The Clingy Contract: My CEO Husband Won't Stop Spoiling Me-Chapter 452: Shouldn’t you invite me in to sit down?
Xingshen Group, conference room.
Li Xingle is only this attentive during meetings, sitting up straight.
This meeting has been going on for several hours.
It’s not over yet, and he’s gradually showing signs of boredom.
His phone, placed on the table, kept buzzing.
At first, he didn’t pay any attention to it, but then he noticed it was Tang Suiyu calling. If something happened to his little sister-in-law, Ye Gushen would definitely come after him!
He picked up the phone, leaned back lazily, and rested against the back of his chair.
"Li Xingle! Are you free?"
"You ask so directly, I’m not free..."
"Alright, I was going to ask if you could pick up Li Zi for me, but since you’re not free, I’ll hang up."
"Wait!" Li Xingle stood up, "My meeting is over, where is she!"
——
Jing City’s suburban driving school training base.
Li Buyan was holding an umbrella, her phone was dead, and she forgot to bring a power bank.
The training vehicle broke down.
After sending out a distress message to her best friend, her phone completely shut down.
She waited and waited, feeling the wind seeping through her down jacket.
The umbrella seemed to be covered in snow, making it very heavy!
She shook it, and indeed, the snowflakes continued to fall.
Li Xingle parked his car in front of her. From a distance, he saw her little movements; even shaking off the snow looked so cute.
Li Buyan tilted her head, trying hard to look inside.
Li Xingle got out of the car and walked towards her.
Li Buyan’s gaze followed him. Why was it him?
"Stop looking, it’s just me!" Li Xingle helped her open the car door and held the umbrella, "Get in already, or do you want me to push you in?"
"Oh!"
Once inside the car, she immediately felt much warmer.
"Li Buyan, you’re impressive! Coming to learn driving in such heavy snow! Even Tang Suiyu knows to stay at home; why didn’t you stay home?" Li Xingle handed her a ready warm hand warmer and a bottle of hot water, "Have a drink."
"She’s playing games at home with her senior, I’m bored being at home alone! The instructor asked if I wanted to come, so I thought I had nothing else to do and agreed. Who knew it would turn out like this..." Li Buyan took a few sips of hot water, feeling warmth spreading through her chest.
Her little hands greedily slipped into the hand warmer, so comfy!
On a snowy day, staying home is indeed the best choice. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
In Li Buyan’s memory, Li Xingle always drove very fast; speeding was his favorite.
But now, the car was moving slowly.
She wasn’t in a hurry either; in this cold weather with slippery snow, slow and safe was best.
"So, you want someone to keep you company at home?" Li Xingle suddenly asked.
"I didn’t mean that..." Li Buyan turned her head, her heart suddenly racing, glancing at the back of his head uncertainly.
He looked quite serious while driving. Yet he seemed to be dressed rather lightly; surely he had a big coat somewhere?
Was it because he hurried to pick her up?
"Did Sui Sui ask you to pick me up?"
"Yes, because she’s at home gaming with Ye Canbai!"
"Oh... I figured."
Besides, Sui Sui doesn’t drive. Well, she can, but she doesn’t have a license.
"In just over half a month, I’ll be going back to Ning City!" Li Buyan suddenly said.
Li Xingle’s chest tightened as he drove, and he couldn’t help speeding up a bit.
Ning City, a place he had lived before, even in the same big house as her.
The year she was born, he left the Li Family.
"Aren’t you going to get your driver’s license before you leave? Then you can drive when you go back!"
"But you said it yourself, this weather isn’t great for learning to drive!" Li Buyan said with a smile, "Anyway, after the new year, I’ll come back. I can continue in the next semester. I’m not in a hurry to start driving; we have drivers at home."
The life of a Li Family young lady is good; as an illegitimate child, he couldn’t compare at all.
Li Xingle drove her to the villa Li Muchi had bought for her.
Because the car was so warm, Li Buyan had taken off her down jacket. Now, at the door, she hurriedly put it on again.
Li Xingle watched her through the rear-view mirror inside the car.
"Thank you for coming to pick me up! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known what to do!" Li Buyan said with a smile as she got out of the car.
"Aren’t you supposed to invite me in? I’ve been driving for a long time and I’m a bit tired." Li Xingle asked her.
