Fu Qingxuan had been tailing Shen Xi in a car when suddenly she turned around. Since it was too late to make a U-turn, he attempted to drive straight ahead when she was not looking. Putting pedal to the metal, the car sped away.

Across the road.

The girl’s tiny figure dashed straight towards the car.

Looking serious, Fu Qingxuan picked up the speed. He trusted she would get out of the way.

However, it enraged him that she did not scoot aside. As the distance closed in, she stood still in the middle of the road without moving an inch.

With his eyes burning with rage, Fu Qingxuan hit the brakes and turned the steering wheel abruptly so that the car missed her. Following a loud screech, the car drifted before coming to a full stop.

Shen Xi watched the car stop before her. The young master was indeed a racer. He had full control of the car despite the short distance and speed. One second later and she would be hit.

“Shen Xi, do you want to die?” Fu Qingxuan got down from the car and yelled at her furiously.

Lifting her chin, Shen Xi looked at the fuming young man and said, “You looked for me yesterday.”

Fu Qingxuan blushed. “No. When did I? I never looked for you!”

Shen Xi gazed at him with utmost sincerity. “The Huo family’s butler told me. I didn’t know. I’m sorry about yesterday.”

Since Fu Qingxuan never expected an apology, he was at a loss for a moment before screaming at her. “I was only afraid that Qingye would beat me to death if I lost you.”

She nodded with a smile. Well, what she saw was his lips saying no, but his body language said otherwise. “Got it. Still, thank you for your concern.”

“That’s not it. Who’s worried about you? I hate you. Why should I be concerned about you?” Fu Qingxuan shouted until he choked up.

Why was she capable of tugging at his heartstrings, causing him to be worried and scared?

Who was she to him?

It pained Shen Xi yet at the same time, made her happy to see the shattered glimmer in the young man’s teary eyes. She extended her hand to him, “Give me your phone.”

Fu Qingxuan paused before showing his claws. “No way!”

She retorted, “Just for a second.”

He handed the phone to her cockily, “Just a second, alright!”

She replied, “Got it.”

Shen Xi entered her phone number and named the contact without much thought. “Sis.”

Fu Qingxuan did not know what she was doing, nor was he interested to pry into someone else’s privacy. Nevertheless, he lowered his gaze at the girl.

The rays of the morning sun shone down her downcast eyes, casting a warm and soft glimmer over her. Somehow, the warmth reached straight to his heart.

Shen Xi gave herself a call before handing the phone back to him. She said earnestly, “This is my number. Call me if you can’t find me next time. Don’t go running around.”

Red in the face, Fu Qingxuan snapped back in defense. “Who’s running around?”

What did she know? He could not think straight during such a distraught time. Afraid that something might have happened to her, the only thing on his mind was to find her quickly. How could he possibly remember to do this? Fu Qingxuan was only going by his instincts.
