Mr. He’s Daily Affections

Chapter 52: Urge to Conquer

Su Zhixi carried the bag and left the school for Muyun Hotel.

It was the peak hour, and although Su Zhixi stood by the road for a long time, she did not manage to get a cab. Anxiety gripped her as she saw that time was running out before the competition was to start.

At this moment, a white car suddenly stopped beside her. The man in the driver’s seat rolled down the window and frowned. “Su Zhixi?”

When she heard this voice, her heart skipped a beat.

It turned out to be Ning Yichen.

She instinctively gripped the bag in her hands as she nodded at him reservedly without speaking.

He sensed her trouble and, after some hesitation, he finally spoke. “Where are you going? I can give you a lift.”

“Thank you, but no thanks.” She instinctively rejected him.

Shooting a glance at her, the man said nonchalantly, “During this hour on this road, you probably won’t get a cab even if you wait for another 30 minutes.”

She subconsciously bit her lips.

She had been preparing for this competition for a long time and did not want to be late and affect it.

Ning Yichen offered to help her because of his upbringing, and she believed that given his personality, he would not harm her.

Therefore, she found that there was no use in putting herself in a dilemma.

At the thought of this, she gently said, “Sorry to trouble you, then.”

After saying, she opened the door and sat on the seat beside the driver’s.

Looking straight ahead, the man drove and asked, “Where are you heading?”

“Please send me to Muyun Hotel,” she said as she placed the bag on the floor and used her skirt to cover it. Even though he might not notice the jacket in the bag, she had better be safe than sorry.

“Why are you going to a hotel early in the morning?” Ning Yichen frowned.

She replied calmly, “Competition.”

The man raised his brow and did not press further.

As there were only the two of them in the car, the atmosphere turned awkward when there was silence.

When she was reminded that the man’s jacket was in the bag, an odd feeling seized her.

She was curious. What if Ning Yichen saw the jacket right now? What would his reaction be?

However, she merely thought of it and did not really do it.

The man was feeling vexed too.

When he spotted Su Zhixi earlier while driving, he had no idea why he would stop the car beside her and offer to ferry her.

Given their relationship, he should have pretended not to see her. If Lianxi were to know that he was so kind to Su Zhixi, she probably would not be too happy.

Just as the traffic light turned red, the man stepped on the break. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Su Zhixi had put on makeup today, perhaps for the competition. Her beautiful features became even more alluring with the makeup.

Sitting beside him, she kept her head lowered. Yet her cold and obstinate personality induced the urge in him to conquer her.

He suddenly realized that this was the first time that he was alone with her. It was only now that he realized that he found her familiar and warm.

All of a sudden, anger rose in his heart.

She was Su Lianxi’s sister and had always disliked her younger sister. Even if he had any favorable impression of her, it was a form of betrayal toward Su Lianxi.

Furthermore, he was tempted by her.

At the thought of this, he pursed his lips and kept his eyes straight ahead, in an attempt to ignore the woman’s existence.

For the latter half of the journey, the man sped toward the destination and the car came to a stop not long after. He said lightly, “Muyun Hotel is situated at the intersection in front. It’s inconvenient for me to do a u-turn there so you can get off here.”

Su Zhixi looked ahead and saw that there was still a distance. However, she tacitly said nothing and thanked him before alighting.

Ning Yichen gripped his steering wheel and looked to his side. He realized that she had left a bag behind.

“Wait, you left something behind,” he said as he picked up the bag and passed it to Su Zhixi.

However, he froze the very next moment!
