Chapter 37: Thorns on Her Body

well.She had a delicate oval face, her features were exquisite. Even with light makeup, she couldn't hide her natural purity. Especially her eyes, they were crystal clear and pure, like the sparkling...Huo Chenxi's already not-so-good complexion immediately darkened, and he dangerously glared at Su He.

A powerful sense of oppression rushed over Su He, causing her breath to catch in her throat. A panic, like being targeted by a wild beast, spread through her heart and pulled her completely awake from the dream.

Looking at the obvious red palm print on Huo Chenxi's face, Su He licked her dry lips: "President Huo, I thought I was dreaming just now, do you believe me"

Huo Chen Xi's dark eyes fixed on her: "You mean, you dream of beating me"

“Su He had no words to respond. His understanding seemed plausible.”

Huo Chenxi's tongue tip pressed against his molars, looking at Su He's hair damp with cold sweat clinging to her temples. He suddenly remembered the murmur she had uttered in her dream just now.

She cried and admitted her fault, begging him not to leave her.

If the person in her dream was him...

Huo Chenxi's anger instantly extinguished, the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, and the look in his eyes toward Su He softened slightly. However, there was still a hint of disdain in his voice: "Look at your meager accomplishments!"

Su He, sensing the crisis had been averted, was utterly bewildered.

Huo Chenxi thinks she's only daring to fight him in her dreams, finding her pathetic

Should she slap Huo Chenxi again, just to make him prove his ability

Su He wrestled with himself for a long time, until the plane landed. Not even a single slap proving his worth had been thrown.

Su He didn't want any more physical contact with Huo Chen Xi. After Huo Chen Xi got off the plane, Su He waited for him and then slowly made their way out of the airport.

This time she came to City B on a whim and didn't notify anyone at the branch.

Just as she was about to hail a cab for the city center, an expensive-looking black luxury car pulled up in front of her.

The car window rolled down, and Xu Tian said to Su He, "Miss Su, are you going to the city It looks like it's about to rain. Why don't I give you a ride"

Su He glanced at the back window, which was pitch black and showed no sign of anyone inside. Yet, she felt a bone-chilling coldness.

"No, I called a car." Su He refused and waved her phone.

Xu Tian turned his head to look at the back seat, and he still wanted to say something, but he saw Su He had already hurried toward the rear of the car.

The car she called has arrived.

Su He bent down and got into the car. After the driver confirmed her information, he stepped on the gas pedal and started the car. The car immediately shot forward like an arrow.

Although it was nighttime, there were still many cars on the road, and they frequently got stuck at intersections with traffic lights.

"I used to drive tanks," the driver said, showing off to Su He while grooving to the music, his grip on the steering wheel never loosening.

The sedan weaved like a snake through the traffic, darting forward and occasionally slamming on the brakes, weaving its way onto the highway.

Su He felt dizzy and nauseous, her stomach still empty from missing dinner. A wave of nausea rolled over her: "Master, please..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the driver saw her face in the rearview mirror and immediately understood. "Are you feeling unwell Should we change our itinerary to go to the hospital"

"Su He spoke in a voice as thin as gossamer, "No need, just drive slower."

Upon hearing this, the driver glanced disdainfully at Su He but still obediently pressed the brakes.

"Bang!" A loud crash, followed by violent vibrations traveling from the rear of the car.

Su He was shaken up and bounced back from the back seat, before falling heavily again. His body leaned forward, and his head hit the back of the front passenger seat.

The driver spat curses, ignoring Su He, and got out of the car angrily to confront the hit-and-run vehicle.

"Bang!" Another loud crash and a forceful impact.

The vehicle involved in the accident, enraged by the driver, slammed into it again.

The driver, who had originally come to settle the account, was stunned by the scene before him, so scared that he couldn't utter a word and completely forgot there was still a customer in the car.

The car window rolled down, and a check slammed into the driver's face. Then, with a deformed front end, it drove away into dust.

As the car passed by, Su He vaguely saw a girl sitting in the back seat, her head held high and her posture straight, exuding an air of arrogance.

Su He, dizzy and lightheaded, struggled to push open the car door. The driver, holding the invoice in his hand, exclaimed excitedly to Su He, “I don't want this car anymore. Figure out a way to get to the city yourself.”

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and sprinted away with his legs, leaving Su He stranded halfway.

Although cars came and went all around, they all drove away.

On the overpass, cars couldn't pass. Su He stood anxiously by the roadside.

Night had fallen, a sudden gust of wind swept through, dark clouds churned across the sky, and a humid air hung heavy, a harbinger of an approaching storm.

Just as Su He made up his mind to move forward, a familiar black luxury car stopped in front of him.

"Ms. Su, how are you still here" Xu Tian reduced his speed and looked at Su He in surprise, "This is too dangerous."

Su He was embarrassed and looked around. She had to bite the bullet: "Xu, would it be convenient for you to take me to the city center"

Xu Tian glanced back at the rear seat and, risking a fine for driving illegally, stepped on the brakes: "Ms. Su, please get in."

The car door opens automatically.

As Su He expected, Huo Chen Xi sat in the back seat with an expressionless face.

There was some resistance in his heart, Su He hesitated on the verge of action.

"Get in the car, don't waste time." Huo Chenxi raised his eyes to look at her, and commanded coldly.

Su He took a deep breath and bent down to get into the car.

A unique woody, masculine scent permeated the cramped space. Su He pressed herself against the car door, trying to create distance between her and Huo Chen Xi.

Ho Chenxi's eyes darkened, and he said with a hint of mockery: "Do I have thorns on me Or are you afraid that I will eat you"

Su He looked at his nose and heart, politely but distantly said: "Young Master Huo had warned me before to keep my distance from you."

Huo Chenxi was taken aback, suddenly remembering that he had indeed said such things, and more than once. Knowing that she was just using this as a pretense, he still had no words to retort.

She wouldn't have been so obedient before, she would have tried every means to get close to him.

For a moment, silence filled the car. All that could be heard were the two of them breathing evenly, rising and falling in a rhythm that was both unrelated and strangely intimate.

The car started, drove off the overpass and traveled for a while before encountering a construction zone.

Xu Tian tried his best to keep the car steady, but the road conditions were terrible. The car still bounced along the bumpy road.

Su He sat down, feeling a little drowsy, but the shaking jolted him awake.

She gripped the handrail tightly, trying her best to maintain her balance, but she was still caught off guard and fell headfirst into Huo Chenxi's arms.

Her head, by chance, smashed into Huo Chenxi's crucial area of his legs.

She felt a strange burning sensation in the part of her body that reacted so quickly. Su He was both ashamed and angry, muttering to herself, "Scoundrel," as she scrambled to sit up. But the car lurched again, throwing her off balance before she could settle. Her body tilted towards Huo Chenxi's direction once more.

To prevent such an awkward situation just now, Su He hurriedly reached out and grabbed Huo Chenxi's hair.

Ho Chen Xi's teeth ground together, a sound like grinding bone, his voice cold and dangerous, ringing in Su He's ear: "If you don't want to die, let go!"s, I was married to him for three years."Zhao Binrui's heart sank, but he unwillingly asked, "If he said he wanted to pursue you again, would you accept"Su He turned her head to look out the corridor...
