CH 2070

She saw him peeking at a distant corner and put on her guard as well, inquiring nervously, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing much!” He turned his head to smile at her. “Let’s get in the car.”

Yun Shishi nodded.

Holding her by the shoulders, he then pulled on the flurry cap attached with her down jacket on her head. She looked snugly wrapped in this furry getup.

“What are you doing?” She was amused by his act.

“It’s cold so you should wrap yourself up.”

“I’m not feeling cold, though. In fact, it’s warm underneath this getup!” she muttered.

After the two got in the car and once she put down her bag, he promptly reached out to help her with the safety belt.

The woman was rendered speechless by his behavior!

Somehow, she got this feeling that he took her as a life-size doll. He was the all-powerful, godlike parent to whom she was the kid who required special care. Even a simple affair like buckling the seatbelt required his personal attention.

“Xiao Jie, I’m not a kid; I can buckle my seatbelt myself.”

He retorted with a smile, “Aren’t you happy that you got a personal butler?”

She was tickled by his response. “Fine! I won’t say anything more.”

“Sit tight! We’re going to your home!”

“Yeah!”

Before she could finish with her cry of elation, he stepped on the gas abruptly, and the car sped off like a rocket!

Flooring the accelerator, the car went directly into 4,000 rpm. This meant that it only took slightly more than five seconds to accelerate from a hundred kilometers. Yun Shishi held tightly to the handle. The huge repelling and centrifugal force was as exciting as a high-speed roller coaster!

Along the way, they encountered three red lights which the man sped past without a second look. Moreover, he purposely chose the most difficult routes by dashing through narrow spaces and corners.

She held her breath in shock and voiced her concern. “…W-We aren’t rushing for time. You don’t have to drive so fast, do you?”

They had already beaten three red lights, where the traffic police were seen at one of the crossroads. It was crazy!

Her brother did not reply, though, and merely kept his eyes focused on the road. It was only when they came to a provincial road that he finally slowed down. Glancing at his sister in the passenger seat, looking aghast, he explained apologetically, “Sorry for driving so fast! I did that because I was trying to shake off the people tailing us.”

“People tailing us?”

He nodded and glanced at the rearview mirror again. It was only after he confirmed that he had shaken off the few cars tailing them that he relaxed his taut expression. “Yes. Haven’t you noticed the few men stalking us?”

The woman looked befuddled as she shook her head. “Nope.”

“I’ve noticed their presence since we played the fishing game.”

He was very enthusiastic initially and wanted to catch all the goldfish from that poor owner’s booth at first.

However, halfway through the game, he started to notice a few pairs of eyes staring at him.

He was worried that these men were sent by his father to keep tabs on him, but more than that, he was concerned that his sister’s identity would be exposed in no time. This was the reason he wanted to leave in a hurry.

Although he very much wished for his father to reunite with his daughter, he would not force his sister to do anything against her will.

He was willing to wait patiently for that day when she would agree to acknowledge her paternal family.

He would try all ways and means for her to straighten her thoughts, but he would certainly disagree with this method of reuniting their family.
