Gu Qingjiu smiled so hard her eyes nearly narrowed into crescents.
Seated in the front passenger seat, she exuded a finicky air of laziness. “Chief Instructor, what are we eating?”
“I’ll bring you to eat at a hotel.”
Hotel?
Didn’t that mean they were going to the city center?
Gu Qingjiu said, “So far? By the time we reach, I might have already died of hunger. Moreover, it’ll be very late when we get back.”
“That’s why we’ll be having dinner there as well. I’ll bring you back as early as possible at midnight.”
As he started the engine, his cold and deep eyes sparkled like stars in a night sky. He looked towards Gu Qingjiu and exuded an inexplicable warmth. “If you’re tired, take a short nap. I’ll wake you up when we reach.”
“Mm, okay.”
Gu Qingjiu felt lazy in front of the Chief Instructor. It seemed like she had become more finicky in front of the Chief Instructor.
But her heart was indeed brimming with happiness.
She lowered her head and got into a relatively comfortable position, and rested with her back leaning against her seat.
After a few hours long ride, Gu Qingjiu felt the car come to a halt amid her sleepy state.
Bam.
She was startled awake by the sound of the car door closing. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a dimly lit underground carpark.
The Chief Instructor had walked around the car to the front passenger seat door, pulled open the car door, and helped Gu Qingjiu unbuckle her seatbelt.
However, he didn’t ask Gu Qingjiu to get out of the car right after unbuckling it. Instead, he edged closer to her face and pressed his forehead against her forehead. He caressed her face, and asked in a deep, sexy voice, “Are you awake?”
Gu Qingjiu’s face flushed and heated up because of his gesture. She quickly nodded. “Yes, yes.”
Despite so, her voice sounded heavily delicate, just like one did when just woken up.
He chuckled. Gu Qingjiu could sense a visible vibration at his chest, and then she felt the Chief Instructor shift both hands to her waist. Exerting strength, he carried her out of the car in one move.
“I can get off by myself.”
Gu Qingjiu kept feeling like she was too sticky to him now. But the Chief Instructor kept pampering her in an overboard manner.
He set her down, but an arm of his remained circled on her while he poked her face with his free hand. “You don’t like it?”
“Of course, I do.”
Gu Qingjiu admitted to it shamelessly. “But it wouldn’t be good if someone sees us.”
People these days couldn’t stand public displays of affection.
She was afraid of being pointed at and cursed behind her back.
“Why should you mind other people, hm?” He let go of her and held up her hand, then closed the car door and locked it.
“Let’s go and eat. Didn’t you say you’re famished?”
“Mm.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded. She hadn’t felt it when she just woke up. Now that the Chief Instructor mentioned it, that sensation of hunger became very apparent.
She felt that she could eat a ton of stuff right now.
Like, she wanted to eat everything.
“We’re going back tonight, aren’t we? There’s still some time. My mother is at the capital, and I’d like to go over and visit her later.”
She had recalled that her mother was in the capital, but she hadn’t had the time to visit her. Now that she was around, of course, she wished to go over and pay her a visit.
“I’ll go over with you to visit her after the meal.”
Holding her hand in his, He Niancheng’s lips arched in a bewitching angle. “I feel that it’s about time for me to formally meet with your mother, too.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
She meant to visit Qi Yuefeng by herself.
She didn’t say she was bringing the Chief Instructor along with her!
However, since He Niancheng said it himself, Gu Qingjiu didn’t have the guts to say her thoughts out loud.
