation. Since Youyou was born, she had been punctual.
