Chapter 55 - 055: I Wish It Wasn't You

Caught off guard, Yan Xinxin was suddenly pushed by Mo Chuxi, letting out a light cry as she fell into the passenger seat.

"Bang."

Mo Chuxi slammed the car door shut. Through the window, Yan Xinxin caught sight of his imposing figure walking past, before he got into the car and quickly started it.

Yan Xinxin turned to look at him. In the dim light, Mo Chuxi's profile appeared even more chiseled and defined.

"President Mo, could I trouble you to take me to pick up Xi first?"

"Your son may only be five years old, but even he knows how to go home. Yan Xinxin, how about you?"

Mo Chuxi's voice was cold as he spoke.

Yan Xinxin froze for a moment. "Are you saying Xi went home by himself?"

Feeling the concern and hope in Yan Xinxin's gaze, Mo Chuxi shifted his eyes slightly and gave her a dispassionate glance for a few seconds.

Sensing Mo Chuxi's growing impatience, Yan Xinxin tugged at her seatbelt with both hands and opened her mouth, her mood sinking.

"Please, take me to Central Square."

Mo Chuxi didn't respond to Yan Xinxin, but eventually, he drove her to Central Square.

"Thank you."

Yan Xinxin thanked him softly, then opened the car door and stepped out.

The early summer night was cool, the evening breeze teasing her delicate figure as she walked under the streetlights. Mo Chuxi furrowed his brows deeply, hesitating for a few seconds before finally grabbing his jacket and stepping out of the car.

Yan Xinxin was heading toward a dessert shop when she suddenly felt a warmth behind her. A black jacket seemed to fall from the sky, draping over her shoulders.

She stopped in surprise and turned her head, seeing Mo Chuxi's stoic face. He had actually placed a jacket on her.

"Mr. Mo..."

"Hurry up."

He spat out two cold words before turning back and walking toward the car idling by the roadside.

Understanding his meaning, Yan Xinxin stared at Mo Chuxi's retreating figure for a few seconds before turning around herself.

A feeling of warmth spread across her back. Yan Xinxin caught the faint, elegant scent of orchids lingering on the jacket—thin and refined, unmistakably Mo Chuxi's.
