Why is it always my job?

Lihua shed invisible tears. Her job was more like a hanging sword on her neck rather than a feeling of happiness.

She whispered so that only Assistant Fu could hear. "So, you are not calling any S3 team to kidnap me?"

Fu Renshu was dumbfounded. "Do you think we are that stupid to waste our exceptional S3 team on someone like you?"

Her mouth twitched.

You were surely going to waste it on some non-existent culprit for a minor water crisis last night.

"Get into the car!"

She jolted and the phone hung up.

Lihua looked at Wei and tried her best to smile. "W-will you please drop me at the college?"

Wei nodded.

The strange feeling in his chest disappeared.

Gao Shui couldn't put her finger but she still felt that something was wrong. But she didn't want to delve into it right now after Wei embarrassed her.

Lihua said, "See you later, Shui."

"Hm. Sure."

---

Inside the car, Lihua maintained a safe distance from Wei as she sat beside him. Now that she knew that Wei doesn't like anybody touching him, she decided to be utmost cautious.

Lihua lamented on her luck. Here she had already thought of so many ways to get closer to him in this car ride, but fate cruelly splashed ice water on her intentions.

Wei looked at the distance between them and frowned.

"Too far."

Lihua stiffened.

"R-right…"

She shifted just a little bit to her right.

Wei said, "Still too far."

She coughed and shifted once again. There was still a wide space between them.

Wei pursed his lips. "Still too far."

Lihua cried.

Boss, don't you hate people touching you? Why are you making things difficult for me? I don't want to get fired.

She nervously smiled and shifted once again. Wei didn't react. He was sexily tapping his finger on his thigh, deep in thought about the not-so-lessening distance.

So, he simply held her arm and pulled her to sit beside him.

Lihua felt as if lightning struck her.

"This is what I meant."

She turned her head like a robot and stared dumbfounded at him. Just a moment ago, she was miles away and now she could see his thin and inviting lips at such a close distance.

Lihua gulped hard.

Throw those thoughts out, stupid! He doesn't like people getting close. Your love story has ended before it even began!

"I-I see."

The driver trembled hard in his seat.

Boss touched a woman...He touched a woman for the first time! Hell, he even brought one in his car for the first time!

The car slowed down, making Wei glance at him.

"Why slow down?"

He jolted. "Sorry, Boss!"

Wei glanced at Lihua and asked, "I am poor?"

"Ah?"

"I have one distant Uncle who abuses me?"

The driver almost coughed out the entire blood from his body.

Abuse Boss? Boss abuses people, not the other way around. Just who is this woman to make such statements?

"He kicked me out of his family?"

The driver almost fainted.

Lihua remembered the excuse she gave to Gao Shui.

"O-Oh that…y-you left me with no choice. Assistant Fu ordered me to make sure not to leak your identity and here you brought such a fancy car to our area. Of course, they would have figured that you are some rich man. Didn't you see the people staring at us?"

Wei tilted his head, his black irises boring into hers. "I was looking at you."

Lihua's eyes widened in shock.

She stared at the man who doesn't like people touching him, but then who just touched her himself and was now…

W-wait, is he flirting with me? That was so smooth...

Hold on. This is going out of the script.

Such a line in this situation would actually mean that the guy was flirting, but Lihua had no idea if he flirted just now or simply said it with innocent intentions.

Wei said it with such ease and finesse that she felt her cheeks turn warm.

'I was looking at you.'

She didn't know if it was right, but she felt a little special when he said it. Her eyes automatically lowered as she blushed.

"That...I-I see…"

Wei's gaze was fixated on hers and her varying expressions. He felt like he could observe her for a long time which was a surprise to him.

Lihua suddenly didn't know how to face him. She looked at herself on her mobile screen and found that she was blushing too much.

Ahhh... don't be so red. What if he gets suspicious?

To divert her mind from Wei's innocent flirting attack, she got busy doing some random stuff on her phone.

Lihua felt that she hadn't dropped a message to Song Jia for a long time.

She quickly typed a message.

'Sis! I am missing you sooooo much. How is your case going? Are the people too dangerous? Hope you are safe.

Good news! I got a job! When will you be back? Wuwu, at least call me for just five minutes. I have so much to talk to you. Hehe and especially about a Godly Handsome man I just met. Please, please call me soon. Love you.'

At the same time, Wei also received a message from Fu Renshu.

'Negative, Boss. Song Lihua is unaware of anything related to Song Jia's involvement with you.'

'Hm.'

He put his phone back and saw Lihua typing a message. His gaze squinted as he saw Song Jia's name.

"Messaging your sister?"

"En! It's been too long since we have talked. I hope she sees my message and calls me back. Better that she returns!" She grinned. "I can't wait for her to get back."

Wei asked, "What if she never returns?"

Lihua paused and looked at him questioningly. "What?"

"Isn't she working on a case related to some...Mafia? She is not responding to you because I feel that she is already dead. Mafias don't leave people alive once they are caught."

Lihua blankly stared at him for a while. Then she said, "Stop the car."

Wei blinked his eyes.

"I said stop the car."

Wei's eyes slightly widened to see Lihua's gaze shining in tears.

"I said stop the car! I want to get out of here."

Wei didn't understand. "Why? We are still far from your college."

She gritted her teeth. "I don't want to ride with you anymore. H-how can you say that about Sis Jia? Who gave you the right?"

The driver gulped.

Speaking that way to Boss…

Wei was utterly taken aback. He had no clue what went wrong.

"Stop the car!"

Wei glanced at him and the driver stopped the car. Lihua immediately got out.

As she dashed away, Wei kept staring at her trembling figure running with all her strength.
