The speed of the car was very slow, the heavy rain was lashing him, and the wipers were squeaking, which made him a little upset.
The luxury car drove for two kilometers, and Ning Chengxu keenly spotted a slender figure sitting on the side of the road.
It was too dark and he couldn't see who it was, so he had to get out of the car under an umbrella and look for it himself.
...
Mavis' cell phone ran out of battery, and she finally got out of the subway station. However, because she had always taken a bus to Ning's house before, she had never walked through these winding streets, and she accidentally got lost.
The road was slippery on a rainy night and the sky was dark.
She was completely lost. She had walked too much, and her stomach was already growling with hunger. She really didn't have any strength, so she had to sit on the side of the empty street to rest.
A beam of car lights shone on her face, and she buried her head in the crook of her knees without any extravagance.
Just half an hour ago, she was expecting Ning Chengxu's car to pick her up on the street, but it didn't happen every time.
Disappointment was accumulating more and more. She had given up hope and planned to take a break and continue looking for a way.
The emaciated figure was soaked all over, her hair was stained with rainwater and stuck to her cheeks, and even her eyelashes were covered with water droplets.
Like a poor puppy that no one wants, very miserable.
She was so hungry that she fainted. She felt the headlights stop not far behind her, and the sound of rapid footsteps, accompanied by the sound of rain, was getting closer and closer to her.
"Mavis!"
In the rain, there was the familiar voice of a man, with a sullen cry.
She suddenly looked up and saw a man in a dark blue suit, holding a black umbrella and running towards her with a solemn expression.
The continuous rain blurred her eyes, and she could vaguely see the familiar and perfect body proportions of the other person.
"Mavis."
The man shouted again.
Raindrops danced wildly on the umbrella.
He was carrying the headlights on his back and coming against the light.
Like a savior, he broke into her world little by little and occupied her whole heart.
It wasn't until the other person came closer and she wiped the rain stains from her eyes that she could see the other person's face clearly.
It's Ning Chengxu.
"Master Xu..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice had become hoarse and weak due to the rain.
Ning Chengxu stared at her seriously, surrounded by a cold and frightening atmosphere, and his right hand without an umbrella suddenly raised.
That posture looked like he was going to hit someone.
Mavis's slender shoulders trembled, and she closed her eyes subconsciously, thinking that he was going to slap her.
Unexpectedly, when his hand came closer, it was not pain, but a warm and gentle touch.
Ning Chengxu was wiping off the rain stains on her face with his hands and helping her to remove her soaked ear hair, revealing her clean but pale little face.
"Master Xu, I'm sorry..."
She opened her eyes, but lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at him. She would only apologize.
Ning Chengxu was so angry that he pinched her cold cheek and used some force as if to punish her.
"Aren't you stupid? You had to take the bus when there was a ride to take you home. As a result, you got lost and your family was worried for hours. Did you know that?"
His tone was fierce and stern.
Mavis' cheek hurt, and she was helpless to let him pinch her.
"sorry."
"Mavis, I'm your husband. If you need me to pick you up, you can call me. It's so late and you're a girl sitting outside in the rain on the roadside. Do you know how dangerous it is?"
Really out of breath, Ning Chengxu loosened his grip on her cheek, hooked the back of her neck, and pulled her hard towards him.
Mavis fell two steps and fell on his chest.
"say!"
He didn't intend to let her go. He grabbed her hair with one hand and forced her to raise her head, glaring at her fiercely with red eyes.
