"Dong dong--"

She knocked on the car window and ran closer to Zhuang Shijue's car. She knocked twice, bent down slightly, and pressed her exceptionally beautiful face close to the window to try to see the person inside. She mouthed, "Open the window wide."

Zhuang Shijue looked at the little girl outside, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips. After admiring Tan Xiao's expressive face for half a minute, he slowly rolled down the car window.

Can't you hear my voice inside?

Tan Xiao was extremely frustrated. She had shouted at him so loudly just now, did he really not hear her or was he deliberately messing with her?

Zhuang Shijue shrugged, indicating that this was obvious.

Tan Xiao sighed in frustration, "Fine, I'll be magnanimous. Give me thirty-five yuan for the taxi fare. Hurry up, the driver is still waiting over there. If it's more than five minutes, he'll add another starting fare."

Zhuang Shijue's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly as he looked at Tan Xiao with great surprise.

The girl's outstretched hand was beautiful, fair and clean, with delicate pink fingertips, very cute.

But then, that beautiful hand was asking him for money. To Zhuang Shijue's surprise, in all his thirty-plus years of life, he had never had a woman ask him for fare, and to do so so naturally and as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Hurry up, a few minutes' delay costs several dollars," Tan Xiao urged unhappily, frowning.

Zhuang Shijue laughed for no reason. No one had ever so casually reached out to him while speaking so confidently.

Tan Xiao took out her wallet, pulled out a bill, and handed it to her, raising her eyebrows: "Don't you have any change? I'll pay you back later."

He took the money and ran away, while the taxi was indeed still waiting.

Tan Xiao values ​​money very much; no one can covet a single penny of hers.

Tan Xiao took the change, then unloaded her bicycle from the back. She rode back to Zhuang Shijue's bike, her slender, white arm reaching into the scooter and placing the money in front. She withdrew her hand, instinctively steadying the bicycle, and lowered her pale face slightly, saying:

"I left the money here. I counted it, it's enough, nothing's missing. Um, what did you need me for? I'm very busy today, I have a lot of things to do."

"Come with me somewhere," Zhuang Shijue said, glancing at the change she had left.

"Why should I?" Tan Xiao roared.

Seeing Zhuang Shijue's nonchalant expression made her furious. What terrible thing had she done to deserve this? Hadn't he gotten enough of her these past two days? How many drinks had she shielded him from that night? How could he be so inconsiderate?

"Hurry up, get on the bus if you don't want to be sued."

Zhuang Shijue's face, which had been expressionless just a moment ago, now showed signs of impatience.

"Hello--"

Tan Xiao roared in annoyance. She had a very good temper, but this Second Master was going too far. She couldn't help but lose her temper whenever she saw him.

Tan Xiao stuffed the bicycle into the back seat, opened the passenger door, sat down, and fiercely yanked on the seatbelt, angrily snorting at Zhuang Shijue.

"You're neither my father nor my mother, what right do you have to order me around? Bullying a girl, don't you think that's going too far? I'm still a minor..."

"Sixteen is considered an adult, and you're not even sixteen yet this year?" Zhuang Shijue said indifferently, not even looking at her directly.

He started the car, his expression unchanged, revealing neither joy nor anger. Gripping the steering wheel, he glanced at the rearview mirror, reversed with a cool and imposing air, and quickly and steadily drove off.

"I..." Tan Xiao was speechless.

“If you don’t want to be bossed around, then pay compensation, or go to the police station.” Zhuang Shijue’s tone was extremely indifferent, as if he was only paying attention to her.

"That's really stingy. The richer you are, the stingier you are. That's absolutely true."

Tan Xiao glanced at the cold-faced man next to her with a furious look.

Zhuang Shijue pretended not to see it, driving very steadily towards the southern suburbs. The entire space was filled with his powerful and cold aura, which was somewhat intimidating. Tan Xiao shrank her neck and pressed her head against the window to look outside.

Looking at the street outside, Tan Xiao suddenly shouted, "Are you going out of town? I'm not going. I told you I'm very busy today. Stop the car and let me out!"

Zhuang Shijue remained indifferent, but his thin lips tightened slightly, showing that he was enduring it.

"Hey, Master Zhuang, I told you I'm very busy today. I have a lot of things to do. I can't run around with you. Did you hear me?" Tan Xiao's face turned red with anger. Her eyes kept rolling, her eyelashes kept flapping against her lower eyelids, and she reached out to grab Zhuang Shijue's clothes.

"uh-huh?"

Zhuang Shijue raised an eyebrow, his hand on the steering wheel trembled slightly, and he raised his right hand, rubbing his large palm against his rugged chin, somewhat displeased. Didn't this girl see his handsome and dashing appearance? Was she blind to his breathtakingly beautiful face?

You're secretly thrilled to be in a car driven by such a handsome man, why aren't you happy?

Tch--Women are just so dramatic!

He glanced sideways, his cold and fierce gaze landing on Tan Xiao's face. At seventeen or eighteen, wasn't this the age when one's heart should be blossoming with joy?

It's unbelievable that I wasn't completely captivated by his face!

Tan Xiao felt uneasy and scared under Zhuang Shijue's gaze. She shrank back and stared back with her round, bright eyes, remaining silent.

"Zhuang Shijue." Zhuang Shijue glanced at Tan Xiao, then looked away, focusing on the road ahead.

"..." Tan Xiao was puzzled.

Zhuang Shijue said again: "Zhuang Shijue!"

"Zhuang Shijue?" Tan Xiao followed suit and called out.

"Hmm." Zhuang Shijue didn't look at her, keeping the steering wheel firmly on his side and driving the car steadily.

Tan Xiao slumped back in her chair, feeling that Zhuang Shijue was a strange person and completely impossible to communicate with.

"I need to get off the bus. I have a lot of things to do today. I need to do my homework, pick up the bills, and go to the hospital..." Tan Xiao counted on her fingers, but the man next to her didn't even look at her.

Tan Xiao was getting angry and suddenly shouted louder, "Zhuang Shijue, I want to get off the bus!"

Zhuang Shijue glanced at her sideways, giving her a cold, warning look. Tan Xiao's confidence immediately waned, not because she was afraid of his imposing manner, but because she was afraid of the lawsuit.

The car was finally completely quiet. About half an hour later, the car left the city and headed towards a residential area in the southern suburbs.

"What are you doing here? Do you have any relatives living here?" After the car stopped, Tan Xiao got out, pushed open the car door, and stood by the roadside, looking around.

"You've been here before?" The tall, imposing man stepped out of the car, one hand resting on the rim, his eyes gazing into the distance with a chilling, menacing aura.

“Yes, I have a classmate who lives here,” Tan Xiao nodded.
