Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 133

Chapter 133 My Car Ran out of Gas
At night, Shao Boqing knocked on Nina’s door. Actually Nina didn’t want to open the door for him, but she was soft-hearted. Looking at the strong wind and heavy rain outside, she opened the door after all. But she stood by the door, looked at him with her arms crossed, with no intention to let him in, “What are you doing here again?”

“Du Xiaoxian is gone.” Shao Boqing sounded a little melancholy.

Nina was surprised, “Where did she go?”

“I don’t know,” Shao Boqing shook his head, “Gu Nianbin went to find her. I don’t know where he is neither.”

“How come?” Nina asked worriedly. Shao Boqing went past her quickly and entered the room while she was not paying attention to him. By the time Nina realized, he had already sat down on the sofa casually.

Nina had no choice but to close the door. She slowly walked over and looked down at him condescendingly, “If you just came here to tell me this, you can leave now.”

Shao Boqing was thick-skinned enough to say without changing his expression, “My car ran out of gas.”

“Then what are you doing here? My place is not the gas station.”

“The car ran out of gas just when I arrived downstairs. It doesn’t work anymore.”

What a lousy excuse. Nina rolled her eyes at him disdainfully, “Boss Shao, this may work on little girls, not me.”

“I’m not lying,” Shao Boqing said. “You can go downstairs and check for yourself.”

It was impossible for her to go downstairs in such a heavy rain. Nina sighed, she was still not Shao Boqing’s match when it came to playing naughty tricks. She sat down opposite him and asked coldly, “Boss Shao, what exactly do you want from me? I already made myself clear last time that I’m not the kind of woman you think I am. I’m not interested in playboys like you as well. I just want to live my life well. Can you please stop disturbing me?”

Being silent for a while, Shao Boqing took out a cigarette, put it in mouth and was about to light it with a lighter. Then he suddenly remembered that Nina did not like the smell of cigarettes, so he put down the lighter, leaving the cigarette in his mouth.

Nina didn’t say anything and just looked at him quietly. After a while, Shao Boqing took the cigarette out of his mouth and threw it on the tea table. He started to talk with a bitter voice, “I didn’t treat you like those women, I also know that you don’t like playboys. But I’ve changed totally. Can’t you give me a chance?”

Nina sneered, “Changed? Don’t forget that you just left your fiancée. And you are already looking for a substitute in such a short time?”

“I never treat you as a substitute. As for her, I was wrong.”

Nina’s eyes widened in surprise, and then she said more sarcastically, “You were wrong? It’s really rare to hear Boss Shao admit that he’s wrong.”

Shao Boqing was very depressed. He wanted to explain, but didn’t know where to start. If he said that he left Fang Xueqing because of her, would Nina believe him? Her impression of him as a playboy was so deep-rooted that there was nothing he could do to change her mind.

Seeing Shao Boqing remained silent, Nina continued, “You’d better go. You’re just curious about me. No woman has ever rejected you before, so you feels that it’s rare, or you just don’t want to accept this failure. But when we’re really together, you’ll find that I’m actually just another ordinary woman, nothing special. You are a man who likes playing the field and can afford to let go, but I am not. If I really fall in love with you, I’m one foot in hell. Even if I can survive, I’ll be hurt badly. Therefore, Boss Shao, please let me go. Lots of young girls are out there for you. They are your type. We are too familiar with each other. There’s no chemistry between us.”

Was that so? If they were too familiar to have chemistry between each other, why did he miss her so much? He had been missing her every minute, which was driving him crazy. Or was it like what she said, he was just unwilling to accept the fact that he couldn’t get her? Shao Boqing looked deeply at the woman sitting opposite him. No, it wasn’t like that. He loved her. He loved her deeply. He had been loving her since a long time ago, but he didn’t know it. He was just deceiving himself. Perhaps he was also a little cowardly, afraid of breaking the balance and losing her.

However, he still lost her. She did not love him, she even hated and looked down on him. Perhaps there was really no hope in his life, Shao Boqing sighed faintly and stood up, “Sorry to disturb you, I’m leaving.”

Nina thought that he would continue to talk glibly and shamelessly. She didn’t expect Shao Boqing to be so down, his face full of loneliness, which somehow made her soft-hearted. She said, “Didn’t you say that your car ran out of gas?”

Shao Boqing smiled faintly, “Didn’t you say you didn’t believe?”

Nina stopped talking and watched Shao Boqing open the door and walk downstairs. She stood in the living room dumbly for a while, then she ran to the balcony. The wind was very strong, blowing the heavy rain in and getting most of the balcony wet. She stuck her head against the wall and looked down. The dim yellow lights of the street lamps was swaying about from the wind and rain, illuminating Shao Boqing’s cool sports car. The surroundings were dark. She could only see the light and the car, which looked a little like a photograph with a dark filter.

Nina waited for a while, but did not see Shao Boqing. She took a few steps forward, and the ice-cold rain fell on her face. Then she saw him. He stood motionless in the rain, as if he was thinking about something or in a daze. Nina could not help but shout out loud, “Hurry up and get in the car. Why are you standing in the rain? You will get sick!”

