The car moved forward, and Gu Xiao sat in silence in the middle of the seat, like a king.
Qin Youbei sat nervously to the side, almost pressing herself against the car window, yet she still could feel Gu Xiao's icy breath.
The atmosphere was tense and rigid throughout the ride.
Qin Youbei occasionally stole glances at Gu Xiao. With the jade broken, she felt guilty. And thinking about the way he handled Manager Gu earlier, she suddenly realized his previous kindness toward her.
But in truth, he could've just had Modong tell her about the necklace.
He deliberately went the long way around, wanting her to feel grateful to him, and with her guilt, she couldn't be angry even though she knew it was all his doing.
Crafty man.
Qin Youbei sighed inwardly, smiling to break the awkward and silent tension, "Where have you been lately? Did you get the messages I sent you?"
Gu Xiao glanced at her dismissively and said, "Stupid to death."
