Chapter 18

Lu Mian did not even believe a single bit of this childish act.

Since the other party was so persistent, there was no reason for her to act coy as she bent her slim body slightly and sat in the passenger seat.

She was very thin and light, and the car did not shift when she sat down.

Even though she sat in the car, her good-looking eyes were filled with cold mockery as she laughed brazenly and evilly.

“Is it safe to sit in your car?”

She had always spoken in such an offensive manner with her brazen tone and playful expression.

However, Lu Mian was not scared and did not care. Fear no longer existed in her dictionary since a long time ago.

“Don’t worry, I drive very securely.”

Xiao Qimo was clearly mocked, but he surprisingly let out a laugh. He was in a pretty good mood.

Not only did he not get upset, he even explained to the other party, which did not happen often.

“Heh…”

“Heh…”

Both of them laughed lightly at the same time in the car.

He started the car and drove forward.

The safety belt at the passenger seat was automatically adjusted and put on when Lu Mian sat in the car.

Lu Mian looked normal as usual. Her body curved slightly as she lazily started playing on her phone.

She was totally treating the man beside her as her chauffeur.

It was the first time Chauffeur Xiao was ignored, and after looking at the girl from the corner of his eye, he turned on the music in the car. It was a light and soothing piano song.

Lu Mian heard the tune and glanced at the name of the song.

“Illusionary Daytime”

It was a piano song that would make sad people want to cry.

Lu Mian’s lips curved up slyly and playfully, and she laughed lightly. Her long lashes drooped down as she continued to focus on her phone game.

She was used to playing on her phone with one hand, and her idle hand was casually placed on her lap.

The music played on smoothly and her long white fingers started to tap to the beat casually, as if it was a subconscious reaction.

However, Xiao Qimo was surprised.

What an interesting girl…

Perhaps she did not even realize that her fingers had played the keys to the piano song.

It seemed like she was very good at multitasking as she could play her game and the keys to the song.

Xiao Qimo was even more interested. After glancing at her, he asked casually, “The assassins at the alley weren’t so useless. How did you handle them?”

After all, those people were professionals, and one could just imagine how powerful Lu Mian’s kungfu was if she could kill them brutally.

He was not doubting her, he was just curious.

Lu Mian smiled, her eyes were covered with thick distance and defence, without a tinge of warmth.

“I learned some self-defence skills. Is there a problem?”

Of course there wasn’t.

Xiao Qimo was very understanding. She was only 17 and a young child when she was kidnapped back then.

It was hard for others to imagine how difficult it must have been to live two years under the ruthless criminals.

Not only did she have to learn self-defence skills, she also had to have a calm composure and impressive intelligence.

“Lu Mian.” Xiao Qimo stared at the front and his lips pressed against each other tightly. After keeping quiet for half a minute, he asked lightly, “What did you go through?”

However, no one replied to him this time.

He turned around in shock and saw the little girl sleeping with the phone in her hands.

The sleeping her was less distant and hostile, but much warmer with the young girl aura that girls her age should have. Her baby hair landed by her mouth, a huge contrast with her white face.

It seemed like she was sleeping quite soundly.

Was the music not nice?

Or was he too boring?

Xiao Qimo was angered and tickled at the same time as his hands subconsciously lowered the music and increased the temperature.

The black car reached the entrance to Lu Mansion very soon.

The man turned to his side and was considering if he should wake her up or carry her back.

Such a defensive person had actually fallen asleep in his car. It seemed like he could not let this trust down.

The man pressed his lips against each other tightly and lifted his bony fingers. Suddenly, he was hit by a force before he could even touch the corner of the girl’s clothes.

He was slightly taken aback.
