Chapter 550 Extra Story: Lone Wolf VS Orange Cat 1
Chapter 550 Extra: Lone Wolf VS Orange Cat (1)
A long road with two rows of tree shadows.
Under the scorching sun, the ground was covered with tiny patches of debris.
In the scorching summer, the weather was so hot that it seemed to melt people. Jiang Yiqiu hid in the blue MINI and turned on the air conditioner.
After coming out of Xiangshan Mountain Resort, the car drove slowly and leisurely. Her driving was consistent with her temperament, giving people a slightly warm feeling.
The woman's voice on the car phone was chattering a little noisily. Jiang Yiqiu looked ahead and drove seriously, occasionally answering perfunctorily.
As the car rounded the curve, a tall figure standing next to the black Mulsanne on the right side of the road appeared in front of her, and her eyes were immediately caught.
The man was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with two buttons unbuttoned at the collar. The cuffs were rolled up casually to his forearm, revealing a thin and strong wrist. He was talking on the phone with one hand on his hip.
This casual and slightly naughty posture also exudes an elegance on him.
A silhouette can easily attract the attention of others.
"...Did you hear what I said? In short, that's what happened. He said he wanted to ask you to meet. You go and meet him! He took five million from our family and went abroad to become a gold-plated human being.
I’m back, and now I’m looking for you again. I don’t know what An’s heart is! Hello? Hello? Jiang Yiqiu, are you not listening? Say something!”
"I have something to do, let's talk about it later." Jiang Yiqiu hurriedly hung up the phone, drove the car to the side of the road, lowered the window and stuck his head out, and said in surprise, "Mr. Yan, why are you here?"
Yan Qin looked up, slightly surprised. After saying "wait a moment" to the other end, he replied, "Miss Jiang? My car broke down and I'm calling someone to pick her up."
The gentleman's natural attitude, even if his tone is distant, makes people feel like the spring breeze is blowing on their face.
Jiang Yiqiu looked at the luxurious Mulsanne, and then at her little MINI worth over RMB 100,000, biting her lip and hesitated.
It is almost an hour away from the nearest summer resort. The sun is so strong that Mr. Yan is afraid that he will be scorched when the people who come to pick him up arrive.
After a moment, she said, "Where are you going? Are you in a hurry? If you don't mind, I can give you a ride... But my car doesn't look very decent, and it's not that comfortable to sit in."
This car was a gift she chose for herself when she became an adult, and it has not been replaced for nearly ten years now.
It can be considered a small antique.
"I have an important meeting in the afternoon and I have to rush back to the company. Sorry for bothering Ms. Jiang." Yan Qin closed the call and returned to the car to get a file bag. Without a moment's delay, he opened the MINI passenger seat and took his seat.
The strength hidden behind the man's gentleness can be glimpsed behind this action.
It's just that his outward appearance is too harmless, so people tend to easily ignore the man's true nature beneath his appearance.
The small carriage suddenly seemed cramped due to the man's arrival, and the air became thinner.
Feeling the heat brought by the man from outside, Jiang Yiqiu's cheeks felt a little hot inexplicably, "No trouble, I have to go back to the city and I'm on my way. But what about your car, just abandoned on the roadside?"
That was a multi-million-dollar luxury car, and Mr. Yan felt as if he had left a piece of chicken bone behind, and he didn't feel any distress at all.
The man saw her pained expression and laughed, "I called, and someone will come to deal with it soon. And the car has a positioning and security system. If someone wants to steal it, they have to be prepared to go to jail. I guess there are not many people."
Are you so upset about it?"
"..." Jiang Yiqiu thought for a while, then chuckled, amused, "That's what Mr. Yan said."
From this place, it will take another hour and a half to return to the city and reach Yan's Building.
Jiang Yiqiu quietly checked the time, it was past half past one.
Generally, office workers have to clock in at the company around 2:30 in the afternoon. According to her usual slow driving speed, Mr. Yan would have to be late.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yiqiu unconsciously tightened the steering wheel with both hands and stepped on the accelerator to accelerate.
Yan Qin felt it and glanced aside without any trace.
The woman drove very seriously.
The waist is straight, the back is tense, the handlebars are tightly gripped on the steering wheel, and the finger bones are slightly white.
He looked straight ahead with his eyes fixed, and because he was too serious, the corners of his mouth curled up nervously.
Yan Qin turned to look out the window, seeing the passing car passing by, and the light spots cast by the sun flashing in front of his eyes, making the slight smile in his eyes less obvious.
At 2:20, the blue MINI parked in front of Yan's Building and reached the finish line safely. Jiang Yiqiu's back and shoulders, which had been tense all the way, finally relaxed, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face, "Mr. Yan, we're here, I didn't hurt you to be late.
Bar?"
The man put his fist to his lips and said, "No, thank you very much for this trip, Miss Jiang."
He picked up the file bag, opened the car door and got out of the car. He turned around before stepping out and said, "Ms. Jiang, my afternoon meeting is at three o'clock. I wanted to tell you, but seeing that you were driving seriously, I didn't have the nerve to interrupt."
After a pause, he continued, "You should not be used to driving fast. There is no need to force yourself to accommodate others when you are unfamiliar with things. Your own comfort is the most important thing."
Jiang Yiqiu sat in the car and stared blankly at the man's back as he left.
Slender and handsome, with a strong and gentle aura.
Although she knew that gentleness was just a man's appearance, a mask. And there was a smile in his eyes when he said those words. It was probably her overly nervous posture while driving that made him laugh, so her tone was slightly teasing.
But his last words before leaving still touched a secret corner of her heart.
Brings throbbing.
Forcing herself to accommodate others, she has been doing this since she was a child.
In order to reduce disputes, in order to make the people around me happy, in order to please my teachers, in order not to embarrass my parents... I have always been doing it for others, but I have never thought that my own comfort is the most important.
For herself, it sounds like something that should be taken for granted, but others are doing it, but it is so difficult for her.
And for so many years, no one around her has said this to her, or no one has noticed her constant accommodation.
Mr. Yan was an outsider who had only met a few times, but he hit the mark and cut through the layers of thick cocoon she had wrapped around her body.
Jiang Yiqiu lowered her eyes and sat in the car for a long time. It wasn't until the horn sounded from behind that she suddenly came to her senses and drove away.
The phone rang again, and Jiang Yiqiu pressed down to answer it in a daze.
"Hey, Yiqiu? It's me, Guo Rui." The man's deep magnetic voice sounded in the carriage, with a gritty texture caused by electric current, familiar yet unfamiliar.
Jiang Yiqiu lost consciousness for a moment and almost ran through a red light.
"Yiqiu?" The sound of sudden braking seemed to reach the other side, and the man spoke again with a worried tone.
"Senior, it's you, long time no see."
Holding the steering wheel and waiting for a break at the red light, Jiang Yiqiu whispered back.
She had thought about what it would be like to see each other again before. Just imagining it made her heart uneasy.
But when I said the words "Long time no see" just now, it was so calm.
It turns out that facing the other person calmly is not as difficult as I thought.
