Chapter 21: Got On His Bike

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Old Madam seemed very happy about Wen Ruan’s change.

After Wen Ruan got into the car to go to the school, the old woman went to the ancestral hall and lit an incense stick in front of the Old Master’s ancestral tablet.

Her little precious had to remain like this!

…

Wen Ruan did not have breakfast at home. Instead, she got Uncle Zhong to drive her to a narrow alley.

“Uncle Zhong, you can drop me off here. I’m going to have breakfast at the He Restaurant before going to school with my classmates.”

There was a breakfast shop with more than 20 years’ history in this alley. Wen Ruan had been there with her classmates earlier so Uncle Zhong did not think much of it. He reminded Wen Ruan to be careful and left.

Wen Ruan carried her school bag and walked on the bluestone road towards the He Restaurant.

She saw a black motorcycle parked outside the restaurant.

“Lady boss, a set of xiaolongbao and a packet of milk to go.”

When Wen Ruan entered the shop, people’s eyes began falling on her.

Only the youth sitting at the corner was focused on his breakfast with an indifferent look.

The place was bustling with life but it seemed as though he was all alone, detached from this environment with an aura that warned others to stay away. He was sticking out like a sore thumb.

Wen Ruan walked out slowly after getting her breakfast.

That fellow actually didn’t even glance at her.

How infuriating. Wasn’t she looking beautiful today?

How could he treat her as though she was invisible?

…

Wen Ruan did not leave. She stood in front of the black motorcycle.

Not long after, the youth came out after finishing his breakfast.

Isa College’s uniform for guys was a navy blue suit jacket, white shirt, and a pair of black long pants.

The youth was wearing the uniform without the tie. The top two buttons on his shirt were undone and his blue suit jacket was opened. A corner of his white shirt was tucked into his black pants. He was tall and had a hand in his pocket, with a hint of languorous and indifference, looking as though he had just stepped out of a comic book.

He had his earpiece on and was looking down. The hair at his forehead covered his cold, long eyes.

He only looked up when he got to his bike.

When he saw the girl smiling sweetly beside the motorcycle, he raised his brow. “Yes?”

Wen Ruan raised the breakfast she was carrying and tried hard not to be intimidated by his gloominess. “I came to the He Restaurant to get breakfast. What a coincidence to actually see you here!”

Huo Hannian pressed his thin lips together and ignored Wen Ruan. He swung his leg over his bike and got on.

Wen Ruan reached out her little hand and grabbed onto the rearview mirror on the bike. “My chauffeur called just now to say that the car broke down. It’s hard to flag a cab here and we’re running late. Can you give me a lift?”

She had straightened her hair and cut her fringe. Her waist-length hair was tied up into a ponytail, making her fair little face only the size of a palm. Her eyes were full of life and innocence. She looked pristine and innocuous.

Huo Hannian clicked his teeth. His eyes were still dark and unfathomable when he spouted the two words. “Get on.”

Wen Ruan was stunned.

To be honest, she was prepared to be rejected and humiliated by him!

She hadn’t thought that he would actually be willing to give her a lift?

Wasn’t it said that he didn’t allow girls on his bike? Maybe after giving Ye Wanwan a lift on Friday, he didn’t mind it anymore?

The thought of Ye Wanwan getting a lift from him before her, made Wen Ruan unhappy.

“Classmate Huo, you’re so nice. I’ve misunderstood you in the past.”

Huo Hannian did not say anything and only made a soft ‘heh’ sound.

After getting on to the backseat, a bad feeling started to rise in Wen Ruan.

That sound he had made didn’t seem very friendly!
