Wang Rouxi had her eyes focused on the road, her hands that were gripping the steering wheel had also unconsciously tightened.
Although she could not confirm her suspicions as to whom these people were targeting, she was clearly aware that she needed to shake them off their tail.
'Could these people be the same ones who tried to kill CEO Xu and CEO Wang?'
Regardless of whom their target was or what motives they had, she could not be careless.
"Hold on tight, Mr. Xia." Wang Rouxi thoughtfully warned.
Either her or this seemingly indifferent man, Wang Rouxi knew that no matter what happen, the both of them should remain safe and sound.
A cold beam flashed in her eyes.
Do anything you want and she would not care. But if you laid your hands on the people she cared about, even if she had to storm through hell, she would ensure that you would never see the sun rise again.
Slightly adjusting her position, she shifted the gears and decisively stepped on the accelerator.
The car shoot up like a loosen arrow, darting past and overtaking other vehicles with quick and skillful maneuvers.
Having already familiarized herself with the every twists and turns of the city, like a professional race car driver, Wang Rouxi quickly maneuvered the car into narrow alleyways and sped over the highways.
With how fast they were going, it was not long before she had managed to successfully get around their pursuers.
After making sure that no one else was following them, Wang Rouxi slowed down the car.
In the backseat, Xia Jiannan was staring intensely at Wang Rouxi the whole time. He actually felt that something was not right the moment she refused to bring him at the Old Residence.
Besides, who would have the audacity to kiss him?! Even his own mother would not dare to do so without asking for permission first...
"Stop the car." Xia Jiannan commanded frigidly.
Wang Rouxi did not know what had happened. Nonetheless, she immediately stopped the car just off the pavement.
Directing a chilling gaze at her, Xia Jiannan looked askance as he said with his voice filled with certainty, "You're not from Xia Corporation. Who are you?"
Looking at the serious face of the man who seemed to not know how to smile, Wang Rouxi could not help but raised an eyebrow. She lifted the corner of her mouth and tucked the loose strands of her hair behind her ear.
"Indeed, you are right, Mr. Xia. I am not under your company..."
Hearing her affirmation, Xia Jiannan's gaze turned much colder.
"If you do not belong to the Xia Corporation, then why are you driving..."
...my car?
Xia Jiannan was not able to finish what he was supposed to say. Because it was at this moment that he realized that this was not his car!
The interior of this car looked more lustrous than his. Moreover, the seat was a few times much more comfortable than the ones he had. Even the upholstery was exquisitely designed.
Xia Jiannan did not know what to say! He was clearly embarrassed right now. To avoid meeting the woman's gaze, Xia Jiannan just looked out of the window.
"Hmm..." Seeing Xia Jiannan's ears turning into a bright red color, Wang Rouxi was amused. The corners of her lips unknowingly curled up into a smile.
The smile on her face was so bright that it could outshine the sun...
Face with such a beauty, it was no wonder that even someone like the 'Stoic King' would blush after being leveled with such stare.
Besides, who would want to be embarrassed in front of such a fine-looking lady like that!
Not wanting to make him feel more embarrassed, Wang Rouxi did not say anything more and just started the car again.
The man was not feeling well after all. He should be brought home as soon as possible.
Without her noticing, Xia Jiannan snuck another glance at Wang Rouxi before sighing at himself.
No matter where she would bring him, he would just have to see for himself. It was actually his fault for getting into the wrong car in the first place.
With that thought, he closed his eyes, trying to get some rest, completely forgetting the secretary he had left at Hao Hua who probably had blown everything out of proportion.
