Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 511
Chapter 511: I Don’t Want to Be Forced to Date You
Xiang Huai’s car in the capital was a black, low-key, and domineering Land Rover. The car was huge, and the underground parking lot was dim.
The girl was leaning against the car with her hands in her pockets and her long red hair draped behind her.
Hearing the sound of the car unlocking, she seemed to come back to her senses. Her dazed gaze gradually focused and she turned her head to look at Xiang Huai.
The moment he saw the girl’s figure, Xiang Huai felt mixed emotions. However, his first reaction was to step forward and ask, “How long have you been here?”
Xue Xi looked at the time and answered seriously, “Five hours, 43 minutes, and 20 seconds. Oh, it’s 22 seconds now.”
“…”
Xiang Huai’s face tensed up and he was stunned. His heart ached so much that he could not speak.
More than five hours.
In that time, the little kid could have read half a book.
She was the one who’d always wanted to split time into two, but she waited for him here, not reading or studying. She waited for him for five hours.
What did this mean?
Xue Xi looked at him. Her head, which was half a head shorter than his, was slightly raised. There was no hint of impatience on her face as she explained, “I found Canine Teeth. He gave me your parking lot location and car plate number. He said that I can’t enter the place where you were.”
Xue Xi pointed at his car. “I’ve never seen you drive this car before.”
Whenever Xiang Huai went to see her, he drove a black Volkswagen. This car seemed to be much more expensive than the other one.
Xiang Huai asked her, “Why didn’t you call me?”
“I did, but you didn’t answer.”
“…”
Xiang Huai wanted to slap himself again.
When he saw the little kid’s call, he was actually a little panicked. He was afraid that she would say that she wanted to study abroad, so he subconsciously chose to hang up.
He wanted to face her coldness after he calmed down.
Thinking of this, he started to panic.
The little kid chased him here and even waited here for five hours. Could it be…
He subconsciously said, “I bought that mountain.”
Xue Xi: “?”
She was stunned and did not understand why Xiang Huai would suddenly say that. Hence, she replied with an “Oh” and continued, “That’s not important.”
Not important?
What was important?
Xue Xi paused and asked, “Are you angry?”
Xiang Huai lowered his eyes and did not reply. Instead, he changed the topic. “Are you hungry?”
Xue Xi touched her stomach and nodded. “A little.”
When she touched her stomach, the injured bandage appeared in front of Xiang Huai. There was some blood on the bandage, and Xiang Huai sensitively noticed it.
He grabbed her hand and frowned, a little angry. “You’re still injured. Why don’t you go home and rest?”
Xue Xi let him hold her hand and said, “This injury is fine.”
“How can it be fine?”
Xiang Huai brought her to the basement.
She could not go to the deeper rooms, but she could still enter the periphery of the basement. Xue Xi realized that this place was very technologically advanced.
The door was made of iron and could be motion-activated. After entering the first door, she saw the second door separating the inside from the outside.
The moment Xue Xi entered, an alarm sounded from inside. Immediately, an intelligent robot’s voice sounded around her. “An outsider has infiltrated. An unknown entity has infiltrated!”
Xue Xi: “?”
Just as she was feeling puzzled, she heard Xiang Huai say, “Shut up.”
The siren stopped midway as though it was afraid of Xiang Huai.
Xue Xi stared at Xiang Huai, a smile appearing on her usually cold face.
When Xiang Huai was in front of her, he always accommodated her and got scolded by her. However, when facing Canine Teeth, he always acted arrogantly.
And he had been so impatient with an AI just now. This meant that he was not a good-tempered person.
But this person had given all his good temper to her.
Xue Xi lowered her eyes and could not help but recall the moment she raised her eyes in the parking lot earlier. She could see the ruthlessness and frustration on Xiang Huai’s face disappear the moment he saw her.
She obediently sat on the sofa and saw Xiang Huai take out gauze and anti-inflammatory medicine from the medicine box beside him. Following that, he squatted beside her.
When Ji Silin applied the medicine for her, he was half-kneeling on the ground. At that time, her fingers hurt so she did not feel anything.
However, when Xiang Huai lowered his head and stared at her hand seriously, Xue Xi felt an inexplicable itch. Then, this man opened her gauze.
His movements were gentle and meticulous, making her feel no pain at all.
But as he moved, he still asked, “Does it hurt?”
After Xue Xi shook her head, he continued, looking as though she was something fragile.
Xue Xi felt something warm flowing through her heart. She could not help but ask, “Are you angry today?”
“No.”
Just as she was about to continue, Xiang Huai could not help but say, “Don’t speak. I’m afraid of hurting you.”
“…”
After changing the dressing, Xiang Huai heaved a sigh of relief and looked at her. “Shall I take you out to eat?”
Xue Xi nodded.
When the two of them left the basement and walked toward the parking lot, Xue Xi probed again. “Xiang Huai, you…”
“Little kid, what do you want to eat tonight?”
After being interrupted again, Xue Xi finally realized that something was wrong with this man.
She stared at him and stood rooted to the ground. “Xiang Huai, I came to find you because I want to talk to you.”
Xiang Huai said, “Let’s eat first. We’ll talk after you’re full.”
“I can’t.”
Xue Xi’s tone was firm. “I want to tell you the truth. When Nicholas said that he could remove that restriction today, I was indeed tempted.”
She admitted it.
Xiang Huai clenched his jaw as uncontrollable anger surged through him.
He clenched his fists and tried to suppress his agitation. “I don’t want to talk about this today.”
He raised his head to look at Xue Xi. He was even worried that his words were too cold. He then said slowly, “Let’s eat first.”
Xue Xi shook her head. “I don’t want to talk about it after dinner. It’s too much of a waste of time.”
Waste of time. He was wasting her time again.
Perhaps in her eyes, his existence was a waste of time?
Xiang Huai felt that the frustration was getting stronger. He tried his best to calm his voice down. “Alright, go ahead.”
Xue Xi’s expression was calm, but when she thought of what she was about to say, her cheeks turned slightly red.
She coughed and looked elsewhere in embarrassment. She said calmly, “At first, we were together because of that curse. It wasn’t what I wanted.
“Xiang Huai, I want to remove this restriction because I don’t want to be forced to date you…”
Forced…
Indeed, she felt that she was being forced.
Xiang Huai’s heart grew heavier and heavier. Then, he heard a voice that seemed to come from the horizon.
