Mei Shu didn’t expect that he had put careful thought into this gift.
She had initially thought he had randomly chosen an expensive gift to give her.
Mei Shu was finding it difficult to refuse now.
“Well, I’ll consider it as you’re just temporarily storing it with me. After my college entrance exams are over, I’ll return it to you. Will that put your mind at ease?”
She didn’t want to disappoint him.
Although he appeared domineering and stubborn, there seemed to be a child inside him who hadn’t grown up yet.
Just like Xiao Bao.
If she insisted on not accepting the gift, he would probably become upset and distressed.
It wasn’t a big deal anyway. She could just keep it and not wear it, so why make him worry so much?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLu Si was relieved that Mei Shu agreed to accept the gift. He couldn’t help but smile and said, “Okay, if it makes you agree to accept it, then we’ll do it your way.”
Anyway, he could find a reason not to accept this watch. Even if she wanted to return it, she wouldn’t have the chance.
After finally giving away the gift and explaining everything clearly, Lu Si’s mood suddenly improved.
He even suggested going to Mei Shu’s house to spend more time with her.
For some reason, he enjoyed being around Mei Shu.
In the past, there was always Jiang He with them. This was the first time he had spent time alone with Mei Shu while sober. His heart seemed to beat faster for no reason every time she glanced at him.
This feeling was addictive, and he didn’t want to part from her so soon. He wanted to prolong this subtle feeling as much as possible.
However, Mei Shu’s next sentence shattered his beautiful fantasies.
“Why didn’t Jiang He come with you to find me? Didn’t he usually drive for you? I’m just curious.”
It was a little strange that Lu Si, such a big CEO, needed to drive himself.
Mei Shu didn’t intend to inquire about Jiang He; it was just idle conversation.
Little did she know that this sentence would plunge Lu Si’s mood back into the abyss.
“He still has work to finish, and I came here to apologize. Why should he come along?” Lu Si glanced at her with a hint of “I’m in a bad mood. Come and comfort me” in his eyes.
Unfortunately, Mei Shu didn’t look at him when he said this and completely missed his subtle mood.
“I see. I thought he was waiting in the car for you,” Mei Shu replied without realizing the implications of his words.
“He’d only come to wait for me, so what arc you hoping for?” Lu Si sarcastically asked, feeling both frustrated and hurt.
However, Mei Shu misunderstood him again, thinking that he was jealous of her. She quickly clarified, “I’m not hoping for anything! Really! By the way, does Jiang He know about the watch you gave me?”
Lu Si was now furious. He gritted his teeth and asked, “He knows. What’s the matter?”
Did she like the gift more because she knew it was from him?
Mei Shu had no idea what he was imagining. Their communication was clearly not on the same wavelength. “It’s nothing. I just think you should try not to do things that might make him misunderstand.”
“Misunderstand what?” Lu Si turned his head, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
Why couldn’t she see him when she seemed so concerned about Jiang He?
“I mean, misunderstand our relationship!” Mei Shu gave him an “you’re so dense” look and said, “So, it’s better for you not to give me gifts next time!”
“Is it fine if he gives you gifts?” Lu Si glared at her, wondering what she was thinking.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe believed that he was good-looking and he was a CEO from the Lu family. For anyone, as long as he was around, no one would notice Jiang He.
Why couldn’t this woman see him?
Mei Shu had no idea what he was imagining and quickly explained, “No, he shouldn’t either. I’m not even his friend, so I can’t accept his gifts for no reason.”
Lu Si narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Why do I feel that you seem a little regretful? Shall I call him over now and let the two of you make friends immediately?”
“No, no, I just want to be friends with you!” Mei Shu replied carefully, trying to soothing him.
Lu Si’s face darkened.
He suddenly extremely hated the word “friend”.
It was as if he and she could only be friends, but Jiang He’s relationship with her still held limitless potential.
“Get out of the car!” Lu Si snapped angrily.
Mei Shu was momentarily stunned and blinked her eyes, not understanding. “Are you angry? Did I say something wrong? Aren’t we friends?”
“I told you to get out of the car!” Lu Si yelled impatiently.
Mei Shu’s temper flared as well. She thought Lu Si was being unreasonable. She unfastened her seatbelt decisively. “Fine, I’ll get out. Lu Si, although we’re friends, you shouldn’t lose your temper for no reason! I’ll go on my own. There’s no need for you to drive me back!”
Mei Shu finished speaking and slammed the car door shut. She didn’t even look back as she walked to a nearby taxi..
