Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 238 - 237: The Secret That Can’t Be Told

He Qiya gave Su Mu a radiant smile.

Su Mu was stunned for a moment. Had the Ice Mountain Beauty encountered some good fortune?

She was smiling so brilliantly?

Su Mu felt that since he had known He Qiya, this was the most feminine smile he had seen from her.

Yesterday at the amusement park, He Qiya didn’t smile infrequently.

But Su Mu didn’t have this feeling.

He just felt that He Qiya had the innocent and carefree air of a little girl.

Su Mu glanced up at the sky, the sunlight was particularly dazzling.

Definitely, the sun was too bright, and he was somewhat dazzled.

Su Mu felt that he shouldn’t be perceiving any femininity from He Qiya, should he?

Withdrawing his gaze, Su Mu focused on driving.

That casual glance just now, Su Mu didn’t take it to heart.

Unlike Su Mu’s composure, He Qiya couldn’t help sneaking peeks at Su Mu throughout the drive.

The advantage of driving side by side was that He Qiya could glance over at Su Mu from time to time.

He Qiya was now quite relieved that Su Mu didn’t dislike her.

He Qiya felt that her wait all morning had been worthwhile.

If she hadn’t been waiting at the intersection for Su Mu, she wouldn’t have bumped into him.

Plus, Su Mu had already set out in his car today and hadn’t replied to her message from last night.

He Qiya knew that her WeChat message must have disappeared into the abyss with Su Mu.

It was impossible for Su Mu to reply to her now.

Although she didn’t know where the problem lay.

But He Qiya was quite thankful now.

If she had still been at home clutching her phone, the only possible outcome would have been no outcome at all.

And she would have continued to agonize over why Su Mu hadn’t replied to her message, wondering if she had somehow incited Su Mu’s apprehensions.

The smile He Qiya had just given Su Mu was also from the heart.

It was like a joy of regaining what was lost; He Qiya felt fortunate to be driving alongside Su Mu now.

Approaching the familiar crossroad, Su Mu didn’t turn back.

Because today Su Mu wasn’t out for a drive.

Actually, Su Mu wasn’t out for a drive in the past either; did Su Mu, with Champion Driving Skill, really need to do something as childish as practicing driving?

Back then, Su Mu drove up the mountain roads just to indulge his craving for driving because he didn’t have a license.

Practicing driving was just what He Qiya had assumed on her own.

He Qiya even regarded practicing driving with Su Mu as a kind of pleasure.

Su Mu didn’t drive away directly but stopped his car.

He was planning to go to the gym, not to turn back towards the mountain as before.

Su Mu thought that since his mother had told him to treat He Qiya as a little sister, it would be better to tell her.

Su Mu didn’t get out of the car; it was just a matter of a few words, no need for formality.

Su Mu rolled down the window, ready to speak and then leave.

When He Qiya saw Su Mu stopping the car, she immediately pulled the handbrake and opened the door to the driver’s compartment.

She jogged over to Su Mu’s driver’s side, and He Qiya gave Su Mu another shallow smile.

Su Mu always felt something was off.

He Qiya had been smiling too much lately, hadn’t she?

Where was there even a hint of the Ice Mountain Beauty?

Had He Qiya’s personality really reverted back?

"Su Mu, did you see the WeChat message I sent you last night?"

Without giving Su Mu the chance to speak, He Qiya directly posed the question that had been lingering in her mind since last night.

He Qiya knew Su Mu must have seen it.

There were only two possibilities for Su Mu to not receive her WeChat messages.

One was if Su Mu had blacklisted her or deleted her as a friend.

But obviously, that wasn’t the case, as He Qiya’s messages were still being sent out.

There were no other prompts on WeChat.

It indicated that the two were still normal friends.

The other possibility was that He Qiya or Su Mu had their internet cut off due to unpaid bills.

But that was even more unlikely.

As for He Qiya’s situation, she was of course very clear about it.

And as for Su Mu’s side, internet cut off due to unpaid bills?

That was simply a huge joke.

Not to mention the strength of the Su Family.

It was He Qiya’s knowledge of Su Mu’s own earning ability.

He Qiya knew that it wouldn’t be a problem for Su Mu to buy the entire telecom company if he wanted to.

Not to mention something like an internet cut-off due to unpaid bills.

What He Qiya wanted to ask was why Su Mu didn’t reply to her messages.

But then she thought, saying it like that would be too abrupt, so He Qiya changed the way she asked.

Messages?

Su Mu remembered that last night, He Qiya indeed sent him a WeChat message.

As the message was just to say thanks, Su Mu didn’t take it to heart.

Now, seeing that He Qiya asked about it as soon as she got out of the car.

Su Mu felt that there was indeed a difference in thinking between men and women.

He had not expected He Qiya to care so much about such a trivial issue.

"Hmm, you’re welcome,"

With those four words, Su Mu responded to both things He Qiya asked about.

One was whether Su Mu had seen her WeChat message.

The other was a reply to the message He Qiya sent the night before.

"Glad you saw it. I thought you might not have received the message since you didn’t reply,"

Su Mu’s response was so brief that He Qiya didn’t know how to continue and could only stammer out that sentence.

"Anything else?"

"I won’t be going back to the castle later."

Su Mu had stopped the car mainly to tell He Qiya that he had something to do later and wouldn’t be driving up the mountain with her.

"Ah? I don’t have anything."

He Qiya had held it in all night, just wanting to know why Su Mu had not replied to her message.

Now, when Su Mu asked her, He Qiya was truly unprepared.

"Then I’ll be off."

Since there was nothing else, Su Mu had said what he needed to say, released the handbrake, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a second, Su Mu, do you have something to do later?"

He Qiya suddenly found the courage to grab the edge of the window of the black Ferrari’s driver’s side, asking anxiously.

Seeing Su Mu about to leave, He Qiya subconsciously felt a sense of reluctance in her heart.

Perhaps after the pleasant time they spent together yesterday afternoon, He Qiya now unconsciously felt a bit dependent on Su Mu.

"I’m going to the gym,"

Looking at the hand He Qiya had on his car window, Su Mu didn’t feel as averse as he used to.

Maybe it was because they had known each other for a while now, and He Qiya wasn’t as cold as she seemed at first.

Su Mu gave himself that explanation in his mind.

Because he no longer disliked her, and going to the gym wasn’t some kind of secret he couldn’t reveal, Su Mu simply told He Qiya straight out.

Thinking that He Qiya should let go by now, right?

Su Mu felt that He Qiya’s curiosity today was somewhat intense.

Su Mu viewed He Qiya’s unusual behavior as a sign of her curiosity.

Su Mu never considered that this might be a way He Qiya was showing she cared about him.

In Su Mu’s mind, He Qiya was someone who kept everyone at a distance, regardless of gender.

Although she didn’t react as strongly to him, Su Mu would never have imagined that He Qiya might have already developed feelings for him.
