Cutie Delivered, Please Sign for it-Chapter 72 - If You Want It Ill Give It

However, this had nothing to do with whether she had climbed the social ladder or not. Besides, the current situation of the Mingxuan Group had nothing to do with her, Zhu Qianying.

She simply chose to be a bystander when Zhu Zhizhou and his father dug their own graves.

But her and Xiao Yu’s upbringing was much worse than being ignored by the Zhu family.

They were bullied and suppressed on various occasions. If Zhu Qianying wasn’t smart enough to protect her and her sister at a young age, they probably would have disappeared from the Zhu family in some way or another.

…

The next morning, Xing Bailun arrived as promised to pick her up.

After getting into the car, Zhu Qianying noticed that Xing Bailun didn’t seem quite right.

“Aaron, are you alright? Are you not feeling well? Should I drive for a bit so you can rest?”

To Zhu Qianying’s surprise, Xing Bailun didn’t refuse her offer. He promptly got out of the car and came around to the co-pilot’s seat.

Once Zhu Qianying took the wheel, Xing Bailun, now the passenger, lowered his seat back and covered himself with a thin quilt.

“Ying Zi, you drive for a couple of hours. Once you’re tired, switch with me.”

Zhu Qianying nodded, “Do you want some soothing music?”

“Hmmm….”

The voice that replied to Zhu Qianying was already drowsy. Could it be that he didn’t sleep at all last night?

Zhu Qianying glanced at Xing Bailun, who had already closed his eyes. She had a lot of questions, but she didn’t dare to ask them, for fear of disturbing his rest.

It’s a long drive from L City to R City, but Zhu Qianying couldn’t understand why Xing Bailun chose to drive instead of taking a flight or even a high-speed train, which would surely be more convenient and quicker.

She had a vague idea, but Zhu Qianying deliberately ignored it.

Xing Bailun slept for nearly three hours. When he woke up, his eyes fell directly on Zhu Qianying’s face.

Outside, the sun was brilliantly shining. She was wearing sunglasses, and Xing Bailun couldn’t see her expression, but he could imagine that she must be concentrating on driving.

Just like when he first met her.

“Ying Zi…”

Zhu Qianying turned her head slightly towards him, her lips curling into a pleasant smile.

“Awake?”

“Hmm… Ying Zi, do you remember the first time we met?”

As Xing Bailun slowly adjusted his seat back and sat up straight, he took a wet wipe out of the glove box. He wiped his face and looked at Zhu Qianying from the corner of his eye.

“Of course, I remember. At that time, you even asked me if I was reckless enough to risk my life!”

The smile on Zhu Qianying’s face deepened. Clearly, the memory of their first meeting brought her joy.

Xing Bailun stared at her smiling face for a while, then sighed deeply, “I can’t believe so many years have passed just like that!”

Zhu Qianying seemingly didn’t catch his melancholy tone, and continued speaking in an easy-going manner, “Yeah, it has been five or six years!”

Xing Bailun forced himself to look away from her face. He turned his head absent-mindedly and stared at the road signs flying by on both sides of the highway.

“You probably won’t have much of a chance to hang out with us in the future, will you?”

This time, Zhu Qianying finally noticed that something was off about his mood. She hurriedly glanced at him, “Aaron, is something wrong?”

Xing Bailun sat upright, shifting his gaze back to her face.

“When are you and Mr. Yan planning to get married?”

Zhu Qianying hesitated for a moment. She had promised Mr. Yan that the announcement of their wedding date would be made by him.

Xing Bailun twitched his mouth into a bitter smile, “Can’t you even tell me?”

“Christmas!” Xing Bailun was a trustworthy person, and she believed he wouldn’t announce the date without her permission.

“That’s only a little over a month away…” Xing Bailun muttered to himself.

“Hmm…” Usually eloquent, Zhu Qianying didn’t know what to say in response this time. Her mood, which had been good up until now, took a slight dip.

Xing Bailun, who had been looking at her all this while, saw her change of mood. He forced himself to cheer up and said with a smile, “What do you want as a wedding gift? Don’t be shy!”

Zhu Qianying shook her head with a smile, “There’s nothing I want!”

She wasn’t even looking forward to the wedding, let alone thinking about gifts.

“Take your time to think about it. As long as it’s within my power, I’ll get you anything!”

Anyone else hearing Xing Bailun say this would probably be overjoyed. After all, he was the Eldest Young Master of L City. Anything within his abilities was bound to be a valuable gift.

However, Xing Bailun, who made the offer, knew better than anyone that Zhu Qianying wouldn’t ask for an expensive gift. In fact, she might not even want a gift at all.

After knowing her for all these years, wasn’t he aware of her character?

“What if I want a helicopter? Can I ask for that?” Zhu Qianying said playfully. Clearly, it was a joke.

“If you want it, I will give it to you!” Xing Bailun was serious.

Zhu Qianying stopped smiling and glanced at Xing Bailun, “Aaron, I appreciate your kind intentions. But, your kindness over these years is the greatest gift you could give me. Anything else is unnecessary.”

Xing Bailun gave a wry smile, “Alright, I get it.”

Once again, Zhu Qianying turned to look at him, “Aaron, I’m sorry!”

Xing Bailun patted her shoulder and said, “You don’t need to say that. You don’t owe me anything. Are you feeling tired? There’s a service station up ahead. We can pull in there and take a break. Then I can take over.”

“Aren’t you sleepy anymore?”

“Hmm, I’ve slept enough.”

After pulling in at the service station, both of them got out of the car and bought a bottle of beverage. They then leaned against the car and took a break.

Zhu Qianying opened the bottle cap and took a sip of the juice. After finishing her drink, she lowered her head to screw the cap back on, “Aaron, did you pull an all-nighter yesterday?”

Xing Bailun was slightly surprised, “Hmm, I’ve been a bit busy lately, having a hard time managing everything.”
