They settled in the car; Ming Luchuan grim-faced and quiet, and Xia Wennan sitting next to him. He lightly elbowed him. Duan Ning and Li Xin had yet to show up; the car was parked at the side of the road, and the driver was squatting by a flowerbed in wait. Ming Luchuan and Xia Wennan were the only ones in the car. Even so, Xia Wennan still looked out the car window uncomfortably before saying to Ming Luchuan, “I’m sorry.” Ming Luchuan didn’t give him a response. “I only kicked you because I was shocked that Xue Jing suddenly came in,” said Xia Wennan. He then remembered Xue Jing’s request and asked Ming Luchuan,“It’s not like she did it on purpose, so why are you being so petty?” Ming Luchuan glanced at him at last. “Are you pleaing on her behalf?” Xue Jing was in charge of paperwork and meeting arrangements most of the time. Ming Luchuan normally only brought Xu Feng with him for business and travel.
“I feel bad for her,” said Xia Wennan. Ming Luchuan shifted his attention to the front indifferently. “You don’t need to take something so trivial personally,” Xia Wennan continued.
“Shut up.” Ming Luchuan sounded even more displeased. Xia Wennan had already figured out the reason behind Ming Luchuan’s current temper. He moved closer to Ming Luchuan and gave him a look. “You don’t want to hear me mention her, is that it? Then should I change the subject?” After saying that, Xia Wennan retreated slightly, his back almost brushing against the car door. He lifted a hand and began unbuttoning his shirt, saying, “Come on then.”
