Chapter 326 - Thick wall differentiating between arrogance and ignorance.
"Li Xue, you can drop me here. The subway is just on the other lane, I will take a small walk to reach there", Mia said as she looked at the busiest street of the city.
Li Xue looked around. She had an expression of uncertainty as her eyes watched out the bustling trams and buses on the road. The ambience was brightly lit but still …
"It\'s okay, Mia. You don\'t need to take a walk. We can drop you there", Li Xue said as she gestured to the driver to keep driving to the other lane. Mia could only nod her head in agreement.
At this moment, the phone in Li Xue\'s hands rang again. She looked at the screen only to roll her eyes on it. Did the man really think that she would wait for him to arrive, just because he wanted her to wait? Who does he think he was to her?
She did not bother to pick the call, just pressed the power key of the phone to make the call ringtone go silent. "Li Xue, you are not receiving the call? Is someone creating any trouble for you?" Mia asked, not understanding who was the desperate caller to not know that the person he was calling was not interested to receive his call.
"Oh, it\'s nothing. Look, we are already nearing the subway. The ride wasn\'t long", Li Xue said as she saw the big hoarding of the city subway nearing. Soon the car pulled up as the driver also announced the same.
Mia smiled as she got down the car, "Thank you, Li Xue, for dropping me here or the bus from Sweet Delicacy till the subway is really tough to withstand. The crowd is too much at this hour".
The woman just shook her head. "There is nothing to thank. This was just in my way and it was just yesterday when I came to know that you take this subway to return home so I made up my mind to drop you here today. And will try to do that occasionally in the future too". She said and the young girl instantly nodded cheerfully.
Bidding farewell, Mia walked just a little distance when the driver informed Li Xue, "Miss, your friend has left her wallet behind. Should I go and give it to her?"
That\'s when Li Xue\'s eyes caught the sight of a cherry pink wallet lying beside her. "Ohh, she left it here. That\'s okay, you stay here. I will go and give it to her. It will not be good if you leave the driver seat of the car", she said as she pushed the door of the car and got out.
"Mia!!" she called out to stop the girl from behind but the hassle was too much to let her voice reach the person. Calling a few times while taking her steps towards the direction in which Mia was walking finally served the purpose as she soon saw Mia halting her steps to turn back to look at her.
Li Xue smiled as she shook the wallet lightly in the air. Seeing her familiar wallet with her, Mia slapped her head lightly for her forgetfulness as she paved her way back to reach her.
"Oops! I left it behind in the car. Sorry for giving you trouble Li Xue", the young girl apologized and then left to get the subway again.
Li Xue too did not wait any longer. She winded her way back to her car. Opening the door of the car she was about to get inside when suddenly her ears caught the swoosh of speed coming in her direction. Her movements halted as her eyes caught the sight of storming Audi towards her way.
Swoosh!!!
Her eyes went closed and her body flinched with the thought of the vehicle hitting her. But those reactions were so light that it never came to anyone\'s eyes. When she thought that she was about to get hit by the car, it just came to stop with a screeching sound, a few inches away at her side.
Li Xue was confused. Was someone here to scare her? But then her eyes caught the sight of the man sitting inside the Audi. Her jaws got clenched as her fists balled up at her sides.
Zheng Wenting!
The stunt soon garnered everyone\'s attention and the driver of Li Xue\'s car too jumped out in fright. "Miss, are you fine? Should we go to the hospital?" He asked in a somewhat scared voice, knowing that he would not be able to afford if this particular woman got hurt under his care.
Though he has not been ordered to keep the woman safe, he knew the things better even when it was not a command given to him to follow.
Li Xue shook her head in disapproval of his words, "No, no, there is no need I am fine. Just help me get to my place first". She said as she resumed her movements of opening the door and then getting inside the car.
Right when she was about to get inside the car, a voice stopped her adamantly, coming forward near her. "Li Xue, what are you trying to do? Didn\'t I ask you to wait for me and now seeing me you are leaving? What type of arrogance are you trying to show here?"
Li Xue\'s hold on the car\'s door grew harder as she scoffed, "CEO Zheng there is a thick wall differentiating between arrogance and ignorance. How come you are still not able to pull a difference between them?"
"Li Xue!!" Wenting\'s voice started high pitched but it soon died down when Li Xue\'s face turned to look at him. After such a long time, he has seen those features this close to his eyes and he could not deny that it could still take his breath away. She was still the same breathtakingly beautiful woman!
Li Xue looked sideways first, asking the driver standing at the side to get inside the car. Then her eyes scanned around. Since it was the busiest slot of evening time, none of the passersby had time to stop themselves to witness the drama.
Sighing to his own self, he said in a compromising tone, "Li Xue, let\'s forget the past together and talk in a good way for once. I think it\'s high time for us to kill all the misunderstanding between us. Come, I will take you somewhere peaceful so that we can talk well". He said, getting forward to open the car door for her.
