Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 493: All About Companionship

Xia Mian stood at the corridor corner, gently touching her chin.

It seems Cui Ke has a thing for Ji Ling?

But apparently, Ji Ling isn’t interested in Cui Ke.

Well, that makes sense. Ji Ling and Gu Zhi have a good relationship, sympathetic to each other, and there’s likely no room for anyone else between them.

Cui Ke is a nice guy, but unfortunately, he hasn’t met the right person.

Sure enough, just as this thought appeared in Xia Mian’s mind, Ji Ling was already impatiently glaring, "What exactly do you want? It’s my work time now, please don’t disturb me!"

Cui Ke was taken aback, his honest face slightly reddening, "Miss Ji, I sincerely like you..."

Ji Ling looked annoyed, frowning, "I don’t need you to like me!"

Cui Ke was about to say something but swallowed his words when he saw a colleague approaching.

Xia Mian noticed that in his haste, Cui Ke stuffed the delicate gift box back into his pocket.

Head down, clutching his laptop bag, looking defeated like a wilted eggplant, Cui Ke walked towards the stairway.

As he brushed past Xia Mian, he suddenly seemed to realize something and looked up quickly.

He saw Xia Mian with her calm expression.

"Miss Xia..." Cui Ke’s lips moved slightly, his expression looking a bit embarrassed, "You... saw everything, right?"

Xia Mian didn’t answer but instead sighed softly, "You and her, it’s not suitable."

Cui Ke frowned, "Even Miss Xia thinks we’re not suited..."

Xia Mian pressed her lips, "She already has someone in her heart."

After saying this, Xia Mian gave him a meaningful look, "Feelings like this, can’t be forced."

Cui Ke said nothing more, just lowered his head dejectedly and rushed off with his laptop bag.

Xia Mian shook her head, then strode out the door.

At the parking lot by the road below Song Group, Lu Zechuan rolled down the car window and was waiting for her.

Seeing Xia Mian come out, he got out of the car to greet her and considerately opened the passenger door for her.

Xia Mian bent down to get into the car, and Lu Zechuan fastened her seatbelt before returning to his seat.

"Tired?" Lu Zechuan’s deep voice spoke.

Xia Mian smiled, "And you?"

Lu Zechuan chuckled lightly, "I’m not tired."

Xia Mian replied, "Me neither."

Both of their constitutions are far beyond normal people, unless they don’t rest for days and nights, they might feel slightly weary.

Handling such small matters, tired is out of the question.

"Where are you taking me for a gathering?" Xia Mian raised an eyebrow, "A meet-up with your friends?"

Lu Zechuan’s lips curled into a faint smile, "You’ll know when we get there."

Xia Mian couldn’t help but find it amusing, "Making it sound so mysterious."

Lu Zechuan only smiled without speaking.

Of course, it has to be a bit mysterious.

Otherwise, if spoken out, his plans might be ruined by some clueless person again.

Lu Zechuan drove further and further away, gradually leaving the city center.

Xia Mian blinked, turned her head to look at Lu Zechuan, her gaze inquisitive.

Didn’t he say a gathering?

Taking her to the wilderness, meeting up with ghosts?

Under Xia Mian’s scrutinizing gaze, Lu Zechuan remained fairly calm, though his ears slightly flushed red.

"Sit tight." Lu Zechuan said in a low voice.

The tone magnetic and dark.

Xia Mian faintly felt that Lu Zechuan seemed to be planning something big again, wanting to surprise her.

However, thinking of how every time Lu Zechuan planned to surprise her, there would be some mishaps, Xia Mian’s anticipation for this surprise wasn’t very strong.

Not knowing where Lu Zechuan intended to drive, he seemed to have no intention of stopping any time soon.

"If you’re bored, I’ve prepared snacks in the car, you can have some and watch some shows." Lu Zechuan said softly.

Xia Mian responded with a sound, opened the compartment in front of the passenger seat, and indeed found numerous snacks inside.

Xia Mian raised an eyebrow, is Lu Zechuan planning to take her on a long trip?

All the food and drinks are readily available.

Xia Mian even suspected if Lu Zechuan had used some sort of magic on this small compartment, otherwise, how could it hold so much?

Despite her suspicions, Xia Mian didn’t hold back in the least.

She tore open a bag of chips and started munching away.

Since she didn’t know where Lu Zechuan was taking her, she might as well just wait calmly.

After finishing three bags of chips and a line of yogurts, Xia Mian lightly burped, yet Lu Zechuan still had no intention of stopping.

Xia Mian squinted her eyes, turned her head again to look at Lu Zechuan, and asked seriously, "Lu Zechuan, tell me honestly, do you plan to sell me?"

The always mysterious Lu Zechuan finally laughed, "Silly girl, how could I possibly sell you..."

Xia Mian adjusted her seat to lie down more comfortably, "But right now, it seems like you’re up to no good!"

Lu Zechuan smiled helplessly, his tone filled with affection, "Silly girl, I could never be up to no good with you in my entire life."

Xia Mian was satisfied and lazily closed her eyes, "Then continue, I want to sleep for a while."

Lu Zechuan softly agreed.

Xia Mian started to calmly rest her eyes, while Lu Zechuan had already driven to an endlessly vast meadow.

This was already the outskirts of Beijing, unlike the bustling center of the city.

However, here the air was fresh, the sky was blue, the grass was green, and at a glance, the clouds looked like cotton candy.

After parking the car, Xia Mian slowly opened her eyes.

Filled with curiosity, Xia Mian got out of the car and went to the trunk.

Then, she saw Lu Zechuan take out a gigantic kite from the trunk.

It was an immense swallow kite, vividly detailed, lifelike.

Xia Mian blinked, "So, there’s no party, you just want to fly a kite with me?"

Lu Zechuan lowered his gaze, speaking softly, "Look again."

Xia Mian leaned over to look into the trunk and widened her eyes in surprise, "Lu Zechuan, are you having me accompany you to make up for your childhood regrets?!"

In the trunk, besides the large kite, there were slingshots, fishing nets, rods, little shovels, small hoes...

"Well, will you?" Lu Zechuan set up the large kite, his gaze with a hint of warmth falling on Xia Mian.

There was no gathering, just his orchestrated childhood toy collection.

Both Xia Mian and he had dull childhoods, that section of uncolored time was his life’s regret.

Now, his life had color because of Xia Mian, so he aimed to compensate for that colorless period together.