Shao Boqing still stood there for a while, then suddenly he raised his head. Even in the darkness, Nina could still see his piercingly bright eyes. They were like a sharp sword cutting through the night and shooting a gaze straight towards her. Nina’s breathing and her heartbeat stopped for a moment. She quickly dodged and leaned against the wall, gasping heavily as if she had just finished a long-distance running of 15,000 meters, and her heartbeat couldn’t slow down for a long time.

Listening with pricked ears, she couldn’t hear the sound of the car starting in the wind and rain. Was he still there? Nina covered her chest and quietly looked out again. The car was still lying quietly under the street lights. She couldn’t see where Shao Boqing was standing from this angle. She didn’t know if he was still where he was or he had hidden from rain in the corridor. The raindrops hit the windowpanes like thousands of horses galloping. The wind roared and the world seemed to be shaking. Nina was worried after all. She quietly took two steps forward and saw that Shao Boqing was still standing where he was. His curly hair was drenched in the rain, sticking to his head as if he had lost his soul.

Nina stomped her foot and made a curse fiercely. She ran into the room, took an umbrella and then ran downstairs quickly.

Shao Boqing did not intend to torture himself and make her worried. His heart was in a mess, so he wanted to sober himself up in the rain. He would really go crazy if it was going to continue like this. How could he stop missing her so much? How could he control his own heart and stop coming to her? Maybe he had too many sins, so this was his retribution. There were so many other beautiful women, drunken nights and sensual fun, but all of which couldn’t be compared with her! All over the world, he only wanted to have her, but he couldn’t. What should he do? What could he do? What did he have to do…

“Shao Boqing, what exactly do you want?” He heard Nina’s shrill voice in the wind and rain.

Shao Boqing raised his head and saw Nina walk out of the corridor angrily with an umbrella.

“What are you doing here?” Shao Boqing hurriedly ran over to her. “Don’t come out, go back now.”

Nina shoved the umbrella into his hand and shouted angrily, “Either go back home or follow me upstairs!”

His choice was obvious. Shao Boqing didn’t even open the umbrella and ran into the corridor directly. He turned around and smiled at Nina, “I’ll go upstairs with you.”

Nina put away her umbrella, walked past him without looking at him and went upstairs angrily. It was until she got back in the room that she said coldly, “I was just afraid that if you get sick from standing in the rain, you will blame me for it. Go take a hot bath and I’ll find some clothes for you to change.”

Shao Boqing frowned, “You have men’s clothes here?”

Nina gave him a fierce glance and silently went to her room. After a while, she came out with a set of sportswear and stuffed it into Shao Boqing’s hand, as if she was too tired to say anything.

Shao Boqing unfolded the clothes. It should be Nina’s own sportswear. It was light gray with pink wide edges in the arms and trouser legs, and a Mickey Mouse embroidered on the chest.

Shao Boqing frowned, “Can…can I fit in? Isn’t it too small?”

Nina angrily pulled the clothes over, “Put it on or be naked!”

Shao Boqing raised his eyebrows and asked with a flirtatious smile, “Can I be naked?”

Ugh, this guy! She just showed him a little kindness and then he went beyond himself! Nina pointed at the door angrily, “Get out!”

Seeing that Nina was really angry, Shao Boqing quickly restrained himself, took the sportswear quickly and ran into the bathroom.

Nina continued to be angry for a moment before she realize that it was unnecessary to be like this. She cleared her mind, went to the kitchen and made two cups of hot tea.

Holding the tea in her hand, she drank slowly when Shao Boqing came out of the bathroom with messy wet hair. The sleeves of Nina’s sportswear only covered his forearms, the trousers barely reached his ankles, and they were so tight around his thighs and buttocks. It was as if he was wearing tight bodybuilding pants. Nina couldn’t help but laugh. She choked with a mouthful of water before she could swallow it and coughed badly.

Shao Boqing hurriedly ran over to gently pat her back and complained, “I said I couldn’t wear it but you insisted. Now I do wear it, but you laugh at me. So you get yourself choked.”

When Nina was coughing heavily, she unconsciously tightened her grip on his arm. Only when she calmed down did she realize it. She quickly withdrew her hand and said coldly, “So it’s my fault?”

One second ago she was laughing, and the next second her face became stern. How did she develop this habit of being so moody? Shao Boqing sighed in his heart. Now that he was so cared about Nina, how could he blame her? He quickly said, “It’s not your fault. Blame me, blame me for making your clothes look so ugly!”

Nina’s face was cold, but when she heard this, she laughed again and kicked him away, “What a glib tongue, get away!”

Shao Boqing saw that there was a cup of hot tea on the tea table. It looked like it was prepared for him. Without asking, he picked it up and drank it.

“Did you ask for my permission to drink?” Nina rolled her eyes at him. “What if I poisoned in the tea?”

“I’m willing to die at your hands.” Although he was joking, Shao Boqing looked very serious. Nina was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her eyes and said softly, “I’m going into the room. You…can do as you please.”

It would do as long as she didn’t ask him to leave. Shao Boqing’s heart was filled with joy. He waited until Nina entered the room and then turned a somersault excitedly on the sofa.
